Mason — (Continued from page 1) He has told friends in the area that he sold the disputed land to “a group of black people from Fort Wayne.” .but did not elaborate. When an attempt was made this week to verify the sale of the land, it was learned that Mason and members of his family left Saturday morning for Florida. Mrs. Mason would not verify his whereabouts, stating “he might be in Texas as far as I know.” However. Mrs. Mason did refer this paper to a David Miller, whom she said was “a Fort W r ayne black attorney.” With the disappearance of Mason a veil of secrecy has been pulled over the case, and no one can verify if, in fact, the land has been sold. Earlier this year Judge Gene f B Lee ruled there was no cause for holding up development of the Mason site. And at this point the state is seeking 1.) a permanent restraining order against the defendants in this case, and 2.) is seeking the removal of fill already put on the site, asking that the site be restored to its natural state. Mason said last week Robert Glaser and Ronald Thompson, representing the State of Indiana. told him that the Department of Natural Resources would never give him a permit for anything and will keep the Mason property tied up in litigation for as long as possible.

Traffic — (Continued from page 1) some action was needed to stripe or mark the newly paved streets. “It may be to our advantage to buy a portable striper," Tranter said. Robinson presented some areas for the group to consider, including three side streets where speeding is a problem. He suggested that the committee could recommend four-way stops in these locations. Snow Removal Snow removal was another topic of discussion. “I think our town crews have done a fairly decent job," said Robinson. But he said that the crews cannot always clean them fully because of parked cars. A possible idea was to alternate one side of the street parking on alternate streets. The same move was discussed concerning street sweeping. Four traffic surveys have been made concerning a traffic light at Pickwick road, which were favorable, reported. Robinson. He said that a light could be installed next summer. Knispel remarked that such a light would back-up left turns at the location. “We are paving an abundant amount of streets,” Robinson said, noting that speeding will probably increase on them. He added that the east and west street in the village would be paved soon, and mentioned either speed bumps or stop signs could be placed on the streets. Robinson also suggested that a four-way stop sign might be appropriate on Harrison and Lake streets. He also said that a bad intersection was that of John and Front streets, saying. “I think we definitely need to eliminate some of the parking at the intersection." Four accidents have occurred on Palm street at the Village Bank within the last month and one-half, Robinson said. He said that the intersection was too small and that enlarging it might solve the problem. Also discussed by the committee was the possibility of closing off some of the turn off lanes on highway 13 south.

Paving will be done on the east side south to the bank and on the west side south to the church. “We hope to get them underway before the weather sets in,” Tranter said. Names Needed Some streets need to be named in the village, said Robinson. East and west streets were two discussed. Yoder remarked that they could be named after the first store owners in the area. Tom Socks and Orville Klink. Making the intersection at the top of Wawasee Heights a threeway stop was talked about. “We've had a lot of complaints about racing down the hill.” Tranter said. Mrs. John Stetler said that a woman on North Huntington street asked her for action on why her children have to walk to school on the street, as there are no sidewalks in the area. The school buses will not pick up the children at the woman's home. Tranter said the committee could not recommend anything to the school, and that the woman approach the school board about the situation. Jerry Herbison, a visitor, said he would like to see Front street made a one-way from John street south. And Mary Rock, another visitor, along with husband Charles said that last week end a motorhome was parked within eight feet of the corner of Henry and Front streets. "There was no way in God's world anybodycoming from the west could have seen that sign.” she said. Copies of the situations discussed at the meeting will be typed up and received by committee members before the next meeting, Tuesday. Sept. 28. at 7 p.m. at the town hall.
