10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 7, 1994 Mossback (continued from page 1) . “How can I ever thank you?” the little lizard asked, tears of gratitude in his eyes. . “Forget it, kid,” Mossback said, feeling better about himself than he ever had before. “Just do your best and make me proud of you.” © After the little lizard had gone, Mossback noticed with alarm that his bag of freeze-dried flies was half-empty. “I'd better find Santa Claus tomorrow or I'll be in trouble,” he said to himself, nerv- ously. “.'‘Mossback hopped a short dis- tance, but soon the sun sank behind the distant mountains and the sky grew dark. Mossback re- luctantly stopped, unrolled his sleeping bag and climbed into it. This time, he didn't fall asleep so quickly. He was too worried about his supply of freeze-dried flies and whether he would ever reach the North Pole in time. Finally, he dozed off. But his . dreams were haunted by visions of himself, skinny and starving, hopping slowly through a strange countryside. Next week: Mossback helps a lost squirrel. Jackson Twp. adds 4 mill special taxes By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff Although Jackson Township's basic property taxes won't go up, residents will still have to pay an extra four mills next year. ~~. The supervisors adopted a $637,818 budget with a 14-mill property tax for 1995 at their regular December 5 meeting. That is the maximum allowed rate for a second-class township. + Included in the budget are two additional taxes of one mill for road repairs and three mills to help pay off the $266,000 debt incurred when dirt contaminated by leaking oil tanks was found in front of the township building. (See separate story.) Of that debt, $197,118 is still outstanding, according to chair- man Walter Glogowski. The three mills will be abolished when the loan is paid off in April, 1999. The one mill levied for road repairs will give the township an extra $40,000 to catch up on many road projects left undone for a long time, Glogowski said. In other business, the supervi- sors voted to: e Accept the resignation of township emergency management coordinator Rollie Evans with regret. * Approve the first reading of a soliciting ordinance requiring that all transient merchants register with the township secretary, pro- vide a photo and vehicle license number, be fingerprinted, pass a police background check and post a $1,500 surety bond. Registra- tion fees will be either $50 per day or $300 per year. Non-profit or- ganizations are exempt from the fees. ¢ Cancel the December 26 work session.

Owned by Robert and Ruth Post, the six-lot subdivision lo- cated on an existing dirt road off Highland Boulevard and West Center Hill Road received prelimi- nary approval October 13. The site is zoned R-1 for single family homes and will include more than 400 feet of paved road. “This is an old subdivision which was never finished,” said Stanley Dysleski of the Luzerne County Planning Division. “It origi- nally called for eight lots, but the owners redesigned it for six lots of at least half an acre. Cretona Ave. | is actually a dirt road which will be upgraded and paved.” The subdivision is served by public water and sewer, Dysleski said. The county will accept the subdivision if the solicitor and engineer approve a performance bond guaranteeing that develop- ment will begin within a year, he added. by Grace R.
