New Street Lights Are Approved At Milford

Members of the Milford town board gave a go-a-head Monday night for the Northern Indiana Public Service Company to change all current out-dated street lights to new 7,000 mercury vapor lights. Currently the town has 16 of the larger modem lights along the main business block and one of the smaller 7,000 mercury vapor lights in use plus 53 out-dated lights. With the recent rate increase the town is paying an additional $480.70 per year and not receiving any additional lighting. Richard Vanderveer, NIPSCo representative, stated the new lights will cost the town $485.40 per year. This is only $4.70 more than tiie current lighting system. Board president Dr. T. A. Miller said he was in favor of the change. Other board members agreed. Mrs. Bessie Sunthimer said this would be a good time to check over the town to see where the dark places are. Vanderveer said new lights would cost an additional $44.85 per year. He also stated it might be as long as four months before the change is completed. He suggested the town authorize NIPSCo to change the lights, then check on additional lighting and contact the company later with information on same. The approval was given and board members will be reviewing the needs of the town for possible additional lights. Park Report Dean Troup was present at the meeting and gave board members a proposed contract for Charles Baldwin. Baldwin is to be head lifeguard at the Lakeside park this summer. Troup said one lifeguard, Baldwin, is to be on duty week days with two lifeguards on duty over the week end. Baldwin plans to give swimming lessons at the park week day mornings. Board members questioned insurance coverage while Baldwin is giving the swimming lessons and approved his position and the proposed contract on a tentative basis with final approval to come after the insurance is checked. Troup said he is still looking for someone to run the concession stand during the coming summer months. Approval was given for the park board to contact Harold Manor in regards to picking up trash at the park this summer. Board members also gave their approval for a boat landing to be installed at the park and a row of posts tc? be put up between the park area and the area of the scout cabin. Troup questioned board members about the law suit, stating persons had told him donations would be given to the park if the law suit was settled. Town attorney William I. (Continued On Page 3)
