Phil Oppenheim, My Store says, "I am of the >•; opinion that uptbwn Syracuse desperately needs to g remove the parking meters." £ "I personally feel that parking meters should be $ taken out," said Chuck Clevenger, Mr. Pickwick's Men's Wear. Clevenger favors a two-hour parking alternative because, "The parking meter is outdated. It's been proven in larger cities." Os the $ removal of the meters Clevenger says, "I think it would be a big benefit to the business community. $ The good will will be more than they can make off g the parking meters." | X Byron Connolly, who owns the grocery store on g Main street, said, "I'd be willing to try it without g them. I never wanted them in the first place. As far g as I can see, I don't see the purpose. Half of them g don't work." j g Contemplating the idea of removing the meters * is Sherry Keim, the Little People's Shoppe. "I think g free parking draws more people.

"If you don't there will be people g taking advantage of that." "I want them left in," said Leila Connolly, g "Because everyone who works uptown would park there. There Wouldn't be anyone who can park on g the street. That's the reason they put them in."

Plan commission shows aerial photographs of Turkey Creek

A film strip of the aerial infrared NASSA photographs taken of Turkey Creek township was viewed Thursday evening. July 29, by members of the Syracuse town board and board of zoning appeals. Viewing of the film strip was requested by the Syracuse plan commission since its members are seeking authorization of a $l5O expenditure from the town board to conplete the township filming Purdue university officials. Dr. Anne Spacie and Roger Huffer, were present to explain how the photographs could assist the classification of land for the new land use map being completed for the Turkey Creek rezoning study. Huffer stated the aerial photographs, along with known specific land conditions, can help to determine where the prime agriculture land is as opposed to poor producing land. James Tranter, town board president, emphasized that the growing population in the township indicates the need to know for rezoning purposes where additional housing units, industrial and commercial areas should be established A motion made by Mike Umbaugh during the plan commission s public meeting to ask the town board for the $l5O for completion of the township filming. 'lt was approved unanimously Petition To Committee Other business during the Formers — . (Continued from page I) “Our yield wasn't as good as last year, but it was okay.” Beer explained that his wheat came up early and was frozen in a freezing spell last May. At the Leesburg Grain Elevator, Incorporated, a state bonded warehouse. 250,000 bushels of wheat are already stored, with room for another 250,000 bushels. Manager Jerry Kammerer said that the storage capacity at the elevator for wheat was normal for this time of year. Most farmers in the area began the harvest June 28 and finished around July 15. The price for wheat at the facility, as determined by the Chicago board of trade, was $3.00 per bushel last Wednesday. “It could be better," said Kammerer about the price. “The farmer can make money at that price. The farmer would say it could be better.” The per bushel price can vary as much as 20 cents per day Kammerer added. “I’ve heard as high as 60 and as little as 12," Kammerer remarked about the number of bushels per acre local fanners were getting Their harvests seem to be averaging between 35 and 40 bushels Kammerer said. Kammerer termed this year’s harvest “worse", saying that last year’s average per acre was 50 bushels. “A farmer usually shoots for 60 bushels for wheat.” he said. “No, it isn't a good price.” said Richard Vanator, r 2 Leesburg, who sold about half of his 4,800 bushels The other half of his yeild he’s holding until the price rises “I want four dollars," Vanator said. “I'd like to have more, but TU settle for four. That’s what I’m holding for. Or until I’m desperate for money, whichever comes first.” His harvest was a little below average in bushels this year “The weather caused it to be short," Vanator said. He related that water had stood in the fields on top of the frozen ground "Some started to grow and freeze.” he explained. It cost Larry Kammerer, r 2 Leesburg, over SSO per acre to put out his wheat crop. He sold all his 1,800 bushels of wheat at prices between $3.10 and $3.35. “It wasn’t too bad,” Kammerer said in referring to his selling prices. Kammerer's best field yielded 42 bushels an acre but others produced only 30 bushels. “In other years l ye had fields go as high as 80." lie remembers. "Ityust didn’t yield enough.” Kammbre/says. “It’s just a bad year for wheat.”

