The Kingston Township board of supervisors last
Wednesday approved the first reading of their 1987
budget tentatively set at $980,748.
Although the township will lose approximately $75,-
000 from revenue sharing, which has been cut, there
will be no tax increase while services will actually
improve. Residents will once again pay 5 mills.
“In the past we used the revenue sharing as sort of
a backup,” township manager Fred Potzer said. “We
used the money for capitol improvement and at times
to pay some salaries for the road department. But we
never used the money to pay for entire salaries.”
Potzer says the capitol improvement budget for this
year will actually rise $38,000 from last years $150,000
figure for improvements in street resurfacing, storm
drainage and other projects. The budget will also
include money for a full-time zoning officer who had
been employed on a part time basis.
One other way the township plans to compensate for
the lost revenue will be through a Community Work
Experience Program which will add two employees to
the road department in the near future. Under the
CWEP, the township is only required to pay approxi-
mately $37 a month for each worker, which normally
would amount to $648 per person.
In other business, the township:
— Received two bids for a 1987 4-wheel drive
cruiser. Howard Duke Isaacs of Shavertown bid
$14,419 with an $800 trade in value for a 1983 cruiser,
and another from Bear Ford of Huntingdon Mills set
at $15,690 with a trade in value of $400. Bear Ford also
submitted a $13,171.45 bid for a mid-size standard
vehicle.
— Authorized the township manager to file an
application with the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources for grant funding under the
Rat Source Elimination Program. Any residents who
wish to have small sheds or one- car garages torn
down are asked to call the township for an appoint-
ment. There will be no cost to the residents.
— Approved payment of $820 to the Westmoreland

their grandparents, then the
fun began. Everyone enjoyed
hot dogs, ice cream, cookies,
juice and coffee galore. A
wonderful hayride was
provided for the children
(much to the relief of more
than one grandparent the
hayride was for children
only).
Everyone, including the
teachers had a wonderful
time and it was a nice way
for us to meet the childrens’

Officers which represent individual

The Council does, however, have
class representatives so that each

objective of the Council this year is
to get more activities going so that

— Authorized the solicitor to draft a resolution
signifying the township’s intent to participate in the
PennDOT turnback program. The township supervi-
sors would like to take over Pioneer Avenue providing
the state makes approximately $200,000 in improve-
ments, including drainage, resurfacing, the cleaning of
gutters and the addition of guardrails. The road is
currently state owned. But if the request of the -
supervisors is met, the township will then take over
and be responsible for its upkeep, including snow
removal.
