passed by the Dallas Township
Board of Supervisors at their
Feb. 1st meeting.

Solicitor Frank Townend
noted the ordinance was
enacted under the authority of
Section 702 of Article, VII of the
Second Class Township Code, as
amended.
Board Chairman Phillip
; Walter, who is also chairman of
the Back Mountain Police Com-
mission, sought advice from
Solicitor Townend on’ whether
an ordinance was needed to
allow interested pereans to see
two Boy

official accident reports, and if
charges could be made for extra
