State funds necessary for borough recreation It seems that political pres- sure is needed to acquire state funds for the proposed recre- ation program in Dallas Bor- ough. In a report made to Dallas Borough Council at a meeting Jan. 20, councilman George Thomas stated that the matter comes up in Harris- burg in February and that he had been advised the borough would have to fight to get the matching $14,000 state funds expected. For the second winter plans for skating facilities and fur- ther development of the Burn- dale Road site have fallen short. The facilities will not be available until the state appro- priates the money. Local funds are on hand and plans have been approved by the state. Mayor Steve Hartman told council he had received a let- ter and clippings from Arizona regarding the Valley Paperback Co. He indicated his concern. . Police Chief Russell Honeywell said he had also received clip- pings regarding the alleged pornographic literature pub- lished by the company. Solicitor Charles Lemmond Jr. recom- mended that no action be taken at this time as this is pre- judgement of the company. Robert Jones, a resident of Reservoir Road, appeared at the meeting to issue a com- plaint concerning the condition of Reservoir Road. Mr. Jones said that not only is snow re- “moval inadequate, but that he felt the road had deteriorated because it was not oiled last summer. Andrew Parrento, road supervisor, stated that he was unable to obtain oil at that time. Council decided that 3,000 gallons of oil will be specified in bids for road materials this year. Bids were received and a contract was awarded to L.L. Richardson, Dallas Dodge deal- er, for a new four-wheel drive truck with a removable tapered snow plow. The truck lists for $11,528.89, but discount and trade-in on the old truck amount to $2,828.89, making purchase price for the borough $8,700. Report of final tax collec- tions for 1969 was submitted by tax collector Thomas E. Reese. The amount of $32,856.14 was accepted and Mr. Reese was commended by council for doing a good job. : The borough voted to renew membership in the Pennsyl- vania Association of Boroughs at a yearly fee of $91. Solicitor Lemmond strongly advised council to join the organization. He said he felt they gave good representation in Harrisburg and offered the additional ser- vice of having a resident doctor in government available to give advice when problems arise. 3 Discussion was held on the necessity of acquiring a new police radio. The present one belongs to the fire and ambu- lance companies and will be moved during the remodeling of the borough building.
