To Redecorate - (Continued from page 1) out of office. The commission was to have met ; on April 15 but no meeting was < held—it is to meet quarterly so the ; next regular meeting would be some- ( time in July. Some persons feel there is a j great need for a planning commis-1 : Sion in Milford as the .town is'} getting bottled up and soon there! 1 will be no room? for expansion. ■ The board felt the Chamber of « Commerce has done extensive ■< work in planning and seven people, with the help of the town attorney, should be able to work something out. z The question of the difference' between planning and zoning was brought out and board members explained the planning commission was to g t things ready and on paper as to growth, roads, sewers and the like and the zoning commission would follow. Other Business Some discussion was held on the bad taste of water on the Harry Beer property. Mr. Beer had been present at the May meeting of the board and had stated his pnobI lem at that time. In May the board ! had ordered street and water com- : missipner Marion Deeter .to look i into the problem and he gave his report Monday night. Following the report and discussion the board members decided they could do nothing about the taste of Mr. Beer’s water since none of his neighbors were having any troub- | le. Mr. Beer could install a new j water line but officials could not state, for sure whether the lire would help the taste or not. Merril J. Rink, board president, had talked to Ben Vandiveer about moving his cars a week ago' Saturday. The cars, have been blocking the alley used by the members of the Bethel church to get to and from their parking lot. The cars 1 still hadn’t been moved Monday. • One of the cars reportedly doesn’t belong to Mr. Vandiveer, but to his brother-in-law, a Mr. Manley: The town could move the cars if Mr. Vandiveer would give his consent. Mrs. Herbert (Edith 1 Baumgartner. clerk-treasurer, read a carbon of a letter sent' to Carl Honey erf Elkhart county by certified mail on May 12. The letter told Mr. Honey that the building on east Williams street, owned by him. had been condemed. The Jetter, from the j town’s attorney, requested the building be removed within 30 days. Orthouses

Allan A. Rasor, attorney, stated 1 a letter had./been received from Lawrence Smith <al ng actual had ‘ been taken and a sanitary toilet j would be installed within a few •weeks. I Mr. Smith of Garrett owns a j house on James street that was reported at the last town board I meeting to have an outhouse which was overflowing. This left an un- ' pleasant condition in the neighborhood and Is a health hazard. Resh dents of the streets were present at the last town board meeting and had registered a complaint with both the town board and the county health board. Mr Smith was contacted about the house following the meeting. Carroll Sherman, county sanitation officer was also present at the May meeting and stated, besides the James street complaint, he had received a complaint about an outhouse on Elm street. It was reported at the meeting Monday this outhouse has been burned down. Mr. Sherman’s office is taking action about other offensive properties in the town. In regard to the burning of the sawmill chief Pierson reported fire chief Harold Kaiser refuses to bum the mill until he has writtenconsent from the cdunty commissioners. Since the commissioners were meeting Tuesday chief Pierson was to call and asked that they send written permission to chief Kaiser. Board member Darrell Om reported that officer Darrell Johnson had washed and waxed the police car before the Memorial Day parade and commented officer Johnson on a job well done. Several favorable comments had, been voiced on this. The telephone company had approached board president Rink asking for permission to install a pav station in front of the town hall. Following discussion on the pay station member Om made a motion to let the company install a phone booth on the north east corner of the property, next to the sidew'alk, facing east. Liquor All board members had been approached about the possibility of a package liquor store in Milford. Since the store would have a threeway license it would be the fourth place to buy beer in Milford. The board was in full agreement that this was not needed in Milford. Streets Street and water commissioner Deeter stated that the streets of Milford are in bad shape. Since everything hinges on the sewer: system which will have to be put in some time in the future the board doesn’t feel. too much should be spent on the streets at this time. Members decided to meet with a representative of Phend and Brown construction in the near future to look at the streets with Mr. Deeter. Present at the board meeting were street and water commissioner Deeter; clerk-treasurer Rink, Baumgartner; board members Rink, Oro and Cart Duncan; attorney Allan Rasor; chief of police Pierson; and officers Dave Hart and Darrell Johnson.
