TO INSPECT TANK — When the Syracuse town board set out to inspect the overhead water tank near the Weatherhead plant Monday, no board member was eager to scale the tower’s ladder to do the tricky job.

Town Os Syracuse Signs Contract For Repair Os Water Towers

The town board of Syracuse has. signed contracts with the United Bridge and Iron Co. of Tulsa; Okla., for extensive repairs and cleaning of two of the town’s water towers. The contracts will run for six years, with the company making inspections at the end of each twoyear period. An additional six-year contract is optional. The contract for the overhead 100,000-gallon tank near the Weatherhead Co. was for $1,700 and the 100,000gallon standpipe on north Huntington street will cost $1,528. In addition to the above price which includes cleaning, coating the inside with rust-resistant substance, and complete painting inside and out, additional repairs are being made as needed, after inspection by town officials. The overhead tank was inspected Monday and a total of 220 pits in the bottom of the tank were ordered welded and. also a 20-foot weld made around the top of the five-foot tower where it enters the main tank. The interior of the tank is coated with Farbertite, approved by the U. S. government and the interior is sterilized before putting it back , into use. Each of thp 100,000-gallon tanks is woiith approximately : $55,000, and such service is necessary in order to keep them from deteriorating. All work now being done is guaranteed for six years. Draining was started on the overhead tank at 7 a. m. last Saturday and work was commenced on Sunday. Work was expected to be completed on the tank at Weatherhead plant by Wednesday, when it would be filled again, taking about four hours. Then the tank on north Huntington street would be emptied and „ repairs started on it. It was estimated that 36 gallons of exterior paint would be used on the overhead tank, with 30 gallons on the interior. Water in the overhead tank, plus the weight of the tank itself weighs in excess of 300 tons. The third water storage tank, on north Huntington street, may be repaired and put back into use. This matter is now being studied by the Syracuse town board. CHARLES BUSHONG CELEBRATES 92d BIRTHDAY Charles Bushong, Syracuse, 1 celebrated his 92d birthday bn Tuesday, Oct. 15, at his home.

— PROCLAMATION — WHEREAS many residents and citizens of the Town have complained to the Town Board of Trustees of the Town of Syracuse that the practice of children going from door to door in the Town of Syracuse immediately preceding Halloween each year for the purpose of “Trick or Treat” calls has become a nuisance and have requested the Town Board of Trustees to adopt an ordinance in regulation thereof, and WHEREAS, the Town Board of Trustees are of the unamimous opinion that this practice of “Trick or Treat” is a worth while and proper practice and activity for children and not a proper subject for an ordinance or any type of legislation, and WHEREAS, the Town Board of Trustees is of the opinion that the activity is commenced too far in advance of Halloween night and is continued over too long a period and many of the complaints are a result of the length of time involved. NOW THEREFORE, the Town Board of Trustees designate October 28 through October 30, 1963, inclusive, as “Trick or Treat” days for the Town of Syracuse and respectfully request the cooperation of both parents and children herein.
