Catherine Fackler. She has been employed for the past six years at the Star Store in Syracuse and has plans on opening her new business in Milford in several weeks. CAN YOU BELIEVE the nerve of some people? A couple was stuck in the mud Sunday altout three miles out of North Websrer. A truck driver stopped about 3:30 p.m. and asked if he could help. The couple asked him if he would call a gas station in town and have them send a tow truck to pull them out. About 5:30 p.m. the couple started walking toward town. Lucky for them about a half mile down the road a car stopped and gave them a ride. When they got to the station they found the man had stopped at the station but didn’t bother to tell anyone that they were stuck. The couple commented that it was a “great” way to spend a Sunday! THE ANNUAL spelling bee will be held at the Milford PTO meeting set for next Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school. SEEN RECENTLY at Augsburgers, some “senior sisters” having lunch together. They were Mrs. Herbert

Baumgartner, Mrs. Wilbur Baumgartner, Mrs. Joe Sunthimer and Mrs. John F. Augsburger. Some discussion came up in another booth about taxes and Mrs. John F. said, “Hey, don’t look at me.” . This is probably the feeling she gets with everyone approaching her and the state senator about the new tax legislation which is before the state Senate this week. “Babe” isn’t the voting member of the family. SUNDAY WAS a special day at the Milford Christian church as they welcomed their new minister Eldon Wilson, his wife Judi and their two daughters. A carry in dinner was enjoyed by the church members, their families and friends and a social hour was held. RHONDA AND Brenda Hurd, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hurd of Milford are seen sporting lovely tans following a recent trip to Florida. AREN’T THE new streetlights just great? LIONS DISTRICT Governor D. G. (Bud) Seely and his Mrs. are back on the convention trail. Last week they were at Ball State university in Muncie for the subdistrict convention of 25-D, next week they will be at the Triton high school for 25-G’s subdistrict, on the 17 and 18th they will be at South Bend for a state council meeting and the following week they will be at Bellmont high school in Decatur for the sub-district convention of 25-B.

Sewer discussions continue at Syracuse

Members of the Syracuse town board and citizens of the community continued discussions on the proposed sewer project for the town during the board’s regular meeting last night (Tuesday). The town is in the process of applying for federal funds to finance the project. Ronald Sharp was present to question board members on several points regarding the sewer project. He also stated facts and figures he had gathered on proposed costs for the project. Sharp thought the board should consider not installing sewers from the old pizza plant south since it would be hard to put in there. He asked the board to reevaluate these areas. Sharp said many people could not assort $12.50 (his figures) for a sewer each month after they retire and asked the board to re-consider the sewer improvements and additions. Noble Blocker asked what the rate was for the town of Warsaw. No answer was given. A thought was presented that it would lower the cost of the sewer project if persons living in the southern most part of the town would pay for extensions to their homes. Sharp noted the longer the delay in the project the more cost. The annexation delay will add about 25 p>er cent additional to the project’s cost. Darrell Grisamer, board member, asked what financial committment would be made by the town once the papers for the federal grant were signed. Attorney Bruce Frey said most of the work is done now. If they don’t submit the application they will loose another year. Frey continued that if the grant does not go through this year most of the information can be used in another year. The board is not committed, it is just making an application for money. Emil Koss was introduced and talked on an aerial map and survey. He said the photos would have to be taken before the trees bud. The pictures would show the entire town and would show buildings, streets, sidewalks, alleys, bridges, etc. He also said three people and four days would be needed for ground work. Board member Forest Smith asked why the town couldn’t use maps of the town already available. He said he thought only the aerial survey was necessary, no ground work. Koss said it would be impossible to have complete information. Smith said he was trying to save the town the $7,000 for the survey since maps could be obtained from the state conservation department. Frey asked what part of the total cost the flying over for the picture was. He was told S4OO to SSOO with the rest being leg work and drafting. Board member Tom Prickett said he felt the town was asking the wrong man. Smith said they;, were trying to save the town money. Frey said if they use Kosses maps he would be responsible for any errors. He asked the board who would be responsible if they used the state maps. He continued that this would come back to the town board if something were wrong with the state maps. Following continued discussions the board tabled its decision and a special meeting will be called after additional facts and figures are obtained. • Other Business In other business before the board Joe Hughes said four firemen are now qualified in scuba diving. He asked if the insurance they now have covers them while diving. The board will check on this. Hughes also asked what insurance covers the radio dispatchers. He was told the board had learned that to get restitution for the theft the fire department must report to the police and must file a copy in duplicate with the clerk-treasurer, listing items

lost and the monetary value of each. • Town attorney Frey told the board the transfer of funds (ordinance 73-5) from general to street is a temporary advancement and must be re-paid on or before December 31. The $6,000 being transferred is needed until the spring tax draw is made. The ordinance was passed. Louis Kuilema asked if the $6,000 balance could be carried in the budget for next year. Former clerk-treasurer Ronald Sharp said the state board of tax commissioners will not allow an operating balance to be carried in the budget for the street fund. A rezoning ordinance from a petition by Tom McClain and Joe Todd was introduced and passed. Hie area listed is to be rezoned from general business to roadside business. An inquiry was made to the state on using state funds for i street repairs. This was tabled until a reply is received. An ordinance was passed to change the minimum of 600 square feet of ground level floor space to a minimum of 720 square feet. Before any improvement permits are issued for multihousing, it must be referred to the Syracuse plan commission to review before being forwarded to the board of health for issuance. An ordinance restricting mobile homes is being considered and will be decided on at the next meeting. Tom Prickett suggested the gas and oil for the town be put up for bids for a one year period. This was approved. Grisamer will ask NIPSCo to have a representative present at the next board meeting to discuss the new street lights proposed.
