One of the supervisor’s pride4 and joys is the repair work completed during the year at Gooney’s Crossing. By con tinuous communications with th^ bankrupt Penn Central, work was completed that has eliminated the horrible hazard that took life and limb over the years. In recent years Gooney’s Crossing \(north of Palmyra .on Maple Ave.) was forbidden a s a crossing for school buses, fire trucks, Snow plows—and any motorist who didn't kJKWTthat five m iles per hour was maximum speed over the tracks. The Town of Palmyra Board also undertook a study of a proposed sewer district for Rolfe St. (on the southern boundary of Palmyra), cooperated with the Village of Palm y ra in the establishm ent of a glass reclamation project and set up a Board of Assessment Review. Board m em bers are Dennis Cook, William Roche and Albert Ryckbost. “Those are the major projects of 1971 and we expect 1972 will again be a busy year as we at tempt to provide needed services at as little cost as possible,” Supervisor Bedette stated. “We have targeted several important programs for 1972 among which are the repair of existing town roads, rewriting of the town zoning ordinance, working with the Village of Palmyra to improve the water system, continuing our efforts to establish a sewer district for the Rolfe Street area and reorganization of the town board so that we have four councilmen instead of two.” WHAT’S NEW?
