Travers Deferral Sheds Light On Councilman Defense
After heated debate in the Burnside Building the Town Council delayed action allowing Councilman Richard Travers to file an affidavit challenging charges that he violated the charter. GOP chair George Cooper had petitioned to deem Travers’ seat vacant for holding a paid town job and serving as liaison between the council and the recreation department. The Board of Canvassers referred the matter to the council, with Cooper questioning the council’s authority and charter gaps noted in the discussion.

Rail purchase near reality as appraisal approved
The town council accepted a 162000 private appraisal for Penn Central waterfront property on Thames Street. Original budget covered 140000 with 14000 paid earlier. 126000 balance added in the 1975 76 plan. Funds to cover the 22000 increment come from ferry Nike site money and federal revenue sharing rather than new taxes. The land, partly underwater, may become a park marina or shops with potential leasing by Hawkins and Fales for a large marina. Approval by the federal bankruptcy court in Philadelphia is required.
