Natona's Letter Poses Question
Of Suit To Board And Council
Borough Will Cite
Courts’ Decisions
Whether or not to part with $4500 ,
as a result of a recent letter request
Dallas last
night.
Township supervisors
Letter was from lawyers for Na-
tona Mills, asking Dallas Township
to return to ‘them the sum, now
held intact by the board, a sum
which represents real estate sales
tax on the mill to which Dallas Bor-
ough also lays claim.
Dispute centers around alleged
annexation of the mill property by
the borough some ten years ago,
and later rulings of high courts to
the effect that the borough did in-
deed include Natona Mills.
Prior to then, and even now,
according to at least one township
official, the mill lay in the town-
ship.
Whether the township returned
the money was now, as a result of
Natona’s ‘letter, simply a matter
of deciding whether the courts were
right, or whether the township
would require the borough to sue
them for the money.
That was the issue facing Dallas
Township supervisors at their April
Attorney Frank Townend, town-
ship solicitor, . announced earlier
that attorneys for Natona Mills had
written him that Dallas Borough
solicitor advised them of error of
address in ‘the recent deed, and
had formally requested return of
tax paid the township on that deed.
He intended to appraise the su-
pervisors at the meeting last night.
Borough solicitor Robert Fleming
advised Council at last meeting that
the law on the situation was ex-
plicit, and that the Superior Court
had affirmed a ruling upholding
annexation of the mill to the bor-
ough.
At that time he stated that Na-
tona’s lawyers were studying the
situation, and that, should they find
the borough’s claim to be valid and
thus request return of the money;
Council could be sure of regaining”
the sum. i
Attorney Townend said that the!
$4500 would be returned if Board
of Supervisors agreed to Natona’s
request. “Naturally, the solicitor |
obséived, “the township would not?
enthusiastically relinquish the sum |
if they were legally entitled to do!
otherwise. |
. Township, however, has heen:
holding the money intact.
%. President supervisor Fred TLam-
or
eaux has been - hesitant to re-
linquish the tax money, because he
believes that Natona Mills is actual- |
‘in the township.
He cites among his reasons: maps
have never shown the mill to be
in the borough; that he had never
heard of a split tax system whereby
school taxes were paid to one
municipality and sales tax to an-
other; and that the township, not
the borough, had been patroling the
property. |
Borough Council has stated that
one of the reasons for taking out
a loan from the bank to cover ex-
penses for the first part of this year
has been the $4500 gap in the
treasury.
Solicitors for both sides said they '
were aware of the ruling of .the
Superior Court affirming the lower
court. which held Natona annexed
to the borough.
Two Walls Tumble

Township Considers
Tax Return Request
Appraised of Natona Mills’ re-
quest to return $4500 real estate
sales tax to the company, president
supervisor Fred Lamoreaux was, at
press-time, unenthusiastic about the
idea.
He reserved his decision, how-
ever, until conferring with solicitor,
since rights of either borough or
township to the tax-money are now
a matter of law.
Superior court affirmed a decision
annexing Natona to the borough ten
years ago. Lamoreaux has said,
however, that in actual practice,
police protection, and on the maps,
the mill is in the township.

Fatally Burned

Rushed To Mercy
By Kingston Twp.

Second and . third degree burns
which covered ninety percent of his
body claimed the life of Joseph
Emerick, 75, well known Chase far-
mer, Saturday morning in Mercy
Hospital.
Mr. Emerick, who had gone out
on his land Friday afternoon to burn
brush was discovered by his son,
Leo, sitting near a chicken coop
with his clothing burned entirely
from his body.
Flames had seared his face, arms,
chest, back, and legs. Although his
shoes and socks were still intact he
also suffered« severe burns of the
feet.
Kingston Township Ambulance on
duty for school fire drills and man
ned by Arnold Yeust, Andrew Roan,
William Pugh, Leo Salatino and
‘William Kreischer answered the
emergency call.
So badly burned was the victim
that he had ‘to be carried in a sheet
to the ambulance.
It is thought that Mr. Emerick
may have suffered a weak spell and
fallen into the fire or that a‘sudden
shift in the wind may have whipped | i
the flames close behind him. There
were no witnesses to the accident.
A resident of Jackson Township
for over fifty ‘years, Mr. Emerick
was born in Czechoslavakia, coming
to this country in 1905. He had en-
gaged in truck farming during his
entire residence here, assisted by
his son, Leo.
‘He was a member of St. John’s
Nupomucene Church, Luzerne, and
its Holy Name Society.
He is survived by his widow, the

Taxpayers of Dallas Borough,

Townships will realize a huge sav-

Dallas high school erected in 1960,
through the action of the Dallas
Area School Authority which in a
five hour session with representa-
tives of the First National Bank
of Wilkes-Barre Tuesday evening,
completed proceedings for. a re-
funding program.
Set up in 1959, under the chair-
manship of Fred Eck, Shavertown,
and vice chairman, Harry D. Sweps-
ton, Dallas, the local Authority
floated a bond issue to provide
$1,900,000, the amount required for
the proposed Dallas Senior High
School and grounds.
Bonds bearing a top interest rate
of 4% per cent were sold at that
time. By following closely the fi-
nancial advice of Kidder, Peabody
& Company, previous bonds were
called and new bonds issued this
week at a maximum interest rate
of 3% per cent, a net saving of
nearly $200,000.
With wise investment of surplus
funds, the Authority will have the
district's indebtedness paid up in
1988 at no increase ‘in original
rental fees. Dallas School Board
pays a yearly rental of $125,000 to
the School Authority, which owns

Jackson Handed
New Road Woes
Larksville Dropping
Its Maintenance
A refusal Monday night by Larks-
ville borough to help Jackson Town-
ship maintain a border-line stretch
of Route 599, also known as
“Steele’s Farm Road,” was referred
to consideration of solicitor Jona-
than Valentine at the board meet-
ing Tuesday night.
Borough contends that only Jack-
son residents live on the road, for
which township receives taxes, and
that the state will help with the
bulk of maintenance.
Supervisors had
borough council
‘night to discug re-
quest of Larks:
Dual maintenance p which
the supervisors maintain
been carried out by Larksville any-
way, stems from a decision after a
1937 case concerning alleged road
nuisance that each municipality
would take one mile of two-lane
road complete, instead of each tak-
ing the two miles of one lane within
their boundaries.
At that time Jackson got the mile |
of road inaccessible to them except
mile. Since supervisors have al- |
ways plowed Larksville’s share to |
get through to their own anyway.
and since no Larksville residents
along Lagisville's . the
borough relinquished responsibility
for the road. :
‘They now suggest that Jackson
take .over the other mile, saying
that the township receives property
taxes from township residents whose
property fronts on tha Larksville
part of the road anyway.
Larksville says that state subsidy
for maintenance of the added sec-
tion will compensate for the added
work. Board of supervisors do not
think so.
All reports at the meeting were
approved as read, and all bills |
ordered paid.

Lowest bid was $184,096 higher
than the lone bid from Central

Bartell characterized the 4.61
