Own Request Taxes on a property at 61 Souta Church street. An ordinance introduced on first reading last night divided the city into three fire districts and autho rized the use of three-digit num. bers on some call boxes. Fire Chief Paul Zieglcr explained that the increase in the number of fire alarm boxes as the city expands had made the move necessary. "We have run out of two-number calls and must go to three-number, boxes," said the chief.

Under the new plan, District One will extend from Buttonwood street to Diamond avenue with the Pioneer and East End Companies answering calls. District Two will be from Diamond avenue north to the city's boundaries, with the Diamond and Fourteenth Ward Companies responding to all calls. East End Company and Heights Fire Company will respond to calls in the Third "District which will cover the Heights, Terrace and No. 6 Hill sectors. The first number of the three digits will designate the fire dis-trict while the other two numbers will designate the location.

Council's next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 19. During June, July and August one meeting a month is regularly scheduled with the semi-monthly schedule resuming in September. Asks Rejection Of Whitaker Plea District Attorney Harry W. Light-stone has petitioned the Superior Court to dismiss the appeal of Matthew Whitaker and James Whitak-er, his son of from a denial of the Schuylkill County Court that he be suspended in pro-secuting the two Whitakers on assault charges. The Schuylkill Court, sitting en banc (all judges presiding) denied a petition of Atty.

Ralph M. Ba-shore, representing the two Whitakers, that a special deputy attorney general be appointed to prosecute cases against the father and son instead of Lightstone. The elder Whitaker is awaiting trial on charges of assault with intent to kill, aggravated assault and battery plus two counts of assault and battery.

PA3 5101 Hazleton-W-B Highway To Patrolman at (Continued From Page One) Resigns As Lieutenant In a letter to the mayor, Lieutenant Kramer asked that his status revert to the post he held before his promotion to lieutenant. For many years, Kramer was a patrolman on traffic duty. Effective May 28, Kramer will be restored to the traffic post, said the mayor, adding he was taking the step "with regret" and only because Kramer requested it.

"He has always been a' fine officer who did a first class job." Conahan commented. Although no announcement was made, it was learned that Desk Sergeant John Yackshaw will succeed Kramer in the lieutenant's post. Decision Due Soon When Councilman Thomas Powell asked what action will be taken now that the court has ruled new Recreation Board appointments illegal, Mayor Conahan said no decision has been made, but will be made soon. "The decision has just been received and I have not had a chance to talk to the solicitor," the mayor said: "We will clear it up as soon as possible," he added, "because we don't want to do anything to jeopardize the recreation program here." Wants Larger Light Petitioners from the Hazle street and North court area asked Council to install a larger street light there, and another petition asked for installation of a street light at Fifth and Monges streets. Nick Veet, one of the Monges street petitioners, praised the mayor and Councilman Edmund Ferdinand for their fast action on his request several weeks ago for street improvements.

"We'll give you even more praise now if you install a street light," Veet declared. The Pennsylvania Power and ught Company was directed to install a street light at the intersection of Seventeenth street and Manhattan court. A refund of $14.70 was authorized to Anthony Persico for duplicate payment of 1962 City Property Injuries Again Defer Enlistment Joseph Bray, 534 South Wyoming street, is a patriotic man-but there are limitations. Several weeks ago, on the eve of his being sworn into the Army, Bray burned his arm while filling a cigarette lighter and his enlistment had to be deferred. All set to enter the military life, Bray decided last Friday he would go horseback riding as a pre induction lark.

The horse apparently was not a braying horse, and Bray was thrown, suffering severe injuries to both arms. His induction. Deferred again. But Bray has not become discouraged, nor has he decided to try another branch of the service in a situation that many would consider ominous. When he finally does don the Army uniform, he'll be sent to Hawaii.

If a pineapple were to fall on Bray there, he'll probably accept it with a fatalistic attitude. What else could a good Army man do?

Turnpike State Troopers John Artuso and Albert DeStefano iden tified the driver as Richard Achuff, 99 James street, Shavertown. Achuff was traveling north, toward Wilkes-Barre, from Philadelphia, when he lost control of the tractor-trailer. The vehicle was loaded with as phalt.

