Nearly 40 taxpayers from the Harveys Lake Bor-
ough met with council members Saturday morning at
an informal town meeting to discuss two issues before
council. :
Council President Richard Boice said residents were
in total agreement without council on the proposed
installation of dry fire hydrants around the lake.
The dry hydrant system is the same as a regular
hydrant system except there is no pressure in the
hydrants. A pipe extends from the base of the hydrant
and would extend into the bottom of the lake. One
major advantage of the system is it eliminates the
need to chop or drill ice on the lake in the winter’s
freezing temperatures.
Also, according to Boice, the system, once com-
pleted, will give residents an insurance break. It will
put the borough at a fire rating of a 6 or 7 instead of
the lake residents present 9 rating, according to Boice.
The project will cost the borough approximately
$50,000 and consist of 20 hydrants costing $2,000 each,
stationed every 20 feet around the lake. Boice esti-
mated engineering costs at $10,000.
The borough is taking the first step in the project by
hiring Smith-Miller Associates engineering firm to
make a feasibility study of the five year project. Boice
said that the season for installation is coming up fast
and he hopes to have a few hydrants installed this
year. Also, a committee set-up to handle the project
has been formed.
Residents also agreed with council to turn down a
proposal from the Pennsylvania Fish Commission to
accept $1,000 semi-annually for maintenance of the
access area rest rooms.
Residents felt disgruntled about the fact that the
state imposed mandatory hook-up to the sewer lines
and now the commission refuses to hook the access
area restrooms to the lines. Also, the question of the
borough’s high liability for the area if they enter into
the proposed 25-year contract was aired as a reason
for disapproving of the proposal.
Residents expressed to Council they want to see the
commission taken to court even if it means a loss in
money.
Boice expressed that he was pleased with the turn
out at the meeting and scheduled the next informal
town meeting for June 28.

EACH NOON when I pick up my
son Billy from Kindergarten, I have
a chance to look around at the
Dallas Elementary School. The
World War II honor roll still hangs
in the hall, so once in a while I read
over the names. I can’t help
thinking of all the students who
have passed through the halls of
this school, when it was a high
school, a junior high and now an
elementary school. All the years of
learning, the programs presented,
the students that graduated.
It seems sad that school buildings
have to close, but of course they
can’t last forever. And after all, it’s
really the people, teachers,
students, secretaries, janitors and
administrators that make the school
what it is.
