> spiraling cost of regular Workmen's
Compensation has driven small
communities to seek other means to
comply with state regulations
which make it mandatory to carry

An annual Workmens Com-

made the possibility of a Pennsyl-
vania alternative very appealing.
Increasing inflation means another
hike in the 1980 premium. The state
association will be thoroughly in-
vestigated before any final
decisions are made by the Dallas
board. Application for detailed

A wide array of terms had fallen
upon the American scene as a result
of the energy crisis and the passage
of new legislation to stimulate
energy production. . Alcohol,
Methoanol, Ethanol, and many
other similar fuels dominate much
of the energy and fuel discussion
\throughout the country and
throughout Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania. Projects which even two
years ago would not have been
dreamed of are being planned, pro-
grammed, funded, developed and
implemented as a result of priority
: being given to energy development
} | through the passage of the Syn-
in ri ee re
thetic Fuels Act of 1980, and the
Windfall Profits Tax of 1978.
Guarantees, loan guarantees, pur-
chase agreements, development
financing, cooperative agreements,
feasibility studies, and other terms
are used to describe techniques
which the Federal government has
adopted to encourage energy
production in the United States.
Some of the projects planned or
underway in the Pocono Northeast

treasury. According to Secretary
Glen Howell, a hearing must be
held.
The federally-funded program
will cease in 1981 but the township
has been on the receiving end of the
handout since its inception. The
meeting has been scheduled for
Nov. 3, which is also the resched-
uled regular monthly meeting of th
board.
A special session has been set up
for the preparation of the 1981
budget. The supervisors will gather
with their Solicitor Frank Townend
on Nov. 11. The proposed budget
will then be on public display for 30
days until it meets with final ap-
proval in mid-December.
Dallas Township is still trying to
adjust the number of housing units
in ‘the 1980 census. According to
township figures there are 2492 but
census figures are 2417. Solicitor
Townend will contact the bureau in
Philadelphia to try and correct the
error. This could mean an ad-
ditional 200 people in the final count.
Figures play an important part in
applications and eligibility for state
and federal grants.

Mr. Cohen and the playful
housewife have much in common--
they philosophize the: throwing of
good money after bad with noble
purposes. I wish I could think of who
first said, (‘Gambling sponsored by
the state is nothing more than a
poor man’s tax.”
For fifty miles of Interstate 80 I
grumbled and groaned as one-way
traffic hindered my hurtling across
Pennsylvania--even at 55 miles per
hour. I have no energy left to hunt
out the statistics on how much that
particular highway cost to build.
Or, more importantly, why it has to
be rebuilt after only about ten
years, and at what astronomical
figures.

David Palmentera, representing
the Watchtower Bible and Tract
Society, was at the planning
commission meeting to explain why
there is a trailer parked on the
church property on Hildebrandt Rd.
Meyer, a traveling overseer, is pre-
senting visiting the 21 congre-
gations in the Dallas area. He will
spend a year or possibly two in the
area and works from his travel
trailer.
The commission stated that a
formal application for a trailer
variance would have to be made.
There have been inquiries about the
trailer being parked on the church
grounds. Palmentera obtained an
application and it will be submitted
at the Nov. meeting.
The Rockville Bridge, like the
Brooklyn Bridge, has stood the
pounding of ever increased weights
of railroad engines and cars, for
over a hundred years and is as
steady now as it was when those
early stones were put in place. I
imagine if the old Pennsylania
Canal had not been destroyed for
highways and the future we are now
enjoying, it would remain capable
of containing canal boats and
water. While the bridges across the
deep ravines of the upper tier
counties soar, the overall effect is
dimmed by the deterioration of the
paving.
It was explained to me by one
sympathizer of the builders that
trucks have crumbled it. Were the
builders so blind they had never
heard of trucks, even worse, never
calculated that our liberal
legislative bodies would continue to
allow weight limits to rise in cyclic
patterns?

these facilities. Tax incentives are
available for the purpose of en-
couraging private sector invest-
ment and sponsorship of energy
development projects spawned by|
the synfuel legislation and others
under which such facilities can be
constructed.
It is important to note, however,
that the Federal government is
primarily interested in both the
short and long-term commerciali-
zation of energy projects. Some of
these projects may prove to be
unfeasible, yet deserve careful
analysis and study in order to
determine which course of action is
appropriate. Public sector dollars
used to stimulate private sector
investment is a technique which has
been encouraged in recent years in
terms of economic development,
community conservation, urban
revitalization, and other worthy
objectives. In energy terms, it is a
desirable course for action in order
to help provide protection against
overuse of foreign oil and other
energy resources for which we have
become too dependent in recent
years.
