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. They were
eventually found in a corner in the
secretary’s office. If we had seen
those plans, we would have never

approved the entrance or exit de
King Street where the bank planned
it. 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.

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.
