The" Dallas Area Put In New District Reapportionme t Bill Awaits Signuturs) Of Governor Pl i The final step in slicing the Dallas area from the present Sixth Legisla- tive District and putting it in a sprawling rural political division which will extend from the Northern to the Southern border of Luzerne County will be taken when Governor Earle fixes his signature to the reap- apportionment bill, which has been passed in both houses. Governor's Earle’s signature to the measure is expected daily. The bill was introduced by Representative Zap- pala of Pittsburgh and had the en- thusiastic support of the county's Democratic delegation. It increased the county’s unit to the" Legislature by one member and gives: Luzerne Coun- ty eight legislative districts, instead ot seven, as at present, Dallas will now be in the Seventh Legislative District. Wilkes-Barre City, which has been the Seventh Leg- islative District, will be known as the Eighth. It will have. two representa- tives. ! The, Sixth Legislative District, after being divided, is constituted by the Boroughs of Duryea, Exeter, Luzerne, Swoyerville, Wiest Pittston, West Wyo- ming and Wyoming. The new . Seventh Legislative Dis- trict will include the Boroughs of Courtdale, Dallas, Forty Fort, Pringle, New Columbus, Shickshinny, Nesco- peck and Conyngham, the first district of the Third Ward of Kingston, the Fourth, and Fifth Wards, the Third District of the Sixth Ward and the Seventh Ward of Kingston Borough, and the townships of Dallas, Exeter, Franklin, Jackson, Xingston, Lake, iZiéhman, Ross, Fairmount, Hunlock, Union, Huntington, Salem, Nescopeck, Black Creek, Sugar Loaf, Butler and Hollenback. Since the majority of these towns are Republican strongholds it is al- most certain that the representative elected from this distriet will be Re- publican. The reapportionment, how- ever, strengthens the Democratic leadership in other districts in the county and should assure a Demo- cratie majority in the county’s repre- sentation at Harrisburg for some years to come. After Governor Earle signs the bill there can be no redistricting of the legislative districts in the county until the next decennial census of the Fed- eral government; in 1940. i A Piss Miss Rood’s Pupils In Demonstration A musical: demonstration will be given on Monday night at 8 at Dallas M.

Where two or more people own the lake- front. property the State claims the body of water as its property. At Harvey's Lake the State ' owns twenty-five feet from the low water mark to the highway and twenty-five feet from the center of the road to- ward the lakefront. In most: places this completely eliminates private property, two exceptions being at .. Sandy Beach and at the Troxel prop- erty at Outlet. : Buildings meeting certain require- ments will be allowed on the lake front but their owners will have to pay a levy on square footage to the State Department. : Many other buildings which violate the State specifications will have to be changed. Some protrude too far over the surface of the lake, some are too high, and some will be rebuilt on private property. which will not be subject to the State’s levy. A number of prominent residents of the lake have protested the wholesale violation of the “anti-squatting” laws for some time, on the grounds that the growing number of buildings along the lake-front detracted frori the beauty of the resort. In addition to this, the State has tentative plans to construct a wide, concrete highway completely around the lake, and it wants ‘motorists on that scenic circle to have a clear view of the lake. Many of the buildings are now so high that they block the sight of the water. No complete report has been made by the .State engingers who made a survey at the lake several weeks ago but it is expected that consideration will be shown in granting an extension of time to owners who will have to change their lake-front buildings.
