Board votes to install curbs at North Webster

Marion Lantz, business manager, told members of the Lakeland School Corporation’s board of school trustees he had looked at the area at the North Webster school where curbing had been discussed at an earlier meeting. Lantz made his report at a special meeting held last night (Tuesday). The state highway department plans to resurface SR 13 through North Webster next summer and will surface clear to the curb at the school if the school would install curbs. Lantz said he had been given an estimate of $5,385 from Harris

Tuesday for Charles A. Caple, 82, Cromwell and father of John Caple and Mrs. Eugene (LeAnn) Culberson, both of Syracuse. Death came at his home on Saturday and was attributed to a heart attack.

the action and for all proper relief in the premises. Marriage Licenses The following couples have applied for a marriage license in the office of county clerk Jean Messmore: Murrell-Wells John William Murrell, 26, r 1 Cromwell and Sharon Marie Wells, 23. r 1 Cromwell Hensley-Escalera Fredrick E. Hensley, 46. r 1 Cromwell and Mary T. Escalera. 37, r 1 Cromwell Mead-Rider Jesse Alfred Mead, 39, Saint Joseph, Mich., and Donna Jane Rider, 32. Leesburg Walls-Clark Todd Wayne Walls, 16, r 1 box 574 North Webster and Joyce Ann Clark. 16, 306 S. Main, South Whitley

and Sons, Inc., Pierceton. This cost is to curb the area south to the north edge past the gymnasium, including a total of 408 feet. Phil Payne, board member, asked if the additional curbing would eliminate parking facilities. Lantz said there would be no problem with parking if the curb is placed from the existing three sidewalks to the current edge. He added that the curbing would provide a gutter for drainage and eliminate water holes in the area. Bill Little, president, was concerned about the availability of finances for the project and asked if money would be expended from the cumulative building fund. According to Lantz, there is $553,000 available and $129,000 could be used for this project if necessary. With this information Payne moved the board proceed with the paper work necessary to put a curbing in from the south line 408 feet north. The proposal was seconded and approved and the board will now begin to seek bids on the curbing project. Additional A hearing was held at 7 p.m. on an additional appropriation with Superintendent Don H. Arnold stating the additional is needed because of the heat costs for the 1978 year, beginning in January and to allow for additional money for interest payment on a short term loan taken out in February of 1978. Arnold’s proposal to appropriate an additional $48,475 to the general fund to pay for heat costs and an additional SIO,BIB to debt service, for the interest payment was approved by all board members. A second proposal dealing with transfer of appropriations between funds was presented and approved. According to Arnold, more money is needed in the areas of insurance, vehicle operation, homebound instruction, tuition transfer and supplies, where as other areas have a surplus. In other action, the board approved a GED test diploma for Raymond J. Dilley, r 2 North Webster; four members of the board will attend the ISBA Regional meeting at North Wood High School on Tuesday, Oct. 31; and it was agreed to sign an agreement with the building trades stating the terms of sale of projects completed by the building trades program.
