Hearing set on legality of BIA decision

It’s now up to Kosciusko County Court Judge Richard Sand to decide whether or not a county Board of Zoning Appeals decision to evict three residents from a former landfill site was correct. A hearing has been set for March 8 on the case, involving Troy Varney, David Poage and Breck Walls, who live in three mobile homes on the site. They, along .with their attorney, Paul Refior, filed a writ of certiorari in circuit court to review the BZA’s decision. Refior said the hearing is a normal step involving decisions by quasi-judicial bodies. Judge Sand will decide if the decision was proper. Refior requested that a preliminary and permanent injunction filed against the three men by the BZA be included in the review. The BZA voted to evict the residents in a meeting on Decembers.

SAFE response slow

Response to the special Project SAFE program for the unemployed has been slower than anticipated, according to Jean Merritt, executive director of the Indiana Department on Aging and Community Services, the state agency which administers the program. Mrs. Merritt urged those who are unemployed to take advantage of the program by commenting, “The method of computing fuel and electric bill assistance for the unemployed uses the income figure for the past six months. This means that those who were employed earlier in 1982. may ignore their early earnings and declare only the income they received during the past six months. ‘ ‘To arrive) at an annual income, we sinjply multiply earnings for the past six months by two. We ignore the earlier income and concentrate on the unemployed person’s circumstances as they now exist.’’ The unemployed will receive one-time credits of Sa)o for fuel bills and SSO for electric bills. Applicants will qualify for the program if their annual family income is at or below $7,020 for a one person household; $8,330 for a two person household; and $11,640 for a three person household. For a household

Interest rates ups and downs

By EDWARD THORLUND Interest rates are the subject of considerable controversy at the moment. The trend of the economy, and thus government borrowing, is convincing some that rates must begin to rise

larger than this, add $2,310 for each additional family member. Those who apply for the program should bring a copy of their current heating and electric bill to the utility office. They should also provide documentation that they are unemployed —a denial letter from the Employment Security Division or a photo copy of an unemployment check. Syracuse man instable condition Raymond Bricker, 37, r 3 Syracuse, was listed in stable condition at Kosciusko Community Hospital with facial lacerations and internal injuries following a one-vehicle accident at4:l2p.m., Saturday, Jan. 29. Bricker was eastbound on Armstrong Road, approximately 3*'2 miles southeast of Leesburg, when he lost control of his 1982 Corvette after rounding a curve. The auto hit a utility pole. Charges are pending. Investigating officers were Indiana State Police Troopers Dan Ringer and Neil Beck. Damage was set at SB,OOO.

again later this year. Some respected New York -investment firms, however, have just announced conclusions that rates will continue downward in the immediate future. Thus the great discrepancy in bank policies today. In many cities bank interest varies two or three, percentage points from one block to the next. This kind of situation hasn’t been seen for decades. Most arguments about trends in interest rates center around the upcoming deficit and projected deficits for the years ahead. President Reagan s proposed budget (and economies' and what Congress does in the next few months will have much to do with the mood on Wall Street and among investment bankers. A deficit anywhere near S2OO billion will be a blow to those hoping for lower interest rates. Os course. Congress may trim the deficit, but the past offers limited encouragement in this regard. The rise in the price of gold in January was an indication that many in international circles were hedging bets, in case inflation and interest rates here begin to rise again. Gold rose to over SSOO an ounce partly because of this possibility in mid-January. The United States is the key to the world trend. Only in this country, Canada and Japan is economic recovery expected this year. Should huge deficits stall that recovery, push .nterest rates up and perhaps even inflation, the consequences could be grim Veers over embankment Brian L. Stidams. IT, r 1 Syracuse, lost control of his 1972 Chevrolet Malibu on icy pavement causing his auto to veer over an embankment. The accident occurred on CR 29; south of CR 52 in Jackson Township, Elkhart County, at 2:33 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30. Elkhart County Sheriff’s Pit Ralph Barnes estimated damage at over S2OO.

IU student works under endowment Ron Wuthrich, son of Mr and Mrs. Glen Wuthrich of r 2 Milford, is involved in a program through Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs where he will help solve public problems, free of charge. Long-range economic development prompted a Department of Commerce project to assemble a national cost-of-doing-business index in each state. The index will show industries the cost of locating in Indiana compared to other states. Working with Wuthrich on this project are Professors Barry Rubin and Kurt Zorn. The cost is being underwritten by a grant from the Lilly Endowment of Indianapolis to support a Lilly Community Assistance Fellowship Program for graduate students in SPEA. Wuthrich s project is just one of many Lilly financed projects where tge students work under the supervision of an assigned faculty member as an extension of their assroom studies.
