The registrars were originally scheduled to be in those two sectors on Wednesday, Feb. 16.

A heavy snowfall caused cancellation of the visits, acording to Jacob Papcrman, chief clerk to the county commissioners. Paperman noted the registrars would be located in the Tresckow School and in the Beaver Meadows Borough Hall for the convenience of the voters in those two areas on March 1.

The new concern is currently fil The Luzerne County Court En Banc, in a decision filed yesterday, affirmed and made absolute a Board of View award of consequential damages in the amount of $10,000 to Philip P. Pane and his wife, Mary, of Hartland Park.

The case involved a new legal approach to obtaining compensation for property owners whose property is Injured but not actually condemned for a public improvement. The consequential damages resulted from the widening and reconstruction of Route 29 through the Hartland Park area near Conyngham Pass.

It was from this ruling that the Commonwealth appealed, claiming there were no damages in as much as any consequential damages must take place when plans for the new construction are filed. It was the contention of the property owners that the damage occurred when the actual construction was done, and that the award and ruling of the board therefore should stand.
