CONSIGNING 





AVOCA - Borough OKs cosigning bond for new vehicle &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The borough council Thursday approved cosigning a $100,000 15-year bond to
help pay for a 1993 emergency vehicle. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also cosigning is the Avoca Hose Company. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The bond comes from the Avoca branch of PNC Bank at an annual interest rate
of 2 percent. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The fire department will be assessed $643.51 per month, and the final
payment will be due in 2009. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The total cost of the new vehicle, which Avoca has been using for several
months, is $200,000. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Weather has strained the borough's finances, said Mayor James Haddock. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The borough has spent $30,000 in snowplowing, rental of equipment and
private contractors. He said the borough hopes the state or federal government
will help out with some of the expenses. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Engineer Jack DeFazio agreed weather has posed some problems for the
borough. He said ice jams on Mill Creek could pose flooding problems for some
nearby homes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 There are three problems areas: Culvert No. 1, adjacent to Kerr-McGee Yard;
Culvert No. 2, the York Avenue Bridge area, and Culvert No. 3, 1,200 feet
Northeast of York Avenue. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 DeFazio said he is worried that in the Kerr-McGee area, water could flood
about 20 homes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Councilwoman Maryann Tigue said there was water damage at the community
center and the borough's insurance company will be notified. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In other business it was announced that only five or six residents are
delinquent with their 1993 garbage payments.
