apuilding Inspector Richard Disque

report at Borough Council meeting

Street was for sale, that the asking
price for 100 X 300 feet was $3000,
but that the owner might take a
lower price, if the borough were
interested. Brobst said that the
lot might be handy for community
use in some way, if not for a South
District voting place. Councilman
Robert Post suggested that Council
scout around for a rental possibility
for a voting place.
It was reported that Harveys
Lake Light Company would like to
have the borough take over some |
right-of-way adjacent to the post- |
office ground. Council stated at |

Disque withheld granting a build-

which gave approval at this meet-
ing.
Disque further reported that per- |
mits had been given to several!
other installations around town, |
including a septic tank and drain-'
field on Wellington Avenue, which
had been installed several times
before, without a permit, and with
a result that some definite sewage
problems with a french drain re-
sulted. This time the job was
““done right.
Disque said that contractors and
landowners have to be alerted that
it is illegal to make major altera-
tions of property without a build-
g permit.
The building inspector also re-
ported a stream of sewage water
running out of a hole in a drive-
wav en 7» on Avenue and down

ie also reported the existence
of six ‘camper’ trailers in Dallas
Borough. Council said, however,
that camper trailers are prohibited
only as residences, and can be kept
‘adjacent to homes until camping
season. They cannot be permanent.
Disque revealed a prospective
buyer for the Paul Eckert home on
Machell Avenue who stipulated that
she was not interested if the peat
bogs on the Eckert property were
to be reopened commercially. Build-

stood that Machell Avenue was
