questions she should ask applicants for the position of Borough Clerk. It
was recommended that she should ask: 1. Reason for leaving present employ -
ment 2. Inquiry to present employer 3. Atleast two other references
4. Present salary. It was suggested by Mr. Sutliff that the Borough should
get someone who could get along with people and who had a good knowledge of
Borough government. There was sane discussion. Mrs. Hajdu will ask the
applicants if they will be available for interview at their own expense.
B. Resignation of Borough Chairman

fact that she felt the amount of time spent was completely inpraportionate

time researching and wing. The Asse bly then failed to take the
information obtained into consideration before reaching its decisions.
After some discussion, it was noted that the hour was past 11 :00 PM and