The tractor section was owned by Berman Leasing Com pany, Wilkes-Barre, and the tank trailer was owned by Mathers Construction Company, Luzerne. After Achuff lost control, the truck hit the medial strip and crossed into the southbound lanes. It then jack-knifed and flipped over on its side. The vehicle burst into flames after crossing the medial strip and Achuff leaped from the blazing cab. He was un hurt.

State Police speculated that the "saddle tanks" located at each side of the tractor section caused the fire when they apparently burst into flame after they struck the medial strip. The truck was towed away but asphalt covered 50-60 feet of the highway, tying up traffic for about one and one-half hours. The accident occurred at 5:20 a.m. at mile post 78.7, four miles north of Pocono Interchange.

Jim Thorpe Council To Buy Water Company Jim Thorpe Borough Council met in special session and unanimously approved the purchase of the Mauch Chunk Water Company for $350,000 and the Upper Mauch Chunk Water Company for $90,000, totaling $440,000.

Solicitor Durnin explained the two agreements incident to the dual purchase of the utility companies. The Mauch Chunk Water Company serves the Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth Wards. The Upper Mauch Chunk Water Company serves those in the Fifth Ward, or the Heights. Approval of the purchase prices and adoption of ordinances relating to the sale paves the way for the Water Authority to effect formal purchase through a bond issue. The proposed bond issue will be of the 40-year amortization type and will be liquidated by a special fund to be set up by the Authority, its payment coming from future service charges.

The agreement with the Mauch 'Chunk utility firm fixes June 1 as the date for the filing of the necessary bonds, July 1 being the date for the Upper Mauch Chunk company transaction. The sale of the Upper Mauch Chunk firm is conditioned upon the purchase of the Mauch Chunk utility group, according to a clause in one of the agreements.

Laurel street I (Continued From Page One) in addition to other items of maintenance and supply deemed necessary by the school board. A taxpayer's group that has met a number of times with the school board to protest any increase in the property tax rate opposed inclusion of the above expenditures in this year's budget. Latest deletions in budget costs to reduce a former 4.1 mill deficit to the 3.5 mill figure were as follows: Elimination of the need for an elementary teacher for the Hazleton Heights School, reduction in cost estimate for teaching supplies, saving effected through retirement of school nurse, resignation of cafeteria employe who will not be replaced, total reduction, $12,331. Distribution of the 36.5 mills places 35.5 mills for general school purposes and one mill for use of the Hazleton Public Library Association. Director Tomasick announced, prior to the voting, that he intended to vote against budget adoption and noted it would be the first such action on his part as a school board member.

He said last night's voting session was the 17th in which he participated. Asks Deferment Tomasick recommended that increases in teacher's salaries be deferred for another year until other means of taxation might be arranged. He claimed pay raises for teachers at the minimum (now raised to $4,000) and maximum (those who have reached the top $5,800 salary mandated by the state), left a large number of instructors in "middle" brackets who will not receive added compensation next year. (State mandated increments of $200, however, will be receiv ed.) Tomasick also objected to the budget's provisions because it ig nored increases for non-profession al people on the school district! staff. The director claimed recommen from the Hazleton Tax payers group, such as amortizing cost of the D.

A. Harman Douer over a two-year period, were also hv-nassed. Stating that he favored salary raisps for teachers but wantea oniy a 2 mill tax rise was Director Stish. Board Statement a hoard statement, which may be found in its entirety elsewhere in this edition, asreed that the property owner is bearing the brunt ot local scnooi uiiauf, and said it will begin a study of other means of taxation. The statement alleges tnat an increase in the real estate millage from 28 in 1940 to the present ic ia nAt nn unreasonable ex- pansion in view of cost-of-living inflation which has exceeded 100 per cent Mifiinpd Increases In per caic pupil supply costs which, he said, have risen from $7.50 in 1958-1959 tn a figure used in compila tion of the present budget.

At the start of the meeting, Veale read several letters re vived bv the board in support or efficient school operation. Claiming he is interested ine mointnaripp of eood school in- trnrtinn and adeauate school housing was Dr. George Dorn- blaser. The local physician saia, in the letter, that a tax equalization program opposed by the tax payer's group lour years agv would have solved the scnooi ais- trict's problems. He favored such a program, stating it is the only method of earning an equitable tax distribu tion among property owners.
