Four water companies apply for rate hikes: The
Shavertown-Kingston Township, Trucksville, Hillcrest
and Homesite Water Companies have applied to the
Public Utilities Commission for rate hikes averaging
from $49 to $94 per customer per year. The companies
cited higher operating costs as reasons for the requests.
All are subsidiaries of Pennsylvania Gas and Water
Company and none have received increases since 1980.
If approved, the requests will mean customers on the
water company lines will pay between $209 and $362 per
year for water. The PUC has 60 days to accept, reject or
offer alternatives to the four companies on the requests.
ICustomers, who believe the hikes to be unwarranted,
may file formal complaints by writing to the PUC at P.O.
Box 3265, Harrisburg, Pa 17120.
Township appeals sludge spraying permit-Jackson
Township supervisors authorized solicitor Blythe Evans
to appeal a Department of Environmental Protection
decision to allow Dallas Area Municipal Authority to
continue spraying liquid sludge on a farm owned by the
Manzoni family. Der issued a permit to DAMA on Dec.
29, following several months of investigation and public
wrangling. Supervisors publicly oposed the idea of
bringing sludge into the Township since late August.
Regardless of cost, the supervisors indicated they will
pursue the appeal to the Environmental Hearing Board,
which can overturn the agency’s decision.
' Auditor's vote against created positions-Jackson
Township auditors refused to allow the supervisors to
receive additional renumeration for newly created
[postions on the Road Department. The position of
superintendent and assistant foreman of the road
department angered residents of the township. The
positions had been awarded board chairman Walter
Zincavage and vice-chairman Charles Cigarski at the
Township’s reorganizational meeting, Jan. 3.
The auditors’ meeting the following day, set wages for
fall road crew work at the prevailing fees.
Chase inmate hearing set: William Delbuno, 27, Phila-
Idelphia, will come before District Justice Earl Gregory
in preliminary hearing Friday, Jan. 14, on charges of
prison breach. Delbuno escaped from the State
Corrections Institute at Chase, Thursday, Dec. 30, and
was recaptured within hours. He was arraigned before
Gregory, who set bail at $10,000.
Delbuno was serving a two to five year sentence for
burglary and was due to be considered for parole in
seven months. Parole will not now be recommended by
prison officials and Delbuno is spending time in segrega-
tion as part of an institution punishment.
Area boards reorganize: During the first week of
January, local governing bodies reorganized and named
new officers for the upcoming year. In the Back Moun-
tain, most reorganiations were held on Monday, Jan. 3.
In Kingston Township, Supervisor Herb Hill was
named chairman, with Dan Wisnieski elected vice-
chairman. Walter Zincavage was re-elected to his third
term as chairman of the Jackson Township supervisors
with Charles Cigarski serving as vice-chairman. In
Dallas Township, no surprise, Phil Walter and Frank
Wagner continue in the two positions. Walter has served
as board chairman for nine years. Lehman Township
reappointed Allen Major as chairman while Doug Ide
was elected to the vice position. No reorganization is
necessary in Dallas Borough this year, as Council elects
a president every two years. William Berti will continue
in that position until 1984.
Applicants vie for Dallas Board seat: Wednesday, Jan.
5, was the deadline for filing an application for consider-
ation to serve on the Dallas School Board. The vacancy
occurred with the resignation of Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy
and is the third such position on the Board. Members
Shawn Murphy and Al Pisaneschi have also been ap-
pointed rather than voted upon by the electorate.
Persons filing applications for the position included
Johnny George, Dallas; Harry Sickler, Dallas; Mabel
Jenkins, Dallas; George King, Dallas; Joseph Kowalski,
Dallas and Pat Gregory, former school director. Marvin
Meade, East Dallas, also applied but withdrew due to
provisions in the Hatch Act which prohibit his serving
while in the Federal employ. Meade is a postal employee.
It was expected the school board would fill the vacancy
at its meeting Monday, Jan. 10.
Franklin Township board of auditors held its
reorganization meeting Tuesday, Jan. 4, 6 p.m. in the
basement of the Orange United Methodist Church.
Malcom Baird, of Orange, was reelected chairman of the
of auditors; Mrs. Fay Perry was elected
secretary. The other member of the board is Mrs. Janice
Brace of Demunds Road, whose six year term on the
board will expire in December.
As part of its work, the auditors set the hourly salary of
Willard Race of Franklin Township as roadmaster at
$7.95 per hour. The action by the auditors was taken
because Willard Race is a member of The Franklin
Township board of Supervisors and the township code
specifies that the roadmaster’s salary in those cases has
to be set by the township board of auditors. At the $7.95
per hour rate, Race’s salary as road master including
overtime will run well over $17,000 per year.
