Greencastle Town Fathers Have Huge Plans for City

By VICTOR PETERSON “1 imagine, in time, that almost Times Staff Writer | GREENCASTLE, April 25. — Big| things are afoot in this university town and all of them are keyed toward plunging Greencastle ahead| of other cities of comparable size. Currently the town fathers are focusing their attention on a sewer expansion program which will cost| about $100,000. When completed it! will extend city service to the four! corners of this town, In the talking stage for a year, plans now are shaping up so that actual construction can get under way in a few months, The enlargement also will necessitate the revamping of the sewage disposal plant. | “We are going ahead as rapidly {as possible,” said Ward D. Mayhall, | {works board member, “When {it is | completed it will take a good deal of worry from the city. “We never have had an outbreak of disease because we lacked a complete sewage disposal system, but it has been a source of constant concern.” Consider Annexation | Almost hand in hand with the sewer improvement is the ¢onsid-| eration of annexing three outlying | communities to the city. An overture will be made by the city shortly | and it is expected that the areas involved will respond readily to the | invitation, Mr, Mayhall said. | Some 2000 people now live in the! areas considered for annexation: The sites are located east and west of town and in the Indiana st. road section. fre Upon annexation, the city will! extend city water, lights and sewers to the areas as well as police and fire protection. It will increase the population within the corporate limits to about 7000, : Want ‘Finest’ Airport Considerable attention also is beting centered upon the six-month-. old municipally-owned airport “Some people think we are ahead
