will serve in that capacity at no charge to the MAD organization. She currently has the book and persons wishing to schedule the building should do so by contacting her. Mrs. Evans was also hired to serve as the custodian of the building. She will be paid $4.50 per hour for her housekeeping duties. Keiper appointed a nominating committee consisting of Chairman Donn Kesler, Doug Brown, Marcy Haab and Rev. Roger Eberly. He said he would like to have a slate of officers for the September meeting with elections as quick as possible. The new officers will take office in January, however, Keiper feels they should have as much time as possible to work on the annual “Citizen of the Year** banquet which is held annually in late winter. Work is nearing completion on the names for the gold, silver and bronze plaques which will hang in the foyer. Also to be hung in the foyer are photos of the old hotel and the old Milford High School. Keiper said as soon as the

request the town pass a resolution to fill out papers to join a state program to help factories and businesses who might locate in the area find buildings and property. Mrs. Wiggins said there is currently a company from Michigan looking for a building, however, neither the state or her office could send them to Milford because they don’t know if anything is available. The board passed the resolution and will contact Milford Area Development Council President Karl Keiper to appoint a steering committee to work on same. Board member Jean Treesh presented a letter from Paul Rieth stating the bank was not against closing the lane on the north side of the building.

names on the plaque has been checked the plaque will be completed and hung. The lease agreement with the emergency medical service on the building has been checked and returned to the EMS for final approval. Keiper noted nothing has been done by Milford to cooperate with the Greater Warsaw Area Chamber of Commerce on industrial development. He said he felt the town board should do something to promote growth and would give the material he had to MAD treasurer and Milford Town Board member Darrell Ora. (Note: at Monday’s town board meeting a resolution was passed to work with the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce in trying to locate more industry in the county.) Another discussion of fees for use of the building was held. It is hoped a schedule can be adopted at the September meeting. Keiper was given permission to obtain prices on a sign for the community building for lettering such as is on the bank building and the newspaper plant. *

parking places on Main Street, Mrs. Treesh made a motion to change it back to allow parking on Main Street. The motion died for lack of a second with both President Steve Miller and member Darrell Om agreeing it would benefit the whole community if left the way it is. Paving information, to be completed by the Monday meeting, was not ready. However, Miller said he had talked with Conrail officials and was promised they will do the sidewalks in town, left unfinished several months ago when work was done on the tracks. They also want to look at their right-of-way in the alley to the east of Main Street before the town did any work on the alley. Om reported the state was working in town ami had removed a hump in the road near the Seth McFarren residence and had done other work on the highway on Monday. A notation was made it would cost $1,040 for two-days work in cleaning a sewer line on Catherine Street, near the Carl Duncan home. It was decided to wait until spring to allow funds to build up in that account. Om reported the number two well and pump are in perfect working order, however, the number one pump is only 40 per cent efficient although the well is perfect. It will take another $5,000 to repair the pump. Since the number two well and pump are the larger of the two no additional work will be done on the number one pump at this time. The number two well pumps 400 pounds per minute while the number one well pumps 300 pounds per minute. Following final work on the budget the meeting was adjourned. The next regular meeting of the board is set for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 14, at the town haU.
