WALKERTON TOWN BOARD A letter of resignation was accepted by the Walkerton Town Board on Tuesday evening. April 16. from Ray A. Nusbaum, 4th ward representative. In the letter. Mr. Nusbaum cited ill health as the reason for his decision to withdraw. After accepting the resignation the hoard members appointed former town board member, William L. Bouse, 606 Adams Street, to fill the unexpired term of Mi. Nusbaum. He. previously served an elected term on the board from 1959 through 1963. The unexpired term will terminate on December 31, 1975. The board authorized moving the corpnate limit s.gn to the proper place on Harrison Street and instructed the street depart, ment to place several 30 mile per hour signs al mg the lower end of Harrison Street. It was noted that the Teegarden Road enters into Harrison at that locat; n and excessive speeds by motorists hive been observed .n that v.i.n. ity. Authority was g.ven t ’ prepare applications md nt'o-s'iiiy .nici. mational data and >ub:nit them to the adimmsti atoi d the st ite’s local ri ad and street fund and seek procurement of funds albnatt i to Walkerton. It was noted the funds are distributed on a 90-10 per cent basis, with the state paying the bulk of the total. B aid members hoped to obtain sufficient funds from this source to w.den, asphalt and resurface I'j miles of municipal streets known as Walkerton Trail and an extension of Georgia Street wh.ch prior to annexation was known as Hinkle', errj Road. Maintenance of these county roads Is now the responsibility of the town. Further discussion took place regarding Liling the vacancy exIstmg in the street department, also a request for an extra man to be employed by the town util, ity department was requested by superintendent Manin W.luams. Ihe matters were tabled until more board members were present. Town attorney. D D. Goheen, was instructed to make further contact w.th the Clyde E W.ll. iams and Associaes engineering firm before an official decision is made about accepting an ava.l. able three.year loan from the state’s post-war planning fund. The board was recently advised that the loin is available if the town wants to follow through on an application submitted by the town m February, 1972 The loan was or.gmally sought for engineering service fees The doaid also made application at the same time for federal and state aid for assist.inie in the propped sewage improvement program. So f ir, the town is not tar.ng too high in the priority list and the success of the program is in doubt unless federal and state funds are available. The board will meet in .special session on April 3u for a public hearing on an additional approp. nation from the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds to constmct a new comfort .station at Place Park SENIOR | FJ.LOAASHIP TO MEET MAA « 'Die Senior Fellowship Group of AA alkerton udl niivt ■ n Monday May 6 at b tkl pni f r their reg. ular carry m dinner and pro. gram.
