Rumble (continued from page 1) Ochal also explained that PennDOT has already filled in two sets of the strips and will consider partially filling in the other grooves subsequent to the borough agree- ing to installing a flashing sign which would cost only several thousand dollars rather than the $10,000 to $18,000 originally thought. “If the grooves were partially filled in it would reduce them from one-half inch to one-quarter or one- eighth inch to help eliminate - the noise,” Ochal explained. 7 “We requested an answer from the borough by the end of June, but we have not heard from the council as yet. We hope they notify our department before June 30." - In the meantime, residents in the area of the rumble strips are still complaining and several have . said since the warm weather, the noise is much worse since their windows are open. Insurance (continued from page 1) member of council who asked Machell if he would be there that he knew about it. “I don’t believe that it is up to me to call the council office all the time to find out when we are having meetings other than the regularly scheduled one each month,” Machell said. Hartman, who has been a resi- dent of the Back Mountain since 1929, and recently became a resi- dent of Dallas Borough, said he is an agent for Selective Insurance Company, one of the few insur- ance agencies not afraid to insure new municipalities. Although the council had not sent out requests for bids from other insurance companies, Hart- man attended the May 14 meeting of the council and brought along general information about the coverage his company would offer on municipal property, general liability, equipment, and compen- sation. “This has nothing to do with Slocum,” Hartman said last week. “He is a good businessman and a gentleman but since I am now a resident in the borough and be- lieve I can offer the same or better coverage in many cases, I feel I deserve to be considered by the council.” Brett Slocum of Slocum Insur- ance was also at the special meet- ing and addressed the council with information about the coverage offered by his company. Later, Slocum said that when companies were cancelling municipal insur- ance during the tough years, Royal Insurance was still there. “Royal has had the borough insurance for 21 years and didn't cancel their insurance in the tough times of 1985 and 1986. The coun- cil were insured by Royal when times were tough and had no complaints,” Slocum said. “We have never been the most expen- sive and we have probably never been the least expensive, but we are competitive and usually in the middle of the road and stable. “Price is part of the picture but not the whole picture. Pick a company and an agent that will be there when help is needed," Slocum continued. "Council decided to leave its renewal where it is until it has time to do a complete com- parison. That is what anybody should do— pick an agent you can trust and be comfortable with the company and if they're solid, keep them. In any professional service needed one doesn’t necessarily pick the lowest price. “Policies need to be compared clause by clause (apples to apples) to decide which is the better," Slocum explained. "Factors to consider are price, trust, stability of the company year after year, professionalism and honesty and professionalism of the agent. Both Hartman and I gave our sides of the story,” Slocum concluded. Borough manager Milton Lut- sey said he feels comfortable with Slocum. “When I first came into this position, Slocum came in and went over the policies and explained them to me. My question is with the highway becoming busier and busier, what happens if we have a gas spill on the highway? What happens if the insurance company says we have too many suits and we're going to drop the borough. “Ned Hartman didn’t have the latest figures on the payroll includ- ing the police nor the updated equipment, and when he was asked if he would put the guarantee of dividends in writing, he said he couldn't do that," Lutsey said. "Besides, the borough is not eli- gible for dividends because of past experiences such as the incident Featuring with Jim Tupper. I think that Hart- man would provide good service but the council did not have enough time to study both companies’ coverage. “We're not professionals in in- surance and one exclusion could make a big difference," Lutsey said. "Councilman Russ Eyet made a motion to accept Slocum for cover- age because of the time factor, but appoint a committee to investigate insurance for the next year start- ing about six months before re- newals are due,” Lutsey said. Council president Tim Carroll said he voted in favor of Slocum’s company because there was not enough time to investigate the policy. “We didn't have enough facts in black and white. We will have an insurance committee for next year and six months before we will send out specitications lor the compa- nies early so we will be able to compare policies. “If Jerry Machell wants to save money why is he suing the bor- ough? Next year we will be pre- pared for studying insurance, draw up specs and put the insurance out for bid to all companies inter- ested in it,” Carroll concluded. Councilman Don Cooper did not attend the meeting, but said “It's my own fault, it slipped my mind until too late. If I had been there | probably would have suggested we look at the difference, but it's water over the dam. The good thing about it is that in the future it will be put out for bids," Cooper said. Russ Eyet, who made the two- part motion said he owns his own business and if he were promised by one company to give the same insurance at a large savings he might be leery. “Idon't believe it's sound to make a switch without an investigation. I switched insurance once in my own business and had problems. Municipalities could be worse since they are not popular with most insurance companies. The pro- posal submitted was not specific enough. It was only two weeks before our regular meeting and was not spelled out. I would like to see the borough save money but not at the expense of not having the same coverage," Eyet said. “It's nothing against Slocum or Hartman. The amount Hartman quoted in savings was nothing to sneeze at. Both men were cordial in their discussion with one an- other.” Council member Don Shaffer said he did not think it was very professional the way Hartman came in less than a month before the meeting. “He said he could save us $9,000, but when we asked questions about liability insurance during the years his company did not insure he said. “We don't go around soliciting. “He also said he couldn't put the dividends in writing and if the company wouldn't do it, he would. How can he do it if the company can't?" Shaffer asked. "Why didn’t he approach the council about six month ago and talk to us about insurance? I find it hard to beleive there could be that kind of spread insurance companies. That's why I want to compare pol- between icy with policy,” Shaffer concluded. Upon hearing that the borough had received their renewal poli- cies, Hartman's remark was “I don’t" care who submitted a quote, it's exasperating to me that council didn’t take some time to at least go 4 i over my proposal and discuss any information they wanted. With the savings I quoted them I believe they owed that courtesy.” German - (continued from page 1) as a group and this time my girl friend is with the group and I am able to show her places she has never seen before,” Uwe explained. He said there are many more: wooden houses in America than in Germany. “Most of ours are brick. Lancaster and Allentown were very , nice. They were very clean ar different. We were disappointed in the Amish people, they were not what we exepcted. They acted as - though they were dressing and’ doing different things for the tour- ists.” Most of the group included young men and their fiancees, accompanied by older members. - On Thursday the clubmingled with their host families and children at an outdoor cookout hosted by Arno Miller.
