It is the thinking of the candi- dates, and a continually growing | number of taxpayers in the borough | area, that a Borough Manager would still have to have the assis- tance and supervision of an active borough council. that since an active council is nec- esary, a borough as small as the new one is, faced with the ex- pense made necessary by its for- mation, can and must be spared the expense of a Borough Manager.

VOL 78. NO. 13. THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 106( Sunset Beach Association Writes Bn Open Letter To Lake Citizens Explains Purpose, Plans, Progress And Obstacles Which We, the Public Information Si Inc., have been en- selves with the proposed Project 70 site at Sunset. | The Harveys Lake Beach Associ- | ation was founded last September for the expressed purpose of locating a beach at Sunset by means of state | purposes.

We welcome, in fact, of both political groups in an effort to realize our singular goal. the support | | It appears, however, that our goal of a beach at Sunset has become | a prominent football on the grid- | iron of local politics. At this writing | ur fears are two fold: First, the matter of unwanted publicity and the adverse results | it may have on our goal in the | higher echelons of our state govern- ment. | Secondly, and perhaps even great- | er, the matter of distortions and | untruths regarding Project 70 which | may cause irreparable damage to, | our cause and the people of Sun- | To begin at the beginning we) ! must go back two years or el at which time the law regarding | | Project 70 read that the partici- | tate | At A.T.&T.

This meant that Lehman (or its super- visiors) would have to supply the $12,000.00. Uuderstandably they were in ia difficult position. How could the Supervisors of Lehman Township justify this expenditure of $12,000.00 to the citizens of Lehman Township, if any, the generosity of three in the Sunset Area. through Mack entered into an agreement whereby they would give | the equivalent of forty feet of their lake front to Lehman Township as a down payment to participate in | Project 70. Our largest hurdle at this time The remaining problem was one of maintenance. The Supervisors of Lehman wanted a guarantee that the maintenance if acquired, would not be the responsibility of the tax- payers of Lehman Township. This is where the Harveys Lake | Borough Association enters the pic- ture. Our goal was to form a fund raising group with the thought in Organists will be Ruth Higgins | set who have placed their faith in mind to raise enough money to | the Harveys Lake Beach Association. | guarantee the continued mainten- ance of the beach site. In this way we would assure the Supervisors that they would not have a tax burden on their hands. It is proper to mention at this | time that the law concerning Pro- ject 70 has undergone recent re- vision. It is no longer necessary to | have a down payment of 30%. As the law presently reads, Project 70 is a cooperating venture on the part of state and federal governments. All that is necessary is that you qualify | and the state and federal govern- ment share the cost of land acqui- sition 50-50.

It was at this meet- ing that Project 70 was brought to | the floor. Mr. Burnside, as spokes- | man for the Executive Committee, | made the following remark, in Harrisburg assuring us Project 70 5 would not go through as the Bor- ough decision was going to be handed down.” The key word in Mr. Burnside's remark is the use of the word. “assurance”. Think of it. on their part as to the approval of | Project 70. Their feelings regarding | Project {ill advised use of the word ‘‘assur-: 70 were betrayed by the ance”. In Mid-December of 1966, a letter sent to the appropriate office at the state level. In this letter it was requested that Project 70 in- ferred in this correspondance was of fraudulent dealings donated. Early in January of 1967 an answer was received in which the Harveys Lake Executive Committee was assured in writing that Project 70 would never be a reality. For the Harveys Lake Executive Committee at this time to plead | innocent to ever being opposed to | the beach at Sunset is a gross hypocrisy. For Mr. Roushey and Mr. Tobin to be left to answer the questions dealing with Project 70 is not worthy of any group calling itself civic minded. In closing, we give heart to mem- bers of the Harveys Lake Beach | Association as well as all citizens | interested in a beach at Sunset. On March 14, we re-submitted an ap- | plication for Project 70, we are | presently awaiting favorable word from Harrisburg. The future of Pro- ject 70 at Sunset has never looked as bright as it is at this writing.
