Highland Township Supervisors debated the campsite admissions tax again. They reviewed a solicitor letter stating the tax must apply to the full base and not split among sport recreation lodging or rage. Stanley Wolf urged a simple per site or graduated rate, while Roy Coldsmith proposed sticking with the existing ordinance and sending the idea to the planning commission.

Cable TV plan eyed for Adams County towns
Adams Electric General Manager Charles Overman urged York Springs Borough Council to pursue a cable system with South Central Area Telecommunications similar to Fairfield’s deal. He noted potential savings on electric bills via load management while stressing non exclusivity of past CATV agreements and the council’s intent to void non compliant contracts. Council members voiced interest but recalled an unfinished 1970s agreement with American Tele-Systems Corp. and authorized sending a notice to end that arrangement. Lester Wadel praised the system’s potential benefits.
