responsiblity to deal with the issue of our nation’s relations with Panama beyond simply rejecting the current form of the treaties. In most debates on very serious issues, alternative courses of action are considered, and I hope that changes in the treaties, in the form of amendments and reservations, will be brought before the Senate. I am also open to the possible recasting of a new treaty with the Panamanians, perhaps an agreement extending substantial economic assistance to Panama while protecting the vital interests of the American people. ” Tranter — (Continued from page 1) work on in 1978 is the repaving of streets in town. Tranter said as soon as the water and sewer pro ject is completed, the board will turn its full attention to repaving as many streets in town as possible. Tranter said the board has some money left from 1977 to use to repave those streets that need it. The next area the board hopes to work on is to complete the street sign project. This project was started in 1977. but hasn't been completely finished as yet. Tranter also said the board is actively seeking a new town hall and would like to find one in 1978. He said, “we're in the exploratory stages now ” The board would like to find either an existing building or construct a new one to house the town hall. The present town hall is located adjacent to the police and fire stations on South Huntington Street Finally, another area the board would like to work on in 1973 is the replacement of the town's fire pumper truck The board is presently meeting with the fire department to discover the department's needs and to set up some prices. Bids will probably be taken in 1978 The department requested a new truck at the board's regular meeting. November 22 At that time, the department said the present truck, dated 1960, is having some mechanical difficulties. Trade-in value of the truck now in use would be from $5.00048.000. Cost of a new truck would be from $50,000 The first meeting of the board for 1978 is January 17.

Water treatment problem corrected at Syracuse

Syracuse Town Board President James C. Tranter reports that the overflow problem at the water treatment problem in Syracuse has been righted. The problem at the plant was reported at the board's meeting December 20 when Robert Farber of the street and water department, said the plant wasn’t working up to it's maximum capacity. Farber said the plant was only handling about 300,000 gallons of water. When the plant was originally constructed, town engineer Jerry Lessig said it could handle 500,000 gallons. Tranter said he talked to Lessig December 19 and he said at that time it could only handle 400,000. Lessig wasn’t present at the December 20 meeting due to bad weather. At that time, Tranter announced Lessig would be in town December 21. Tranter said Lessig did come to town December 21 and again on December 23, but was unable to solve the problem. The board finally contacted the
