DOVE Post Staff The Lehman Township super- visors voted March 15 to borrow the necessary funds to pay all current bills, including the cost of clearing the roads from the last snowstorm, as tax receipts have been coming in slowly and the - Liquid Fuels Tax account is low on funds due to previous snow- storms this winter. Sutton said that during the past month, the township has used more than 960 tons of salt, cinders and anti-skid materials on the roads. Supervisor Douglas Ide noted that the township spent more than $300 a day on fuel for the plow trucks during the weekend's snowstorm. The supervisors commended everyone who helped out during the blizzard for their excellent work. Residents of Walnut Woods Road again approached the super- visors to request that the town- ship take over their road. “The only way that the town- ship will take over the road is if the homeowners have an inch of asphalt laid on the road, accord- ing to the engineers specifica- tions,” said supervisor David Sutton. After considerable discussion, the supervisors agreed to get a paving bid through the coopera- tive paving materials program, so that the township crew could pave the road for a lesser rate at the homeowners’ expense. Ide said that he would ask township solicitor Peter Savage if township trucks could plow the road at the homeowners’ expense until the road is brought up to specificatons and accepted by the township. In other business, the supervi- sors voted to send a letter to the Luzerne County Commissioners supporting a resolution by the Back Mountain Communications Center protesting the county's present design for a county-wide 911 system. The resolution states that the Back Mountain Communications Center opposes the county's plan unless it is included as a satellite answering point and is compen- Lehman will borrow to pay bills sated by the county based on the number of telephone lines which it services. : It was noted that no estimates of the cost of the past weekend's major snowstorm can be made until all bills for materials, equip- ment and services are received, which should take approximately two weeks. ’ Emergency Services Coordina- tor Gail Ide reported that: ; * A network of people living in different areas of the township has been set up in order to check with elderly or infirm neighbors who might need help. : e The U.S. Department of Agri- culture has announced that it will receive milk held in bulk tanks from dairy farmers that was deliv- ered late due to the snowstorm. * The latest information on state certification of firefighters is now available.

Library news By NANCY KOZEMCHAK The Back Mountain Memorial Library patrons are very happy with our new INFOTRAC from the Information Access Company in Foster City, California. The sys- tem allows patrons in seconds to search magazine issues from 1986 through 1992 in more than 200 magazines for articles written on a specific subject. The printer prints the listing and the system is always up-to-date because a new database with indexing of the latest issues is delivered monthly to the library.
