ter on the city’s east side, to continue with its May 23 closing date on the financing of the project. THE COUNCIL ALSO deleted reference to a 60-foot right-of-way in the ordinance that was designed to allow for a future nor-th-south roadway betwen Wal-Mart and the American Legion post. The ordinance did not specify on whose property that right-of-way was to be maintained and it had caused some concern by an adjacent landowner, represented Tuesday by attorney Cy Young. The Council unanimously agreed to delete the reference to the 60-foot right-of-way, likening the City Plan Commission’s thinking to the situation that foiled its attempts to reserve a location for future extension of Wood Street. IN OTHER BUSINESS Tuesday night, the City Council: --Received a petition from attorney James Houck, representing Phil and Joyce Humphreys of Humphreys’ Wheelhorse, asking for the vacation of Williams Street, an unopened thoroughfare west of Jackson Street, south of Frazier Street, north of Elizabeth Street and east of Madison Street. The vacation would allow the petitioners to expand their business, Houck said. The Council forwarded the petition to the City Plan Commission. - Advised Brad Bemis and Wayne Runnells, 611 Howard St., to take their case to the Plan Commission about closing an

then cleared the way for Price. Noting their landfill site near Russellville was governed by strict Environmental Protection Agency and State of Indiana regulations, Price offered ILWD “ground rules for conducting samplings.” Price noted the ground water at the site is “very scarce.” Citing no objections to Putnam County wanting to sample and test the ground water, Price related it would have to be done during periods when there are sufficient levels to test. THE ILWD PRESIDENT said the company would need a week’s notice from the county, if officials need to test ground water. In addition, Price said the company would like to be advised what the county’s monitoring labs will be testing for. “The last thing we want you to do, from a public relations standpoint, is to test for something that we didn’t,” Price told Health Board members. That way, if a problem should arise, the company can see if its test results are comparable and changes need to be made, or retesting should be done to make sure the first results are correct. Price also noted the company desires at least a week’s notice regarding testing of the leachate at the Russellville site. The only reason for this is because the company needs to have the correct sampling bottles at the site so it can split the sample to be tested with the county. Again, Price requested the company be advised what parameters the county will be testing the leachate for. In testing of the desiltation basins, and

City Police The intersection of Washington and Vine streets was the scene of a two-vehicle accident late Tuesday afternoon. Involved in the 5:07 p.m. mishap were a 1931 Ford, driven by Jackie Leonard, 22, Route 5, Greencastle, and a 1975 Honda, driven by Paul Walters, 16, 615 E. Washington St., Greencastle. Leonard told Capt. Ernie Newby she was stopped in traffic on Washington Street, waiting to turn left onto Vine when the Walters vehicle struck her vehicle. Walters told the officer that he was westbound on Washington Street. The driver further stated he saw the Leonard vehicle stopped but pulled up too soon. According to Walters, his vehicle struck the Leonard vehicle. Approximately SIBO in damage was sustained by a black 1984 Ford Escort owned by Mary Buis, Greencastle. The vehicle was parked in Schultz’s Family Store parking lot Tuesday evening when police said a 1985 Dodge van, driven by John Franklin, Greencastle, reportedly struck it. According to police, Franklin stopped to check the damage on the Buis vehicle and left the scene. No charges were filed against Franklin as of Wednesday morning, police said. Greencastle Fire Dept. Firemen were called to Eventide Rest Home, 1306 S. Bloomington St., Greencastle, where a light overheated sometime before 7:56 a.m. Tuesday. After using a heat sensor to check the area, firemen returned to the station at 8:10a.m. Putnam County Court Small claims filed: Wednesday, May 8-Mark A. Smith, DDS vs. Robert Glaze; Mark A.

alley that hasn’t been kept up for 40 years. Neighbors are agreeable to the closing, it was noted. -APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY on second and third readings Ordinance 198511, prohibiting debris, junk or deteriorating structures. The ordinance provides that within 90 days of damage from fire or storm, a building must be made “whole, safe and sound.” It also states that yards and lots must be kept clean and well-groomed. Enforcement of the ordinance, it was noted, would begin with a complaint and visual inspection by the city engineer. The Zoning Board would then get a report on the matter, with its attorney deciding on legal action. -Unanimously approved on third and final reading Ordinance 1985-4, establishing a Cumulative Development Fund to pay for streets and curbs. It will be at a rate of four per cent the first year, seven per cent the second and 12 per cent the third. -Unanimoulsy passed on all three readings Ordinance 1985-13, vacating County Road 200 E (inside the city limits) which bisects the IBM property. In return for closing that gravel roadway, IBM will build a new roadway north and west of its facility, using a portion of the abandoned Conrail right-of-way. -UNANIMOUSLY PASSED on second and third readings Ordinance 1985-9 dealing with parking lot surfaces.

