Councilman Harold Brobst was of a minority opinion that “they have their own meetings to attend’’ and that it would be an ‘‘imposition’’ for them, to have to attend council meetings as well. He expressed faith in their judgement, pointing out Secretary Garris will write a letter to the state, expressing council dissatisfaction over receiving no state help on borough roads this! year. Dallas Borough Council’s road committee will look into covering two open catch basins, four or five feet deep, on High- land Boulevard. A resident of that area had pointed out to possibly fall down one of the holes and not be able to get out. A bid was accepted for water- proofing the borough building. Bids are being sought for putting aluminum siding on the building, as well. Council passed a motion to forward to their road supervisor the decision on the purchase of Dallas Township’s old power- grater. William Berti reported that the Township is getting a new one and will sell their old one to the borough for $200. It “almost a gift” according to program of Federal insurance against catastrophic disasters. In view of the nationwide importance of the proposed legislation, and in response to Gov. Milton Shapp’s invitation, the governors of 12 states are sending their representatives. States included are Alabama, Minnesota, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio and Nebraska. levels taking part. Included will be Pennsylvania's fiery In- surance Commissioner, Dr. Herbert S. Denenberg, who will deliver the main address of the morning sessions. After the luncheon, the premiere showing of a recovery-orientated film will be held. All signs point to a good attendance and an interesting and informative affair is an- ticipated. . i Mr. Berti, who also reported . that they work gratis. Mr. Council also moved to have ) ; : C = Thomas said, following Mr. their engineer, Leo Corbett, that the road sweeper is being omp aint Brought Against Brobst’s comments, “I think 100k the road over, so that fixed. It broke down, shortly our men (Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Casner) would come to a private meeting.” It had been pointed out that the DAMA representatives didn’t feel they could publically speak for the whole Authority. Bob Brown asked the council secretary to prepare an appli- cation that would have the state highways department look into the intersection-problem at the juncture of Routes 309 and 415, near Elby’s Restaurant, in the hope that state monies might be designated necessary to remedy the situation. This came following the request of borough resident, Jan Brady, that something be done about the intersection. She pointed out that the state will not use flood monies to contribute anything toward the approximately $12,000 needed to install a traffic light system at the intersection. Jacob Kassab, Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation had written a letter refusing the flood-money request, finding no | council can formally accept it. Formal acceptance would allow the borough to undertake the large-scale work that needs to be done to fix Highland Boule- vard. Solicitor Charles Lemmond will look into the legalities of the borough enforcing fire lanes at the area shopping centers. Shopping centers are private property, open to the public. This was decided following a recommendation of the mayor. He was prompted to this by last Monday night’s explosion at the Village Shopping Center. He expressed amazement over how the fire engine had gotten past the haphazardly parked cars. Chief Ray Titus reported that Weiss Market had been talked to about leaving the driveway open. They had told him that they ‘didn’t want to incon- venience their customers.’’ The Wyoming Valley Mall keeps a wide fire lane open at all times, with = closely-placed ‘‘no parking’’ signs on the buildings, after the start of the new street- cleaning season, after cleaning only eight streets. President Thomas recom- mended that the borough’s new recreational park facility have their phones hooked up and the lights turned on ‘‘in case of an accident’ there. He also pointed out that Wilkes and King’s College tennis players, who were allowed to use the facility for collegiate matches because the flood destroyed their courts, are also using the borough courts for practice. He reported that he has asked that they relinquish the courts when borough residents want to use them. Think A little There is no strength .in un- belief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve. Robert J. Culp, zoning officer of Jackson Township, has brought about a legal complaint against John Banks, president of American Asphalt Company of Shavertown, RD 5. A certified letter from the office of Dallas magistrate Leonard Harvey has informed Mr. Banks that he is held, by zoning officer Culp, to be in violation of a Jackson Township zoning ordinance. The complaint claims that ‘on or about April 2, 1973 and divers’’ John Banks and his ‘servants, agents and em- ployees under his supervision and control’’ have ‘‘failed to fence for the safety of the public” an ‘‘excavation drop- off.” The complaint further claims that the zoning ordi- nance necessitates a ‘‘woven fence at least six feet in height around the face of a quarry that has a drop-off of more than two feet within two hundred feet of such quarry.” A hearing will be held in magistrate Harvey’s chambers May 3, at 7: 30 p.m. Please Follow Smokey’s ABC's ALWAYS hold matches till cold BE sure to drown all fires CAREFUL to crush all smokes FRANK TOWNEND for JUL Extensive Legal Experience Graduate of Harvard Law School, practicing attorney in Luzern dP County since 1938, Solicitor for Dallas Township since 1952, five years as Law Officer, 28th Division General Court, Broad Interest in Community Has served as chairman of United: Fund Campaign, director of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital and Blue Cross, trustee of Old Ladies Home, member of American Legion, V.F.W., Kiwanis, Proven Decision-Making Ability Commanding Office of 109th Field Artillery Battalion, Brigadier General, 28th Division, Director of Luzerne County Civil Defense.
