tffIZINjOS AROUND^^IIfc^K Sw Did you hear what happened at Papakeechie Lake last Thursday evening?

Annexation — (Continued From Page 1) Mr. Perry said he had figures from insurance man Bill Little which stated one with a $30,000 home would save $6 per year on his insurance, and that industry would save about 8 per cent on insurance premiums. < Perry said the tax rate for Milford is now $9.34 and $7.11 for the township, a difference of $2.33, which he called “not a great difference.” He pointed out that if the $1 cumulative fund levy is removed in two years, the difference will be even less. Factory Viewpoint Mike Umbaugh, [resident of Barth, Inc., south of Milford, said he was “not for or against annexation,” but cited a lack of city water to his plant. Mr. Perry read a letter from Lakeland school superintendent Don Arnold which stated the corporation’s school children would continue to be picked up by school buses as before, and that this should not be a consideration in annexation. In a question and answer session, Dr. Miller said the town hopes to let contracts for its sewer line extensions and treatment plant by March 1,1973 with construction to begin next summer. He said in a year and a half to two years the town hoped to have services in that area, but water may take a full three years. Mr. Garrard said the present water tower was built before 1910 and that a new tower has to be constructed, although the present wells are in good, condition. Don Wolferman, farmer residing south of town, askea if the sewer lines would be brought to his new home, and finally stated “I don’t want it.” Rick Johnson, a new resident in the Meadow View Addition, said, “I just paid $1,500 for a septic system in our new home. How do I get my money back?” Dr. Miller told him the cost of hookup to the new sewer system is being figured by the state. A question came up several times, by Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Doll, Herman Weisser and others, why the town did not take in homes on the east side of town, and Dr. Miller said this is part of step 2. He said, “I can assure you these areas will be taken in in the next step.” Garrard said eventually the new Ralston Purina plant at Milford Junction would be taken in. Harry Dale Doty, contractor, said, “Why not take in Waubee Lake while you are at it?” Richard Hepler said the town cannot provide these services to the present community, and questioned that it could extend them to the annexed area, at which Dr. Miller commended past town boards for having the farsight in providing the $1 cumulative sewer fund. Board member Norman Lovell said the town’s big problem has been one little thing “called lack of money.” Paul Mathews said he heard the sewer line was to be only four feet deep, and Dr. Miller said nothing like this has been discussed. And Robert Ruch, service station owner, who has his business and home in the annexed area, asked if the town actually has the federal funds now, and was told they do not. Attorney Garrard told the group about the new federal money just released, pointing out

that Milford has gone from 138th position in the state to “the top of the list” since it has over SIOO,OOO now available. Mike Umbaugh asked if federal funds for sewers are available without annexation, and was told annexation has nothing to do with federal funds. Glen Treesh asked if the new treatment plant would handle annexation stages 2 and 3, and Dr. Miller said the treatment plant as proposed will handle 1,850 users, with a potential of about 5,000 users. Treesh also said “we’re going to have a sewer system if we want it or not.” Rick Vanlaningham asked about new street lights, sidewalks and other services, and Dr. Miller said these would be brought to the annexed area. Rep. Mauzy — (Continued From Page 1) than two (2} consecutive terms. “This amendment would allow all of these officers to serve as many terms as the electorate of the county desired. It also would delete the coroner from the Constitution, making his office subject to regulation by law. A schedule attached to the amendment would move election of all of these officers to the nonpresidential year. (5.) Shall the constitution of the State of Indiana be amended to permit the General Assembly to establish by law a method of filling vacancies in the General Assembly? At the present time the only method of filling a vacancy in the General Assembly is for the Governor to call a special election. “The amendment would allow the General Assembly to decide how the vacancies would be filled. Elkhart County TSC Meets Chairman John Funk of the Indiana state police presided for the September meeting of the Elkhart County Traffic Safety committee. Fatal statistics given for the county totaled 32 with 26 listed for the year previous. Cause factors for the urban area by order of importance Failure to yield right of way and running stop signs, following too close, speed too fast for conditions, improper turning, driving left of center. ' Cause factors listed for rural area were: Speed too fast for conditions, failure to yield right of way and running stop signs, driving left of center, following too close and improper overtaking. It was reported the road inventory has been completed for Cleveland, Middlebury, Washington and Union townships, and turned over the county highway department for review and action. Also reported was that all highway signs between Goshen and Elkhart on U.S. 33 have been removed but will be replaced soon; and that the railroad crossings on the big four between Goshen and Milford are extremely dangerous with pictures of these hazards being submitted to Penn Central for corrective action. Guard Rail Original plans for U.S. 33 from Elkhart to Goshen called for a raised median center, however, the plan was dropped in favor of a center rail. Since that time, and due to complaints from businesses, it was decided to discontinue even the center rail. Members of the committee felt there should be a median rail, with appropriate intersection breaks, and a letter sent to the highway commission regarding same. Lt. Stan Troyer of the Elkhart police department reported verbal approval had been obtained from all nine property owners to proceed with a walkway from CR 13 to Homeland Road. Barbara Swihart. of the Homemaker’s club reported that women from six states participated in the regional conference meeting at Michigan State on September 6 through 8 and that response was excellent. The resignation was accepted from Jim McQuinn. The next meeting will be held at 1:45 p.m. on October 11 at the sheriff’s department squad room in Goshen.