filter cake that is buried at the site, Price said no advanced notice of testing is needed for those two items. The company, however, desires only to know what the county is testing for so ILWD can analyze for the same constituents. AS FAR AS SEDIMENT samples are concerned, ILWD has no objection to the county obtaining any information from DePauw University professor James Gammon, whose associates and students continue to evaluate the fish and benthic organisms in Big Raccoon Creek, which is located near the landfill site. Price concluded by saying that ILWD believes its own testing of the landfill is sufficient. The company conducts its own tests via the EMS Lab, which is based at ILWD’s Indianapolis office and is half owned by ILWD. But, Price added, “We (ILWD) understand the Board of Health’s desire to have separate analytical results for their peace of mind to ensure that the results obtained are verified by a separate analytical laboratory.” IN ADDITION, PRICE assured the Board of Health the company will do anything it can to provide assistance to the county in monitoring and pledges full cooperation. One item Price did want to clarify is recent concern regarding “lab packs.” He noted the company received a few calls questioning whether lab packs (described as being discarded lab chemicals) were being buried at the Russellville site. Price stressed burial of lab packs is not

-Unanimously approved on second and third readings Ordinance 1985-10 concerning unsafe buildings. -Received thanks from the Greencastle Civic League, represented by president Kathy Jones, for the city’s cooperation during the recent clean-up effort. She enumerated several suggestions to help keep the city clean, including emptying the trash containers at Robe-Ann Park and downtown on a more-frequent schedule, establishing an anti-litter ordinance and dog leash law, doing regular street sweeping downtown and continued tagging by police of disabled and abandoned vehicles. -HEARD THE MAYOR report on the city’s selection as one of six cities designated by the state as participants in a new Strategic Planning Program. Mayor Warren noted that other committee members are Larry Taylor, Bob Hutchings, Richard Andis, Harvey Pinney and William Marley. The plan is designed “to point to the future by integrated, unified activity, building upon the advantages and opportunities” of Greencastle and Putnam County, the mayor observed. “Let’s do look to the year 2000,” he added, “and not just at managing from crisis to crisis.” The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 11 at City Hall. It is expected that it will include a public hearing on the city’s cable TV franchise.

occurring at its Putnam County landfill. “We do handle that, but we arrange for it to be transported to another facility that can handle that,” the company president clarified. “We do not bring anything out to Russellville that comes from another source. The landfill up there cannot handle that type of material. “I don’t know how those types of rumors get started,” Price added, “but I just wanted to clear that up.” FOLLOWING PRICE’S presentation, the Health Board gave its final approval for Brookside Lab, based at New Knoxville, Ohio, and O.A. Lab, based in Indianapolis, be hired to conduct monitoring tests at the ILWD landfill in Putnam County. In addition, the board signed an agreement with John Whitley, who resides near the landfill site, to continue his own independent monitoring practices on behalf of Putnam County. Whitley, the agreement noted, is to take directions from the Board of Health and will be compensated at $3,600 per year, which is his previous salary paid by the county. That motion was made by board member Don Hazlett and seconded by Dr. Richard Veach. The motion was made unanimous by Hazlett, Dr. Veach, June Eiteljorge, Dr. Brattain and Dr. Fred Haggerty. Not present were board members Dr. Tom Graffis and Loren Salsman. In addition to Sanitarian Zeiner, Putnam County Health Officer Dr. John Ellett was present.

Police Chief Jim Hendrich said he has had several complaints recently from persons who were unable to get through because the two city police lines were busy. Currently 653-3155 is the emergency number and the system automatically rings 653-3156 if the other number is busy. The third line, at a cost of $45 per month, would be a non-emergency line designed for business purposes. “People need access to the police depart-

The church is building a new facility on Jones Road, the mayor said, and had asked to attach to the city utilities. However, without the Southside Interceptor Sewer approved, that area is already too overloaded, the mayor noted. “We cannot extend service to them at the site suggested at this time,” Warren added. “The advice from the city engineer and wastewater superintendent

The FFA had been advised not to use the site last year, Warren said, but apparently misunderstood and proceeded with its plans.
