(continued from PAGE ONE) Mr. Swanson emphasized, however, that the engineer noted the specifications lacked plans for the hookup of the sys- tem to DAMA, basins, and other things necessary for the sys- tem. As a result, Mr. Swanson added, the engineer found it im- possible “to make a meaningful decision on the HLMA plans.” He expressed the hope that the meeting with HLMA repre- sentatives will be ‘‘meaning- ful’. Jack McManus, of Cook Street, Harveys Lake, confront- ed council over their decision of last month to discontinue main- tenance of his road because it is privately-owned. He was not satisfied with Atty. Kasper’s re- sponse that he is attempting to get borough acquisition of the road. Referring to past pro- blems he has had with the borough over the road, Mr. McManus said it might take a year, and he is ‘‘looking for a winter of being snowed in this year because you don’t consider it a borough road.” Mr. McManus added that he had located the owner of the property who gave his assur- ance that he would turn the road over to the borough if approach- ed. When Mr. Kasper said he had been on vacation for two weeks, Mr. McManus question- ed, ‘Have you been on vacation for four years?”, referring to the past problems he has had with the road. Atty. Kasper promised to have the title searched and make a report at the next meet- ing. When Mr. McManus told him he could supply the name of the owner, exchanges became heated and Mr. Swanson rapped for order. Under unfinished business, Mr. Merrill moved that the re- signation of council chairman Thomas Cadwalader be accept- ed. The vote was unanimous. Two months ago a move to accept the resignation died for lack of a second. On the suggestion of Arden Llewellyn, Mr. Wintersteen, as head of the recreation com- mittee, said he will look into the possibility of creating a bike path around the lake. State funds will be a necessity, coun- cil agreed. Heavy bike traffic at the lake this summer and a re- cent accident were given as reasons for the project. : Atty.

Lake Township has charged that $5,847.32 were erroneously transferred from the township to the borough from the police pension fund, when the borough was being formed. The borough claims that the transfer was authorized and correct. Council decided they they will begin strictly applying the borough’s dock ordinances. Mr. Swanson said that ordinances are being ignored. Mr. Hoblak added that people often submit correct building permit appli- cations, but then proceed to build something else, not within the ordinance provisions. He suggested that the mayor strict- ly enforce the violations. The mayor promised that that would be done. A list of burned out or decay- ing homes and boat houses were made by council and the mayor, who instructed the solicitor to have owners remedy the ‘‘un healthy and dangerous situa- tions.” Mr. Kasper noted that he will begin his actions by sending certified letters to the owners, asking that they com- ply with the borough’s wishes.

The 1974 Trident Troubles between the American Asphalt and Paving Company, Chase, and the Jackson Township Resident ahead Aug. 9, when members of the association stopped a sched- uled company blast by remain- ing in the area of the blast all day. Judge Arthur D. Daless- andro has mandated a 30-day to iron out animosity between the groups. The 30-day period was initia- ted as a truce measure after John F. Banks, Dallas, and Bernard Banks, Trucksville, owners of American Asphalt, sought a court injunction to prevent the resident group from interfering with blasts. The men made their request the day after the resident-enforced blasting halt. The judge called together a conference of the Banks brothers and John Filip, president of the taxpayers group, and Gerald Bernstein, taxpayer treasurer. Also at- tending were two state mining officials and a representative of the United Steelworkers of America. Judge Dalessandro reworked his schedule to fit in the two- hour conference when he learned that dynamite remain- The Head Start program, new to the Back Mountain area, has been headed this summer by Eleanor Buda, assisted by Mary Ellen Brice and Irene Race. Forty three children, divided into three classes, attended the federally-funded program held mornings in the Westmoreland Elementary building in Trucks-’ ville. Although this was the first such program in the Dallas School District, there were 120 Head Start children in the county-level operation which: The Rev.

According to Mrs. Buda, the basic program is to ease the child’s social adjust- ment for the new school en- vironment. The Dallas School District provided free bus service and the Westmoreland building facilities. Sylvia Schome, R.N. was a fulltime nurse, Karen Lilly was social worker. All health needs were taken care of by the Noxen Health Center. Immunization shots, with parental consent, were ad- ministered by Dr. Rossi. The program included art sessions, physical education, playground activities and lunch. The children also had several picnics on the back lawn of the school.

He acquired an agree- ment from the taxpayer repre- sentatives that they would not interfere with the presently pre- pared blast, nor with the next two blasts, within a 30-day period. He suggested that the two groups get together as often as possible, with the idea of reaching agreement. The judge set up a future hearing at which he will be told of any progress made between the groups, and then will or will not issue the injunction re- quested by the Banks brothers. The night before the con- ference with the judge, the decided they would not continue their sit-in at the blast site. They stated that they were “being forced to withdraw from their own property’, citing American Asphalt intimidation that they would be killed or injured by a blast if they con- tinued picketing. Mr. Filip insists regularly that he is not trying to close down the asphalt operations. He says that his group is attempt- ing to protect their property and trying to get the problems caused by the operation ironed out. 3 The taxpayer group has a list of 14 proposals for improve- ments in the asphalt operation. Mr. Filip claims that all 14 were earlier read to Bernard Banks, who, he says, turned down every one. Mr. Filip reported that the judge, however, is considering the 14 points as the general arbitration consider- ations. The taxpayers report that there have not been enough settlements from Royal Globe Insurance and that those made have been too little. Mr. Filip finds American Asphalt respon- sible for the continuation of this problem with the insurance company. He said he feels that American Asphalt ‘‘could prevail on its insurance comp- any to meet insurance claims.” He adds that other claims, like the broken windows, are not worth the problem of suing the insurance company, but, he said, “we won’t put up with it either.” Asked whether he was happy with Judge Dalessandro’s decision, Bernard, Banks replied that he was. He said that what disappointed him was the fact that after, on the night of Aug. 8, he had talked with a group of 20 from the taxpayers group, and found some of them He gave the opinion that most of the people were receptive to his discussion of the plans he is initiating to improve conditions at the site. He said that the trouble is caused by the leaders ’ of the taxpayer group, whom he finds to be ‘on the radical side’. : Mr. Banks points out that no mention was made of the scheduled blast during the meeting, ‘‘yet they were up there, at the blast site, the next day.” Mr. Filip responded that neither did Mr. Banks bring up the subject of blasting. ‘He did faith; he had already scheduled the blast.”” Mr. Filip adds that he is not acting asa radical, but is responding to the majority vote of a recent taxpayers association meeting. About 30 people raised their hands at the Aug. 5 meeting, when they were asked if they wanted blasting stopped at American Asphalt, until settlements had been made to owners of damaged homes. The group finds Mr. Banks’ planned improvements “too little, too late”. Mr. Filip, who had been satis. fied that recent blasts had been less damaging than previous ones, said that he was very unhappy with Friday’s blast. He said that the blast, which came about = four hours after the meeting with the judge, “knocked down a ceiling in the Krumley home’ and frightened the neighbors. He claimed that the blast was preceeded by no warning. In the past, neighbors were warned, by printed note, of the date and time of sched- uled blasts. w Mr. Filip; referri®g to the zone laws which he feels the firm is violating, told the Post that “if Mr. Banks lives up to local zoning as well as he claims he ‘does to state and federal laws, we'd all be happy.” The first court-suggested meeting ‘between the asphalt firm and the taxpayers’ group was held Wednesday night.
