nam County Corn Festival got underway. ■‘This is the kind of crowd we like,” Bonnie Lou remarked as she was joined by Miss Sharp for the closing toe-tapper “Travel On.” “You’re really our kind of people here in Greencastle-really down to earth," the singer said. For the crowd it was an evening of top notch entertainment laced with favorite numbers from the Cliff Lash Trio, who accompanied the two stars from the Paul Dixon TV show, and interjected with finely drawn humor. A highlight of the show was the “Las Vegas Number” which Miss Sharp said she had to do
because other female stars, when playing in Las Vegas, entertains with a male chorus line and as a finale to the number, the woman is lifted by the men above their heads and carried from the stage. For her chorus line, she volunteered Bob Mathews, Jim Grimes, Howell Bell, Ken Eitel, Jr. and Mike Goad. The group, with some encouragement from the singer, did raise and carry Miss Sharp from the stage to the delight of the audience. Another highlight came when Lash, who attended DePauw University for a few years in the 1930’s, soloed in an up-beat number.

Fisher Comments On Chamber Of Commerce Letter; Says New Hall Plus Efficiency
Greencastle Mayor Ray Fisher stressed recently that "there is no reason for delay” in the financial report from Benjamin Lewis and Company on the city’s proposed new city hall. The Chicago based firm is the bonding agent for the structure. "It takes a certain amount of time to go through all this,” Fisher said concerning the report which at one time was set to be in city officials’ hands more than 30 days ago. Fisher added, though, that the bond issue would be for 2 percent of the assessed value of the city which would come to, he said, approximately $265,000. "The tax levy, would be set by what we sell the bond for and the longevity of the issue,” he said. The mayor then answered broadly and generally the recent open letter for the Greencastle Chamber of Commerce concerning questions raised on the new hall and city street curb work. He did not deal with all individual questions. Fisher answered the chamber's query as to the need for a new structure by noting that the present building was “condemned 17 years ago.” "No initiative has been taken concerning bring the county and city together for common,” the mayor said on the possibility of common utilization of facilities and equipment of the two local governmental bodies, because “of legalities." On the chamber inquiry about efforts that the city made to solicit comment or to inform citizens about what is to be spent on the new building, the mayor said that the city "published a notice about the buying of a lot for the building.” The city bought the parking lot adjacent to the present city hall to expand the present site for use on the new structure. Answering the chamber's questions as to how the planned
hall “stacks up” in terms of priorities when measured against such issues as sewers, water, streets, curbs, beautification, parking and tax reduction, the mayor said the building would “combine all city departments in one building for efficiency.” He then noted that the city has “one of the finest sewer plants in the state” but that it has to be enlarged to extend sewer lines outside the city and that the new city hall would “beautify the city.” "Our water system is one of the finest in the state. The curbs need attention and the city council is working to that end.” “We don't need any more parking lots at the present time,” the mayor said and added that the present city lot on the northwest corner of the square is “never full.” On tax reduction, Fisher said it would be impossible at present time due to “rises in the standard of living and so forth.” The mayor added that the city had a building architect check the Putnam County Hospital for possible use as a city hall and he said the “architect’s estimates were that it would cost as much to change to an adequate city hall as it would be build a new one.” On the question of whether the Clyde Williams and Associates Master Plan for the city pointed out the priority for a city hall, Fisher said the plan did “suggest that the city build one but it gave no cost.” Architect-tor the work, Consoer Morgan Architects was chosen to do the work, because “they’ve done business with us before.” The mayor added that the city sewer plan for upgrading the present city plant has been approved by state board of health and recommended to the Environmental Protection Agency.
