To Whom It Moy Concern Anyone wishing to express his opinion on closing the millrace and saving the taxpayers thousands of dollars may sign the following petition at the residence of Dorothy Smith, 131 West Pearl Street, Syracuse: PETITION To The Town Board of Syracuse, Syracuse, Indiana:. GREETINGS: WHEREAS, the Town Board of Syracuse, Syracuse, Indiana, has heretofore determined to drain 'and close the channel known as the “millrace” in the Town of Syracuse, and WHEREAS, the closing of the “millrace” will destroy an historic landmark which has existed some 1 24 years, and WHEREAS, the closing of the “millrace” will destroy a natural playground where children for generations have fished, swam, waded and floated on home-made rafts, and WHEREAS, the closing of the “millrace” will result in the area becoming a public dump which could be a danger to the health and welfare of the community as well as an eyesore which could depreciate property values, and . WHEREAS, the cost and expense of closing the *‘millrace”. building storm sewers, fire hydrants, and the proposed street will greatly exceed the cost and expense of maintaining the millrace as a historical landmark and playground, and WHEREAS, the; true sentiment of the community and those citizens most affected, was ; not properly and adequately sought prior to the action of the town board, and WHEREAS, the undersigned petitioners believe that the closing of the “millrace” is not in the best interes of the Town of Syracuse. NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned petition the Town Board of Syracuse to hold a public meeting wherein the economic and aesthetic consequences of closing the "millrace” can be discussed and where the citizens of Syracuse can their opinions and desires; and that after such a free and open meeting the Town Board of Syracuse reconsider their action in closing the millrace.
