J.C. JAKE AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF SPEEDWAY: It has come to the attention of J. C. Jake that on the night of August 27, 1963, a dark shadow came over our town. The shadow’s name was “Lack of Interest.” Yes, Mr. “Lack of Interest” was clearly seen by the citizens of Speedway, in their failure to be present at the Town Nomination Convention. Out of a population of over 9,000 people only 450 interested citizens turned out to select the 12 candidates for the November sth, election. Where were all the people who in the past have stated that the town has been run by a small group? Where were the many people who didn’t want a golf and driving range near their property? Where were all the people who want better water treatment, better recreational facilities and a continued reasonable tax rate? Above all, where were the people, who in a recent survey made by the Speedway Junior Chamber of Commerce, stated that they were not being informed on the functions of the town government? J. C. Jake would like to know, “Where were all these people?” Well, you and I know you were not in attendance at the nomination, probably because many of you were not properly informed. However, it is not too late to act and be heard, no indeed; as Gabriel Heater use to say on his news cast, “There is good news tonight, and the good news to the citizens of Speedway is that on Tuesday, October 29, 1963, at 7:30 p.m. in the Speedway Junior High School Gymnasium, there will be an open Town Forum . . . So, why wait until election-day, November 5, and wonder who should receive your vote. Come, ask your candidates the questions you feel you want answered. Only your sense of civic responsibility and the pride you have in your community will cause you to be present October 29, 1963, at this Town Forum. Let’s not stand under the Shadow of “Lack of Interest.” Respectfully, J. C. JAKE Marvin L. Hocker, Speedway-State Director

Town Board Says This By Dick Canada Citizens present at the Town Board meeting on Monday, September 23, requested reasons for increase in Speedway’s tax rate from $5.92 to $7.20. The Board explained that over $160,000 or 60 cents of the rate increase was due to lack of funds forthcoming from the state of Indiana since the sales tax was declared unconstitutional. Approximately 40 cents of the rate increase was due to additional county assessments while 23 cents of the rate was due to the town general fund increase. The 23-cent increase was equal to the average rate for the town for 1961-62. The zoning for a service station at 25th and Georgetown was reviewed, and the Board advised Mr. Rodgers, the town attorney, to draft a letter of objection to the Metropolitan Planning Commission. The Board announced a hearing for the approval of the issuance of bonds, in amount of $550,000 for the new Filtering Plant, at 10th Street and Eagle Creek, to be held October 21, at 9:30 a.m., in the State Office Building. The Board also designated that its U. S. Treasury notes totaling $60,000 were to be renewed for 90 days. Fittings for a stop and go light at 25th and Lyndhurst have been poured. The light is to offset the congestion of traffic due to the new high school. Traffic control lines are to be painted at the Wheeler school parking lot. Water Works Superintendent, Max Williams, announced that the clamping of mains along West 10th Street was coming along fine and should be completed within 30 days. Two additional men have been hired to speed up the clamping. The Board withheld adoption of recommendations to the Metropolitan Planning Commission on proposed-master-plan zoning. The proposal was held over until the Town Board meeting of October 14. Diversion of Dry Run and Meyer Ditch was discussed. City and county officials win be invited to an early meeting in October for further planning. PTA PAPER SALE OCTOBER 17 PLEASE SAVE PAPERSI
