— League Looks (Continued from 2) j specified part of the principal ] may be paid annually. The 1 amount of this debt still outj standing is $225,000. A 1935 or'dinance ruled that 50% of all I water department income be set aside for payment of the debt; 5% for depreciation; 45% for operating expenses. To fij nance the new plant $530,000 of 3-%% bonds were sold in

1958, callable after five years and due In 1977. A city ordinance required the same percentage division of income as in the 1935 ordinance. From the average monthly collection of $16,150, 45% or $7,250 must pay all expenses: salaries, rent, office expenses, taxes, operation and upkeep. The rates of the water department are based on cubic feet. One cubic foot equals 7% gallons of water. For

the first 500 cubic feet, the charge is 75c per hundred; for the next 1500, 70c, and thereafter on a declining scale according to the quanity used. PROBLEMS: Rusty water has probably brought the most frequent complaint. The reason for this condition is that iron deposit in the water has over the years formed a layer of rust within the pipes. When pressure fluctuates, minute particles of rust break loose and enter the stream. With maintenance of stable pressure, rusty water seldom occurs. The iron content also - damages

considered to be satisfactory for twenty years. If our city continues to grow in population from 3% to 5% annually, we shall probably reach the full capacity of our water system

by 1977.

CONCLUSIONS: This study has confirmed the fact that the high cost is attributable largely to the necessity for meeting the terms under which the water system was purchased by the city in 1935 when borrowing was difficult and that this obligation will not be discharged until 1974: It has been made ! clear that the excessive hard-

meters and requires replace-1 ness of the water and

ficiency in flouride are

ments expensive to the water company. A system may be installed for inducing harmless chemicals into the water supply to react with the iron. The cost would be less than costly meter

replacements.

PROSPECT: The prospect of reducing rates is poor. The water department runs on 45% of income, or about $80,000. It is self supporting and has no surplus in the operating portion of income. Plans in 1958 were

its dethe re-

sult of the substructure of the soil; however, correcting these conditions has not been attempted because heavy financial burden prohibits any additional improvements. It has been shown that the physical plant is adequate; that our system is being operated adequately; and, that the maintaining of a fairly stable pressure has generally eliminated the objectionable rusty water. Although

there is little hope of a rate reduction, our situation compares not unfavorably with that of a somewhat larger city under condition not unlike ours (see study for comparison). Financially, Greencastle has such a good record for prompt debt repayment that it holds a credit rating fourth among the cities of the state.

Len Pennyworth Says: 4 Trusted Hand on the Ladder Gives a Man Courage to Achieve

For some time now the wife has been after me to put up a new nail for a picture, but by careful planning on my part, this job had been postponed because of other activities more to my liking. The other afternoon, however, my luck ran out. The wife met me at the door with the hammer in one hand and a few nails in the other. The picture to be hung was on the kitchen table and the stepladder was in postilion by the living room wall. It’s next to impossible to weasel out of a setup like this. While our stepladder is sturdy enough, there is a chance that my trick knee will do a curtsy in high places, and for this reason the wife elected to steady the ladder while I did the precision work above.

I had a lot of confidence In her ladder holding and I felt sure that if the phone should ring, she would not abandon her post without warning me to take a firm grip on the hammer. And speaking of confidence, I find that this quality is a part of Full Service Banking at the Central National Bank. Maybe I don’t know much about the mechanics of the banking business, but I know that I can rely on the Central staff to take the best possible care of my financial needs. Come to think of it, no Institution is any better than the people who man It And from experience, I know that the entire personnel at Central merits my confidence in any matter pertaining to money services.

VU 4 YOUR HEALTH

By LESTER L. COLEMAN. M.D. Readers Are Asking

What is Parkinson’s disease? Can it be cured? Parkinson’s disease, or paralysis agitans, is a disease of the brain which causes tremors of the hands and neck. A most characteristic tremor of the hands is described as a "pill-rolling” tremor of the thumb and the index finger. It is named for the way pharmacists h a n drolled tiny pel lets many years

ago.

Parkinson’s disease som eDr. Coleman times produces expressionless rigidity of the muscles erf the

face.

The past ten years have brought remarkable success in the control of tremors by delicate brain surgery in some cases of Parkinson’s disease. • • • Infected Membrane What is peritonitis? Peritonitis is an infection of the peritoneum, the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity. One of the causes of peritonitis is a ruptured appendix. Sometimes infectious bacteria may attack the peritoneum through the female genital tract or through the blood stream. Modem surgical antisepsis and antibiotics, given before and after surgery, have markedly reduced the frequency and severity of peritonitis. * * * Hormone Glands Are endocrine glands the same as hormone glands? Are there any others besides the thyroid?

Yes, endocrine glands produce hormones and are called hormone glands or glands of internal secretion. Besides the thyroid, there are other hormone-producing glands such as the pituitary and the pineal in the brain, the adrenal near the kidney, the testicles, the ovaries, the mammary glands in the breast and die thymus in the chest. There is an intercommunicating messenger system constantly at work in the blood stream which maintains a check and balance on the body’s need for each hormone. • • • Asthma Age Factor la asthma more dangerous <■ the young than m the elderly? Most illnesses are somewhat more serious in the elderly than in the young. The vitality of youth helps to withstand better the attacks of ilness. Asthma places an additional burden on the heart and the respiratory system’ of the eld-

erly.

The cause of asthma must be diligently sought in both the young and the elderly in order, to initiate proper treatment. Medical science has mode great strides in the treatment of asthma in afl age groups. Cortisone, ACTH, antibioties and psychological support have proven beneficial In many cases of asthma.

j The Hoosier Genealogist. Miss Reisser currently is on ner third career and one of her campaigns as editor is to save from oblivion the thousands of small burying grounds scattered about Indiana. "Genealogy is one aspect of history, but it has been too widely separated from the main subject,” she explains. "Actually, I prefer the term, ‘family history’ to genealogy. People are history.” Miss Reissner now is collect- [ ing information and pictures to determine the oldest tombstone jin Indiana. Her information in- ! dicates a tombstone at Vincennes marking the grave of a ! woman who died in 1801 as the j oldest. But she isn’t sure, so she ia j hopeful that this Memorial Day, jit anyone finds an older one, they will take a picture of it and send it to her at the Indiana Historical Bureau.
