Arson suspected in Saturday barn fire A large 40 x 80 foot barn and its contents were destroyed by fire Saturday night on the Robert Strieby farm located northeast of Syracuse on U.S. 6 and investigation continues into a possible case of arson. Young Strieby was not at home at the time of the fire which was discovered by members of the Benton township fire department at 8:20 p.m. as four fire units were participating in a radio check and were southbound on U.S. 33 near the Strieby farm. Sparks threatened the nearby garage and farmhouse, however, firemen contained the fire to the barn area In the barn were a 1972 Pinto, a 1956 Farmall tractor, grain drill, com planter, hay rake, several other farm implements and about 150 bales erf straw. Loss in the fire was placed at more than SIO,OOO. High winds whipped the flames of the fire which started in the northwest comer of the barn, which did not have electric service. Adding to the possibility of arson was the fact a door on the north side of the building was closed when the owner left home, but open when firemen arrived on the scene.

Syracuse terminates town engineer, hires new one

Syracuse town board members, at a special meeting last week at town hall, terminated J. Ben Wilson of Indianapolis as town engineer presently working on the town water and sewer projects. During the same meeting. D. H. Lessig Engineers. Inc., of Warsaw were hired to fill the position. Also during the past week, interviews were held prior to the meeting, to determine a replacement for Wilson who was hired around May of 1972. The meeting entered into a discussion concerning the infiltration - inflow study presently being considered for the sanitarysewer system and further discussed the fact that since the study would need to be made by a registered professional engineer the town would now be utilizing the services of two engineers which didn’t appear to be the most reasonable arrangement. It appeared that one professional engineering firm could provide all of the engineering services required by the town, and it was acknowledged that three professional engineering firms had been consulted and interviewed relative to the requested study. It appeared to the Board that a greater economy could be realized by utilizing services of only one registered professional engineering firm rather than the obvious two firm arrangement now being encountered. and also the board determined that it desired the services erf a firm located close to Syracuse for convenience and prompt availability. At the conclusion of the foregoing discussion, motion was made by Marion Miller and seconded by Carl Myrick, that the services of the engineering firm of J. B. Wilson and Associates. Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, as consulting engineers for the Town of Syracuse be terminated for the reasons that the board desires the same engineering firm to do all of the sanitary sewerage work required commencing with the infiltration - inflow study, and through a complete sewer system evaluation which will require the utilization of services erf a different engineering firm since the Wilson firm does not actually undertake all of such work, and with the = belief that a greater continuity- can be achieved in the total project and that certain savings will be realized by the elimination of duplication of work by engineers, and for the further reason that it appears that the services of an engineering firm located in closer proximity to Syracuse would be advantageous and would provide greater availability of a representative at board meetings and for consultation with the water and sewer superintendent, and further a firm with more than one engineer available so that assistance might be available for water and sewer problems during the absence of a given engineer. The foregoing motion was unanimously adopted. The termination letter was sent to Wilson’s Indianapolis office, also requesting town data to date acquired by Wilson along with his itemized statement for services

to date. For the past two winters Wilson has vacationed in Florida for a number of weeks and has no consultant available when questions by town board members have arisen. In the letter to Wilson, feelings were expressed of having a firm nearer Syracuse for quicker assistance when needed and also, during extensive research on town projects forthcoming, felt it would be more economical to the town and townsmen in overall time and money. A town board spokesman added that Lessig is familiar with the Syracuse layout and water systems as this firm designed the {riant in 1962. with possible plans if and when expansion would be needed. Board passes ordinance 74-3 The Syracuse town board last night passed ordinance 74-3, dividing the town into wards and providing for the election of trustees to the town board of trustees fromjeach ward. The division of the town into five wards is based on new town boundaries including the three recently annexed areas, and the ordinance carries a legal description of each new ward. Two New Members Two new members were then named to the town board to make it a full five-member board. New members include Mrs. Larry (Christine) Clodfelter (ward 1) and Lorin O. Knispel (ward 5). See accompanying article. Building commissioner Ed Anderson told the board he had ordered the removal of a mobile home near the Pines on the east side of Lake Wawasee as of April 1. The home did not meet permit specifications. Anderson said. Board president Darrel Grisamer said he had no information to report as yet from Renner Sanitation concerning cost of garbage pick-up in newly annexed areas, but he hoped to in the near future. He also said new plat maps were being donated to show lot measurements and locations, and that they would soon be available. Ed Anderson said he has issued nine building permits, five dwelling permits totaling SBB,OOO, one garage for $2,900, and three additions and alterations totaling $9,200, for a total of SIOO,IOO. Scout Cabin Parking Parking in front of the Boy Scout cabin came up for discussion, it appearing that employees of a nearby firm are parking in front of the scout cabin door. It was finally decided to talk to those parking there, asking them to park elsewhere. The matter was tabled until the next board meeting. New board member Knispel was appointed a member of the Boy Scout board. Attending the meeting besides the two new members were Darrel-Grisamer, Marion Miller and Carl Myrick.
