Syracuse Town Board Meets The Syracuse town board met Tuesday evening, Nov. 6, with all members, president Byron Connolly, Harry Coy, Loren Longenbaugh and clerk-treasurer J. Barton Cox present. Several citizens also attended. Sewage - Streets The new sewage system lines are now being completed and should be available for final hookup in more areas soon. It was announced that the lift wells on N. Huntington, Parkway and in the southern section of town are to be completed in the near future. Streets are still not in complete repair and it was announced that many final repairs may have to wait until spring. It was suggested that a meeting with the constructors be held to discuss this. Connolly offered that repairs made during winter weather will not hold up during the thaws and freezing. Street Lights A citizen on Mullen Drive, which is four blocks in length, informed the board that there were no city lights along this street. A written request from a resident (of Portland) to consider installing a light on Portland street? was submitted by Cox. During September, residents of N. Lake street put forth a similar request. Board member Longenbaugh stated that he had driven throughout Syracuse one night and had noted areas that were pretty dark an which could use street lights. These areas will be investigated by all members of the board. Funds for street lights are to be available in 1963. The cost} for maintaining each street light is listed at $25 and S4O per year. The clerk-treasurer requested that the board consider providing the city with an automatic electric adding machine which will also multiply. The machine now being used is not sufficient for the amount and type of work required. Bids for one will be presented, to the board. Paint Signs It was announced that Fred Elstrod has requested permission to repaint the signs on the corner of Huntington and Main streets (at the stop light). These are the “bird cage-shaped” signs directing vacationers to various places in the Syracuse-Wawasee area. The board will consider this and submit an approved list of places to be named. Resigns A letter from Gale Benner was read by Connolly in which Mr. Benner resigned as Syracuse Civil Defense director. He stated that his job prevented him from applying himself to this position and suggested that Earl Money be considered to replace him; It was discussed and the board accepted the recommendation. It was announced that Mr. Money would accept if asked. (Ed. note: Mr. Money is presently awaiting approval of the state conservation department to accept this position.) Syracuse will receive its new street sweeper sometime ‘next week. It was purchased for $950 with parking meter fluids and has three times the capacity of the old one. Additional Report An additional report was later given to the effect that president Connolly has appointed board member Coy to be in direct charge of the Syracuse police department. Appointed to be in direct charge of the fire department was board member Longenbaugh.
