Dress Factory 3 May Come Here he | Possibility of a Sewing Factory | in Dallas Borough has aroused hopes for more employment in Si homes in the area and open an- | tagonism in some residents. There is reason to believe that | if Dallas Borough Council approves the establishment of such an in- dustry. in the. former Himmler Theatre on Lake Street that be- | | tween 75 and 100 persons will find gainful employment. The building is owned by Com- monwealth Telephone Company and | offers a square footage of 4,000 feet. | Use cof the structure would bring | tax revenue to the Borough and a | payroll of $300,000 per year would be added to the local economy. Questions on sewage and park- ing appear to be the main point among objectors but if Council ac- cepts the Dress Company, a sew- age treatment plant would have to be installed by the proprietor. Park- | ing facilities may’ be found in the Dallas Methodist Church parking lot | if that body approves with extra revenue forthcoming to bolster the edifice funds. Before any sale can be consu- mated however, it will be neces-! sary to change the zoning code to that of an industrial site. Lake!

The Game Commission offers a trophy for a hunter bagging a bear, a deer, and a wild turkey during the same year. Pipes for heating gas were trench- ed into place on Lehman Avenue last week, followed by paving with no disturbance to motorists. y Now in widespread use, the land- | fill system has been adopted by | most major cities and nearly half the communities of more than 2,500 population. Former landfills have been converted to parks and recrea- | tion areas or are used for airport | extensions and as building sites (both commercial and residential): The system permits variations in | the quantity of materials to be | handled. It is operated by having a tractor spread and compact refuse ' in thin layers, then covered at least | by the end of each day with a dirt sealcoat. This blocks the entry of flies and rodents as well as pre- venting blowing of loose papers. ' For this reason, work areas are kept as small as possible, Good | compaction is important since it allows a larger volume of refuse to be put in the same space, aids de- composition and reduces settling. A special advantage of the land- fill system is that it can be located | near residential areas without in- convenience to residents. Adequate i space is a primary concern. As a general rule, approximately one acre per year is needed for each 10,000 population. Year round ac- cessibility to the landfill site is es- sential. It should be located near a paved road and be accessible from at least two directions. The site chosen should be capable. of providing the necessary dirt. If earth must be hauled to the site, it is an additional cost to ‘be con- sidered. Each days accumulation of refuse should be sealed with at least six inches of dirt, with a 24- |inch blanket covering the landfill when it is completed. This effec- | tively keeps flies and rodents from | the site. possible re- the old Oakdale School, which was minus running water, electric lights, and central heating.
