Senator Baker in Wakarusa
Howard Baker, the Tennessee Republican U.S. Senator who wants to be President of the United States, concluded his swing through Indiana Tuesday night with a dinner at Wakarusa where he met and spoke to over 500 party faithfuls. Those gathered" dined on Nelson’s Golden Glow chicken and heard a stirring talk by Baker following an introduction by Richard Lugar, Indiana’s junior senator who is Baker’s national campaign manager. Previous to coming to Wakarusa, Baker and his entourage visited Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and South Bend. Two 'ssues He said the two principal campaign issues in the 1979 election will be, 1) the state of the NIPSCo — (Continued from page 1) pany’s five pipeline suppliers are seeking new sources of natural gas and that he anticipated that supplies will increase somewhat during the next three years. Curtailment to them under the long term contracts is decreasing rapidly and they are hoping for the return of full contract service by the suppliers. The NIPSCo chairman also said in addition to the new $23 million liquefied natural gas plant, which is scheduled for completion in 1981, the company is proceeding with the development of an additional storage zone as its Royal Center Underground Storage facility which will increase usable storage capacity there from 4.5 billion cubic feet to 7.5 billion cubic feet in 1984. He said NIPSCo signed new contracts last year which increased contracted storage by two billion cubic feet in 1978 and will increase it an additional two billion cubic feet in 1980. Also included in the utility’s five-year, $1.9 billion construction budget is the addition of 681.000 kilowatts of electric generating capacity by 1982, with an additional 1,332,00 kilowatts planned and scheduled for completion between 1983 and 1985. He said that the energy was necessary to meet the company’s projected electric demand in the company’s service area which is growing at about six per cent per year.

economy, and 2) the defense of our country. He said California’s Proposition 13 meant to him a “cry from the people to get government out of our hair and off our backs.’’ There is a wide cry for a constitutional convention to restructure our form of government, the aspiring presidential candidate, who is the son-in-law of the late Everett Dirksen of Illinois said. He said congress should submit a constitutional amendment to the people relating to a balanced budget. In this regard, he praised the Lugar amendment calling for a balanced budget. Baker said the security of our nation has been a series of disastrous mistakes by the Carter Administration. First, he cited the early withdrawal of troops from South Korea, the cancellation of the B-l bomber, and finally the ordering a reduction in naval construction.

Syracuse town board considers filing for grant
The Syracuse Town Board held a special meeting Tuesday evening in which Phillip Schnelker of Fort Wayne presented information needed to file for a federal-state government grant. Schnelker has a small business which is currently working with the town of Warsaw and Kendallville with sewage* problems. Schnelker stated there are three steps the town must go through to file. The first step is to file for a grant for an infiltration inflow analysis. This step includes the gathering of all information from records about the plant’s problems. The second step is a sewer system evaluation, in which TV cameras are used to look at the system and routing joints. Schnelker stated the town would be allowed to spend up to SIO,OOO on this. The third step would be to write a facility plan, an engineering report plus an environmental report, indicating if improvements need to be done or if some of step two was not completed. If the grant is approved the federal government would pay 75 per cent. 10 per cent would come from the state and the town would pay 15 per cent. The cost for the application is between $1,500 to $2,000. This would be paid by the town. If the board would decide to file an application it is estimated it would take 30-90 days to process at state level before sending it to the federal government and another 30 to 60 days at that level. If the grant is approved the board would get the go ahead in March or April of 1980. The board decided to look into applying for a grant after SewerTech’s study on the plant found there was an infiltration-inflow problem in certain areas of the town. Harley Conrad, plant operator, feels the plant is not up to the capacity it needs to be which is causing the problem. The Syrasuce sewage plant is a 500.000-gallon plant. The board asked Schnelker if he could provide before the next regular meeting, a memo of his firms qualifications and an estimate of the cost for his services. The board will consider the information presented and make a decision. Robert Justus, who has 19 lots in Wawasee Heights, has asked the board if sewage could be provided to four of the lots which have been sold. The board stated the water lines are there but thet sewage lines are not and the board would have to hire someone to do this project since the town does not have the personnel. The total cost the board would have to pay for the installation for both the water and sewage lines would be $31,050. The town will undertake this project when the funds are available. The board received recommendation from Lamar Stoops, representing the Syracuse Lake Property Association on the strobe light. Stoops recommended the board establish a program where someone on the town board or park department take the responsibility for operating the strobe light at the city pier. He also recommended having someone responsible for activating the strobe light when there is a severe electrical storm or tornado. The final recommen-

dation was that the town install a separate circuit for the outfit. It is currently on a circuit with other alarms in the dispatcher’s office. Stoops stated a clock will be added to the present light which will automatically turn the lights on and off at the designated times. Currently the strobe light has been manually turned on at sunset and turned off at 10 p.m. He also mentioned a second light should be considered at the railroad bridge where more residents are able to see the light. Paul Isbell, town board president, stated the board will take under consideration the appointment of the board to operate the light and will make arrangement for the tornado and servere electrical storm warning. On July 1 the strobe light will be activated during the week nights along with the week ends. Currently the light has been in operation during the week end only. Debt To Dana Paul Isbell commented at the board meeting that the town owes a “Debt of gratitude" to the Dana Corporation for helping the town out by creating an access road. The road was made at a site purchased from Joe Hughes. Dana Corporation brought in bulldozers and spent a day and a half providing this easier access and filling in with dirt from the construction on its new buildings. - Jerry Haskins, contractor for the Pickwick Road project, is to be in Syracuse to finish the project around the first of June, according to information received by Robert Reed, town attorney. A problem has occurred in which property has been damaged from this project and the property owners wish the damage be fixed. Reed stated he received a letter from D. H. Lessig Company stating he felt Haskins was not violating the plans and that the lines were to be placed on private property and that if Haskins strayed from the line set up he had a good reason for straying. Earlier the board had set up a time for a board member
