Tullytown Borough has paid not three councilmen but four during the past two years for attending meetings from which they really were absent, borough records revealed today. However, the fourth member of council.

Three other councilmen, according to disclosures made yesterday, also failed to attend regular meetings of the council in this two- year-period, were paid anyhow' despite a pi-ovision in the borough code to the and did cash their checks. In fact, William DePasquale, borough treasurer, said today that during the past eight years the borough has paid its council members for everj' meeting, without consideration for w'hether they attended meetings or not. The borough code states in 5 (Continued from page 1) Section 1001, compensation shall be paid in any month to a councilman who has failed to attend at least one regular meeting of council during the Tul- lytovm holds only one regular meeting each month. Pay, the maximum permitted in the borough code for a borough the size of Tullytown, is $20 meeting.

PiroUi was unable to attend the meetings of December, 1960, and May, 1961. Checks Mailed Checks were mailed to him following each meeting. In August of this year, when the check drawn in December, 1960, still had not been cashed, DePasquale voided it. The check mailed in May, 1961, also has not been cashed as yet. Officials of the Fidelity-Piiila- delphia Trust w'hich handles the Tullytown general account, said today that a check withheld for six months or longer would not be honored.

Present at last meeting, Gallagher said, were Representatives James Prendergast, Gus Verona and Jeanette Reidman of Northampton County and Van Yetter of Monroe County.

Lawrence reported there has been no significant progress toward solving the congressional problem. He said Democrats and Republicans were no nearer an agreement and added the Democrats themselves still no party position. The Democrats were to have met Thursday to discuss ways to drop three of the 30 congressional seats.

However, that was cancelled because Lawrence has been called to Washington that day to sign the $500 million Delaware River basin compact. He will sign the pact along with the governors of New York, New Jersey and Delaware and President Kennedy. This was the second cancellation of a Democratic reapportionment meeting.
