ESU professor named in Biblical Who's Who Dr. Philip Pfatteicher, professor of English at East Stroudsburg University, has been nominated for inclusion in the first edition of Who's Who in Biblical Studies and Archaeology to be published by the Biblical Archaeology Society.

Dr. Pfatteicher joined the ESU faculty in 1968. He received his un said. This year, he said, senior citizens who need help removing things from their cupboards and placing them in the center of the room so crews can spray effectively will be assisted, but will be charged for that help. The authority discussed at length the issue of charging for the assistance and directed Smith to keep any charges as low as possible.

Smith said charges were levied in 1983. He said the roach problem rated a "drastic three" on a scale of 1 to 10 because there had been no reports of roaches in authority buildings since spraying started back in October 1983. Smith said he suspected part of the reason for the recurrence was that senior citizens were not required to empty their cupboards during spraying last fall. Smith said the exterminator's contract guarantees freedom from infestation for a year and provides for treatment of areas during the year after the initial fall treatment Units reporting problems have already been treated, he said. Smith said the extra $50,000 for the smoke alarms is necessary be town's garbage disposal problems.

During a workshop session last week, council had asked Miller to attend a freeholder's meeting and ask the county to write a letter to Hunterdon County, seeking permission for Phillipsburg to be able to use a waste transfer station there. Miller has estimated that use of the station could cut Phillipsburg's trash disposal costs by as much as 25 percent Rummerfield said he felt it would be more effective to have a separate discussion instead of attending the freeholders meeting. Phillipsburg currently must truck its trash to Lackawanna County, a 150-mile round trip. Council also unanimously introduced an ordinance that will impose a sewer moratorium as ordered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection because of problems with the Phillipsburg sewage treatment plant The moratorium will prohibit sewer line extensions carrying more than 2,000 gallons of sewage per day unless they are given express permission by Town Council and they conform to certain conditions. Miller told Council that the ordinance will allow the installment of sewer pipes in anticipation of the end of the moratorium as long as they are not used.

The ordinance, which will be scheduled for a bearing and final adoption Oct 1, is more strict than regulations the town originally thought would be mandated by the state. Council also beard a complaint from Austin Trimmer, vice-president of the WarrenHunterdon Labor Council, about its decision two dergrade degree from Amherst College, Master of Sacred Theology degree from Union Seminary in New York City and Master of Divinity degree from Philadelphia Seminary.

The cost for installing the alarms is now over $130,000, Smith said. The deputy executive director of the Annapolis, housing authority is tentatively set to visit the authority early next month to review the authority's computer needs. Board member La Wanda Givler said David Boyd was viewed as an expert in the computer field and pushed for his visit.

The authority has already issued requests for proposals for a computer system. "I don't want a computer company," Givler told her fellow authority members and Smith. "I want an expert I want him contacted, and I want him up here." J. L. Heller of Blue BelL Montgomery County, told the authority recently that computerizing operations was feasible.

Housing authori- ties in Chester County, Lancaster and York joined Easton in hiring Heller to complete feasibility studies on their operations. weeks ago to advertise for a town public safety director. Trimmer, who spoke against a public safety director at that meeting, said, "If there is a problem with the police department, set up a meeting with the chief and lay out a format I don't think council did its homework on this." Trimmer said he spoke for more than 4,000 members of organized labor in Warren County. But Councilman Christopher Wameling, who favors hiring a public safety director, said as he has in the past "This public safety director is different from the police chief. We are not advocating a new police chief or firing the current one." Advertisements for a public safety director are supposed to be placed beginning next month in trade publications, but no salary will be specified.

Council has said it does not envision hiring anyone until next year. Council also decided, after lengthy discussion, to include an unused dental trailer in a public sale of surplus property Sept 28, but to set a minimum price of $4,000. Miller said he has tried to get someone locally to appraise the trailer, but has been unsuccessful The trailer has sat unused since it was purchased seven or eight years ago for a school dental hygiene program that never got off the ground. Rummerfield said the town should at least get back the $4,000 it paid for the trailer. Miller said be has received an offer in the past year of $2,000 from one individual, adding that otherwise, "I can't find anyone who wants to use it" Applications available for work in state parks Easton's Job Service office is accepting applications for job openings with the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps.

In July, Smith said he expected to have some word on this year's CIAP application between Aug. 15 and Oct.

15. The 1985 request is aimed at a general reconditioning of 278 units in the Delaware Terrace and Delaware Terrace Annex housing areas. In other contract matters, Buckl-Jankowski, Easton, was awarded an $1,820 contract to design changes to the roof of the Walter House. Smith said the roof if leaking and needs to be insulated.

J.T. Baker's 1978 appeal reduced its taxes by $110,000. The decision to fight the appeals with outside help was approved unanimously by council during a meeting during which a total of $118,000 in emergency appropriations were approved to help the town through the rest of this year.

Of that amount $40,000 will be used to cover sludge disposal costs. $25,000 will go toward maintenance costs, such as electricity and heating fuel and $57,000 will be directed toward legal expenses, including the contracts for Chaiken and Rosen-Slum. The emergency appropriations approved last night added to money approved earlier to handle trash disposal and to hire two policemen under the state Supplemental Safe and Clean Program, bring the total for the year to $320,781. If that amount has to be made op entirely through property taxes next year, it would translate to roughly 15-cents per $100 of assessed value That prompted councilman Chris topher Wameling to say, Taxes are going up, there no question about it The only question is bow much."
