TOWN TOPICS By Wayne Baxter The reconstruction of the Northwest District Sewer will be completed as soon as reports on the final weir readings are received. Engineers are expecting infiltration to be reduced from 200,000 gallons per day to approximately 28,000 gallons. If you might own a vacant lot or other property that needs maintenance, now is a good time to get it done. There will be thousands of visitors to our town during the month of May. Although about 90% of these visitors will be under the impression that they are in Indianapolis, nevertheless Speedway folks know better and are proud to be living in Speedway, so let’s dress it up. Your Town Board has agreed to furnish sanitary treatment facilities to a 420 acre residential development on West 10th Street. It will be necessary for the developer to install a sewer on 10th Street from Eagle Creek to Girl School Road. The development, when complete, will have some 1200 homes. You have a new Town Engineer, Mr. Edwin C. Kridler, comes to us from Fort Wayne where he received his B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. Mr. Kridler is married and has two children, both in school in Fort Wayne. As soon as school is out the family will move to Speedway. Besides engineering duties, Mr. Kridler will serve as Street Commissioner and as consultant to the Water Works and the Sewage Works. His office is located in the Utility Building, 1430 N. Lyndhurst Dr. Tel. CH. 1-2566.

The Civilian Defense Department and the Fire Department are negotiating for a combination siren. If purchased it will probably be more centrally located than the present one. A new fire truck, ordered in 1959, will be delivered in a few days. The Town Board has been under criticism from some of the local merchants and business men for the traffic pattern used on race day. Mr. K. H. Smith with Marshal Collins will serve the town as Safety Representatives during the racing season. The Town has annexed the Herbert Glidewell land at Moller Road and West 26th St. Mr. Al Wagner, local builder, will be the developer. A new police car has been ordered from Carson Ford Sales. This is the first car purchased that is built especially for police use. Repair work on Lyndhurst Drive is under way and none too soon. Residents and Business establishments have certainly been cooperative considering the fact that it was not a Speedway project that caused the street to be torn up in the first place. Thanks for your patience. From my clippings: There is no man so poor as he who has only money.
