ordinance to help improve the
dilemma and some say they will
attend the next monthly meeting to
make further inquirees into the
situation.
Aside from the poor road condi-
tions, other individuals say they
have experienced yet more prob-
lems.
“They left a big ditch by our
house that was about three or four
feet deep,” Sherry Hann explained.
“Eventually it filled up with water
so you couldn’t tell how deep it was.
I have a five year old son and I was
deathly afraid something might
happen to him.
“They put up road horses, but
they didn’t have reflecting lights,”
she added. ‘Finally, after about a
month, they filled it in.”
Said Elwood Sheldon, ‘They left a
large dirt pile right off the street,”
he explained. ‘‘The trucks and
workers would go and do their jobs
but they would never clean up at the
end of the day. There was about one
or two inches of dirt left in the road
that I had to clean up myself.”
Although most people did express
dissatisfaction in one form or
another, still there were some who
had no complaints.
“Naturally, it’s an inconvenience
with all the mud, but you have to be
sensible ‘and use your common
sense about these things,” Irene
Bobeck said. “When something is
being upgraded you have to expect
a little inconvenience especially
with the weather we’ve been
having. I know it’s been messy, but
I have no complaints.”
“They’re doing the best they can,
especially with the weather we’ve
had,” added Paul Fisk.
Salla said he plans to have the
project completed by the spring,
hopefully by the end of April.
Patching holes

been making repairs right along.
Bob Chamberlain, road foreman
at Kingston Township, says the
problem is not serious in their area
because his crews have been on top
of the situation from the start.
~ “If someone does have a com-
plaint about a township road all
they have to do is call and one, two,
three it will be taken care off,’ said
township supervisor Fred Potzer.
In Dallas Township, roadmaster
Phil Walter also said the problem is
not serious.
“Right now it is not that bad,”
Walter stated. “The pothole season
really won’t start for a little while
yet. For the ones we have been
called out on, we've been using cold
patch to fill them in. On days ike
today when it isn’t raining or snow-
ing, we're out cutting ice or clearing
debris that might cause a problem.
Even though workers have been
filling in the holes, officials say the
material used is only temporary
until permanent repairs can be
made during the warmer weather.
““We’re just doing temporary
patching right now,” Britt said.
“The material we are using isn’t
heated and it’s not as good as the
stuff we will use to make permanent
repairs. We square off the holes and
pack it in but we don’t use any
sealer. It just isn’t worth it because
if it snows or rains they could be
torn up again tomorrow.
“You have to keep in mind what
causes potholes,” Potzer explained.
“Surface water, frost, for example,
so with weather conditions like this
it doesn’t pay to put in high grade
material. But you still have fo fix
them, even if it’s only temporary, to
prevent them from getting worse.”

Facilities maintenance issue
still not resolved by council
With the opening of trout season approaching, the
problem has become more urgent and the borough will
take legal action against the ‘PFC if it does not
comply.
In other business, a building inspector has given a
30-day notice to the owner of a dilapidated Old Lake
Road home. The house, owned by the Williams family,
is leaning against adjacent property owned by the
Arnone family. County money is available for demoli-
tion of the house.
Briarcrest Road residents also presented council
with a petition to have their road resurfaced. The road
is divided between Dallas Township and the Harveys
Lake Borough. Council agreed to discuss the resurfac-
ing with Dallas Township so an agreement can be
reached concerning the sharing of the cost of the
project since it is not feasible for the borough to
resurface only half of the road.
A high concentration of pollutants were found in
water tests taken by Harveys Lake’s Environmental
Commission near Sunset and Warden Place. Similar
tests taken by the municipal authority show a lower
concentratin level. The difference may be caused by a
broken or clogged main. Further tests will be taken.
Fran Kopko was appointed to the zoning board.

The ongoing issue concerning maintenance of sani-
tary facilities at the public boat access area at
Harveys Lake was a topic of discussion at the Harveys
Lake Borough Council meeting last Tuesday.
The Pennsylvania Fish Commission built the public
restrooms near the public access area located between
Sandy Bottom and Old Sandy Bottom Beaches.
In accordance with state law and local ordinance,
the facilities must be hooked up to existing sewer
lines. Problems with the facilities stem from who
should foot the bill for maintenance. The PFC
requested that the borough and the municipal author-
ity each pick up 25 percent while the commission
would assume the other 50 percent.
If the borough and the municipal authority agree to
share in the maintenance’ costs, they would be
considered part operators and therefore be liable for
the property. The borough solicitor sent a letter to the
PFC on February 3, giving the commission 45 days in
which to comply with their demands to hook up to the
sewer lines.

House burns \
This house was the scene of a three-alarm fire that occured late last Thursday morning at the
Jack Hayner residence, RD 2, Harveys Lake. Firefighters from Kunkle, Harveys Lake and Dallas
Borough arrived at the mishap at approximately 11:45 a.m. but quickly had matters under
control in a half hour, according to Jack Dodson of the Kunkle Fire Department. No injuries
were reported although Hayner’s wife, Edith, and their three children were taken by the Kunkle
ambulance to the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital where they were treated and released for
smoke inhalation. Officials say the fire: was contained to the upstairs, but the structure did
receive heavy smoke damage estimated to be at $15,000. No cause has been yet determined
and investigations are still under way.
