Jennings, J.

Bowden Northrup and Edmund J. McCul-lough, go out of office January 6. This factor was pointed up at their meeting at the courthouse yesterday when Jennings and Mc-Cullough told Atty. Frank Town-end, head of the county's Civil Defense, that money presently is not available for the purchase of 230 metal posts on which evacuation signs are to be hung. Commissioner Northrup is recuperating al home from an illness and was absent.

Attorney Townend told the com missioners that the Civil De'ense! unit had borrowed about 50 metal! I posts from Wilkes-Barre and hasi posted evacuation route signs in various par of the county. How ever, ne added, the city will not loan out any more posts. Unless Civil Defense is authorized to purchase them, the evacuation signs won't be posted that is, those still remaining said Townend. Commissioner Jennings announced that all purchases by the county have been stopped due to the county's condition" except for emergency needs. However, he added, the Civil Defense requisition for the posts will be kept on hand and a release for the purchase given as soon as possible.

He said the situation would be reviewed within a week or two. "Our receipts are lower than anticipated," commented Jennings. "We don't want to spend if we do nt have to." Townend showed dissatisfaction with the commissioners' stand and stated "I'd like to set the signs up." He added that the supplier would be willing to hold off sending a bill until next year. It was brought out that plans call for having George Dennis, West Wyoming, supply 250 metal posts at total cost Attorney Townend also stated that the General Accounting Office of the Federal Government is seek- ing return of $4,300 from Civil De- unit had not qualified for such payment at the time it had received the monies.
