With spring in the air, and
’he first robin on his way, the
borough decided to get., in the
spirit of things with a new
coat of paint for the borough
offices.
Work began bright and early
on Tuesday morning when the
borough work crew turned up
at the main office armed With
paint, rollers, step ladders, and
a decorator approved color
scheme. ;
The only question now is
jus t how many rooms they
are going to he painting.
Borough Manager Keith
Arms trong has asked the Fire
Company to allow the borough
to use their TV room as an
additional office.
However, until the Fire Co
trustees and the borough meet
tomorrow, no plans can fx
made for the present TV room
Under the council approved
plan tlie borough will paint all
of the offices; give the floors
a scrubbing down; and per­haps
purchase false d rap e s for
the main office.
The pictures, which decorat­ed
the borough offices for- some
years, will be stored until a
civic organization is found to
take care of them.
The borough offices were
last painted in 1905 when Dave
Bauer became borough man ag ­er.
The two main rooms have
been in use since 1950 while
the police room was put Into
service in 1957.
However the main office
room has served as a council
meeting room since 1917. V"
As th e color scheme stands
now the main room will.,-tie
sand and beige with a white
ceiling; the police room wijl
be green with white wood
work; and the TV room, if
permission is given for its-us«,
will be yellow with white wood
work. ...........
