For $4500 Tax
Borough, Township,
Claim Plant Revenue
Borough Council ‘president Harold
Brobst and secretary-treasurer Rob-
) ert Brown asked for authority Tues-
day night to take any means neces-
sary to regain a one per cent real
estate tax of $4,500, now held by
Dallas Township, from the sale of
Natona Mills last year.
This could mean a court action
to settle the claim, if the Town-
ship makes no move to restore
funds. The Township has deposit-
ed the check from the Luzerne
County treasurer’s office to its own
account.
Dispute arises, ' explained Mr.
Brown, from an old map, aparently
still in use by the Township, which
shows the plant within boundaries
of the Township.
The Borough says that boundaries
“have long since been moved, and
Natona is now in its jurisdiction.
Further motions provided for pay-
ment of bills from the past month.
Bill for the traffic signal which
burned out during a November snow
storm has not yet been received.
Letters were read from the Plan-
ning Commission; from Myra Risley,
and the Highway Deartment. Com-
mission reported that, due to slow-
ness of the county commission in
referring to Dallas’ situation, the
Dallas group would proceed on its
own to draft a new zoning ordi-
nance.
Mrs. Risley requested the Council
to remove ‘No Parking” signs from
the Dallas Post side of Lehman
Avenue, as neighbors across the
street complain that Post business
traffic blocks access to their homes.
Letter was 1. c.ed to Police Com-
mittee. :
Highway Department said pro-
posals would be accepted for the
new Dallas-Luzerne highway Janu-
ary 18.
Motions were passed to re-appoint
Borough employees, including police,
at the same rate. Also approved
~ were motions to reappoint Charles
Lamont for a five-year term to the
Planning Commission, to accept
Miners National Bank, Dallas, as
. depositor, and to permit the secre-
“money. i received,
X
tary-treasurer to borrow sufficient
funds for ‘Borough use until tax
¥ “
Real estate tor and per capita’
tax were approved for the coming
year.
There will be an adjourned meet-
ing Tuesday, January 22.

Choice Evergreen
Mr. and Mrs. William Pierce, Jr.,
Harveys Lake, returning home on
Thursday from a holiday visit with
Mr. and Mrs. William Pierce, Sr.,
Shavertown, who are wintering at
Lauderdale by the Sea, were dis-
mayed to find one of the lovely
eight, foot evergreens on their front
lawn, hacked down and carted off
for a Christmas tree.
The two trees, standing in a grove
of birches, had taken a number of
years to reach their present growth.
The Pierces report the weather
just fine in Florida with the tem-
perature over a hundred in the sun
and eighty degrees in the shade.
They are both sporting suntans, after
basking on the beach. They made
