A covered walkway between the Children’s Annex and main Lib- rary building will provide addi- tional display space. All in all, the new facilities add up to an important contri- bution not only to the Library but to the entire Back Mountain community—and Clarke Bitt- ner is not alone in expressing gratitude to John and Lee. “I think we’re all tremen- dously indebted to these two guys,” Clarke said recently. “They’ve put in countless hours on this project, and it’s not over yet! They're continuing to work over there not only on the build- ings, but on the allied activities at the grounds. “Idon’t think anyone has-ever spent more time in one year on the Auction than these two fel- lows have on this one—they’re just terrific!” the Chairman en- thused. (continued from PAGE ONE) John and Lee, Dallas resi- dents both, typically shrug off such lavish praise with embar- rassed laughs. The architect and structural engineer are em- ployed by the firm of Lacy, Atherton and Davis in Wilkes- Barre and seem to regard their considerable efforts on behalf of the Auction in a very matter-of- fact way.

John, who lives on Westmin- ster Drive with his wife Marilyn and two children, is a graduate of Penn State’s School of Archi- tecture and a native Scranton- ian. In addition to his responsi- bilities at Lacy, Atherton and Davis, he is teaching in a fore- man’s program in Plains Town- ship. Lee, too, is an instructor in this program.

Let the existing water companies be studied for service, financial status, sources of water, the number of peoples, and projection of what the future might be. The study should be in-depth, com- prehensive and factual, and have a number of alternate proposals.” In answer to a query from a Dallas Township resident, Rep. O’Connell declared he was opposed to'H.B. 41 because he thought it was bad legislation for the entire state. When the bill was passed in the House, he said, he voted against it. He was accused of not alerting his constituents to H.B. 41, but replied that he has made every attempt to keep constituents informed, but that there are usually 100 bills a day before the House. “I can not disseminate to all peoples the information on these bills. The Democratic committee should have’ called public meetings on such im- portant bills as H.B. 41,” Rep. O’Connell stated. “I keep my constituents informed as best I can.” The latter statement met with prolonged applause from many in the audience. Mr. Chillius, Gilbert Associates representative, told an inquiring resident that his firm was brought into the picture three years ago when Luzerne County Planning Com- mission asked them to do a sewer and water study and in order to save money decided to have one study done on a county-wide basis. A ten-year plan was to be conducted and submitted to the state, he said, adding that residents should keep in mind the Back Mountain Area is one of seven community areas to be studied. ‘We have submitted a ‘first final’ only, and have not arrived at making final recommenda- tions, which are still in draft,” the engineer stated. Several times questions were raised about why the Pennsyl- Meeting (continued from PAGE ONE) vania Public Utilities Commis- sion doesn’t force water com- panies to update their water transmission systems. Mr. Heiselberg said he would hope the PUC would push water companies. However, Sen. Wood stated, ‘“‘In my humble opinion, PUC is an instrument of the utilities and not of the people . . . . PUC insists it is there to set rates and it pays little or no attention to the people.” The senator em- phasized that sooner or later the whole northeastern Pennsyl- vania ‘‘will have to do some- thing about water.” At times during the lengthy question-and-answer session, Roberty Bearly, interim president of Back Mountain United Taxpayers Association, took the unruly audience to task for not letting speakers finish their statements. When President Bearly wanted to proceed with the business agenda, many called out they still had more questions. Mrs. M. Gray, president of Back Mountain Senior Citizens Club, was recognized. She stated she objected to con- tinuing the questioning on an individual basis. ‘If we are to have clean water, the study for the area should be continued,” said Mrs. Gray, who went on to say that she and other senior citizens had made sacrifices to help pay for the sewer system, but stressed that the sewer system was needed. “We will need water,” she added. Mr. Bearly announced an open meeting will be held July 13. It was noted the associa- tion’s officers will decide at a board meeting whether to invite water companies’ represen- tatives to the open meeting.
