Exit blocked Bank (Continued from page 1) There was a slight hitch, however, when it was discovered that the right-of-way coming down King Street into the bank or Fino’s Phar- macy was not a street at all. King Street is a dead end street ending on the hill in the area of Gate of Heaven driveway. For years, motorists had been crossing borough or bank property, but there had never been any objec- tion by either party. At this point, according to the bank official, the architect’s plans were given to Drew Fitch, Dallas ‘Borough Zoning Officer who, in turn, gave the plans to the Council secretary, since retired, for presen- tation to the Council for their approval. In the meantime, Fitch gave approval to the only project within his jurisdiction-construction of the new drive-in windows: The bank officials say they received approval from the former secretary to exit over borough prop- erty. They were under the impres- sion that everything was approved by the council and proceeded with the renovations. However, all was not right Bor- ough Council members never saw the plans, let alone approve them. “I don’t know what happened,” said Council President Harold Brobst. “In the confusion of the former secretary retiring, another appointed and resigning, then a second appointed, somehow the plans never got to us.

It cuts our property in half and runs right along the side of our building.” Brobst said the problems could be solved if the exit were put farther up at the edge of the'property where the right-of-way had been before, or at least close to that area. He maintained, however, that the architect refused to do this.j The traffic situation can be resolved if the bank officials are willing to move the exit higher, according to Brobst. When it was pointed out that Dallas residents are becoming increasingly annoyed because the Dallas Borough truck parked in the exit area prohibits them from using King Street, he suggested they take up the matter with United Penn officials. Slocum will be renovated Department of Environmental Resources Secretary Nicholas DeBenedictis today announced the approval of a $100,367 Pennsylvania Conservation Corps (PCC) project at Francis Slocum State Park, Luz- erne County. The project includes the construc- tion of three pavilions and the installation of 56 picnic tables and will provide jobs and training for eight disadvantaged young people through January 1986. “It is heartening to know that jobs and training are being provided to hard-working young people,’’ DeBenedictis said, “while local and state governments benefit by being able to provide increased recrea- tional opportunities to their taxpay- ers.” ~ To date, $23.1 million has been approved for 202 projects through- out the Commonwealth. The Pennsylvania Conservation «Corps is a $27 million program that will provide jobs for more than 4,000 disadvantaged young men and women working on several hundred projects in local communities and state parks and forests over a two- year period. The approved projects will provide increased recreation and economic benefits. The PCC is part of the economic revitalization program being financed by a $190 million bond issue approved in a voter referen- dum, passed by the General Assem- bly, and signed by Gov. Dick Thorn- burgh in July 1984. Those interested in applying for corps member positions should con- tact their local Office of Employ- ment Security. Full-time high school students and post-secondary school students may work as corps members only during authorized school vacations and may not leave school to participate in the program. grandchildren; eight great-grand- children; brother, Rev.
