DAVIS Post Staff Property labeled an “invitation to trouble” by some residents in Kingston Township has been cleaned up by its owner, the Dal- las/Shavertown Water Company. The property, located at the intersection of Stafford and Johnson Streets in Trucksville, was the site ofan abandoned wellhouse foundation made of crumbling concrete and an unused water tank 309 (continued from page 1) completed by the end of January, according to Box. In a related issue, the county is still considering installing a traffic light at the intersection of Route 309 and Hillside Road in the town- ship#The light would be one of the first ever to be installed by the county. Usually, townships are responsible for installation and maintenance of traffic lights. PennDOT and the county re- quested in September the town- ship assist them in funding a traf- fic light at the intersection. The township refused, stating the in- tersection does not warrant a light as urgently as some other town- ship intersections. The township has questioned the county as to why the light is being installed. They have not received any response, according to Box. “It appears the county is going to put in the light,” Box said Fri- day. He explained that even though the township does not want the traffic light installed at the inter- section, the county does have the authority to put it there. Box directed any further ques- tioning toJames Brozena, a county engineer. Brozena was unavailable for comment. which local residents called a safety hazard for nearby children. Residents of Stafford and Johnson Streets complained to the Kingston Township Supervisors in early January that the property was a safety risk, pointing out that the foundation hid a 10-foot hole underneath. The township notified township solicitor Benjamin R. Jones to begin legal action against the water company three weeks ago to force the property's cleanup Although the water company informed the township the prop- erty would be cleaned up by the following week, the tank and foun- dation remained on the property well into last week. On Friday, a backhoe had torn down the wellhouse foundation and the 10 foot hole was filled in with the foundation's stones. Also, the water tank was removed from the property. Developer (continued from page 1) Box said Friday afternoon that Cranes Landing developers have agreed to supply the sum of $50,000 to the township as a letter of credit. The original amount requested by the town- ship was unavailable, however it is believed the amount agreed upon was lower than the town- ship's request. “We have not yet received a letter of credit from the bank rep- resenting Cranes Landing,” Box explained. “However, we have been in contact with their bank.” Box said the township will not pursue further legal action against Cranes Landing unless the developers fail to provide the $50,000. “As far as the township is concerned,” Box said,” the matter is resolved.” Four Dallas classrooms to be opened next month By CHARLOTTE M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas School Superintendent Gerald Wycallis said last week that the four classrooms added to the Dallas Elementary School should be ready for the students in early February. “We had a meeting this week,” Wycallis said, “And work is pro- gressing well. There are just a few minor things to be finished such as laying the carpeting, complet- ing the drinking fountains, and adding a few doors to cabinets. “We have scheduled a job meet- ing for February 6 and I hope at that time we will be able to take over the classrooms and move in the students. We have waited this long and I believe it is wise to make certain everything is complete before we take over the project. Of course, there will be grading and landscaping that will have to wait until spring, but we expected that,” ~ Wycallis concluded.
