judge to get
H.L. petition
A petition signed last Sep-
tember by 344 residents of
Harveys Lake Borough ex-
pressing dismay over delays in
construction of a. municipal
sewer system will be forwarded
to Judge Donald O‘Malley as a
result of action taken by Har-
veys Lake Borough Council last
Thursday night.
Judge O‘Malley is presently
considering a suit filed by five
Harveys Lake taxpayers which
would enjoin borough council
from lending $100,000 to the
community’s general municipal
authority.
The motion to send the
petition to Judge O‘Malley was
made by Council President
Francis Fisher, who suggested
that the petition might indicate
to the judge that not all Harveys
Lake residents favor continued
delay in getting the sewer
. project off the drawing board.
Councilman William Hoblak
objected to the propriety of the
move. “Council has no way of
determining the legality of the
signatures of the petitioners,”
he insisted. Moreover, he stated
that he ‘‘would not want to be in
any position to try to sway one
of the judges of the Luzerne
County Court as to how his
decision should come out.”
The vote found Mr. Hoblak
outnumbered five to one, with
Councilmen William Sherksnas,
Arthur Gosart, David Brice.
Thomas Cadwalder, and Fisher
voting to forward the petition tc
Judge O‘Malley. Councilmar
Carl Swanson was absent.
Calvin McHose was again de-
signated earned income tax and
amusement tax collector for the
borough. His collection fee of 5
percent on earned income taxes
was questioned by Thomas Cad-
walader, who asked whether or
not Mr. McHose would consider
reducing his fee to $4 “like
- Berkhimers.”
“Absolutely not,”’ Mr.
‘McHose answered sharply.
. joined by Mr.
“I’m not making a penny on it
as it is; this is my home com-
munity and I'll do it to help out,
but if you've found someone
who can do it for less, go
ahead—you’re not going to hurt
my feelings.” :
Mr. Cadwalader voted
against naming Mr. McHose
borough tax collector; he was
Hoblak, who
qualified his negative vote by
suggesting that a central
agency be employed to collect
the earned income tax if it could
be obtained for a lower per-
centage than Mr. McHose
charges.
Skating areas on Harveys
Lake at Sandy Beach, Alderson,
Sunset, and two other locations
to be designated will be cleared
of snow by borough equipment
following a suggestion to that
effect by Mayor William Con-
nolly.
Mr. Hoblak expressed initial
disapproval of the plan because
of “danger to equipment and
manpower.’’ He hastened to add
that he has ‘nothing against
setting up recreation for
youngsters in this community,”
and after assurance by Mr.
Cadwalader that insurance
coverage for both borough
employes and equipment would
be obtained, he voted with the
rest of council to provide the
skating areas.
Compensation for borough
employes was set by council at
previously determined rates.
Secretary John Stenger will re-
ceive $2,000 annually; solicitor
Donald McFadden, $300 an-
nually; Police Chief Walbridge
Leinthall, $6,121; Officer Wil-
liams, $5,520; special police, $2
per hour; Roadmaster William
Casterline, $2.50 per hour; and
borough laborers, $2 per hour.
Councilman Price recom-
mended that council consider
hiring a third full time police-
man as special police fees have
increased tremendously.

Girl Scouts
Girl Scout Troop 638, Harveys
Lake, completed the Troop
Dramatics badge Dec. 15 by
presenting a play, ‘Pied Piper:
of Healthy Town” to Brownie
Troop 623. During December we
worked on Christmas crafts and
sold Girl Scout calendars. Our
Christmas caroling and party
had to be cancelled because of a
heavy snow storm.
In January we planned for our
Juliette Low Ingathering and
worked with clay craft.
For four weeks our troop will
be divided into grades, with the
fourth graders working on Toy-
maker badge with Rose Salan-
sky; fifth graders, Prints badge
with Marjorie Garinger; and
sixth graders, My Community
badge with Joanne Davidson.
Plans were made for a Court
cof Honor Feb. 10 and for a
| Thinking Day activity Feb. 20.
During this month orders were
| taken for Girl Scout cookies,
' with the hope that the troop can
sell enough each (50 boxes) to
earn two free days at camp in
June.
As a service to citizens of our
community, we will distribute
information on ways that indi-
viduals can help clean up the
environment.

wrangling continues
over Harveys Lake sewers
Arguments over which
method of sewage treatment
would be most advisable for
Harveys Lake Borough con-
tinued at the regular meeting of
the Harveys Lake Municipal
Authority last Thursday night.
The issue—whether Harveys
Lake should become a customer
of the Dallas Area Municipal
Authority or whether it should
build its own sewage
treatment facility—has been a
source of contention since the
authority was established one
year ago.
In the absence of Alfred J.
Muensch, secretary-treasurer
of the engineering firm of Glace
and Glace Inc., and consultant
to the Harveys Lake project,
little that was new was in-
troduced at the meeting. The
Assistant Secretary of the
Municipal Authority, Ray
Roushey, did express the hope
that the authority would ‘have
the answers’’ as to which |
method of sewage treatment |
would be most feasible by its
March 4 meeting.
Throughout the meeting,
authority members sought to
payers that no decision has yet
been made as to which method
of sewage treatment will be
implemented. Said Mr.
Roushey : ‘“We couldn’t possibly
know which way would be best
until we get the figures from our
report.”
Authority members present
at the meeting were Chairman
Walter Osko, Secretary William
Borton, Solicitor Donald Mec-
Fadden, William Gunster and
Mr. Roushey. Truman Nagle,
treasurer, was absent.
Solicitor McFadden reported
that the appeal of a suit brought
against borough council and the
municipal authority by Harveys
Lake residents Raymond Laux
and Thomas Cosgrove to .
prohibit council from loaning
the authority $4,400 will be
heard in Harrisburg March 1
before the newly established
Arguments Court. Luzerne
| County Judge Richard L.
' Bigelow ruled against the
complainants in October
whereupon they promptly
carried their appeal to the
higher court.
Mr. McFadden also reported
assure several skeptical tax- that court testimony in a suit .

Shortly before the meeting
.was adjourned, Thomas Cos-

and called for the resignation of
Mr. Osko. “If you do not re-

ed, “as a last resort, possibly
the taxpayers should institute
actions to remove you.”
“Thanks for your con-
fidence,”” Mr. Osko replied
curtly as he adjourned the
meeting.
