Kuilema asked Grisamer if VanHemert would reconsider his decision to resign and Grisamer stated that given a vote of confidence by the board he thought that he would. Grisamer is to contact him about the latest action of the board and see what his attitude will be about the matter. Sometime ago residents on North Huntington street and Washington street had asked for clarification on use of the alleys in the area. The alley traffic particularly bothered Mrs. Raymond Poynter who has a day nursery and was worried for the safety of the children and several older people who have to make emergency trips to the doctors. It was decided to make the alleys in that area one way, west and one way, north. Grisamer stated he was against the one way alleys because it was just a neighborhood squabble, he made a motion to this effect which he later withdrew. The motion for the one way alleys was made by Tom Prickett and seconded by Kuilema with Noble Blocker also voting in favor of the motion. Town attorney Frey mentioned there was some survey work that needed to be done for the town in the Chicago street area and the abstract for the telephone company which had been requested by them is in the process of being done. The town surveyor will be notified of the work that needs to be done on these matters. Another matter that is still under advisement is the remonstrance which was filed by Liberty Coach against the town because of the east-west alley that crosses the street near Maple City Tool was not vacated by the town. This would cut off the flow of traffic down the street and would make water and sewage work in the area difficult. The town is ready if this matter gets into court. It was mentioned the mill pond needs cleaning and Vella Baumbaugh was instructed to tell the street commissioner, Harley Conrad, about this. Mrs. Baumbaugh is an employee of the water department. Five families on South Lake street asked the property at 630 be kept clean through the town ordinance this year. The property is owned by William Stotts of Chicago. The Stotts will be notified that the town will keep the weeds down and they will be billed for the work if they do not make other arrangements. The property has been empty for eight years. Another property which is in need of clean-up is the old Darr

Impeding progress?
Dear Editor: I would like to convey my thanks and appreciation to all who have given moral and financial support to the “Concerned Citizens” group. A special thanks to those who so generously made financial contributions though not residents of the neighborhood concerned. There has been a small minority in disagreement with our stand on the premise that we are impeding progress. According to Webster’s dictionary, progress is, “going forward toward perfection.” When many interested citizens spent many hours to establish Zoning Ordinances for the Town of Syracuse, to assure that future development in said Town would be accomplished in a manner favorable to all, that was PROGRESS. When these same Ordinance? are flagrantly disregarded, the peoples right to demand the Town Officials to enforce these Ordinances is denied, that is REGRESSION. If there were a vital need for buildings of this type there might be some small justification for such action but as a similar building constructed in 1972 still has vacancies evidently there is property on High street. The person in charge of this according to town records for water is James Butt. He will be notified to clean up. the premises before other action needs to be taken. The 20 residents who live on North Shore drive in the area, which the town plans to annex after litigation which is holding up the matter is over, asked for permission to hook onto the town’s water system at their own expense. Spokesman for the group was Dr. C. W. Hursh. He had done some preliminary work which showed the cost of such work to be about S4OO per residence for the part which the town will later take over. This does not include the hook-up onto their properties which is the expense of each individual. The town board members are agreeable to getting this work done provided it meets the specifications required by the advanced planning of the town engineers, J. B. Wilson and Associates, Inc., of Indianapolis. Also at the meeting with facts and figures about the matter was Ray Bart of Water Distribution Equipment of Logansport. Dr. Hursh asked Mr. Frey if he could look into the legal aspects of the matter. Frey said he could have an agreement, much like the town has with Kinder, ready by the time the water equipment company had the approval from the engineer. Hursh stated money would not be a problem because ready financing was available to do the job if it could be cleared legally with the town. All five board members were in favor of this work, however, Grisamer asked what the immediate need for such action was. Hursh replied that the screen was going bad on the pump at the Vernon (“Bud”) Slabaugh home and to repair it they would need to cross his lawn. This is something that had been considered for some time and so it was decided through many phone conversations to try to go on with it

no such need. The same people, who feel denial of the right to build this building would be impeding progress, would be the first to object if the same project were suddenly transferred to a building site in close proximity to their own homes in violation of their area’s Zoning Ordinances. The people of the Front Street are also in favor of progress, but progress in a legal and orderly way. We fail to see how an apparently un-needed multiple dwelling, in a predominantly single family dwelling neighborhood, in violation of the Zoning Ordinances, can be called progress. We are not fighting for ourselves alone but for every property owner under the Jurisdiction of the Zoning Ordinances. Once utter disregard of rules and regulations are permitted with no resistance, the Zoning Ordinance can be thrown away. It is my belief that laws, rules, and regulations are made for all to obey. Let’s have no special dispensation for a select few. Eleanor B. Pipp 806 South Front St. Syracuse, Indiana at this time. Mrs. Wilbur Smith asked for the park board what arrangements could be made about the mowing at the park. The board wanted a definite answer so it could go on with the work of hiring a life guard for the summer. Kuilema replied the town mower could be used as long as a “kid” wasn’t using it. Mr. Conrad objects to someone using the mower who does not take care of it. The lifeguard being considered is 25, which should eliminate this problem according to Kuilema. Town clerk Betty Dust was not p-esent for the meeting and Vella Baumbaugh kept minutes in her absence. There were eight interested taxpayers present for the meeting in addition to those mentioned above. Cars collide in parking lot at Syracuse A 1973 Ford driven by Dolores F. Jones, r 3 box 90D Syracuse, sustained SBO in damages in an accident in Wawasee Village at 4:25 p.m. Thursday, May 24. The Jones car, owned by Dennis A. Jones of the same address, was being backed from a parking place in front of Thornburg’s Drugs when it collided with a 1972 Chevrolet, also being backed from a parked position. The Chevrolet, owned and operated by Percy O. Troyer, r 1 box 331 Syracuse, was not damaged. McClintics entertained by Deardorff Mr. and Mrs. H. D. McClintic of Portage, Mich., were entertained by the Deardorff family of Syracuse over the holidays. Mrs. Ida Deardorff was also visited last Wednesday by Everett Nicholas of River Forest, DI.
