You also must deter- mine the validity of the titles to the lake bed and study various deeds let out over the years.” Questions of liability and re- sponsibility for water quality must also be studied, he added. The council appointed Martin Noon, Frank Andrews and Jo- seph Miscavage to help McCormick review the plan. Mis- cavage doesn't own a dock, while Noon and Andrews both do.

Cop's theft hearing set for Aug. 23 By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff KINGSTON TOWNSHIP - A police officer accused of taking $106.90 from a sealed envelope in a locked evidence room will have a preliminary hearing before Dis- trict Justice Fred Pierantoni at the Pittston City Hall August 23 at 2:30 p.m. According to arrest warrant affadavits, patrolman Robert Weiss, 34, was arrested June 6 by Luzerne County detective lieuten- ant Gary Sworen after Weiss admitted to chiefJames Balavage that he had “borrowed” the money in mid-March to make a payment on his Chevrolet Blazer truck. He was charged with one count of theft by unlawful taking when he was arraigned before District Magistrate James Tupper, which carries a maximum fine of $5,000 and/or two years in prison. He was released on $500 bail. Weiss has been suspended with pay since his arrest. Both Tupper and District Mag- istrate Andrew Barilla recused themselves from the preliminary hearing because they know Weiss.

She suggested the township consider donating 16¢ per book borrowed by township residents, which amounts to 4,500 items each year, or about $720. Lehman Township presently doesn’t donate anything to the library, Wheeler said. “That's not a lot of money,” Sutton said. “It's a very fair amount,” added supervisor Doug Ide. The supervisors said they would consider a donation when they work on next year's budget. Treasurer Al Cragle said he will bill Lake-Lehman School District for school crossing guard services at $10 per shift, two shifts per day during the school year, and $22 per event for police services at football games, dances and other school events.
