Sewer claim not approved in board session Tuesday

The Syracuse Town Board decided in a lengthy session Tuesday night not to approve a claim for Bradberry Brothers, Inc., concerning work done on the sewer line for the town. The claim, which was for over $17,000, was a partial payment for sewer construction. It was not approved because Harley Conrad, street and water superintendent, refused to sign it « Board President David Nine said Conrad felt the work wasn’t done to the town’s specifications. Over the past several months the town has had numerous problems at the sewage treatment plant and in trying to hook-up to the new system. In all, the town owes Bradberry $21,263.18. Nine said, “It’s the opinion of the town superintendent and the town board we are not completely satisfied with the sewer completion. I don’t think we can approve that or pay it until we’re satisfied. I think the problem tonight will get solved a lot more quickly if we don’t pay it.” We Finished Work Earl Bradberry, of Bradberry Brothers, plus an associate were present at the meeting. Bradberry said, “We did finish the work and felt we should be paid. We put in what specifications called for.” One reason why the claim was not approved is the problem with high water in the manholes in the village. And. when the pomp is shut off, water is still coming out of the sewer lines. Another problem is with the drain tile at the softball field. When Bradberry came in, they damaged it, making the board feel the contractor should pay for it. Bradberry replied, “When we dug in, we didn’t know what it (tile) was. The engineer was notified of tile and I don’t think its fair for you people to draw this onto us. I’m not in the mood to put in a $4,000 tile.” Ralph Shelburn, representing the FHA, which gave the town the money for the sewer system, felt Bradberry should replace the tile at no charge. He also felt a lot of the problems will not be resolved until Bradberry, Town Engineer Jerry Lessig, Conrad and town board members inspect the system for any errors in specifications. A special session of the board was set for Tuesday, April 25, to review the situation after the inspection is made. Several other matters relating to Bradberry were discussed. The first was a request from the contractor asking if the town would pay for some damage he ran into with some rocks in town. He said it cost a lot of money and was wondering if he could be reimbursed. Town Attorney

First Charter Insurance Agency CHILDREN AND FIRES Thousands of persons die each year in home fires, and one-third of these are children. Yet many of these young lives could have been saved if only precautions and general rules of fire safety had been followed. A child's natural curiosity can cause trouble when matches or lighters are left within their reach. They always should be put away after use. Other precautions are: Never leave a young child home alone. Show your baby-sitter the escape routes from the house (two from each room should be designated) and give instructions to get the children out of the house the first instant smoke or escaping gas is found, followed by a call to the fire department from an alarm box or a neighbor's house. Teach children who are old enough how to get out of the house by following prearranged escape routes. Designate a family member to help a younger child to escape. **************** This Information Has Been Brought » *—r" - « To You As A Public Service By Your One-Stop Answer To " "i i gjßg Complete Insurance Protection

Robert Reed said he can’t see any way the town could help since there is no money left. James Tranter, board member, next had a question concerning the Premier Lift Station. In the March 21 meeting, board members discussed Bradberry’s work saying they felt he was paid too much and pulled out before the work was done. Bradberry said, “I put in what I was exactly told to put in. I never {Milled off of anything.” He added the problem with the hookup at the station is because the pumps were wired wrong for the electricity. Eugene Henning said he got a bill from Bradberry for $192 for running a line to his property from Rinker’s. He said he wasn’t told it was his expense and didn’t request it of Bradberry in the first place. This matter will be brought up at the April 25 meeting. Joe Hughes had a question concerning sewer hook-up on Pickwick Road and CR 530E. He said every house has been hookedup except his and was wondering if he could do it himself. Board members told him they ran out of money before they got to him, but have received some capital improvement funds which they may use to finish the sewer line along the road. They will give him an answer at the May meeting. Garbage Pick-Up In other business, the bid from Lakeland Sanitation Service, North Webster, for $20,223 was approved. Nine received a letter from Mrs. Renner, of Renner Sanitation Service, saying her business had been sold to Gordon Yeager and was now known as Ligonier Sanitation Service. Since her original bid of $19,278 was in her name, Reed advised the board her bid should be considered withdrawn. The other bidder was Stuckman's Tri-Lakes Sanitation for $25,922. Mrs. Betty Dust, cleric-treasurer, said she received a letter from the Kosciusko County Humane Commission advising her of an amendment to its original letter requesting towns pay a fee for animal pick-up. The amendment reads: (1) a $lO charge for each emergency call to a town; (2) any animal brought into the shelter by a town representative during normal' working hours, 8 a.m.5 p.m , will not be charged — however, if it is an emergency call the towns will be charged respectively; and (3) there will be a $3 charge per animal if the humane officer is requested to pick-up animals in a town at the holding facility.” The original fee schedule called for a $lO fee for each call to a town; construction of a holding

pen plus a $3 fee for picking up each stray animal; or paying an annual fee to the commission. A great deal of controversy arose over this issue since the commission already receives $15,000 from . county tax funds each year. The board decided to go along with the amendments and take all animals to the commission. Mrs. Dust said, “I do appreciate their trying to cooperate. They do have their financial problems, but they’re trying to consider ours.” Street repair was discussed. Tranter said the board is going to have to do something about the situation quick because all the streets can’t be resurfaced. The board decided to advertise for bids to chip and seal specified roads in town. Tranter and James Cripe, board member, will make a list of streets that need repair and bring it to the April 25 meeting. A two-lot tract of land to the east of where the Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant is being built was approved to be rezoned commercial from residential. Dan Richards, of the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission, brought the rezoning before the board. Joseph Shewmon, Turkey Creek Township Trustee, acting a£“ a spokesman for a number of people in the community, had several requests. He was wondering if the police could enforce the 15-minute parking at the post office. He said. “I don’t think it’s fair for elderly people to walk a couple of blocks to pick-up their mail.” The board will ask this be enforced. He also wanted to know if anything could be done about tie-ups along Huntington Street from trains. Reed said the town doesn’t have the right to regulate state roads, but will relay the problem on to the state highway commission. A total of S6O was approved for four police officers to attend a police writing class at Ivy Tech. Warsaw. For the fire department, $209 was approved to purchase four new tires for the ambulance and $350 to purchase three sets of protective clothing. The board agreed to have the parks mowed independently as last year, per a request from the park board. Mrs. Dust is in receipt of two checks, one for $8,078.50 from the state for street repairs resulting from snow damage, and $8,099 for snow removal. She was given approval to appropriate these checks accordingly. Paul Levernier was reappointed to the economic development commission. Tranter reported police and firemen will be covered for workmen’s compensation whether Traveler’s Insurance, the town’s agency, covers it or not because.it is a state law.
