Ide said that PennDOT contacted the borough last summer and said that a resident of the township asked that the speed limit on Route 29 from Route 118 be lowered. After this notification, the town- ship purchased four speed limit signs and posts and installed them . “...as per PennDOT standards,” said Ide. ‘*'Earlier this month, PennDOT took down the township's signs ahd replaced them with the new ones. - “We spent all that money chang- irig the speed limit and now they change it back,” said Ide. , He added that there is concern that the speed limit on another st=etch of road past Lake Silk- +h has also been increased. “They kept the speed limit at 35 while traveling through Lake Silk- worth but when you get to the other side it goes right back to 50,” said Ide. “There is a lot of pedes- trian traffic there and it could be a hazard with cars flying through there.” . . The supervisors noted that a convenience store, a churchand a trzaler park are all in close proxim- ity» the partofthe roadway where the speed has been increased. "The board was going to look into the situation but the supervisors said they were not sure if they could do anything about it. Also at the meeting, the super- visors responded to a letter from the township zoning hearing board questioning why a former board member was not reappointed to a second term. A letter sent to the supervisors from William Conyngham, chair- man of the zoning hearing board, questioned whether Susan Baber's actions in dealing with a contro- versial property in Town and Coun- try Manor had-anything to do with her not being. reappointed to the board. Inaletterdated March 25, 1991, Conyngham noted the problems at the home of Dwayne and Ann Poepperling and said that the township “...might have a meas- ure of responsibility for the situ- ation as it existed.” The letter also stated that the zoning hearing board contacted the supervisors last November and suggested that some “...actions be taken in the hopes of moving to- ward some kind of culmination.” Conyngham then wenton to say that the zoning hearing board had “second-hand information” that Baber was not reappointed because of the suggestion that the supervi- Dotter Wife of Soldier in Gulf says newspapers were a big hit : "Editor: : “Thank you for all of your sup- - port!

Supervisor David Sutton said that Baber’s not being reappointed came about because of miscom- munication and not as “an ulterior motive.” “We had already made up our minds to appoint Dave Valentine to the board,” said Sutton. “Susan Baber had made it clear that she didn't want to be on the zoning hearing board and we had some- one who did so what better time to appoint him then when her term was up.” Sutton did publicly apologize for the communication problem in not contacting Baber about the decision. Sutton said that he was supposed to contact Baber and tell her, but failed to do so. “I apologize now for not calling her,” said Sutton. “It was a little embarrassing for everyone and it was my fault that she was not contacted.” : Sutton did say that supervisors were not pleased with some ac- tions taken by Baber in handling the Poepperling case but he stated emphatically that ‘was not “the reason for her not being reap- pointed. “She went out there and studied the runoff situation,” said Sutton.

The supervisors said they will set up a meeting with the zoning hearing board to discuss any ques- tions.
