DOVE Post Staff The Dallas Borough Council adopted a proposed 1992 budget that holds the line on taxes, but council members expressed con- cern that services may have to be cut to meet the plan. At its meeting November 19, the council noted that no millage in- creases have been proposed; how- ever no contingency funds have been appropriated for emergen- cies. Borough Council president Don Cooper commented, “This is a very lean budget. It will work only with prudent management, a bolt of lightning and an act of God. We might not see all of the services that we want to provide.” Six council members voted in favor of the budget; Marie Eyet cast the only dissenting vote. Later, Ms. Eyet explained her vote in a written press release. “I was of the opinion during the budget process that a three-mill increase was necessary for the following reasons: to cover the coming year's expenditures, to provide funding for any unfore- seen or emergency situations, to pay for this year’s fiscal deficit and to insure completion of our road improvement system. I was in the minority with my opinion. I re- spect the majority of council's opinion that this is a workable budget, and I understand their unwillingness to raise taxes given our present economy. However, my financial background and experience with the budget proc- ess lead me to believe that the services demanded by my constitu- ents will not be fully provided for under this proposed budget.” A second budget meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 16, at 7 p.m. In other business, the council No leads yet in robbery at Merchants Bank According to Dallas Township Police Chief Carl Miers, a man wearing a ski mask held up the Merchants Bank at the intersec- tion of Routes 415 and 118 Friday, November 22, shortly before 7 p.m. Miers said that the man entered the bank while brandishing a handgun and told the employees that it was a holdup. He escaped with an undetermined amount of cash, Miers said. No customers were in the bank at the time. Miers described the suspect as a white male wearing dark cloth- ing and a ski mask. The FBI in Scranton and the Pennsylvania State Police Wyoming Barracks Research and Identification Unit are assisting in the investigation. The FBI has jurisdiction over any bank insured by the FDIC, such as Merchants Bank, Miers explained. Miers said that this was the first armed robbery on record in the township. Chief Miers asks that anyone who was in the vicinity of Mer- chants Bank between 6:45 and 7:15 p.m. Friday night and who noticed any unusual person, ve- hicle or activity to contact the Dallas Township police at 675- 5251 or the FBI at 344-2404. Two injured when car flips on Route 309 in Shavertown Two women were injured after the car they were riding in flipped over on Route 309 Sunday, No- vember 24. Bryn E. Kriedler, of Edwardsville Apartments, Edwardsville, was drivng a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am south on Route 309 at about 3 p.m. when the car swerved right and hit the Ellis Avenue Street sign, police said. The car continued another 64 feet and hit an embankment, which flipped the car onto its roof. The car slid 230 feet on its roof before stopping, police said. Kingston Township Ambulance, Rescue 1, and the Shavertown Fire Company responded to the acci- dent. Kreidler and her passenger, Suzanne Avellini, of Staten Island, N.Y., were taken to Nesbitt Hospi- tal, where they were treated and released. Investigating officer was Sgt. James J. Balavage. “This is a very lean budget. It will work only with prudent management, a bolt of lightning and an act of God.” Donald Cooper President, Dallas Borough Council noted that a DUI checkpoint will be held in Dallas Borough Decem- ber 13, in cooperation with the Luzerne County DUI Task Force. Council also authorized the borough manager to apply for a loan to purchase a new police cruiser, which will cost approxi- mately $14,000 for the vehicle and installation of all necessary elec- tronic police equipment. The prop- erty committee also noted that a garage for the police cruisers is Thangsgiving fun a needed. ’ After a discussion on covering the garbage fees of those residents who have applied for considera- tion as hardship cases and cannot afford the yearly fee, the council decided to have DAMA, as the offi- cial collection agency, work out funding for this. For every extra bag of garbage, residents must purchase a sticker for $1.50, which is presently retained by DAMA for expenses. Council members felt that money from this account could pay for the hardship cases, rather than having DAMA, Danella and the municipalities each paying 1/ 3 of the fee, as had been suggested. Borough Manager Milton Luit- sey reported that the borough's Christmas decorations will be lit beginning Wendesday, November 27. The next regular borough coun- cil meeting will be Tuesday, Des cember 17, at 8 p.m. Katelyn Kaminski, left, and Bridget Reilly joined in the fun, at Gate of Heaven School’ s Thanksgiving play November 21.
