Annexation—(Cant’d. From Page 1) 574. and 575 for legal publications. Meetings The first meeting held the last of March at the scout cabin drew a large crowd of 100 interested persons for a public airing and briefing on area 1 located on the northeast section of town. Many pros and cons were heard during the evening session but nothing compared to concern shown by a slightly smaller group appearing for the area 2 meeting the following week. This area would include plans on the south and w est of Syracuse including The Weatherhead Company. Plant manager Don Novy and the company's legal council Frank Stearns of Cleveland quested many things concerning the annexation effect on the company. It was noted that taxpapers had 60 days following the last publication (March 18) oi the annexation ordinances in The Mail-Journal to file remonstrances. Remonstrances must carry at least 51 per cent of those being annexed or those owning 75 per cent of the valuation of the property to be annexed to bring the case before the county circuit court judge to rule on the merits of the remonstrance. Some 125 persons attended the last public meeting on April 14 for area three plans with much opposition and hostility shown. At this time, a number of persons asked that the annexation jrian be rescinded or deferred, several walked from the meeting and others fired many questions. The meeting ended with many unanswered questions and much hard feeling for the annexation plan Regular Session The following week after the last area meeting, some 50 persons appeared at the regular town board meeting, the overwhelmingly majority in protest to the town board’s approval of the three annexation ordinances. The entire evening was given over to hear citizen protests. Plant manager Novy said his company found no value to it through annexation and asked the board to rescind the ordinances and in a later statement said his company planned legal action to block annexation should the town board persist in making it a realty. Stanley Schrumpf said area 3 discussed as the town’s “problem child" but the group in this area felt the town had been misled and gave many figures and facts pertaining to his area. He also gave a veiled threat of legal action. E W Bechtold of Liberty Homes. Inc., said his company could see no benefit from annexation and that he personally questioned from the start the cost analysis that had been advanced. Over the days to follow, nothing on annexation came about at meetings however the board met informally on May 7 to give close scrutiny to petitions submitted to them on April 22 objecting to the proposed annexation. Remonstrances Remonstrance suits were filed in Kosciusko circuit court May 15 on behalf of Syracuse property owners from three areas of land in an attempt to block annexation to the town of Syracuse There were 118 names signed on area three petition, more than sufficient for the 51 per cent needed, opposed to the annexation which would have been the southeast area to the town. In the months to follow. Reed

and Hearn made surveys of taxpayers owning real estate in the proposed annexation areas for legality of signatures on petitions and the number for a .majority meeting requirements ’ to be able to remonstrate. Harry VanHemert of Syracuse was later hired to assist in signature and figure verifications. Further annexation progress in detail had not been brought to light before the public with definite plans until Tuesday night. Figures compiled by Van Hemert in July of 1969 showed 236 new units could be added to the town for revenues of water, sanitation, state and local taxes including two churches, eight industrial businesses. 67 commercial. and 159 homes.
