Syracuse Town Board Votes' To Dismiss Stiefel Co. Case

Town board members voted to dismiss the Stiefel Grain Company case from court at Tuesday night’s meeting. This decision was made following a recommendation of town attorney Leon Connolly. General consensus of opinion was that the scrubber equipment and new smoke stack installed this year by the company had reduced the nuisance. The steam which presented a hazard has been eliminated and the residue and odor, altho not entirely corrected, has been reduced. Attorney Connolly recommended dismissal of the case at this time and reopening it at a later date if necessary. Two new street lights were considered, one in the vicinity of the Scout Cabin and the other on Brooklyn Street near the school house. It was decided that these lights are badly needed and should be installed as soon as it is possible to do so. It was reported that the curbs Van Orman Hotel Plans Presently At Standstill Plans for the proposed hotel project at the former Waco site are at a standstill at present, said Harold Van Orman, Jr. this week.

In the meantime, the Waco building and other structures are being cleared from the land preparatory to whatever plans materialize for the resort development Chamber To Elect Officers 26 November Chamber of Commerce will elect officers at a meeting Tuesday 26 November at the Wawasee Restaurant.

Open House Brings Many Cars To Town Bill Darr, owner of the new Gulf Oil Station on South Huntington Street, reported Monday that an estimated 450 to 500 cars were served at his station during the Open House Friday and Saturday with a total of 3,742 gallons of gasoline sold. Attracting people from a wide radius was the huge search light at the station which circled the sky each night. This light, from the Searchlight Advertising Co. in Fort Wayne, was 800,000,000 candlepower in a reflector case sixty inches in diameter. A similar search light at the new Gulf Station in North Webster added to the curiosity of the many people who got in their cars to go see where these lights were stationed. Many of these people said they saw objects and planes in the beam that they had not noticed at any other time. Dick Mitchell, manager of the North Webster Station, sold a total of 2,419 gallons of gas during the two day open house. The stations were serving customers continuously from 7:30 a. m. til closing time at 10:00 p. m. with four men on duty at all times. Three radios, given as prizes at the Syracuse station, went to Arthur Coy, Jr., H. Mitchum, both of Syracuse, and Kenneth Knisley, former Syracuse resident now living in Goshen. Assisting Bill Darr in Syracuse, from time to time, is Clem Sheibley.
