Need population count —

Syracuse town board to remain

two members short

The Syracuse town board will remain two members short of its usual five-man board until all population figures of the newly annexed areas are in, it was determined at the board meeting last night. The remaining members are temporary president Darrel Grisamer, Carl Myrick and Marion (“Doc”) Miller. Grisamer presided at the meeting last night. Two board members, Tom Prickett and Charles Haffner resigned at the last board meeting due to the fact that both were moving out of the city limits. Need Representation Member Grisamer said the board could name two new members at this time, but that they might only serve several months until the population count is made and then they would be unseated. Grisamer said the new members could be seated sometime after January 1, 1974. Town attorney Robert Reed reported on a letter he had sent on behalf of the town to town engineer J. Ben Wilson concerning the application of the Argonaut Corp, to tie an 80-unit condominium onto the town’s sewer system. A second letter from attorney Reed went to the state stream pollution control board, and that the board was to rule on the request at a meeting on Tuesday of this week. It was an early opinion that the present sewer system would handle the added units. Conrad Report Street commissioner Harley Conrad reported on the October flow in the sewage lines as being an average of 240,000 gallons per day (a high of 274,000 gallons, and a low of 191,000 gallons. He said the first 19 days of November showed the flow dropped to 207,000 gallons per day (a high of 246,000, and a low of 159,000 gallons). This is additional reason the lines could handle the Argonaut addition, Conrad said. Commissioner Conrad said the town should seek health insurance figures for town employees, as this is the first thing a new employee asks about, and that it has become a necessary part of employment. Police chief Orville Vanderßeyden showed the board a picture of a traffic problem in the 200 block on North Lake street, and asked the board to permit parking on the east side only. Attorney Reed was instructed to write such an ordinance for the next meeeting. Clerk-treasurer Betty Dust reported the state tax commissioners had approved the expenditure of $6,971 in federal revenue funds, originally turned down by the county tax board. The money will be used for an aerial survey of the town, S2OO for advertising federal revenue sharing funds. She also reported receiving a check for $321.94 from Mead & Glamorgan, as an out of court settlement in a cast iron pipe

The First National Bank at Milford mailed $46,855.84 to 212 members on November 16. The total of all First National banks this year was $265,766.13 to 1,404 members.
