Williams of South Bend to work on the up-coming sewage treatment project, to give Baxter and Woodman of Crystal Lake, ID., approval to make plans showing new sewage lines for the town and they voted against

passing a three-way liquor ordinance at this time. Board president Dr. T. A. Miller and Mrs. Bessie Sunthimer met with representatives of Clyde E. Williams earlier in the day to discuss a proposed contract for a resident engineer from that South Bend firm. The contract calls for two times the payroll plus expenses not to exceed $19,000. Because the engineer would be working on a part-time basis, board members do not expect the total figure to run this high. The town’s civil and sanitary engineers, Baxter and Woodman, have agreed to work with the Clyde E. Williams representative and agree it would be less expensive for the town because of the difference in travel from South Bend than Crystal Lake. All board members felt the hiring of the resident engineer from the South Bend firm was the best thing to do. Bessie Sunthimer said she felt safer with a man from an engineering firm checking the job because they are acquainted with that type of work. Board member Norman Lovell said he felt there was no need to discuss it further since the cost is comparable with that of Baxter and Woodman and maybe even less since they would save on travel and expense. Lovell made the motion and Mrs. Sunthimer added a second with the motion carrying. Dr. Miller said he had talked with Baxter and Woodman on the proposed new sanitary sewage system for the town of Milford. Representatives of the engineering firm said they had filed for the new 75 per cent federal grant. The engineers

proposed that they be given permission to prepare plans for the sewers. If the federal grant is approved the town board proposes to install a new sanitary sewer system in Milford and to use the present sewers for storm sewers. Presently the sewers are serving a dual purpose. The Illinois firm has agreed to wait for payment for the work to be done until the federal grant is received. Since the sewer system is going to have to be up-dated sooner or later and Milford can not fund it without federal help, board members instructed clerktreasurer Harry Schultz to write letter to Baxter and Woodman granting permission for the work to begin. The letter is to carry a paragraph stating the firm will not be paid for said work until federal funds are received. Three-Way License Board members also discussed the passing of an ordinance allowing for a three-way license in town. Mrs. Betty Hare had requested an ordinance be passed so she could apply for such a license. Mrs. Sunthimer wanted to know what advantages the town would have to passing such an ordinance. Dr. Miller said even if the town passed an ordinance for a three-

We will be giving you a breaks down on all the football positions soon. For now it is Hoosier Basketball. Any resemblance to the Russians is purely coincidental. “If John Wooden has a successor it is Bob Knight” and the recruiting of Kent Benson helps this phrase along. There is a rumor that LeGarde, the 7 footer from Detroit, is also in the mood to come to I.U. because it would let him play forward. If so where will Bob play all of them? He has fast improving, competitive Steve Green a junior and all year starter. He has Scott May who, at 6 ft. 6 has been termed a “Black Van Arsdale.” This soph was in a scrimmage game against Joby Wright and one of the guards in the game tells me he literally “ate Joby up.” Maybe Joby was horsing around but he was all conference and has a year of NBA ball behind him. Any pro should handle “most” college freshmen easily anytime. May could outjump Downing consistantly and is 230 pounds and strong. He very well might be the best in the school next year and could be all-conference. A great player. Wilkerson from Madison Heights, was the star of stars in the Indiana-Kentucky all star game two years ago. He had studies problems the first

way license the board members had no assurance the Alcoholic Beverage Commission would grant a license. Attorney William I. Garrard told the board that the fact it adopts an ordinance doesn’t mean one will be granted, neither will the board have any say as to who will get a license. Dr. Miller said he was opposed to such a license in town, Mrs. Sunthimer said she too was opposed and Mr. Lovell said while he was not opposed he didn’t think such an ordinance should be passed at the present time. No further action was taken on such an ordinance. Attorney Garrard said the town owes $9,800 of the purchase price of land to Fred Schori for the proposed site of the new sewage treatment facilities. The town has carried an option on the land for the past two years with SIOO being paid each year. The money paid for the option will be applied to the SIO,OOO purchase price. Papers for the final purchase of land are to be signed in the near future. Board members said the federal government is in the process of giving final approval to the plans. Construction on the sewage treatment facilities should begin shortly after the final approval is given.

