more Swoyersville citizens;
Brook Street is the forgotten
street of both Kingston Town-
ship and Swoyersville, accord-
ing to residents who appeared
at the Kingston Township
Supervisors meeting last week.
Some residents pay taxes to one
municipality, some to the other,
and all get service from neither.
Residents stated they are with-
out snow removal, street lights,
road repairs or garbage collec-
tion.
Actually, they wish to belong
officially to Swoyersville to
which they are geographically
aligned and’ where their
children would have easy ac-
cess to schools. Kingston Town-
ship upervisors sympathetic-
ally a reed to let them go and
instructed that an effort be
made by Solicitor Benjamin R.
Jones III to aid them in being
accepted by the other
municipality.
A resident of Terrace Avenue,
whose property is adjacent to
the Little League practice field,
appeared at the meeting to
complain about damage to his
car allegedly done by a young
ballplayer. The president of
Back Mountain Baseball for
and several team
managers also appeared in
order to dispute his claim, and
in turn stated that he constantly
harag@ged the children who were
alway’s under adult supervision.
A heated discussion followed
untilgthe complaintant left the
A letter was received from
Dave Phillips, a township resi-
dent, protesting the placing of
the proposed two mill library
tax on the ballot because ade-
quate information had not been
received as to the library oper-
ation. He stated he felt that any
municipality assessed should
have equal representation by
population on the library board;
that there should be better
school services provided and
that any new library building
erected should be in a more
central location and provide
adequate parking.
One woman in the audience at
the meeting spoke up agreeing
with the letter and seconded Mr.
Phillip’s proposal that the town-
ship reconsider putting the
library tax on the ballot.
Chairman E. W. Hall replied
that the fairest way of finding
out how all the people feel is by
putting the proposal on the
ballot.
The police report for the
month showed the cruiser
traveled 2,959 miles in 18 days,
the increase being due to the 24
hour coverage, and 220 miscel-
laneous calls were made. A
settlement has been received in
the amount of $2,515 for the 1970
police cruiser that was
destroyed last month in an
automobile accident. The total
sum was received from salvage
town$iip meeting. 3 and an insurance claim.
highway takes
80 year home
“Progress!” A new three lane highway will
stretch across the miles between the Luzerne-
Dallas Highway and West Wyoming. It will be
straight-and smooth-and sidewalks will be installed
in the lower section near Rt. 309. But—progress
also means destruction. A picturesque 80 year old
home, nestled among dozens of trees on Carverton
Road, will have to go. The Albert Turner family
who resides in the home, the former Dana home-
stead, is just one of approximately 30 families
along Carverton Road, Trucksville, whose homes
are being condemned.
The residents received letters from the State
Dep®ctment of Highways, stating that appraisers
will be in the area within two weeks to inspect prop-
erties and evaluate homes. Many will lose their
homes, others their front yards, and still others
‘their businesses.
Da Turner showed a POST reporter over the
~ fiveXicres on which the five bedroom home is situ-
1
ated. A small stream runs through the property.
The Turners have figured from maps of the
proposed road that it will go straight through their
dining room, chopping off the 30 foot living room,
complete with fireplace. The house and four of the
five acres must go. Left after the stream is
straightened will be a ‘‘straight strip not big
enough for a doghouse,” according to Bette Turner.
Ironically this is the second time the Turners
have lost a home through state condemnation.
Seven years ago they were forced to abandon an-
other house when Frances Slocum State Park was
constructed. Their home then was the old Conklin
estate on Pony Farm Poad.
The Turners and their four children moved to
this area from Philadelphia 11 years ago “to get out
into Yne country,” said Mrs. Turner, “but now the
country is being replaced by city roads.”
They are dubious that with the present infla-
tionary costs they will be able to find a comparable
homg. All up and down Carverton Road, other
po 1 homeowners are having similar feelings
now that the official letters signifying the start of
the project have been received.

It was recommended that a
letter be sent to the Planning

mending that beauty parlors be
included as home occupations in
R-1 and R-2 residential areas.
Approval was given for the
Planning and Zoning Board and
the Board of Appeals to engage
Solicitor Jones for legal advice
at their meetings.
The supervisors requested the
solicitor to investigate the legal
basis for eliminating eyesores
in the township for the general
‘health and welfare of the area.
Particularly cited as examples
were unoccuppied homes and
overgrown lots. A report will be
given by the solicitor at the next
supervisors meeting.
police investigate
early a.m. calls
Police in Kingston Township
responded to two separate calls
on Carverton Road, Trucks-
ville, in the early hours of the
morning, July 10. The first
incident was a report by neigh-
bors of Mrs. Corinne Jones, 118
Carverton Road, that she was
being harassed by a group of
teenagers.
Patrolman John Appel in-
vestigated the report and then
searched Carverton Road and
the: area around the Frances
Slocum State Park. He was
assisted: by Dallas Town-
ship Patrolman Douglas
Lamoreaux and police from
Franklin Township. They found
no evidence, police report, nor
did they sight any teenagers.
At 3:30 a.m. a vehicle travel-
ing west on Carverton Road hit
the guard rail at Pole B26 and
went over the bank into the yard
surrounding the Hess residence.
The driver, John R. Giza, 25
Elm St., Pylmouth, by his own
statement fell asleep while
driving. He will be charged with
reckless driving by the police.
His badly damaged vehicle was
towed to the Sunoco Station. The
accident was also investigated
by Patrolman Appel, Kingston
Township.
THE DALLAS POST, JULY 16, 1970
This 80 year old home has to go, as do many others along Car-
verton Road, Trucksville, when construction begins soon on the
new three lane highway which will extend from Rt. 309 to West
Wyoming. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Turner and family have resided
in the home for about seven years. X
$6,873 bid awarded
for traffic light
at 309 intersection
The bid for installation of a
traffic light at the intersection
of Route 309, East Center Hill
Road, and Hildebrandt Road,
was awarded at the Dallas
Township Supervisors meeting
last week. The $6,873.21 bid
went to the Inter state Safety
Service Company. It was also
recommended that warning
signs stating ‘‘Traffic Signal
Ahead” be placed north of the
intersection on Route 309.
Representatives of the Troup
Fund, Inc., appeared at the
meeting to seek approval of
slight changes in the master
plan of the roads they plan to
construct on the former New-
berry Estate where they are
building a housing develop-
ment. A secondary entrance is
planned through Davenport
Street, which will be used pri-
marily as a service entrance.
Architect Peter Bohlin pre-
sented a map of the proposed
development and Richard
Powell, engineer, discussed
plans for meeting township road
requirements. The Troup Fund
agreed to abide by all specifi-
cations as to base, drainage
berms and right-of-ways. The

Sunset buys
Lake property
for beach
The Sunset Beach Associ-
ation, determined to remove
another eyesore from the en-
trance to Harveys Lake, re-
cently purchased from Francis
Ambrose, the property across
from Joe’s Grotto at Sunset.
The building which is now
situated on the property, known
as Gonda’s Stand, famous for its
corn on the cob and hoagies, will
be razed by members of the
Beach Association. According
to Fred Kohl, president of the
association, the land will then
be cleared and incorporated
with two lots already owned by
the group. This section of beach
is private but membership is
open to anyone for a small
annual fee which helps with the
maintenance of the property.
