Peffley said the wire, taken from the old Milford street light circuit on Saturday, was taken from 5 p.m. Saturday until Monday morning. It weighed about one ton and is valued at fifty cents per pound, Peffley commented. Perry Troyer in two-car accident A Syracuse man, Perry O. Troyer, 66, r 1, was involved in a two-car accident Friday at the junction of CR 142 and CR 23. The 6 p.m. accident also involved Merrill L. Eash, 36, New Paris. Both drivers escaped injury.

Damage was estimated at $2,000. Town Board — (Continued From Page 1) At the last meeting of the board, May 1, town attorney Bruce Frey gave the opinion there were perhaps 18,000 square feet of land available But Dalton, in his presentation, stated that “Our opinion,” derived by the plans drawn up by Herbert Underwood, a surveyor, is there are only 14,000 plus square feet available. Each unit is supposed to contain at least 2500 square feet, and, Dalton argued, an eight-unit building would therefore need 20,000 square feet of space, even more than Frey’s estimate of what is available. Another major point of contention is the plans show the edge of the stairwell will be only two feet from the property line, whereas zoning ordinances prescribe that there must be at least a five foot set-back. Questions of sewage and parking were also raised. Dalton suggested that the Front street residents were asking only that someone be hired to calculate the actual square footage available for a building. Frey opened his remarks speaking of a compromise which had been reached at an earlier meeting with the boaVd of trustees, a representative of the Pinneys and at least two Front street residents. He emphasized the compromise was reached on a strictly legal basis. Questions such as sewage and parking could not enter into the decision, as the law states if the zoning requirements are met, the permit must be granted. Frey observed finding the exact square footage of the lots is not important, as current opinion is there is enough room for either six or eight units. He also commented if the building does not fit on the available land, the Front Streeters will obviously “win by default.” Frey advised the board to deny the petition as out of order. The board, he said, cannot even consider denying a building

second with 29,740; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gerstner, third with 27,260; and Mrs. Allan V. Stackhouse and Miss Irene Abts, fourth with 26,330. New prizes given this year went to Mrs. William Brammer for the most matches won and to Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Kuilema for the highest single net score for one match. Monday’s Winners Winners on Monday night were as follows: First, Charles Haffner; second, Dr. G. W. Stalter; third, Jess Pritchett; fourth, Mrs. C. H. Yeager; fifth, Mrs. Robert Brown; sixth, Roy Price; and travel, Mrs. Wayne Bucher. Chairmen for next year’s play are Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Stalter and Mr. and Mrsj William Wesner.

permit, as it has already been issued. The board did not issue the permit, he reminded those present it came in in the middle of the situation. Frey called on the Front street residents to enforce their rights under the zoning ordinance. If they want to carry through with their objections, the burden of proof is legally on those objecting to the permit. He remarked it is not incumbent on the board to pay for an accurate measurement of the lots; that is the job of the those who are appealing the permit. Much discussion continued on the legality of the permit, the board’s authority and whether or not the building, as it is now planned, will be two feet out in the water. However, as a compromise had been reached earlier, stating the Pinney’s could build a structure with no more than eight units, further discussion was called to an end by Louis Kuilema, saying, “We’ve gorffe about as far as we can go.” In old business, Joe Hughes questioned whether the town should continue to buy gas from Heyde Oil, as the station was not always open when he needed |£as for the fire trucks. He cited Two instances when this had occurred. The question was tabled and it was decided to continue to buy from Heyde for the next month, as scheduled. Joe Gray spoke about the drainage problem at the Little League park. He stated they had not yet discovered if the problem was in their drainage system or if it actually involved a much larger area. This question was also tabled until the board could get further information. The board approved a request from the Frog Tavern to recommend them for a Sunday liquor license. In new business, representatives from the Warsaw Lions club discussed the annual' Makahiki with the board. Receives injuries from brick Don Gates, r 6 Goshen, received cuts to the left arm when the windshield in the truck he was driving was shattered by a brick. The track which Gates was driving belonged to Anderson Bolling Manufacturing and was on SR 15 between Leesburg and Milford when the incident occurred at 11:30 p.m. Monday. The incident was reported to Warsaw police by Gates and he was advised to see his family physician by the Murphy Medical Center in Warsaw. Mail box prank backfires Two young men, one a Syracuse youth and the other a Milford youth, were - observed Tuesday night moving a mail box from the sidewalk into the street. The observer reported the license plate number to the Syracuse police and the parents of the two were notified and the youths returned to where the incident had taken place. The mail box was then returned to its proper place. $750 damage in two-car collision A two-car collision Sunday at 5:45p.m. resulted in $750 damage to the two cars involved. The accident which occurred on CR 500E involved Jeffrey B. Mench, 18, Syracuse, and Anthony L. Newman, 19, Milford. Damage was set at $575 to the Mench vehicle and $175 to the Newman auto. No injuries were reported.
