This, the Secretary, pointed out, is the lowest percentage of unemployment in the ara since current statistical reporting was begun. "You have shown what can be done with an all-out combined state and local effort," Tabor said.

He also pointed out that "there is still much to be done. Now get your second wind and let's go forward to bring unemployment down further and to continue generating jobs for Penna. CAN-DO and the citizens of Greater Hazleton Area today were praised and credited with playing major roles in the reduction of unemployment in this region to its lowest point since records first were kept in 1949. In a telegram to Dr. Edgar L.

Dessen, president of CAN-DO, and to Mayor Joseph B. Conahan, State Secretary of Commerce John K. Tabor offered his "heartiest congratulations to you and all citizens and workers" of the Hazleton-Wilkes-Barre labor market area on the reduction of un A graduate of Hazleton High School, he has completed courses in engineering, management, industrial psychology and personnel administration given by the Pennsylvania State University, American Management Association and the Methods Engineering Council.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER SO, 1964 PAGE 15 Wilbur J. Evans Fenno Named Commander County Commissioners in Wrangle Over Reassessment Project Staff Local Ruling Upheld by Top Court The Pennsylvania Supreme Prior to 1961, he had been for 17 years manager of the Dorr-Oliver plant in this city. In that position, he negotiated and administered the collective bargaining con tracts with the unions representing Dorr-Oliver employes. Was C-C Leader From 1956 to 1959 he was president of the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce and helped to organize the successful industrial development program here.

He also served as president of the Hazleton Rotary Club and was active in many civic affairs. Court yesterday filed an opinion which upheld the decision of the Luzerne County Court that no partnership existed in the operation of a local meat-packing ers for adoption on a countywide basis. The commissioners, before adopting it finally, will take it under advisement by conferring with the solicitor and the county engineer to see if any changes will be necessary. A public hearing also is required for final adoption by firm. Frederick Kreisl was the ap the commissioners.

Leib, the commissioners voted to bor i mrmmum Leona G. and Frederick Kreisl, trading as Kreisl brothers. 1 i i i 1 coal lands will continue to go down at the depletion rate of 4 per cent each year. "While everyone else is getting a change in his tax figures, it is possible that the coal companies next year will be paying 50 to 60 per cent less than the tax bill this year," Wideman said.

"That is not fair, and coal company assessments should be up accordingly," he added. Post acknowledged he didn't know how the assessors were handling the coal assessments and said the coal and mining engineers were working on it to determine the value of coal property. With Wideman objecting, Commissioners Post and William Goss voted to reopen the county courthouse for a half-day on Saturdays to permit the transaction of county business. Post said starting this Saturday skeleton forces will be on hand to take care of business. Any employes working Saturdays will be given equal time off during the week.

Daily hours of offices under the commissioners'' jurisdiction will continue to be 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wideman said the county had been working for 50 years from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and there has been no need to increase the hours of employes.

He contended the employes actually had been given a cut in pay by increasing their work by five hours per week, but Post disagreed as to the pay cut. Edward Heiselberg, director of the County Planning Commission, presented a copy of a county zoning ordinance to the commission to see if everything is fair and just. "Although the letters are going out to property owners today, we have no reason to believe that the men no longer will be needed. They will be required to go out and check all odds and ends before they are relieved. The men have been working days, nights and Sundays to keep the assessment program on schedule and we will not drop them abruptly now that the figures are completed." Wideman also demanded to know what has been done about new assessments on coal lands.

He made the prediction that while the assessment figures of county taxpayers may go from $220 million to $350 million, the current assessment figure of $15,413,900 on The Luzerne County Tax Equalization and Reassessment Program is being completed today at a cost of nearly $2 million, but that does not necessarily mean an immediate drastic reduction in the number of employes hired to put it into effect, Luzerne County Commissioner James B. Post declared at the commissioners' meeting this morning in answer to a query put to him by Minority Commissioner Edmund C. Wideman. "The board of assessors will prepare a list of the people who can be eliminated," Post said, "but we will continue to retain a good many to keep the program current. "We do not know how many appeals there will be.
