Redslob empha si red that manufactured housing reallv began with federal codes on building enforcement, making the homes better and safer. He said mobile homes are well built today. The manufactured housing industry looks good for the future according to Redslob. focusing on the fact that H 5 per cent of eligible home buyers cannot afford a site built home. The reason for the reduced cost of mobile homes is because the manufacturer builds in a controlled environment with production line efficiency, with just as many options as frame homes, coming complete with furnace, appliances. fixtures, drapes and furniture.

Milford Town Board approves sewer contract
By TERRI CHILCOTE The Milford Town Board approved a contract with Baxter and Woodman engineering firm who has been hired to complete the new sewer project on the east side of town. The board met with John Cottingham, representing Se Crystal Lake. 111., firm. onday evening, June 15, at the town hall. Most of the $194,668.39 in the cumulative sewer fund will be used to pay for part of the project, but the town must also find additional financing. Some monies will be left in the cumulative sewer fund to pay for emergencies The board discussed various ways of financing the project including a Farmers Home Administration (FHA) loan, bank loan, government grants and bonds. "I was told not to waste your time and effort applying for a grant There is very little grant money available." advised Cottingham “Would it be easiest and cheapest to post bond?" Town Board President Steve Miller asked the town’s attorney Roger Cosbey "It would be easiest." replied Cosbey, but added, “What you could save in interest, you could tosetime-wise." The board decided to postpone a decision on financing until the engineering firm provides a preliminary cost estimate, so the board will know exactly how much financing will be needed Cottingham said he should have the preliminary cost estimate by the end of the week Milford Street and Water Superintendent Ron Conley was appointed inspector of the; project. He will work .with the engineer, making sure the project is completed properly and in accordance with the contract. Conley will report to the town board on the project’s progress The town will pay the resident engineer about S3O an hour for an eight-hour day plus lodging and meals Cottingham estimated it would take his firm about one month to lay sewer lines which would equal about 160-man hours

for the engineer or $4,800. Miller asked the firm’s representative to use local contractors whenever possible. The board discussed using plastic pipes for the project instead of metal pipes. Cottingham pointed out plastic pipes are cheaper, easier to handle, as strong or stronger than metal pipes and more resistant to tree roots. The company representative agreed with Conley that plastic .pipes are more expensive to service, though Cottingham assured the board that normal residential or agricultural waste would not harm plastic pipes nor would chemicals normally used to clean sewer lines. No decision was made Fire Truck Cosbey read the legal notice that will soon appear in area newspapers announcing the opening of bids for a new fire truck Cosbey advised it would be better to get the bids first and then see how much money will be needed He recommended the board wait no longer than 90 days after receiving the bids to line up financing After financing for the new truck is decided upon, there will be a 30-day remonstrance period in which residents may voice their approval or objections The town has $25,000 in revenue sharing funds that will be used towards the purchase of a fire truck and some of the $15,000 in the capital improvement fund can also be used Ordinance Read A proposed ordinance that places restrictions on single family residences, specifically mobile homes, received its second reading The board is expected to pass the ordinance at its regular July meeting In final business, the board discussed the possibility of spraying for mosquitos by airplane. similar to crop dusting. However, the town has no money for mosquito control, so residents would have to go together to pay for the service Miller said this method is used frequently in Florida and has proven effective Miller said he would find out if there is any interest among residents to do this.
