I think the county could allow the community to support the cost. Allow contributions that would cover the cost to instal and maintain.

Have it set up that donated funds could only be used as directed.

dirty or not - the least the government could do is use our tax dollars to instill some community pride.

I've always like seeing the town name on water towers. Perhaps it is as simple as Steven Pope has mentioned before me that it instills community pride. That's a shame it's not being considered, especially with how prominent the tower is.

Ok so who paid for having the name painted on the water tower at Hereford High School?

Why not use the money from the new gambling bill...it will never be used for what it is supposed to be used for anyhow!

Paint PERRY HALL on the water tower before all the future cell site installations;microwave dishes and antennas make it look tacky. I believe some of that is already there. Are they going to paint over it or remove them first. Seems like they can deal with this issue but not a sign painted on the tank. Money greases all hinges!

They would probably put "Nottingham" on the tower. How did Perry Hall 21236 become Nottingham?

I think Robin Hood had something to do with it

If there is a buck in it, the officials are in it.

I fail to see how it would require "more maintenance"..,? More "initial cost" maybe, but I agree with the other remark that the community could/would pay for that additional cost. "If the logo got dirty, there would be requests for repainting more frequently than needed"? The tower was painted, what, 5 years ago, and now it's slated to be painted again? Doesn't even look like it needs to be painted again. And, if the ppainting is required due to the proposed repairs, then it shouldn't have been painted 5 years ago. Someone's not being fiscally responsible.

David Marks, as former president of the PHIA, I feel you need to listen to the residents of Perry Hall and question who's overseeing the budget and planning of annual maintenance of structures like this. Community pride is a quality that often manifests itself subliminally, and it's due to simple pleaseures like this. If I could paint a Mail Pouch tobacco or a Coca-Cola sign on the side of my house, I'd do it, becasue I know it would brings smiles to many, even if just for a brief moment.

When THEY are spending OUR money, fiscal responsibility seems to be an afterthought.

I was attending Perry Hall Elementry when that tower was built, So for forty-five years plus, it has never needed to proclaim the Perry Hall boundry. The families who settled the area know where they live. All of the new people think that this is needed, I say get to know your neighbors and find out who's land their houses are built on. Find out the who and what of Perry Hall and then you maybe you can call here your home town.

So why not ask some of the local merchants to give contributions to painting the perry hall name on the water tower with the date of incorporation.Set up an escrow account with a local bank to handle the account.Why is government so unwilling to cooperate with the community in what appears to be a worthwhile and good civic endeavor.
