The youth was taken by
Dallas Community Ambulance

tal, where he was admitted for
treatment.
Chief of Police Frank Lange,
who investigated, reported the

schedule.
Mr. Morris stated that plant
completion is scheduled for
March 15, 1972—exactly one
year since construction began
March 15, 1971. Praising the
workers, Mr. Morris said he has
received 100 percent coopera-
tion from them and the quality
of work is excellent, ‘‘as good as
you can get anywhere.”
‘This is why we were able to
recover the two weeks lost
during the strike, ” he ex-
plained.
The contractor, Tri-County
Constructors, which employs
about 25 men on the job, has
completed the chlorine contact
tank 99 percent; control
building, 95 percent on heavy
concrete structure and 50
percent structural steel on first
floor; digester tanks, com-
pletely excavated and ap-
proximately 30 percent of
concrete poured; thickener
tank, concrete 100 percent; bar
screen building, foundation
concrete work 90 percent.
What poses the most serious
construction problem? Mr.
Morris said the soil at the
plant’s location on old Route 309
‘gives us more heartbreaks
than anything else.”” The ex-
perienced construction over-
seer continued, “Soil at the foot
of the slope keeps sliding, as it is
composed of sand and silt—
about 40 feet deep.”
Also there are a number of
natural springs in the area,
some of which the workers have
piped underground to empty
into Tobys Creek. Others keep
portions of the plant-site soil
wet at all times.
However, these problems are
being solved and have not been
allowed to interfere per-
manently with construction
work. :
The secondary treatment
facility will serve Dallas Town-
ship, Kingston Township and
Dallas Borough, with a
possibility of Harveys Lake
Borough tieing in to the system.
It has capacity to handle 2.2
million gallons of sewage per
day, with purification of sewage
done by chemical and biological
means.
Gross Fined
For Speeding
William F. Gross of 100
Franklin Ave., Dallas, was
fined $10 plus $10 costs following
a hearing before District
Magistrate Frederick W. An-
derson July 2 on a charge of
speeding brought by State
Trooper John Yencha;
Wyoming Barracks.
Gross pleaded not guilty but
declined to cross-examine
Trooper Yencha or offer
testimony in his own behalf. He
did indicate, however, that he
would appeal Magistrate An-
derson’s’ decision.
The speeding charge resulted
from a radar check April 15
when a car driven by the
defendant was clocked
traveling 60 m.p.h. on Route 309
approximately nine tenths of a
mile south of Center Street in
Kingston Township. The trooper
contends that the highway is a
designated 50 m.p.h. zone.

GSA Reviews Final Plans
For New PSU Building
Final plans for the classroom-
laboratory building to be
constructed on the Wilkes-
Barre Campus of The Penn-
sylvania State University were
discussed Tuesday at an initial
meeting with members of the
General State Authority.
The General State Authority
has announced the award of
contracts totaling $991,346 for
the classroom-laboratory
building on the Wilkes-Barre
Campus at Lehman.
“Completion of the building
by- Sept. 1972 will provide us -
with excellent facilities for
expansion of our much needed
courses in the sciences,”
George W. Bierly, director of
the Campus, said today.
The building, with two levels,
will have an organic chemistry
laboratory with preparation
room and four special study
areas; a physics laboratory
with a preparation room and
dark room; and a biology
laboratory, also with a prepara-
tion area, sterile room, and
growth chamber. There also
will be three animal rooms.
Also in the building will be a
physics lecture hall, a computer
laboratory, a language lab-
oratory, a seminar-conference
room, three classrooms, a large
lecture hall with seats for 150
students; and faculty offices.
Architects for the building are
Burns and Loewe, of Scranton.
