Mountville replacing historical markers – LancasterOnline

Go HERE for the article which states, in part: “To the west, a marker pole stands tilted and rusted along Route 441 near Columbia.”
Today, I took these two shots of the pole, which is bent over and broken at the top, where the sign was removed.
But who removed it? It went missing fairly recently.
This is how the sign looked a few years ago.

Local SPCA proves to be an attractive option

Mayor Leo Lutz of Columbia provided a copy of borough policy, which says stray dogs are held temporarily at the borough shed. If a dog's owner is not identified within four hours, dogs are taken to Columbia Animal Hospital for care.

“After 48 hours, if the dog is still in the care of the Columbia Animal Hospital and an owner has not been identified, the canine will be euthanized and cremated,” the policy states.

“It is not the borough's intent to euthanize animals, but to find them homes,” Lutz added. “This procedure is to give guidelines for operation. We will make every attempt to find a home for the animal,” including efforts to find foster care beyond the initial 48 hours while an owner is sought.
