Even though the furniture, dishes and other items were sold Saturday, the grounds and building were not.

Yellow Banks Hotel is on three acres of land with 200 feet of lake front and 180 feet of sand beach. The land has been zoned for condominiums and there is room for 20 condominiums.

Phend and Brown, Inc. awarded Milford street resurfacing project

Milford contractor Phend and Brown. Inc., was awarded the Milford resurfacing project by the town board Monday night. Work on the local streets could begin as soon as Thursday or Friday of this week. Parker Phend presented his bid to the board, the only one Submitted. and it was quickly passed by board members in attendance Phend’s bid consisted of charges of $19.50 per ton for binding at $22 per ton for surfacing materials. Also presented was an alternate plan to use a second type of resurfacing material composed of sand and asphalt that would run $24 per ton. The reason for the alternative bid stated Phend was to meet the various conditions of the streets “If a street is structurally sound," Phend notes, “it will cost less to surface it. requiring a thinner coat ot surface material." The advantage of this added Phend, “will allow one to get the most work completed for less cost , or more surfacing done per dollar " The board accepted Phend’s proposal on a blanket bid. This means that the bid is accepted with its alternative, where the regular asphalt and the sand and asphalt mixture will be used where needed, thus incurring both surfacing charges The board has $4,882.50 appropriated to spend on the project and since the bid was approved under contract, the June 30 deadline for the board to utilize these funds has been met Phend and Brown. Inc., will meet with street and water commissioner Terry Beatty to determine which streets get top priority. Resurfacing will continue until the funds are depleted In a related issue, a Meadow View resident approached the board concerning work needing to be done on Kenwood Drive Specifically, the resident was concerned over the dust caused by resurfacing and how this problem would be handled once the project is underway. Phend informer! the board that he will be using a compound known as MCO. “the lightest cutback asphalt that cuts down the amount of dust and prevents the forming of chuckholes " Phend was asked by the board what the Meadow View resur facing project would cost and he presented them with a figure of

$75 per block plus an additional S6O for grading the four-block section. This proposal was also approved by the board with monies from the motor vehicle fund, totaling $2,120. to be used for the project. Dr. T. A. Miller made a motion that Phend and Brown repair, grade and oil the street in question and that they, start as soon as possible Jim Brooks seconded the motion and it was carried. Other activity of the evening centered around the cost of running power out to the pole building At the previous board meeting. Jim Brooks had asked Beatty to check with NIPSCo to see if power could be supplied to the building and at what cast Beatty reported Monday night that NISPSCo quoted a figure of $2,750 for the cost of running a power line to the building All town board members immediately thought the price was too high and cheeked into some possible alternatives. One such alternative was for Beatty to check with Denny Sharp as to whether Sharp would consider running a line to his building, thus reducing the cost for the board to pay for the line Beatty tell that the needs ot Sharp were substantially less than what the pole building would require and wasn't too optimistic about the feasibility ot this option; A second alternative was for Beatty to confer with either Jay Pelt ley. NIPSCo manager. Syracuse, or Dick Vandeveer. NIPSCo engineer, on the matter Dr. Miller thought the cost ot the line might be cheaper if NIPSCo was aware that the line was within the city limits Beatty will inform the board at its next meeting. July 9. as to his inquiries A second item rasied by Beatty had to do with seven employee's now working for the town under the Speedy Program. Beatty simply asked the board for suggestions as to what town needs could be fulfilled by these ■employee's. If Milford residents have any ideas regarding possible- work projects for these employees they are' aske*el to submit them to the' town board for further discussion and decision. Beatty informed the' board that in last week's storm, the utility building Was-hit by lightning.
