During this time the borough had difficulty ascer- taining who actually owned the building and which persons were affiliated with T.L.C. Enterprises. =~ Owners of nearby structures have stated their concerntoDallas Borough Council thatifthe Hearth- stone Pub caught fire, it could take h their buildings with it. Police Chief Jack Fowler had also reported evidence of illegal occupancy and possible drug activity in the boarded-up building. : Former Dallas Fire Chief Ted Wright said in August, 1990 thatif a fire broke out in the Hearthstone Pub, he would not allow his fire- fighters to enter the building due i to its neglected condition. Wright indicated that all firefighting ef- © forts would be concentrated on saving adjoining structures. Dal- las Fire Chief Bob Besecker stated to a reporter December 14 that these orders are still in effect for Dallas firefighters. ; While officials want to see the former pub torn down, Dallas . Borough's budget doesn't contain funds that could be used to raze the dilapidated building. “We simply can't use tax dollars allocated for police protection and other municipal services todemol- ish the Hearthstone Pub,” Krohn explained. “We estimate thedemo- lition cost at between $35,000and $50,000, and are seekinga county grant in that amount to cover it." Krohn also indicated that he intends to advise the borough council to vigorously pursue the matter as soon as possible. Krohn concluded, “For the owners to allow this building to exist in its present state exhibits a complete lack of responsibility to the community and the citizens and represents a prime example of J bad citizenship.” More of the news you want The Dallas Post 2a aad AAA Aad] Send the gift that delivers all year A gift subscription to The Dallas Post A gift subscription to The Dallas Post sends your good wishes all year long.
