A long discussion was held on
the subject of tires for the police
cruiser. The original factory set
of tires lasted 9,800 miles, ac-
cording to Mr. Arnaud; a
replacement set which cost the
borough $25 each, lasted only
4,020 miles, and the last
replacement set of steel belted
(but not radial) tires lasted
9,695 miles.
“Council agreed the borough
must determine from other
municipalities which kind of
tires will give the best value.
One councilman noted Dallas
Township has had poor results
with radial tires. Mr. Arnaud
said. ‘We had better get
mov¥¥s on this because at this
rate 'we have less than three
months before we will be
needing new tires again.”
Mr. Arnaud said there might
be some street lights in the
borough which are not needed
or that are covered over by
trees. To save energy, he said,
and to save the borough money
on lighting, a survey should be
undertaken fo determine if all
street lights in the borough are
_ being used to the best advant-
age. ;
Councilman Ken Young
reported the recreation commi-
ttee’s expenses for lights, food,
and other materials totaled
$1,800 for the season. Wages
paid totaled $4,730 aud receipts
from sales of hoagies and soft
drinks came to $886.
Council president Jerry
Machell said, as far as he was
concerned, American Asphalt
Co. was ‘‘giving the borough a
hooking’ on construction of the
playground at Burndale Road
and Luzerne Avenue.

now. “Every time I call up
about it,” he said, ‘they send
some workers down, they work
for a while and then leave. But
. the job still isn’t done.”
It was noted that no lines have
been painted on the shuffle-
board courts and a pile of
topsoil has been eroding over
them. Council instructed solici-
tor Atty. Charles Lemmond to
‘confer with the recreation
committee to see what steps
can be taken to get the contrac-
tor to finish the playground.
The borough presently has
responsibility for one section of
the playground which should be

summer the committee
received numerous complaints
that outsiders were using the
courts and borough residents
occasionally could not get to
play.
Solicitor Lemmond reported
he had been in contact with the
Hartford Insurance Co., who
had the policy on the burned out
home on Huntsville Road which
the borough is seeking to have
removed. Atty. Lemmond said
the company had been under
tie impression the borough was
responsible for covering over
the gas valve which the com-
pany said could have helped
cause the gas explosion that
started the fire.
Atty. Lemmond said borough
secretary Ralph Garris went
out to the house to show the
company the valve was in the
driveway. Hartford then said all
their reports were complete.
“But the house is still there,” he
said.
Atty. Lemmond said building
inspector Richard Disque and
the police should now take the
necessary steps to have the
owner arrested.
Solicitor Lemmond said a

Magistrate Leonard Harvey
had said he was not pleased
with the borough’s arrange-
ments concerning the use oi the
hearing room. The borough gets
$200 per month from the con-
troller’s office and the borough
can hold meetings there when
Mr. Harvey isn’t holding
hearings. Magistrate Harvey
felt there were more and more
meetings being held and his
equipment was being disturbed.
Atty. Lemmond said council
should discuss the matter with
him to work out a better
arrangement.
Councilman Willard
Newberry reported the new
garage door for the borough
building was nearly finished.
The door had to be enlarged so
the new loader would fit in.
The borough has $500
budgeted for Christmas lights
but council decided not to put up
the lights this year to save
energy. But the borough will put
up the Christmas signs.
Council reported more
policemen will be put on for the
Halloween period.
Mr. Garris reported Reser-
voir Road is now in good shape
and will be oiled by the end of
the week.
The borough is buying pipe
for new street signs ‘which
should be delivered soon.
Dallas Police Chief Ray Titus
reported he issued 25 warnings
in the last month for speeding in
school zones. He also reported
the borough and Dallas Town-
ship were sharing patrol duty at
Natona Mills.
Council agreed to put a street
light at West Center Hill Road
and Susquehanna Avenue.
