Township weighs liquor rules and cable service faults
Metal Commissioner Mc Crossan stressed the liquor ordinance does not reflect on local businesses dealing in prohibited items. Commissioners discussed limiting liquor outlets and urged preparation for governor’s plan to shift liquor sales to private stores. Debate over ACP and Delaware County Cable TV service followed with concerns about energizing lines and nondelivery in districts. Cronin noted performance bonds of $50,000 required from both cable firms and potential breach of contract if terms are not met.

Pollution spill near Darby Creek prompts testing and potential fines
Investigators traced an oil sheen along a two creeks corridor near Eagle and Reed roads to a downstream influence by Union Paving Co. but EPA officials say the spill is minor. Darby Creek feeds Tinicum Marsh, a key wildlife preserve, making cleanup urgent. Coast Guard teams test samples and plan cross checks with nearby industrial sites to identify the source for possible penalties up to five thousand dollars per day.
