Budget shows increase
The 1984 Dallas Township budget, tentatively
approved by the township board of supervisors Nov.
15, will not show an increase in the property tax rate.
The tax rate, which currently stands at six mills,
has not been raised since 1980.
The new budget calls for $500,000 in expenditures, an
$18,700 increase over the current year. Of that total,
$108,000 is proposed for the police department while
included in the proposed budget are approximately 5%
percent raises for police and 5 percent raises for the
road employees and communications clerk.
A meeting for final consideration of the budget is
planned for Tuesday, Dec. 20, at 7 p.m.
Positions reinstated
Five extracurricular positions and programs which
were cut in June when the 1983-84 school district
budget was passed have been reinstated by the Lake-
Lehman School Board.
Reinstated were a junior high school assistant boys’
basketball coach, an assistant girls’ basketball coach,
a junior high assistant wrestling coach, a concert band
program and an elementary school music program.
The reinstated activities will be funded from federal
money that was not anticipated when the budget was
adopted and from money which would have been paid
to a teacher who has taken a sabbatical leave.
The school board also voted to hire Kingston
accountant Joseph H. Williams and Co. to serve as
3
The next school board meeting will be held Tuesday,
Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the high school. The board is, at
that time, scheduled to reorganize and appoint a
successor to the seat held by Vincent Marchakitus,
who was killed in an auto accident in October.
Council considers cruiser
Dallas Borough Council will hold a special meeting
on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 7:30 p.m. to consider
specifications for a new police cruiser. Bids for the
cruiser will be solicited following that meeting.
It was reported at the regular monthly meeting of
Council held Nov. 15 tht Pennsylvania State Police are
removing VASCAR speed detection from their units
and will give the units to municipalities at no charge.
Councilman Willard Newberry reported he has
requested one of the 65 units available, but Council-
man Jerry Machell voiced his opposition to installing
the units in borough cruisers because they are not
reliable. Council, however, voted to install the unit if
the borough receives one.
Council also voted to install a new electronic box at
the Dallas Shopping Center on Route 309 to operate the
borough’s ‘‘Season’s Greetings’ sign. The box was
demolished when a motorist hit the pole on which it
was mounted. The $254 bill for the new box will be
paid by the motorist’s insurance company.
Contract awarded
Although it did not submit the lowest bid, the Galka-
Bean Sanitation Co. of Noxen was awarded a contract
to collect garbage in Harveys Lake Borough. Borough
Council approved the $32,800 contract at its Nov. 15
meeting because of the excellent work the company
did this year in garbage collection in the borough.
M & M Refuse of Archbald submitted a bid for
$32,500 for the collection of garbage.
Council also appointed William Eschuck and Anne
Ruotolo to the civil service board which is responsible
for hiring police in the borough.
Petition rejected
The Kingston Township zoning hearing board voted
unanimously Nov. 15 to reject a petition from Mr. and
Mrs. David Sharp, of 32 Spring St., Shavertown, to
Operate a day-care center for up to 20 children at their
ome.
The primary reason for rejecting the petition was
that under township zoning ordinances, a business
operated from a home can take up no more than 29
percent of the floor space and the day-care center
would take up far mote than that.
The Sharps have 30 days to appeal the decision to
the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.
In another hearing, the board granted permission to
Edward and Kim Williams of 130 Inman St., to use a
mobile. home as their residence while building a
permanent residence on the same site.
Accident scene visited
Twelve jurors, two alternates and the attorneys
involved in the Alva Frank Taylor case visited the
scene of an accident which occurred last March in the
Back Mountain and resulted in the death of two
Larksville children.
Severn Newberry, a Dallas Borough patrolman who
was the investigating officer, acted as tour guide.
The group members which traveled to the scene via
bus, first visited the accident site near the new
building which houses Gino’s Shoe Store and
DeRemer’s Laundry on Route 309. They then traveled
to the Upper Demunds Road area and witnessed the
area where Taylor’s pickup truck hit an embankment
after the accident.
Taylor cleared in deaths
Alva Frank Taylor was found not guilty on Nov. 18
on charges he was responsible for the deaths of Candy
Jo Lorah and Daniel Lorah on March 4, 1983.
Taylor, of Beaumont, was acquitted on two counts of
homicide by vehicle and two counts of homocide by
vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol.
He was, however, found guilty of two counts of
driving under the influence and one count of leaving
the scene of an accident involving death or personal
injury.
The Larksville children were struck by Taylor’s
pickup truck as they crossed Route 309 in Dallas.
Taylor faces up to one year in jail for leaving the
scene of the accident, while driving under the influ-
ence carries a two-year maximum sentence.
