Letters to the editor Step in the right direction

Dear Editor: As a former town board member and president of the town board of Syracuse. I read with interest and pleasure the recent decision of the town board to place town manager position in the 1979 salary ordinance. I feel this is a step in the right direction for the better management and correct growth patterns for our Town. None of us would consider placing the enormous responsibility of running a two to five million dollar corporation on the shoulders of five part time people and that is what we have done in Syracuse. Our town boards, including the present board has done a commendable job with the amount of time and expertise that they have available, but it is time that we do not expect this part time board to devout their full time plus more, to the running of a town so that we can save a salary of $15,000 to spend it in areas that are not put to good use. Unfortunately there have been those in the past, through their petty jealousies and personal insecurities who have tried to stop full time Syracuse town management, however 1 think it is high time that the people of Syracuse take a good look at their town and start displaying their local pride. We have it here, one of the best places to live and some of the best social, industrial and recreational facilities available, and if we play our cards right we can add to this and make this town a better place for ourselves and our children. Hopefully the issue of a town manager will be coming up on a referendum in the near future and it would be wise for every voting citizen to support a concept that will personally help them. I am sure your town board

members would appreciate your support and or comments concerning a town manager James C. Tranter Formfer town board member Conserving energy won't save money after all It seems you just can’t win these days. The Environmental Action Foundation reports that utility companies nationwide may soon be hiking their rates, not because people are using more energy, but because they are conserving it too much. The Foundation reports that the industry-wide i generating capacity last summer was 37 per cent greater than what was actually needed because people are conserving energy more than ever before. As a result, the Foundation has calculated that the utility industry has about 100 more power plants than are needed to provide adequate services and that the industry is now experiencing “vast amounts of idle generating capacity.” Foundation spokesperson. Richard Morgan says he fears that as a result, many utilities may seek rate hikes to recover their lost revenues. Said Morgan, “the power companies want to boost our rates to pay for all those power plants that we don’t need ” Morgan is estimating that excess generating capacity will cost consumers about $1 billion annually in higher electric bills. The people who smile often have more friends - than the people who frown.
