Secretary 126 S. Bellevue Langhorne, Pa. By PAUL ALTAIRE Courier-Times Staff Writer Lower Southampton's new chairman of the Board of Supervisors, S.J. Mirabello, has asked the indulgence of township citizens for the next few weeks while the three new members of the board familiarize themselves with township business. The new members, which make up the first five- man board the township has ever had, are George Owens, George Bentz and secretary treasurer Harry Fritz.

request was made at a meeting of the board Monday, the first since the new board took office last week at a reorganized meeting. Become Familiar Mirabello said that since there are so many matters to cover in township government, he would ask that citizens be indulgent of the new board. He said the new members would take every opportunity at their disposal to become familiar with township business and township proceedings. Most of the business of the meeting consisted of the reading of yearly reports by various departments of the township. Despite the many reports, the meet ing ended shortly before 10 p.m., less than two hours after it got under way.

Following the reading of the reports, a question about the cost of township sewers was raised by Henry Felton, a Democratic committeeman. Difference in Cost Felton wanted to know why the cost in Lower Southampton would be $7 per front foot while in neighboring Upper Southampton Township, the cost has been estimated at $6.50 per front foot. He said he understood that the reason for the higher cost was that Lower Southampton roads would have a preservative coating known as I 2 and that this was used to the roads Mirabello said that this was not a question the board could answer offhand since it involved technical knowledge and would not be answered by a layman. He said that Samuel Zack of the township engineering firm would attend the next meeting and would be able to explain in detail. Felton said he wanted to know if the I 2 was necessary.

He said the additional cost could be a hardship to persons who have up to 100-foot frontages, because of the additional cost. Road Paving William Allen, Republican committeeman from West Two District said the reason Upper cost per front foot is lower is because under their contract for sewers, the roads would not be paved. Allen said upon completion of the Upper Southampton sewer project, that township would first have to pave its own roads. Former supervisor Camill A. Stroh, asked for the floor and explained that many roads in Lower Southampton need servicing as well as curbs.

He said that in many township, after a year or years, the roads begin to sag. He said the use of the preservative in the township was incorporated in the plans to eventually save money. Stroh said that with the I 2, roads would last five or six years. He said also that Upper Southampton probably has had road surfacing jobs dont more recently than Lower Southampton and that therefore such a preservative may not be needed there. He said that while the cost may be higher at this time, in the long run it would probably save money.

Provide Answers Mirabello said the matter would be discussed fully when Zack attends the meeting and provides the technical answers to the question put by Felton. The board also explained in answer to a question by Fred Trage- mann, that three of the six township crew men were now employed by the Penn Sanitation Company, which hired the men when the township decided to let out a contract for rubbish and garbage collection to that firm. Three of other men remained with the township, working as drivers and on roads. L. Sewer Project Is Under Way Lower Southampton $5,050,000 sewer project officially got under way this wetek when five contractors moved their equipment and men into strategic points throughout the township.

Although a groundbreaking ceremony for the project has bfcen slated for Saturday, preliminary work by the contractors started Monday. The Lower Southampton Municipal Authority, under which the sewers will be built, has invited all persons to attend the groundbreaking at Trevose Road and Po- quessing Creek. The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. and refresh, ments will be served. Dividing Line At the rfecent meeting, the solicitor was instructed to contact the Bensalem Township Board of Supervisors regarding sewer service along Brownsville Road.

The road serves both Bensalem and Lower Southampton and is the dividing line between the two townships. The authority now seeks to obtain office space for project and plans to discuss the matter with the board of supervisors. In addition, it plans to secure the services of an auditor, a general manager and a clerk-stenographer. NEA Speaker Farm Front iRPET SINCE 1898 OPEN EVERY NIGHT TO 9 P.M. BUY DIRECT FROM ALEXANDER SAVE CARPET SALE off AND MORE Fuli Freeman Holding Line On Supports WASHINGTON (UPI) Secretary of Agriculture Orville L.

Freeman apparently has adopted a hold the line philosophy on price supports in an attempt to slow or halt the rising cost of farm programs in 1962. Freeman announced with no fanfare that price supports on cotton, rice, peanuts, dry beans and honey for 1962 would be the same as in 1961. A year ago the support prices for all these commodities were raised substantially over I960 levels. The 1961 action was hailed as a boon to farmers. The higher supports played an important part iin upping farm income an estimated 9 per cent in 1961 Unless cash receipts from marketings go up considerably this year, another such increase in farm income is not likely.

The budget-conscious view displayed in the announcements ties in with recent speculation that Freeman has been under pressure to reduce the cost of farm programs. There bad been some speculation that because of heavier taxpayer expense he might be forced to reduce some price supports. The supports announced were cotton, 31.88 cents per pound; rice. $4,71 per hundredweight; and honey, 11.2 cents per pound. The Department said the support rate for middling 1-inch cotton would be determined when loan differentials for the different qualities of cotton are determined.

Still to be announced are supports for oilseeds, feed grains, dairy products ann tobacco. It is expected that rice will be pushed as a leading commodity in the Food for Peace Program. Beans, supported at the same rate as last year, likely to be a surplus problem. They are being used heavily in welfare and school lunch programs. James G.

Patton, president of the National Farmers Union, has told reporters there is no break between his organization and Secretary Freeman. Patton said he is completely satisfied that Freeman is doing all be can to raise farm income. He added that he thinks the Department will be able just to hold the line this year to keep 1962 net farm income at the 1961 level. The Bensalem Township Education Association will meet in the high school auditorium tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. to hear an address by Dr.

Her topic will be: Its Past, Present and Arnold Ody, president of the BTEA urged members to attend the meeting, and invited educators from other districts. Firemen Concerned Street Road Split May Cause Problem Suggested plans to split Street Road in Feasterville into two separate roadways was the subject of great concern by the Feasterville Fire Company, it was disclosed last night. Feasterville Fire Chief Robert Price pointed out at a meeting of the board of supervisors, that, should Street Road be converted into two sections, Feasterville fire trucks would have to, buck traffic for more than a block to reach Bustleton Pike. Under the plans to divide Street Road while westbound traffic would use Irving Place.

The fire house is located on Irving Place, a block west of Bustleton Pike. Study Needed The supervisors and Police Chief Edward F. Wunsch said that some measures could be taken to elim- nate the problem, but that a study would have to be made to determine what would be the most practical answer. One suggestion was that traffic lights could have installations such as were recently put into effect in Bensalem Township. That township now has antennas atop traffic lights, which upon a signal from an approaching police car or fire truck, regulate the light to give the oncoming emergency vehicle a green signal.

A suggestion was also made that perhaps the township could use a system, popular in some cities in the country, where during a fire emergency, all traffic lights turn to red in the area fire trucks are traveling.
