Citizen Norman Wright addressed council and asked it to open the ground for recreation by charging a fee for a permit. Councilman James Musselman outlined the reasons the borough cannot do that. Musselman said a “pay to use” policy would bring an end to the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s patrolling of the ground, effectively eliminating consistent policing of mountain, and that the borough would not b...