semester but did well the second. At 6 ft. 5 he is a zone breaker shooter and a very quick guard who can play forward. ,His presence will let the guards be aggressive for losing one on fouls will not be that serious. Quinn Buckner is going to Red China with a group in the “melt the iron curtain” movement — He had three choices, one of which was going with the I.U. team to the Canary Islands and Spain. I would have chosen the China trip too. This will give Craig Morris a chance. The words Quinn Buckner are selfexplanatory. Those who think the other guard might not be Jim Crews don’t know the importance of the lateral vision guard. He is the best in the country at this. He is a “Ritter” type and should shoot more but his unselfishness is a big factor in the “team.” Don Noordt at 6 ft. 8 is strong and a good backup at both center and forward and maybe starting center. This sophomore will be heard from. His abilities lets a coach maneuver his players. He is more valuable than most people realize. His strength could well place him at a starting slot ahead of Benson, at least early in the year. Where does this leave Super Sub Laskowski and soph Abernathy? They are the best relief men in the country but still relief

Wed., May 23,1973 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

to THE EDITOR

Turn it back on!

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This letter was sent to Paul Levernier and a copy to The Mail-Journal with a request that we publish it in defense of the Custom’s Crest noonday and 5 p.m. siren.) Dear Mr. Levernier: We read your article as to why your whistle is not alerting us at 12:00 and 5:00. As you know, we are very close to you, however, we live by that whistle. Chet especially keeps track of his time by using it as a divider of the day and a memory peg. Do you know how many days

Concerned citizens form ad hoc group

Dear Editor: We concerned citizens living in the vicinity of the Turkey Creek bridge on Front street in the town of Syracuse have organized an ad hoc group to seek help in our search for justice. And justice in this case means only that the zoning ordinance of Syracuse shall be enforced honestly and fairly. A building permit was issued by the recently-resigned building commissioner authorizing a 12 unit apartment on a lot of less than 15,000 sq. ft. The ordinance stipulates that no more than six units shall be built on this site. Moreover, the building plans submitted contain several other violations of the zoning law. The town board of Syracuse has the legal right and power to rescind this invalid permit. For some reason it has been highly reluctant to limit the size of this complex to the six units the law permits. We concerned citizens contend that because of the size, nature, and location of the building site in question: 1. An apartment building over six units is illegal and must be prohibited according to the law; 2. All rules pertaining to setbacks, parking spaces, and other building requirements as outlined in the law must be enforced; 3. An apartment over six units must be prohibited because it will cause dangerous traffic and parking conditions in an already congested area, because it will overtax existing sewer lines running from the area, and because it will further change the complexion of this predominantly single-home, neighborhood-type residential section of town. We point further to the fact that the intent of the Syracuse zoning ordinance (as with all zoning ordinances) is and always has been that the legitimate interests and rights of the large majority of an area’s residents shall receive top priority when zoning decisions are made. Residents of

we would forget to stop and have lunch without it?; When people get busy and wrapped up in their work, time gets away from them. Do you know that a lot of construction workers gauge themselves by your whistle? Also, it’s not only the adults that live by your whistle, our four-year-old son knows that when it goes off, “it’s time to eat!” We say turn it back on! Sincerely, The Entire Office staff at Elder Real Estate

this neighborhood stand united in their opposition to the granting of variances in the enforcement of the law in this situation. In brief then, We concerned citizens have petitioned the town board of Syracuse to do its duty, rescind this invalid building permit, and insist that the proposed apartment building be built within the limits of the zoning laws of our town. Finally, we ask all you good citizens of Syracuse to give us your support! Our interests are in jeopardy this time. Yours may be next!!