public hearing was the approval of the petition of the International Construction-IV to build a unit development at the Wawasee Prep site. Approval was tabled, but commission president Bill Beemer appointed a four-man commission to draft a recommendation concerning approval or denial of the petition request. The commission members Beemer. Umbaugh, Joseph Gray and Dave Smith are to meet August 5 to make their recommendation which will be presented at the next plan Peffley — (Continued from page 1) for $87,755.50. for making the following repairs and improvements on Boston street. Providing a new grade, new road bed, curb arxLgutter and a new sidewalk on the north side of the street. Lessig said work should be completed yet this summer Townsman Joe Hughes raised the question about work on the new sewer lines, stating residents in Wawasee Village and on Chicago avenue are “getting ouchy” about the delay. He was told by board president James C. Tranter and engineer Lessig that the bonds should be back on August 5 and that active work should begin next week Water Project Stalled Town attorney Robert Reed told the board the town’s water project has been stalled due to the fact that water consumers are charged a higher rate than the rate set for hydrants by the rate schettole adopted. He said hydrants should be charged $344 per year per hydrant (for 80 hydrants) rather than the $250 as provided by the rate schedule. Accordingly, the town passed Ordinance 76-14, an amendment to Ordinance 76-3, providing for the higher hydrant rates. Clerk-treasurer Betty Dust said this would amount to increasing the town’s budget by $20,000 and that it would mean tightening the • town’s belt elsewhere. Attorney Reed pointed out that until this is done, the public service commission would sit on the town’s request for a rate approval. Chief of police Ron Robinson said in two weeks there have been four bicycle accidents, two involving personal injury, and that he has had numerous bicycle complaints He asked for a city organization to help formulate rules and regulations pertaining to bicyclists. He said he has instructed police to enforce a state law that motorists do not follow a fire truck or fire fighting unit closer than 500 feet, nor to park within a block of said equipment at a fire. He said this would be enforced. Robert Farber of the street department said there are no fire extinguishers in the town bam. “All we have is the creek,” Farber sighed. Board member Dave Nine said, "We’d better check on that. We’d better pay SSO for extinguishers than to pay SIO,OOO fine.” The board okayed an expenditure of $175 for extinguishers. Renner Sanitation. Ligonier, has been contacted and will soon provide enough dumpsters for the entire town, member Tranter said. Member John Cripe asked that the 30 mph limit in Village Annex be reduced to 20 mph. Chief Robinson said-a traffic survey would have to be made to change the speed limit in a residential rone, set by law at 30 mph. Board member Darrell Grisamer arrived at the meeting late, having been contacting residents on old road 13 and Pickwick road who want sewer tines run to their areas. The board elected to evaluate the names and consider them at the next board meeting. The board will meet Monday, Aug. 9. with representatives of Latz and Associates of Fort Wayne to consider the new zoning ordinance in its entirety-

commission meeting on August 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the town hall. The commission will take final actioti and then present it to the BZA on August 19. Petition Seeks Approval According to Medlock of International Construction, the petition seeks approval to build a unit retirement community in a B-residential zone. The community would be composed of 143 apartments for persons 62 years and older. The development buildings would include a “W" shaped addition to the main building, a 40-bed health care facility with a possible addition of 100 units, approximately 20 single group housing units and commercial establishments within the center for the retirement residence. The plan establishes a lifelease Concept, but this requirement is not a part of the petitions seeking approval, since where financing is obtained it is subject to change. Medlock indicated he hoped that the lifelease concept would not become a stipulation BZA attorney Robert Reed explained that if BZA approves the petition, stipulations can be included. Also BZA approval would be necessary first if plans should be altered later. Public Concern Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones questioned the use of commercial facilities and indicated they were not in favor of the public patronizing the commercial establishments of the center. Through further questions by Steve Hays, who favored the lifelease concept, Medlock assured the group that units would revert back to the property owners upon death of the individual leaser. Individual owners, such as a condominium type ownership, is not being proposed. Preferred plans for the sewage treatment for the multi-unit facility is to hook onto the town line which presently will end at Harborside Con diminium. If this plan is impossible, the second alternative is to run a tine to sewage plant services at the Enchanted Hills ana.
