Statements Go Out To Sewer Users Mar. 1

' Statements for those Syracuse j families and business places which j are now on the sanitary sewer lines went out March 1 for the month of February, according to J. B. Cox, town clerk-treasurer. The town ordinance setting up the procedure provides that those who reside in Ward 1 will be billed on the first of the month, those in Ward 2 will receive bills on the 10th of each month, and those who reside in Ward 3 will be billed on the '2oth of each month. Each group will have 10 days in which to pay, after which it will be necessary to charge a penalty of 10 per cent for delinquents. > The post-card size statements are similar to those sent out by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, providing a perforated part for a receipt, and a part for the town corporation. The town clerk’s office will be in the former W. T. Jones realty company building at 120 South Huntington street. The office will receive payments daily Monday through Friday each afternoon, or payments can be made by mail or in a mail box to be provided for that purpose in the door of the building. The town board has employed Mrs. Dale Sparklin, 100 W. E. Long drive, to assist the town clerk in the work of sending out statements and receiving payments. Mrs. Sparklin has been employed in the Elkhart county treasurer’s office at Goshen for-years, and' is familiar with the work of billing and receiving money. The work on the construction of the town sewers and disposal plant officially started January 19, and billing started February 1. Those who are on the sanitary sewer lines will start paying immediately, and as the sewer lines - are extended, payments will start as quickly as service is available individually. Home owners generally will pay 53 .75 per month. Small businesses will pay $3.25 per month, and larger busmfsses, factories, schools, ’etc., Will pay 15c, 20c, or 25c per seat or pupil, depending on the number. The town of Syracuse will also pay for its buildings. Payments may be made in advance. The project is expected to bring in near $35,000 per year. Town clerk-treasurer J. B. Cox states that he has the individual consumer sheets made up, and with the help of the post office department, correct addresses. Where wrong addresses are given or the wrong people billed for the sanitary services, early assistance will ibe appreciated in making corrections and where errors are made in the amounts to be paid corrections will be made. The real estate involved is liable

for the sewer service and the ordinance provides that where payment is refused or neglected that the sewer assessments will be placed on the tax books for collection. The penalty clause for delinquents adds to the cost, also, where payments are not made. The sewer and disposal plant charge is being viewed with varied sentiment. Those who have been on the public sewers for 30 years with little charge may feel that this is a pretty expensive charge, but those who have been fighting with individual septic tanks are in the main part welcoming the change to public sewers. Sixty-five per cent of the town has been served by public sewers since about 1940, and some had sewers prior to that time. That project was financed by a S2OO, 000 federal grant, and a $30,000 town bond issue, but the advent of World War II stopped construction. The town bond issue was paid off by a five cent tax levy over a 30-year period. During the past 10 years town officials have been under pressure from the state of Indiana to stop dumping raw sewage into Turkey Creek, and the present construction is. the result. The system is expected to be completed in about six months’ time.

Boy Scouts To Observe 52nd Anniversaiy More than 5,235,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and their adult leaders throughout the nation will observe National Boy Scout Week February 7-13. This is the 52nd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America organization was incorporated at Washington D. C. on February 8, 1910. In 1916 congress granted a federal charter to the organization. The Cub Scout program which includes boys age 8-11 was started in the year of 1930, until this time the scouting program included boys 12 years <6f age and older. The local Cub Scout program is sponsored by the Lions club and is listed as Pack 28 in the Pioneer Trails Council. The organizational sponsor works with the committee, den mothers and the cub master to have a successful working program. Cub Scout Program In the Cub Scout program, activities are centered about the home, the den and the pack. In the home, parents work with their boy on a program of achievement instruction and advancement from one cub rank to the next, in order to help insure that the boy ''does his best. Parents certify that their own boy has met his advance requirements. The den is made up of a small neighborhood group of cubs and meets once a week after school with the den mother, who is usually mother of one of the cubs. Her job is to supervise the activities which consist of games, trick puzzels, service or handicraft projects and preparing stunts to be given at the next pack meeting. Pack Meets The pack meets once a month, the fourth Tuesday, at the scout cabin. The meeting is a family affair of parents, cubs, committee members and friends. At meetings the cubs exhibit their work and receive recognition for their achievements, put on stunts and play games. In the local pack meetings refreshments are served. At the present time 52 boys are enrolled in the local Cub Scout program. Fifteen of these boys are in the Webelos den and will graduate to Boy Scouts in the early summer. Window Display In observance of National Boy Scout week, the local Cub Scouts have set up a window display at the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. and Budget Loans in Syracuse. The display gives an idea, of what goes on at the den meetings of the Cub Scouts.

Approval was given for the NIPSCO to install a warning light and siren at the. fire station which would warn of a drop in pressure on the gas lines. The company will pay $75 per year for this service. Approval was also given for adding individual warning systems in case of fire at the Weatherhead company or at the Syracuse Rubber company. A similar system is now in use for the Liberty Coach company. Some water trouble was reported on Parkway drive by Robert Insley and at the scout cabin. The park board was instructed to go ahead and fix the scout cabin hydrant, and the street employees were instructed to remedy the trouble on Parkway dnve.
