SLACKS worsteds, double Page 3 Residents of Ridge Street, Fernbrook have presented the Dallas Township Board of Supervisors with a petition objecting to the establishment of a State road maintenance center on Demunds Road. The petition was signed by 14 homeowners. The property and building referred to, is owned by Clifford Parker, and was formerly used for a fuel dil business. It has been vacant for some time. The supervisors said they knew nothing about the State taking over the location until someone had called to object. Chairman Phillip Walter stated at the regular board meeting Tuesday night, that the property is privately owned and is zoned Bl for business use. Therefore it could he utilized by the State or anyone else who wishes to rent it from Mr. fe mmaav yTAAVL OD. Parker. Fred Lamoreaux, roadmaster, said that the road maintenance center is located in Courtdale and services the Back Mountain during snow and ice storms. He also said that it is more favorable to have the center located in the Back Mountain, expressing the need for keeping the roads cleared and safe for school buses during bad weather. The irate residents objected on the basis of middle-of-the- night noise, heavy truck traffic, and piles of salt and cinders in full view of their homes. All voiced a desire to file a formal complaint with someone, but they didn’t know with whom. Township solicitor Frank Townend, noted that part of the property was zoned S1 (su- burban). This means it could not be used for commercial purposes, he said. Mr. Townend A prima facie case was found Sept. 5, against James Joseph Flood, 38, of the Belfonta Apart- ments, Scranton, by Dallas magistrate Leonard Harvey. The charge that Mr. Flood solicited Allen Morrow, Pole 160, Harveys Lake, for $25,000 if he, Mr. Flood, would kill John Krasner, also of Harveys Lake, will go before the grand jury. Mr. Morrow and Mr. Krasner are fierce competitors for the adult materials trade in Penn- sylvania, New York and New Jersey. After being approached by Mr. Flood, Mr. Morrow notified the authorities and filed *15 knits, cotton velvets. the complaint with magistrate Harvey. State Police of the Wyoming barracks and Harveys Lake Borough police chief Walbridge Lienthall arrested Mr. Flood, who they had been observing, when, at their advice, Mr. Morrow handed over a large sum of money to him. Mr. Flood’s plea had been “not guilty.” Bail of $25,000 was continued. Mr. Flood also faces a theft by extortion charge, through district magistrate Carmen Maffei, of Exeter. *16 *17 The $110 kind. master charge THE INTERBANK CARD 85 Your | BANKAMERICARD suggested that Glenn Howell, township secretary, write a letter to Mr. Parker advising him about the zoning, and requesting information about the leasing of the property. Mr. Lamoreaux reminded those present that the State has found it difficult to obtain a place for their road department because people object to the trucks, etc. “It has to go somewhere because it is badly needed,” he said. The residents agreed that it is needed, but suggested that it be put where there are no homes. A request had been made for a stop sign to be placed at the intersection of Ridge and Fern Streets in Fernbrook. The supervisors agreed, and said it will be set up in the very near future. Andrew Race and Walter Weir, school crossing guards, requested a 50 cent an hour wage increase. They were advised to submit the request to the school board first. If the school board agrees, the super- visors said, they will go along with the increase. The Dallas Township supervisors split the cost of school crossing guard salaries. Solicitor Townend suggested that the board pass an amend- ment to the original police pension fund resolution, con- cerning death : benefits for policemen who could not obtain insurance. The resolution to the premium will be invested annually, and when the policeman dies, the:'amount plus the interest will be paid to the deceased officer’s wife or estate. The resolution was passed unanimously. M., Thurs. nites ’til 9. rg d y TN Si ROE . ra
