MOTORISTS VICTIMS
Breaking up a ring of petty stealing?
that has been going on in the borough |
for some time, Chief Leonard O'Kane |
arrested Frank Klug, Jacob Apolski
and Harold Ferdessi Tuesday night on
warrants issued by automobile owners
who have had 'motometers, hub caps,
auto robes and radiator caps stolen |
from their atitomobiles during the past!
few weeks. The defendants were taken |
before Squire John Yaple where
Apolski © was exonerated from the!
charges but Klug and Ferdessi, who |
confessed to stealing, were bound over
to the juvenile court for a hearing on
Saturday morning.
All three of the boys, whose average
age is sixteen, are former Dallas Bor-
ough sghool students, but have not |
been attending classes for some time.
Chief Leonard O'Kane does not be- |
lieve that the defendants are respon- |
sible for the. vandalism which has |
lately been reported by automobile
owners who park their cars along Lake
Street nights while - attending = the
Himmler Theatre. Of recent weeks
many car owners have been reporting
finding their license plates bent double
or destroved when returning to their |
automobiles after the movies. They
also report a number of small thefts |
and other damage. Police have been
seeking the culprits but have as ye
made no arrests.

Called To Meet
Corn And Hog Producers To
Discuss Reduction
Program
All corn and hog producers in Luz-
erne County who are interested in the
(corn-hog reduction’ program are in-
vited to attend a county-wide meeting
today at 1:30 P. M,, in the office of the
Luzerne County Co-operative Associa-
tion, rear 84 Scott Street, Wilkes-
Barre.
If sufficient interest is manifested in
this reduction program, a county as-
sociation will be formed.
A recent ruling by Dr,
chief
A. G. Black,
of the corn-hog section of the
Administra-
tion, says that all hog producers re-
gardless of their past hog production
now are eligible for hog reduction pay-
ments.
A previous ruling specified that if
the 1932-33 hog litter average was less
than three, the contracting producer
was not required to reduce hog pro-
duction in 1934, and in any event was
not eligible to receive any hog reduc-
tion payments.
Under the new ruling, all producers
will be entitled to reduction payments
of $5 per head on wa number of hogs
equal to 75 per cent of their past aver-
age of market hog production, pro-
vided their litter average and produc-
tion of hogs for market is reduced not
less than 25 per cent. In cases where
the litter average is less than four, this
means that the contracting producer
will have to reduce by one litter in or=

Borough Tax Association
Hears Reports On
Campaign
FINAL NOTICES
Reports on the progress made in col-
lecting delinquent school and borough
taxes in Dallas Borough were made to
members of the Dallas Borough Tax-
payers’ Association at a largely at-
tended ‘meeting in the high school
on Wednesday night.
Warrants in action of assumpsit will
be issued vet this week by authority of
the borough school board in an effort
to collect all delinquent taxes. It is
hoped that the summoning of the de-
linquents before a justice-of-the-peace
will result in collection of the majority
of the delinquent taxes without re-
sorting to judgments and subsequent
executions for sale.
Borough council has already
toward forcing delinquents
through treasurer’s sale.
The necessity for the campaign
against delinquents has been made ap-
parent by the large amounts of unpaid
taxes owed to the school district and
the borough. Approximately $17,600 is
owed the school board in delinquent
taxes which have accumulated during
the past five years. An amount nearly
as large is owed to the borough.
Tremendous strides have already
been made by the Taxpayers Associa-
tion in its campaign to collect delin-
quent taxes. That organization has
issued a plea to delinquent taxpayers,
urging that they ‘meet their obligations
immediately without pressure in order
to save both the school district and
the council the expense which will re-
sult from legal action.
