Obituary William K. Hueston

William K. Hueston, 65, Roachdale, passed away suddenly at his home Tuesday afternoon. Born Sept. 5, 1921 at West Baden, Ind., he was the son of Owen and Gladys (Emmons) Hueston. On Jan. 18,1946 at French Lick, he married the former Ruth Tarr, and she survives. Mr. Hueston, a retired mechanic, was retired from the Communications Corp, of Indiana at Roachdale. A member of the Roachdale Christian Church, he was a U.S. Army veteran. In addition to the wife, survivors include a son, William

County Council — at the highway department,” she related. “We just want to know what went wrong, where it went wrong and what we can do to rectify the problem.” Campbell questioned where the county got the impression that CAGIT funds could be used at the county highway department. MRS. SAGER RESPONDED that impression came from Farm Bureau representatives, who presented the Council with paperwork. “We were told one-fourth of the one percent tax could be used to lower property taxes, one-fourth would be applied as certified shares, another one-fourth • would be new spendable money and one-fourth could be used by the highway department to replace 100 percent of the federal revenue sharing money,” she explained. “That was the way it was presented in the paperwork, but that is not the way it came out,” Mrs. Sager told Campbell. “I’m at a loss as to say where that impression came from,” Campbell, who was one of three state officials outlining CAGIT to the Council in April, said. “I do know that it is a law that says CAGIT funds cannot be used for the highway. CAGIT money has nothing to do with the highway department. “THERE IS NOTHING in the statute,” Campbell continued, “that says the money has to go to the highway fund. The money is to go for the county to arrive at its maximum levy. “If the county decides to use a portion of the CAGIT money for the highway department, that’s up to them,” Campbell added. “But, if they do so, it has to be done during the budget process in September.” But Mrs. Sager said Putnam County officials questioned a state representative in August, if a special budgetary move was needed and was told the matter would have to be tested in court. IF THEY WERE only told a special allocation was needed in August, the Council would have made provisions during the September hearings, Mrs. Sager reasoned. Historically,” councilman Bob Evans related, “federal revenue sharing money was never a part of the property tax levy. We used the money without any encumbrances upon it. “We were told in April,” Evans continued, “that we could use part of the CAGIT money to replace the federal revenue sharing money with no strings attached. Now we find that is not the case. I feel it (CAGIT) was not correctly represented to us at the time we adopted it.” City Councilman-at-large Bobby G. Albright, who was also in attendance, agreed with Evans’ assessment. “In your presentation,” Albright said, referring to the April meeting he also attended, “you explained that CAGIT could replace federal revenue sharing. “WHAT YOU DIDN’T say was that it took a special budgetary process,” Albright told Campbell.

Patter recourse unless you have memorized the dosage in fine print on bottle or pill packet. RELIEF COULD MEAN that what you will be taking should guarantee that you will still be around a little longer. Two things are scheduled to happen: The medicine will cure your ills or you will get well in spite of it. It could be that so many of us are still around and kicking today is that we were constantly treated with such non-prescription concoctions as goose grease, skunk oil and turpentine and lard, all applied liberally on the outside and sulphur and molasses, which might have been the first internal medicine. All these medicines had something in common with drugstore compounds. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn’t. Back then, however, there was no firm to which you could threaten to have the law on if your illness continued.

“Those are the two words we didn’t hear-budgetary process.” For that reason, if the Council appropriates money next year to replace the federal revenue sharing money via CAGIT, property taxes will have to go up to make up the difference, Albright noted. “Had we had known that,” Asbell commented, “we would have put in less for property tax relief.” “RIGHT NOW OUR money is just in the wrong pocket,” Evans related. “We need to get the money from the general fund to the highway. ” “You just can’t transfer the money,” Campbell said. “If you do without some of the money in the general fund, and put it in the highway department budget, you’ll have to reduce some of the other appropriations.” Campbell did say the Council could allocate the money needed for the highway department in the commissioners’ budget as an “additional appropriation” in 1987. “Still, if you do that,” Campbell warned, “you’ll be taking the money away from somewhere else.” ONE POINT CAMPBELL made was that no other county in Indiana, of the 45 who implemented CAGIT, is using the money at the highway department for road and bridge repairs. The Council made no decision whether or not it would allocate the money as an additional appropriation in 1987 for the highway department. The matter is expected to be considered during future review. In other business, the Council approved transfers for the Veteran’s Office, Extension Office, clerk’s office, Board of Health, Green Acres County Home and Putnam County Highway Department. THE BOARD LATER approved an amended salary ordinance for the Greencastle Township assessor and deputy assessor. The move will result in both persons receiving a S7OO raise as other county employees will for 1987. The Council also voted unanimously to provide $2,100 for a sidewalk-curb project at the Putnam County Jail. The project is part of the overall curbing and sidewalk work to be undertaken with money received by the City of Greencastle via a Community Improvement Program grant from the state. The Council tabled a decision regarding computer hardware and software equipment for the county auditor and treasurer’s offices. Nancy Mcßride and Auditor Myrtle Cockrell said they will be viewing more systems before bringing a proposal back to the board. Additional appropriated were approved for courthouse postage, $1,000; a courthouse telephone system $13,200; school tuition transfer, $8,000; Veteran’s Office for travel, $200; courthouse repairs to the boiler, $1,680; election costs, $5879; and redoing plat books, SIOO,OOO.

NEITHER WAS THERE an organized Better Business Bureau to tell your troubles to. If something you took didn’t help, you took something else. And if you made it to spring, there was surely something you did right. Some of grandma’s hand-me-down medicines just plain awful, and the rub-on kind was hotter than blazes. This might have been to the afflicted advantage. To avoid the future possibility of such medical applications, those with colds or whatever, determined to get well as quickly as possible. The pyschology boys have always said that mind over matter had its benefits. -ALL THE SWEETENING and flavoring of modem medicines may not be good for your health, but they go down a lot easier than some of the stuff a lot of us took under protest, castor oil, for example.

enable the city to extend the project area to contiguous locations. Dory reported that virtually all double-step curbs will be eliminated in the downtown area. Exceptions, he said, are Jackson Street, north of the square, and Franklin Street, east of the square. Lingenfelter said the southeast corner of the West Franklin-Jackson Street corner involves a 21-inch change in grade, which will be manipulated to eliminate a double curb. POWERS ADDED that a SIO,OOO contingency fund should be stipulated to allow for emergency expenditures. “One thing we can expect,” the architect said, “is the unexpected.” He used a hidden coal bin under a sidewalk as an example.

tree last year and in anticipation of continued public support of this project, added a second, smaller tree on the northeast corner of the courthouse square. It was donated by member Gwen Morris in memory of her father. This tree will also be decorated with Lights of Love and lit during the annual tree-lighting ceremony. In addition to the lights and red bows, new wooden Christmas ornaments will be added to the trees this year. They are being made by the Greencastle High School industrial arts department with wood donated by John Wood. Large, wrapped packages under the tree will complete the decorating scheme.

“When you start digging around that square, it’s going to be interesting,” Calbert said, recalling he had seen a large area under the street that was accessible from the old Headley Hardware site on Washington Street (now occupied by the First Citizens Bank parking lot). “Lord only knows what can be hiding under there,” Dory concurred, adding that as many areas as possible have already been examined for abandoned coal bins, etc. “WHAT ABOUT A hidden bank vault?” Albright joked, adding that the city should retain the rights to any buried treasure. Actual construction work is expected to begin on the CIP project in early spring.
