Lenharts- ville is a small town, a very small town. The population is about 200. So, when the borough council decides to do something, it often means the council members will do it themselves. On August 20, I went looking for a perch where I had seen a Great Egret the day before and found it wasn't there. The dead tree which had been carried down the Maidencreek and lodged under the old Chestnut St. bridge during a flood a year or two ago was being cut up be a crew of councilmen and others in boats, wading in the pond and up on the bridge with a backhoe. One of the virtues of small town life and politics is that the scope for bureaucratic inertia and buck-passing is quite limited. As I said to the backhoe operator, I knew it wasn't a PennDoT project because they would have needed twice as many men and bigger backhoe. And, it would have taken a long time to organize and cost a great deal more money.
