Harveys Lake Borough
Council last week left
pending a decision on
whether the borough would
collect its own garbage or
contract for collection. The
decision was tabled due to
the absence of Fred
Merrill, council chairman
and council member
Bernice Stein.
Council members Jack
MacManus and Robert
Winterstein presented
council with a feasibility,
study made on the
situation. The vote on the
matter was tabled until the
reg June meeting.
The’meeting was called
to allow the opening and
acceptance of a bid for pipe
for the borough's road
committee. Awarded the
bid was Mancrete Com-
pany. The bidding was
reopened on the pipe
following the regular May
meeting of council. Of the
bids opened at the May
meeting only one, from the
highest bidder, came
accompanied with all
advertised requirements.
Council Solicitor John
Thomas announced that a
hearing is scheduled for
June 23 in the Luzerne
County Court House for the
public to have the opport-
unity to come forward on
the borough’s proposal to
acquire a recreation area.
The hearing will allow for
claims on the property and
public opinion on the
matter.
In three votes taken at
the special meeting,
decisions were made to
purchase a grader, pay the
building inspector and hire
a sewage inspection of-
ficer. The used grader was
purchased from William
Hicks. Council will pay
Hicks $900 for the used
grader.
William Yuscellis, build-
ing inspector, was granted
a regular fee of $50 per
month, retroactive from
Jan. 1; and a commission
of 25 per cent on each
permit given, retroactive
to April 3.
The council accepted as
their sewage inspection
officer LeRoy Roberts
from Dallas. Roberts sug-
gested that council charge
$50 for each permit - $25 for
the backhoe test, $20 for the
percolator test and $5 for
the permit. Roberts sug-
gested prices came far
below those of the three
other officers applying for
the position.
Solicitor Thomas an-
nounced that due to the
confusion on the council’s
ordinances for docks,
building and zoning, he has

other leaks that have been
