Belles and is charged with in- vestigating possible ways to shorten the length of the school day in Lake-Lehman. Committee members from the education association in- clude John Oliver, Martha Smith and Joseph Solomon. School Directors Richard Ide and Kenneth Williams have been named to serve on the committee as representatives of the school board. John Gregorski, architect for the firm of Lacy. Atherton and Davis, reported that Dec. 14 has been slated as the beginning date for construction of the dis- trict’s new elementary school. “We expect to receive bids on Nov. 9, with bond bids due Nov. 26,” Mr. Gregorski explained. “After that, we are hopeful of the Dept. of Education’s appro- val of both construction and bond bids by Dec. 7—and we think this is a real viable sched- ule wlan live with.” The architect noted that the final drawings contained only two or three minor changes— mostly in kitchen equipment from preliminary drawings which were displayed several months ago. Five bus drivers for the dis- trict appeared at the meeting to complain about what they term- ed ‘‘insufficient wages’ for Paul Davies, spokesman for the drivers, ob- served that bus drivers have “time-consuming jobs—they’'ve got to warm up the buses on cold mornings, put on chains, as well as act as nurse-maid, father and Mr. Davies argued that as professional drivers, he and his all regular runs. Bus drivers are currently paid on a per mile scale ay, The question of increased wages for the drivers was refer- red to a committee, and the school bus operators were to meet this past Monday night with members of the transpor- tation committee. The directors approved a re- quest from the superintendent the purchase of 10 electric type- writers and a modern off-set machine which is being pur- chased with funds from the Vo- cational Education Act of 1968 totalling $5,350. The project was initiated to up-date business machines in the high school’s commercial department. The names of four persons were added to the list of avail- able substitute teachers. They include: Anna Marie Bluhm of Tunkhannock; Linda L. Tedrow of ‘Forty Fort; Ginny Macarty of West Nanticoke and Beverly A. Murphy of Tunkhannock. ~ Chosen to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of in- D. Myers was Russell K. Owens of Plymouth. Mr. Owens will graduate Dec. 21 from Millers- ville State College and will be- gin work at Lake-Lehman High School Jan. 2, 1974. Pay increases for non-profes- sional employees were unani- mously approved by the direc- tors, with the effective date of the increase set for Oct. 29. Cafeteria workers presently re- ceive $1.90 and secretarial staff members receive $2 per hour. (continued from PAGE ONE) The police report given at the Oct. 9 meeting indicated that the two township cruisers tra- velled 6,436 miles during Sept- ember; 417 miscellaneous calls were answered, and 59 arrests were made. Of the 59 arrests, 57 were for parking violations. John Dana, zoning officer re- ported that he had issued per- mits for $152,000 in construction during the last month. The Midway Manor Taxpay- ers Association wrote to the board advising them that they had sent a letter to the zoning board requesting the zoning or- dinance permitting trailer parks in the township be res- cinded. The matter will be tabled until a survey of the township by Wilbur Smith is completed. The survey is ex- pected to begin Oct. 15 or Oct. 22 and to continue for from three to six months. Public meetings will be held during this period tc inform residents what is being done. A letter from the Zoning Hearing Board informed the supervisors that the requests of Michael Kester to establish a permanent trailer park, and from Lewis Williams to place a mobile home in the township, had been denied. Secretary Michael Stanley advised the board that he had requested price quotes for 50 metal street signs, and was still waiting for one of the replies. Robert Chamberlain, road- master, reported that all paving of streets and gutters had been completed. He also stated that township trucks will pick up leaves during the weeks of Nov. 5 and Nov. 17, but they will not take tires or garbage. Police Chief Paul Sabol re- quested the use of special police in cruisers from 8 p.m. Sunday evenings until 4 a.m. Monday morning. The board granted the request. Residents from Sickler Road, Carverton, attended the Octo- ber meeting and presented a petition to have street lights in- stalled. The secretary was in- structed to have the electric company make a survey of the area. The board approved a request from the Governor’s Justice Commission for $100 per man per year fee for training 'ses- sions. (continued from PAGE ONE) In submitting his reply to two of the taxpayers’ questions, Mr. Banks said that he had not ask- ed for a zoning variance for a storage area for crushed rock on the adjoining Habblett pro- perty because he did not plan any blasts in that area. He add- ed that he would not move his perty unless the Crumleys re- fused to renew his lease on their property or to sell that property to American Asphalt. One tax- payer indicated that the ori- ginal Lance deed for the pro- perty stipulated that there could be no manufacturing on the land. Concerning the taxpayers’ complaint about the early start- ing times of the plant, Mr. Banks explained that his is a seasonal business and said that his operation time must vary with the season. He said that his firm is trying to reduce the noise at the plant and admitted that the asphalt operation sometimes begins operation as early as 5:30 a.m. At one point during the meet- ing, Mr. Banks expressed dis- pleasure over the content of a letter the taxpayers wrote to Luzerne Court of Common Pleas Judge Arthur Dalessan- dro. Mr. Banks said that he thought that he was being har- rassed, and suggested that be- cause of the contents of the let: ter, he might not honor his con- in the paving of Sutton Road. He said that the previous night dur- ing a supervisors meeting a dis- cussion had arisen during which John Filip of the taxpayers association had said the road should be paved in warm weather. When asked if he was serious about not honoring the contract with supervisors, Mr. Banks answered in the affirma- tive. The state has mandated that paving be completed be- tween Oct. 15 and 31, according to taxpayers, depending on the ground temperature. After Mr. Banks’ departure from the meeting, members of the taxpayers agreed not to accept his answer on the matter of the berm along Huntsville Road. The group agreed that the matter, in their view, was a violation of the zoning or- dinance, and therefore should be turned over to the zoning of- ficer for enforcement. Taxpayers agreed to accept Mr. Banks’ plan for restoring the Habblett property and plac- ing it under the Federal Soil Conservation Service. In the matter of a requested 200-foot set back from the pro- perty line, the matter was tabled for further discussion. Regarding the deposits of sludge on the Habblett pro- perty, taxpayers agreed that they would accept Mr. Banks’ proposal provided that American Asphalt would fur- nish a topographical plan of the deposits and details about the final grade levels, submitted in writing to the group and to the township supervisors. They agreed that a surety bond should bind the implementation of the plan. The next meeting of the tax- payers association with repre- sentatives of American Asphalt is scheduled Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the fire hall. Lake Sewers (continued from PAGE ONE) A week before Mr. Hoblak quoted from the report, he claimed, in an interview with another newspaper, that the HLMA has given false informa- tion to the borough citizenry for political reasons. Mr. Hoblak was in attendance at’ the bid opening. as were interested contractors, council members Donald Hanson, Fred Merrill and Raymond Laux; former council president, Thomas Cadwalader; HLMA solicitor Donald D. McFadden and bond counsel David Pryor HLMA officers, chairman Gun- ster, secretary Joseph Schap- pert, vice chairman George Alles, treasurer Andrew Strut- ko; and Glace and Glace repre- sentatives. Supervisors (continued from PAGE ONE) Work on the Smith’s Pond Road has now been completed, and American Asphalt was paid $12,242.00 for that work. In addition, the road crew was paid $652 for the work in Sept- ember; $1,475.00 was paid to American Asphalt for mater- ials, and $696.00 to Forest Habb- lett for rental of equipment. Harold Bertram was questioned as to when Sutton Road would be paved, since if has been torn up for over a month with signs posted, “Travel at your own risk”. He answered that the work is under state contract with American Asphalt and should be done be- tween Oct. 15 and 31, depending on the weather. GABRIEL SHOCK ABSORBERS Never lie “down on the job!
