N. Franklin Approves Fireman Stipend

North Franklin Supervisors met Tuesday evening and approved two ordinances. One ordinance will offer a stipend of twenty dollars to each qualified fireman who answers a call. Supervisor Chairman Bob Sabot says that the $20 per person per call will be paid quarterly and come from township funds. No tax increase is necessary for this stipend. Supervisors officially dissolved the North Franklin Township Recreation and Business Improvement Authority. The township will now take responsibility of all property and assets that once fell under the Authority’s responsibility. Work continues on West Chestnut Street to repair the storm drain that causes flooding near Franklin Farms Road. Work should be complete at the end of September. The township also announced that the township’s clean up day is October 17 from 10-2. Fall leaf pick up will begin October 19 and run through November 30. Halloween is scheduled for October 31 from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm.
