Outlines Plans For Syracuse For 1965

At the regular meeting of the Syr- j acuse Town Board of Trustees Tuesday night, Feb. 2, Walter Calnon read to the board members a list of future plans for the town of Syracuse. First for the new year, Mr. Calnon made the notion that the old water bonds be called in, the oldest of these date back to 1953. He then i suggested that the money be invested in United States Treasury Bonds. ' The board approved the motion and town attorney Robert Reed, was in- | strutted to start the procedure for : the change. Another early 1965 plan was for I the calling of bids for a new bridge over Front street. He then told the bou.rd members that the police department's room should be enlarged to house the justice of the peace courtroom since it was not. proper to' I have court in such a public office as it is. At present the j?ourt is held in I the township trustee's office. A door would be built to allow trafI sic to the court and police departI ment to enter without having to go, through the. town hall proper. The next,item was to trade the 1957 town I qwned dump truck for a “younger” I model. Also the Fordson tractor which is of 1949 vintage. He. also asked that three storm -ewers be addedto the town, since during a rainy seatipn water stands on the ground, one of the locations being near the Aero Boat Company. Mr. Calnon asked street commis-'sioner-Walter Hagerdon about the I pole shed that is under construction near the disposal plant. Mr. Hagerdon replied that the workers had there to work on the roof but j because of the cold weather they did. not finish the job. Mr. Hagerdon also stated that property owners and renters who have had trouble in the past with water pipes freezing, should leave the water turned on some during the night when the heat in the home may I be lower. ■ Mr. Calnon stated that the insurance on the town's buildings, contents. and equipment was now in the hands of the Insurance Rating Bureau and that by the next meeting the new insurance papers should bel there. He also stated that he would like the board members to think about some plan to beautify Frazier avenue. He suggested that the art department at the local school be ask- < ed to submit plans and drawings and that a prize be offered for the best plan or drawing submitted. . i Board president Byron Connolly i said he had been approached on the subject of bicycles without lights at i night and asked police chief Dan ' Continued on page 3)
