Defer Front street parking decision

The Syracuse town board, meeting last night at town hall with only three members present, held in abeyance an ordinance to restrict parking on Front street in light of a protest by several North Front street restdents to the restrictive ordinance. Present to speak against parking only on the west side of Front street were John Fisher. Mrs. Richard Neff. Mrs Fred Traster and Melinda Firestone. Mr Fisher pointed out that he has parking space off the street for only one vehicle, and that he would be forced to remove a tree to make more parking available He also said the lots on North Front street are not as deep as they are on the south end of the street where the ordinance was to have its major effect. The ordinance was originallyproposed due to danger to vehicles coming over the channel bridge on the south end of that street. Mrs. Traster said she objected to having all cars parked on the west side of the street, since this “would make a solid line of cars” and limit her parking She also said cars would travel faster on the street with parking only on one side Police chief Dale Sparklin. who made the original survey of Front street residents prior to drawing up the ordinance, said he would be glad to retrace his steps and get a more definitive answer from residents involved by the next board meeting Board member Carl Myrick said. “Th>s sheds new light on the matter.” and he suggested holding the ordinance until further resident opinion could be gained.

$379,380 In Permits Building commissioner Rex Yentes told the board he issued 29 building permits during the past month involving $379,380 in construction. He said he also served one violation notice. Park board president Sparklin said on Wednesday rafters would be put up on the new railroad park rest rooms. Fire chief Larry Weaver told the board 37 new fire hydrants would be needed in the newly annexed area, plus one on Parkway and on Dolan Drive and three around the junior high school. Board member Loren Knispel won approval to expend $376.50 (a bid submitted by Harley' Conrad) to hook the scout cabin onto the city sewer lines, and clerktreasurer Betty Dust said she had a bid of $2,440 for a sand spreader, complete with controls. Makahibi Aug. 23-25 Dave Siegfried, a member of the sponsoring Warsaw Lions club, received board permission to hold the annual Makahibi at city park August 23, 24 and 25. He outlined the three-day program culminating in a dance at the junior high school Saturday night with the crowning of a king and queen He was reminded of the citycurfew which makes allowances for youngsters going from the dance to their billet at SmithWalbridge camp. Gary Ringler, a resident of South Main street, asked the board if it could either discontinue or quiet the city fire siren. He said it has at least 140 decibels, which is injurious to the ears. Mrs. Dust told Mr. Ringler she raised two children in the same vicinity and that neither of them became deaf. Fire chief Larry Weaver called the siren “important,” stating that the noontime siren had been discontinued for reasons suggested by Mr. Weaver. He said to discontinue the siren would be a grave mistake. Board member Myrick. said he had been a fireman for 16 years and could attest to the importance of the siren. A beeper electronic device, as suggested by Ringler, would be unworkable, Myrick stated. The board will meet in special session on Monday, Aug. 26, for budget approval The proposed budget for the city appears elsewhere in this issue. Town attorney Robert Reed conducted the meeting Absent were board president Darrell Grisamer and Marion (“Doc”) Miller.

League champ was Rotary and tourney champ, Pilchers by defeating the Lions 4-3 in finals. Robbins — (Continued From Page 1) Nick Carter was editor of an earlier weekly publication — The Cromwell News. He says there was a fellow named Smith who made a fortune at the Saint Louis Exposition, who came back to Cromwell and built three twostory brick buildings on the east side of the street which was devastated by the fire, and they still stand. Don s sole interests have not been confined to Cromwell. In 1968 he asked “B” about making a trip with him to Europe. “I always wanted to see Europe.” he recalls telling her “B” had no desire to make the trip, so Don made it by himself and spent “four wonderful weeks" touring the continent of Europe. Came To Journal’s Aid Don Robbins has always been a good journalist and would always come to the aid of a fellow newspaperman when the occasion arose. Ulis was apparent on February 2.1946 when fire swept the Pickwick Block in uptown Syracuse and burned out the block, including the entire printing plant on North Huntington street, owned by J. Barton Cox, owner and publisher of the Syracuse-Wawasee Journal. For about a year after that The Journal was printed in the Cromwell printing plant with Robbins doing such yoe man’s duties for his neighboring publisher friend as was required. In the intervening years Robbins has built a well-equipped printing plant at Cromwell ! With the advent of offset printing, resulting in considerable good used hot metal printing! equipment flooding the market, Robbins took advantage of the situation and upgraded his plant with first-class, low-cost equipment. He bought much of his “new” equipment from George Witwar. owner and publisher of the Auburn Star and Kendallville News-Sun, when these publications went offset. Robbins' shop today is light years away from the old. muse urn-type Washington press that Robbins first learned to operate as a young lad in his father s print shop at Cromwell. Robbins is probably one of the only living journalists today who actually operated a Washington hand press where type was inked by hand and an individual sheet of paper placed over the type before the top platen was squeezed down on the type. The Washington press and the wine press had much in common. Robbins recalls. He also set type from a California type case, one letter at a time, before his father installed the first linotype linecasting machine in 1923 The new hot metal machine was a fascination to young Robbins and he went to the Mergenthaler linotype school in Chicago for seven months to master the intricacies of the newfangled machine. Like his dad. Don has been a good teacher, and has taught his daughter Greta most all phases of the operation at Cromwell. She and her husband Jim have three daughters. Robin 18. Ren, 17, and Ranell, 16. and a son. Rock, six. There’s a good chance one or more of these youngsters will get printer’s ink in their blood Robin returned home Friday
