commission reportgiven Lake Twp. SUpEervisors Harveys Lake Township Su- | pervisors met Saturday at Rug- gles United Methodist Church to hear the report on the commis- sion for the division of property between the township and Lake Borough. Supervisor Sheron Whitesell immediately noted a mathemat- ' ical error which changed the Linge League Ball Park figures. All other stipulations were based on a 70.9 to a 29.1 break- down. In the case of the ball field, final amount arrived at $1005, which the borough owed the township in return for the land. However, recalculation disclosed the correct amount to be $1455. This will be pointed out by solicitor William A. Valen- tine. Township officals have 30days to take exceptions and the board planned to meet sometime this week to decide whether to accept the report or to file. Richard Tattersall appeared before the board after receiving now be presented to the Luzerne WATER co. a letter for dumping costs. Chairman Walter Hoover said Mr. Tattersall owed $25 for dumping in June and $15 for August service. Mr. Tattersall claimed the refuse was from his own land and he thought the borough paid the cost. Secretary Judy Steltz pointed out that he was a commercial hauler. He answered that he was no longer in the business and denied that he was in business prior to June. Mrs. Steltz reminded him that he had paid a hauler fee prior to this date. Mr. Tattersall then asked for a compromise on costs and chairman Hoover re- torted, “You owe us $40 and that’s the amount you will pay.” The business man said his mother would send a check. Solicitor Valentine reported that he had received no ordi- nance resolution concerning the contract with Berkheimer Col- lection Agency. He said he would write another letter as such a resolution is necessary to make the contract legal. He alsonoted that all planning must continued from PAGE 1 County Planning ~and Zoning Board. : Discussion was held on the high cost of operating the land fill. Mr. Whitesell stated that it might be smart to let. the borough operate it, that dump- ing costs might be prohibitive. Mr. Hoover replied, ‘‘Once we get -it, we are keeping it.” THE DALLAS POST, OCT. 9, 1969 Dallas Scouts meet Oct. 15 Communtiy VII Girl Scouts will hold the fall meeting Oct. 15 at Dallas United Methodist Church starting at 10:15 a.m. Mrs. John Robinson Jr. will preside.

LIBERTIES continued from PAGE 1 Murphy, had reportedly told a detective to ‘kick his teeth down his throat,” referring the detective to a man who was involved in court business be- fore him. Mr. Milton said he went to Mr. Murphy who readily admitted threatening the man. The conclusion Mr. Milton drew was that a principal officer of the court system in Wilkes-Barre did not have the slightest idea of what constitutional rights a citizen had. Later Mr. Milton gave his version of the cir- cumstances surrounding the court threat. He said it occurred Sept. 16 when a man named Louis C. Patrick, in his 50's, Wilkes-Barre, was before the police court, not as a suspect and not involved in any crime. He was said to be there as a friend of a friend whose son was a chronic de- ~linquent and Mr. Patrick’s mission was to try to represent the boy. Mr. Milton said Mr. Patrick and the judge got into a reportedly trivial argument over the signing of a paper and that Judge Murphy ended the matter by saying to a policeman present, “if he (Patrick) does this again, kick his teeth down his throat.” Mr. Milton said his information came from the sub-governor’s office in Harris- burg, who was interested in seeing Mr. Patrick’s rights as a citizen not interfered with by the Wilkes-Barre Court. Mr. Milton said the existence of a chapter in itself was an important function, as many times, simple talk ‘with local officials can clear up dis- putes involving civil rights. The first of what may be a string of cases in the long hair problem was brought up after the meeting. A boy from Coughlin’ High School who had been invited to leave school because of long hair asked for legal help. A similar case at Abington Heights High School also was made " known to the ACLU but has not been pressed. Another issue that came up but was put off . officially until the first interim operating com- mittee meeting this week was the subject of the ACLU’s acting in d watchdog or observer capacity at the Oct. 15 moratorium at Wilkes-Barre’s pub- lic square. Students and others opposed to the Vietnam war are said to fear harsh and possibly violent treatment from veterans’ groups. The ACLU observer role would be to compile evidence in case the constitutional right to peaceful assem- bly is violated, or identical rights of veterans is abused. Those on the interim operating committee are Dr. John Freund, Joseph Noterman, John Bugby, Christopher Shaw, Marie Belasco, Florence Wein- berg, Tom DeWitt, Albert Danoff, Cletus Lyman, Lisa Null, Mr. Milton and Bruce Carr. Mr. Carr, a TWA pilot, said he had come from Rome especially for the meeting. An idea was presented to have lawyers from Luzerne plead unpopular cases in Lackawanna courts and vice versa, to free lawyers from fear of later court retribution. Members at the meeting from Dallas were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Belasco and Daniel Foster. _group. session Thursday. Chairman Fisher said that a bill for landfill use for the first half of 1969 had been received from the township but that he questioned its legibility when the auditors checked it over. No action was taken. He noted that it appeared to be less than last year’s rental. Board also approved designa- tion of Harveys Lake Fire Company as the benefactors of the Foreign Insurance monies for their pension fund. A complaint was’ received from Paul Steinmetz requesting one side parking on Anderson Hill. Mr. Fisher said this came under the mayor’s jurisdiction and asked for his opinion. Mayor Kern said council has to give approval in the purchase of signs. Mr. Kern also added he had no opportunity to discuss this with attorney O’Connor since he was not always pres- ent. Attorney McFadden sub- stituted for Mr. O’Connor at Wednesday night's meeting. Replacement of a brake hydrovat at $92.63 was also approved for payment. Road- master Burton King said the original was rebuilt and the 90-day guarantee had expired. barn sale to be held in Lehman A barn sale will be held at the John Curtiss farm opposite the grade school in Lehman Center Sunday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend the old fashioned auction spon- sored by the Kingston Seventh Day Adventist Church.
