Second In A Series Os Three Article*

Know Your Candidates —

This week we are featuring candidates for the Milford town board from ward three—Democrat Darrell Om and Republican John F. Augsburger Mr. Om is 47 and resides on Section street with his wife, Evelyn. They are the parents of three chil-dren-—James. Alanna and Linda. He works in customer relations at Chore-Time. Mr. Augsburger is retired after 31 years in business at Milford. He and his wife. Dorothy, are the parents of two children, John and Carolyn. Mr. Oro Mr. Om states the reasons he is running for the town board is that he was told, several years ago when discussing local government: that if he didn’t like what was being done . in Milford to do something about it. When Ralph Miller resigned and a i replacement from the third ward was needed. Mr. Om agreed to fill out Mr. Miller's term of office. .After being drafted to run four i years ago, and being elected by the | people, he felt it a duty to serve them the best that he could. At the present time the board has many projects started that must be completed as soon as possible. Namely, I the sewer project, extension of water lines, playgrounds, park, streets and alleys and many other improve- : menu to the community. At the Democratic caucus he was asked to run I again and was given the full support of all present. i Mr. Om feels that every person in I , Milford should have a say in how • Milford is to be run and he should : have a choice, by holding an elec- i tion every four years, which was al- ■ most denied this year. The board member believes that the town board should have full con- ’ trol of the park at Waubee Lake since it is supported by taxation, i With the help of some of the local service clubs, he would like to see a permanent refreshment stand, rest rooms and facilities for changing clothes, built. The stand would be I leased by a group or club that has the community interest at heart. It would be similar to the building at | Syracuse Park. He would also like to see the area east of the road cleared and used for an overnight trailer park with lights, etc., at a reasonable price per day ’ and a threeday limit. He also believes the town should continue to provide a lifeguard during the busy hours, and add safety equipment wherever possible, j Mr. Orn is in full support of the present ordinance on junk cars in Milford and its penalty. When asked about his ideas on the warte stabilization pond or sewage treatment plant he stated the town f >hould proceed as fast as possible i with the pond due to overall costs i| He stated a judge for Milford sounds good, however, very few . i towns operate this way. He wants

mere information. Mr. Om believes that Milford should push for area planning as fast as possible, so that the town can attract industry to this area and that it can be located in the best suitable area, without stopping the growth of the community. He thinks we (the town) need to plan for the future now and not wait as in the past We should be planning on additional water storage, storm sewers, playgrounds, summer program for the young people past school age and more off street parking in the uptown area. He is a member of the Milford Christian church and the American Legion. Mr. Augsburger John Augsburger has been a member and chairman of the Milford town board for several years in the past, followed by eight years as Van Buren township trustee, therefore he has had experience in the field of local government. He is interested in the future betterment of this community and would have the time to devote to this purpose. With the cost of government increasing at an alarming rate even on the local level, as the overall proposed rate is around $9 at pesent, he feels that it is necessary that we keep our tax rate in line with our neighbors in order to bring industry and business to our town. This will be one of the most difficult problems facing the board in the next fewyears. From experience he has found that it is easier to raise taxes than to lower them. Two otlier problems to be faced are town planning in conjunction with a county planning board and possibly annexation due to increased population and more suburban living Conditions are changing rapidly and local municipalities must be ready to face them. A community cannot progress and continue to grow at the same time. Van Buren township had a 25.4 per cent population increase over a ten year period. Waubee Lake park, owned by Milford. is one of the best recreational facilities in this area. It is a valuable asset to our community and it has been made so by several local organizations that have contributed money and labor to improve it. At the present time the Chamber of Commerce is working in conjunction with the town board to further improve the park. He states a waste stabilization system is an expensive, but necessary project that will require both a board’s time and judgment in getting it done. From information he has gathered he feels the waste field would be the least expensive, but enI tirelv satisfactory as has been prov,en by several towns our size that have already installed, them. Mr. Augsburger is in favor of enforcing the junk car ordinance that

the town now has. He would only favor a judge for Milford in case a majority of the citizens desired one. Milford’s streets, according to the candidate, are generally in good condition for which he thanks past boards and he is in favor of keeping then that way. The state returns gas tax money to each corporation and with careful planning it should be sufficient in most cases to keep the streets in repair. He does not think it is necessary to tax locally unless a new street project should be undertaken. He has always been an advoate of the belief that local government can best serve its community at lower administrative costs and with cooperation between organizations and citizens with its elected officials, Milford will continue to be a town in which we will be proud to live. He says to vote on November 7 — this is your town. He is sure that after the election those who are elected and those who lose will have their town’s interest at heart or they would not have filed as candiates to sen e on the town board. Mr. Augsburger is an elder in the Christian church, a memiier of the Chamber of Commerce and a Mason.

Leaders of Syracuse boy scout troop 28 are aware of the fact that a good number of scouts and leaders of the past have been forgotten by many and are currently attempting to bring the past history to light. They are asking that anyone having recorcb, ribbons, pictures, certificates, newspaper articles or anything pertaining to scouting in Syracuse consider donating them to the troop. It is hoped in particular that charters of the past years may be located. The Rotary dub of Syracuse has sponsored the troop since 19M>, Prior to that the troop was organized in October of 1941 by Ronald Workman and sponsored by the Syracuse Ministerial association with Rev. Wallace Deyo signing the charter as the executive officer of that organization. The scoutmaster. Roy Frever had 17 scouts and there is evidence that some of the boys had had previous scouting as there were star, life and Eagle scouts listed. The items collected will be put on display with notations aS to the
