Supervisors meeting Saturday, and
reccmmended the board appoint
| Assistant Chief Walbridge Leinthall
| to the post.
The news hit the meeting like a
bombshell, and was totally unex-
pected by the supervisors. Letter
| of resignation simply said “due to
| conditions,” without stating the con-
ditions. Chief Hughes has directed
| the Lake police force for thirteen
years, and is presently 64 years old.
| He was appointed to replace Fred
| Swanson.
| The police chief told the Post:
yesterday that his resignation was
for “health” reasons, as much as
anything. It was definitely pre-
cipitated by any friction with any-
one.
Supervisor Ed Crake said: “We'll
'miss you. You did a good job.”
Supervisors Sharon Whitesell and
Walter Hoover agreed, and all were

Resignation will be effective May
15, by which time the board will
have considered a replacement for

‘On Planning Law
Lake Township will circulate a
ja
ii
petition among taxpayers in the
near future to determine if the
township’ wants to form its own
planning commission to deal with
{ zoning, matters, or: torabide ‘by the |,
-. cGunty.erdinance which -is ‘now err
| fective.
Lake is one
of the Back Mountain
| municipalities which is governed by
county zoning law, not having form-
ed its own zoning ordinance.
Under county law, the bulk of
| Lake Township is zoned “A-1", pri-
marily agricultural, but with leeway
for practically any enterprise. There
is extensive residential area at the
| lake itself, as well as business and
| commercial, set aside on the coun-
| ty's zoning map. Areas termed ‘S-
1”, suburban residential, permitting -
one-family ‘dwellings, most agri-
* | culture except kennels and com-
mercial chicken farms, and a host |
| of other things requiring board ap-
| proval, include Outlet Village, small |
| sections built-up near the Lehman |
line, and the area around Vito
Pilosi’s. Loyalville Corners is term-
ed a business district. And that is
that for zoning in Lake Township,
as far as the county is concerned.
Lake supervisors are interested
in forming their own planning com-
| mission cad o rdinance, which would
then supercede county law, for bet- J
| ter control. Lake Township has
problems which: would be better |
handled on the local level, as do
| most municipalities. Many Back |
il
Mountain communities, dissatisfied
with county law on zoning, have in-
troduced their own law in this field.
Supervisor Sharon Whitesell,
Loyalville, said. that while the town-
ship was at it, they might consider =
introducing legislation for subdi-
| vision regulations as well. This has |
been common practice among the
various communities.
Whitesell also observed that many
people in Lake Township did not
even know they were presently reg- oo
ulated by county zoning. ‘Constable
Jasper Kocher suggested that a pub-
lic meeting on zoning prospects be
called, to inform the taxpayers di~
rectly. :
Along the same lines, discussion
was: held at the Supervisors’ meet-
ing on Saturday on various local
| problems at the Lake. It was an-
nounced ‘that the Health Depart-
ment had not released the names
or number of violators who had
complied with state orders to clean
up or replaced ‘their septic systems
| which were found defective and
pclluting Harveys Lake. LaaE
| Supervisor Whitesell said Lake
i health officer Henry Stefanowicz
had been going around and inspect=
ing many systems, accompanied by
a state health officer.
Supervisor Ed Crake moved the: #
| secretary contact the Health De-
partment to get an idea of “what's
going on.’ :
It. was again noted that here
will ‘have to be some changes in
the new septic tank ordinance to
conform to present practices. There
are some places in Lake Township
where a simple sump would work
adequately, without contamination,
y
