HUGHESTOWN — Councilwoman Marie Griglock on Monday night proposed researching an ordinance such as those used by other municipalities concerning the repair of properties after a fire. The measure would promote the upkeep of properties in the borough.

She mentioned ordinances that call for a percentage of the insurance for homeowners to be awarded after a property is repaired. This ordinance would compel property repairs within Hughestown, she said.

Another ordinance discussed at the meeting concerned the plan to merge the sewer systems of Pittston and Hughestown.

Responding to resident questions, Mayor Paul Hindmarsh said the borough is working on an agreement with Pittston. Further plans will be developed after an agreement between the city and borough is complete.

It was also announced that the Hughestown Hose Company will hold its Good Friday Fish Fry on April 22 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.. The event will include fried fish, pizza, raffles and the Easter Bunny.

Tickets are $8 each.
