Labor is one of the great elements of society—the great substantial interest on which we .all stand. Not feudal sen ice, or predial toil, or the ’ irksome drudgery by one race of i mankind, but labor,' intelligent,J manly independent, thinking and acting for itself, earning its own wages, accumulating those wages into capital, educating childhood, maintaining worship, claiming the rightj of the elective franchise, and helping to uphold the great fabric of the J state—that is American labor; and I all my sympathies are with it, and my voice, till I am dumb, wall be for it. - Daniel Webster If you divorce capital from labor, i , capital is hoarded, and labor starves. ; 1- Daniel Webster'. . - ——————— '.

KEEP STKACUSE BEAUTIFUL (Editor's Note: Following is a carbon that was sent to The Mail-Jour-nal office this week.) Sept. 8, 1964 To the Honorable Town Board of Syracuse, I am writing this to complain about the unsightly condition on the south side of the Huntington street bridge, the tumble down boathouses and weeds. Why can’t something be done about this?

County Council Reviews Budget

The Kosciusko county council, meeting at the court house in Warsaw Tuesday and Wednesday, used a fine-tooth comb to go over the proposed budgets for the several county departments. Council president Ralph 0. Oyler of Syracuse asked each department head to appear before the council to justify his proposed expenditures. Approve Increases For the most part the council approved salary increases in most departments, added one cent to the county budget, raising SIO,OOO, for support of the mentally retarded program, and set aside $20,000 to go toward new county plat books, and voted SIB,OOO for the repair of the court house i?x>f. Amount of the total budget: $1»740.436.19. Broken down by departments, the proposed budget is as follows: circuit courtX'ierk, $28,890; county auditor, $31,989; county treasurer, $38,960; county recorder, $16,985; county' sheriff. S3B ,575; county surveyor, $10,091; co. ag. > agent, $20,965; county board of education, $16,219; co. coroner, $4,650; comity assessor, 520.150: Wayne twp. assessor, $14,538,75; prosecuting attorney, 54.365; circuit court, $32,800; registration of voters, $1,937,50; county court house. $25,540; civil defense, $2,115; county jail, $7,660; service officer. 54.500; county commissioners, $197,227.94 county highway $743,283; and county health fund. $36390. While the council loped $1,290 off the.county budget, the approved raises ranging from $l2O per year to $470 per year for 22 office holders. The lower figure applies to custodians in the court house—slo per month; and the larger figure applies to the county agricultural ager.t Donald Frantz. Frantz got a raise from $3,470 to $3,940, with the state paying $6,060, to make his SIO,OOO per year salary. . His assistant. Jack Hart, received an increase of $350 per year, making tiie county's portion of his SB,OOO salary $2,770 Appearing in behalf of these raises were the agricultural budget committee Dale Atkinson of Milford, Harold Gawthrop of Etna Green, Lee Norris of Mentone .and Mrs. Francis Reece of Claypool. They supported the raise by refering to the county's huge farm income. Retarded Help Mrs. Thomas Cleator, executive director of the county council for retarded children, Mrs. Ruth Snoke. president of the council, and Ed Pratt of the Warsaw Lions asked the council to approve a 1-cent levy for a retarded children's school in the county. With them was "Warsaw attorney Max Reed. At the present time the program is held in a home

It is a shame these conditions exist now especially just across the street from the beautiful new dam and landscaped surroundings donated by Eli Lilly in honor of his grandfather, Col. Eli Lilly. It seems to me that condemnation proceedings could be taken on the grounds that these dilapidated houses are unsightly and a serious fire hazard. I understand one house belonged to William Rothenberger, now deceased, and to Bert Swank, who no longer uses it.

on south High street in Warsaw, but they plan to erect a building suitable for a complete rehabilitation program. Pratt said county Lions clubs would build a building, but that the program is larger than the support received from the United Fund. They said the program would be well worth the dollars spent on rehabilitation. They said there are 1.300 in the county who need this help. They plan their new budding on old road 30. and Chapman Lake road. The land will be donated by Raymoixi Forest. The state board of tax examiners has told the auditor they have 1968 to make up new plat books, and the initial $20,000 was approved in this budget for that purpose. Tlie council cut S3OO from Judge Lee’s request oi $5,800 salary’ for the probation officer. Wayne township assessor Paul Oberli was granted a $l5O raise, to $5,000 per year, and allowed only a SIBO raise, to $3,180, for his deputy. Sheriff Sam Holbrook’s request for S3OO for his third deputy, Roger Fellows, was cut to SIBO, over the protest of the sheriff. Ask Uniform Hours The council raised second, third and fourth deputies SIBO. but asked that uniform working standards be set up. They found court house workers with all sorts of differing
