Dispute of Mt. Lake
Council Is Aired

Nearly one hundred citizens of
Mt. Lake Park turned out Tues
day night to hear discussion about
payment of a bill over which the
Mayor and councilmen we're dead
locked.
The controversy arose after
Mayor C. c. Mason had presented
bill for use of his bulldoZer in
grading and leveling several streets
in the Park and making a road
way around the lake to make
Crystal Spring available to the
public.
Councilmen Raymond WEIGH,
Earl Sebold and Ted Wood took
exception to part of the itemized
bill and deferred payment. Mayor
Mason in turn took his case be-
fore the people, resulting in the
meeting Tuesday night.
After several hours of debate it
was felt that agreement was near
and cooperation restored between
the two units. Several people
pointed out that technically, it was
against statutes to do work for the

Possible danger spots along the
school bus routes are being close
ly checked since the school bus
train crash on the Mt. Lake Cross
ing on September 10, and this was
one of the points where the safety
of the children was questioned.
A previous examination Of the
bridge was asked this summer from
Trail Ways when that company was
mapping out bus route for a
summer tourist group, but nothing
was done at that time.
In order to double check on the
condition of the bridge which APP
parentiy has been in use since
1889, the County Commissioners
arranged to have two bridge con-
sultants come here and State Sena-
tor Bernard Gender, at the request
of the County Commissioners, put
in a request from John B. Funk,
chairman of the State Roads COM
mission, to send a state engineer
here. Senator Gender said MIR.

A. D. Naylor Gets
Contract For Mt.
Lake Postoffice

A contract has been signed for
the construction and lease to the
post office department for a new
post office building in Mt. Lake
Park. Successful bidder was Alonza
D. Naylor, of Oakland, according
to Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield.
Construction of the post office
is expected to begin Immediately,
and completion is expected for
early March. The lease will run
for ten years, with renewal OPP
tions. Actual construction will be
done by Kitzmiller and Edgar,
local building contractors.
Located on the north side of
route 1875, opposite the intersection
of state route $50, the structure will
provide 1749 square feet of interior
space, an outside loading platform,
and ample hardsurfaced space for
parking. Specifications call for the
latest modern lighting and equip
ment, including low, open patron
service counter.
Mr.. Summerfield revealed that,
under the departments commercial
leasing program the department
now is awarding contracts for new
postal facilities at the rate of three
a day.
He pointed out that the postal
facility to be built in Mt. Lake
Park is typical of others through
out the country. 1t will contain
fluorescent lighting, separate
patron lobby that may be used "a
hours a day. New mechanical
equipment and furnishings will be
provided.
The Mt Lake office is one of
1,400 post offices that will be built
in fiscal 1860, and will remain I'M
der private ownership while leased
to the Federal government, and
hence will pay local real estate
taxes.
Summerfield said that compare
tive cost studies between govern
ment-oWned and commercially
leased buildings, over a 50-year
building life have shown that the
leasing program saves between 80
to 40 percent in ultimate costs to
the taxpayers.

BRIDGE CONDEMNED

The bridge over the Little Yough-
iogheny river was definitely con-
demned after a consulting engi-
neer and two representative from
the American Marietta Bridge
company made an inspection of
the structure yesterday. They de-
clared the bridge was unsafe for
even one ton.
There was some indication that
the bridge would be completely
closed to any traffic while plans
proceeded for new structure. Al
though the responsibility of the
town, the County Commissioners
are cooperating. They are planning
at present an 84-foot span with
concrete abutments. They esti-
mated it would take at least six
weeks to have new bridge in
place.
Mayor Russell Smith could not
be contacted this morning, so it
was not known just what action
would be taken.
