Lake ‘Township Board of
Supervisors agreed Saturday to
accept an offer from the
Department of Human
Resources to fund the salary of
position is open for applications
and entails seeking Federal and
State monies for township
projects. Salary will be $7000
would not take a 40 hour week
and it would be better to pay on
an hourly basis.
Applications will be received
nec 21 when the board
will ®noose a coordinator. One
application has been received
and anyone else who is in-
terested can contact supervisor
John Adams, 477-5188 or
secretary Judy Steltz, 477-5463
for further information.
Mrs. Steltz announced that
there was enough money in the
bank to meet the payroll for the
first half of December but there
was not enough to cover the
payroll for the second half or for
the bills. According to a state
law, the township cannot
borrow any money until after
Jan. 1, 1975 and there is no other
revenue expected before that
time, Mrs. Steltz reported.
The board discussed the
annual budget meeting
scheduled for Dec. 9 at the
home of the secretary. Walter
Hoover, chairman, stated that
he regretted the action but felt
it would be necessary ‘to in-
crease the present seven mills
tax for the coming year. In-
‘creased prices of materials,
laggy etc. would make it
necessary, he said. One mill is
revenue to'the township, it was
related. Earned income tax
netted the township about
$10,000 last year. Mr. Hoover
stated that the township cannot
exist on the present tax rate.
The board will attend a
Side Landfill scheduled for Dec.
9 in Kingston Township.
A letter was received from
Congressman Dan Flood
replying to an inquiry about
keeping the Lake Township
landfill open. He said that it is a
state matter and the Depart-
ment of Environmental
Resources (DER) should be
contacted along with Rep. Fred
Shupnik and Sen. Newell Wood.
DER regulations might make it
necessary to close the landfill
and the board is making every
attempt to see that it stays
open.
The board received a man-
date from the Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment - (HUD) Federal Flood
Insurance Agency, stating that
if the board did not take im-
mediate action, residents in
flood areas could not be eligible
for Federal Flood Insurance
advised to write a letter ex-
plaining that there are only two
areas in the township, Fades
Creek and Bryants Pond, which
could be flooded, and that it was
not necessary to have flood
insurance. The township ad-
vertised April 1973 that appli-
cants could obtain insurance in
flood plain areas in the town-
(continued from PAGE ONE)
building if they interrupt the
meeting.
Councilman Carl Disano ob-
jected to the new rules as an
“attempt by someone to rule
the council as he sees fit.” He
asked for Atty. Piccone’s
opinion on ejecting a council
member and taking away his
vote.
“If the man is disruptive the
council president has the right
to remove him from the meet-
ing,” Atty. Piccone said. ‘‘A
disruptive individual is depriv-
ing the rest of council and the
' people of the town of their right
. to state their business and hold
an erly meeting.”
ANRhe start of the meeting
Mr. Osolnick asked Mr. Disano
if he still lived in the borough,
since he understood Mr. Disano
had _inoved out of his parents’
hol and purchased property
outside the borough.
Mr. Disano said he lived at
650 Charles St., Luzerne, and
had purchased several other
properties outside the borough
prior to his last move. Mr. Osol-
nick said Mr. Disano: would
have to sign an affidavit stating
he still kwed in the borough.
Atty. Piccone, responding to a
questiontby Mr. Disano, said it
was up to the council president
to determine if a vacancy exists
on the council and a sworn affi-
davit was the best protection
council and the borough had if
the question ever came up.
In other business, council
opened bids for an extension of
the sanitary sewer lines ‘up
Cottage Avenue. Low bidder
was William Heck Construction
Co., . Barre, with a bid of
$6,815. The job includes an esti-
mated 475 linear feet of pipe,
five manholes, and an esti-
mated 160 square yards of
blacktop. Other bids opened in-
cluded B.G. Kuhn - $14,847;
American Asphalt - $10,971;
Park Sanitation - $9,885; and
Lindy Enterprises - $9,570.
One citizen complained of a
drainage problem at the
Ruggles Lumber Co. He said
the company’s blacktop alley
causes flooding of neighboring
properties between Bennett and
Charles Streets. He said the in-
side of the alley has rain gutters
but the outside does not.
Atty. Piccone was instructed
to contact Swoyersville Bo-
rough Council president Joseph
Piazza to see what Swoyersville
intends to do about a section of
Diamond Street the Insana
Construction Co. ripped up
while installing Swoyersville
sewers.
Council agreed to hire Joe
Paratore as a full time police-
man in the borough with a six
month probation period. The
borough elected to hire another
policeman with a grant from
the Luzerne County Human Re-
sources Program. :
Council agreed to enlarge
three storm drains om Main
Street. Mr. Bogovic, Mr. Disano
and Mr. Martino voted against
the measure. Mr. Disano said
they should not pass the
measure until they were sure
the pipe was sufficiently large
to accept more. water. Other
council members disagreed,
saying the drains should be en-
larged anyway so they would
not be so easily blocked with
debris during heavy rains.

ship but there were no applica-
tions received, the secretary
reported.
One resident asked if the
Petty-Ray Geophysical Com-
pany,
right to explore for minerals on
private property in the town-
ship. He was informed that the
company could explore 25 feet
from the center of the road and
that they had a permit to
operate in the area. The in-
formation they want is obtained
by hydraulic vibration and it is
being gathered for a Houston,
Texas, firm.
Atty. Jonathon Valentine,
township solicitor, cautioned
the board on creating a position
because of the increased
unemployment, Social Security
claims and increased crime.
The government will need addi-
tional monies, he explained,
and they might not be able to
keep up with the programs they
have scheduled to combat
unemployment and inflation.
