DENMON Staff Writer : The Dallas High School cafete- ria is finally narrowing its loss and actually showed a profit of nearly $800 in May. School Director James Richardson reported at the June 10 meeting of the school board that for the first time in years the cafeteria operated at a profit of $784.24 for May and the total loss todate was $16,634.16, down 50% over last year's loss of $33,686. The board approved Richardson's recommendations to send a letter to the manager's superior commending her on her performance. The board also ap- proved the company’s contract for another year. District Superintendent Gerald Wyecallis reported atMonday night's board meeting that the new main- tenance supply building was in- spected but three doors lacked the proper closing devices. “The architect said he would appeal to the contractor but if they don't pass, the cost to replace the doors will be $600. I told the archi- tect he better appeal for a waiver because the board would not pay the contractor,” said Wycallis. Wycallis commended mainte- nance supervisor Richard Morgan on the appearance of the grounds. Sw ll # & “The flowers and grass, everythis is in good order,” said Wycal The board approved the Wg Bn by member Ernest Ashbridge to appoint Robert Laux Agency as the provider of Workers’ Compensa- tion coverage for employees of the District. £2 They also approved paytheént of $1756.86 to Pasonick & Seargent Inc. for architecturrl services for the maintenance building ‘and payment of $15,524.55 to B. 3] Electrical Contractors Inc. for élec- trical work on the building. - if In other business the board * » Accepted the resignation of Rita Lyons, guidance aide, ji tive June 4, with regret. oF Residents, environmentalists protest : Commonwealth Telephone building i By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas Township zoning board listened to several hours of testi- mony from the group of persons opposing Commonwealth Tele- phone Company's request for a special exemption to build a 40,000 square foot building for commer- cial use on property along Route 309, at a meeting June 4. The meeting was a continuance of a May 22 meeting when Com- - monwealth proponents presented their testimony in favor of the exemption. Witnesses representing John and Diane Graham, adjoining property owners, the Sierra Club, Susquehanna | RiverWatch Inc., environmentalists, ecologists and biologists testified concerning the effect the proposed Commonwealth building would have on the water table, wetlands, residents’ safety and property values in the area. Attorney James Geddes was moderator of the meeting at which Atty. Hopkin Rowlands represented the Grahams, whose adjoining property contains part of a wet- land that would be damaged by the construction. The Grahams’ con- cern is that the water supply could be destroyed just to build a large building to house a communica- tions system and transmission supply equipment. Environmentalists, including | university professors and biolo- gists, testified that the building would destroy plant and animal life in the area. Michael Dombrowski, contrac- tor for The Maples development, said the commercial building would hurt his business. “It will make it almost impossible to sell homes in the Maples development with the building there and the traffic it will create,” Dombrowski testified. Commonwealth's attorney, Jolin D. Filipowicz maintains that the company will observe all township rules concerning noise as well as DER regulations relative -to ‘the wetlands and other environmental concerns. yt ox . This was not sulficient for Jefe! frey Pace, who recently purcha’ Io a home in the Maples. sls “I have a young daugliter and’ my concern is her safety. My home is not far from the site wil Commonwealth wants to constEfict. their building. All the company’s safety regulations would riot gnar=. antee that my daughter would not’ be found in their drainageditch, If I knew Commonwealth was plans. ning such a building I would never have had my house built in: the Maples,” he said. The zoning board will iceb Tuesday, June 18, at 7:30p. m., ® announce its decision. ; Obituaries . § : GIT i f C ) ] nv Re vy! nnd hah 1 - A Ns : Pa > Pa JOHN BAUR John M.
