"CRUZIN AROUND 'CUSE"
(Continued from page 4) They said, “Make it ‘Port-A-Pit’ Chicken Barbecue,” but it turned out “Port-A-Pot” Chicken Barbecue! ” A A plus to all this is the fact that the ladies sold over 1.000 half chickens and coined over 1600 for the worthy projects they sponsor. Could it be that this almost-overlooked misspelling had an ultimate positive effect on the B& PW fund-raiser? CALVIN BECK and his wife Izel of Bonar Lake quietly observed their 69th wedding anniversary on Monday, June 13. The Becks are well known natives of the Syracuse community, and it hardly needs be said again that Cal was a longtime coach and teacher in the Syracuse school system.

OK Cable TV for Milford
By DEBFOX The franchise with Noble Cable Television, Kendallville, was approved by the Milford Town Board Tuesday evening at its regular meeting. Bob Kirsch, town attorney, reviewed the franchise with board members stating it was a non-exclusive franchise with a one-year intent of installing cable television to homes in Milford Kirsch remarked Fred Manahan, president, stated the company has intentions of installing the service yet this year. Noble Cable will establish and maintain reasonable standards of service and performance to customers and agrees to furnish without charge and upon request, the basic television service to any public school building located in the town, the library, fire department, police department, town hall and community center. The company will maintain all parts of its system at no charge to the subscribers and customers other than the installation and regular monthly service charges, provide a customer service location within the town limits and furnish a telephone answering service and system maintenance Jobless rate drops to 8.8% Unemployment in the Third Congressional District dipped to 8.8 per cent of the labor force in April, congressman John Hiler revealed recently. This is the lowest unemployment rate for the six counties that comprise the northern Indiana congressional district since Hiler began keeping tabs upon assuming office in January 1981, he said, citing figures released by the Indiana Employment Security Division. “This good news is more evidence that the economic recovery we have been working for is here,” Hiler said. “I return home just about every week end and the increasing optimism that is taking hold is really showing.” Hiler cited “phenomenal” growth in manufactured housing and recreational vehicle sales and improvements in autorelated and other manufacturing industries for the sharp increase in third district employment. In March, the district’s unemployment rate was 9.9 per cent, Hiler said. “This makes April the second consecutive month that the unemployment rate has dropped below the national rate, which has now happened only twice in the past five years,” Hiler noted. Unemployment for the nation dropped to 10.1 per cent in April. Kosciusko and Elkhart Counties have the lowest rates in the third district with 6.4 and 6.3 per cent respectively. Hiler said that while unemployment “remains far too high, it is clear that our economy is beginning to turn around and that people are going back to work. With the full impact of the recent Hummer contract award to AM General in South Bend and the 10 per cent income tax rate cut schedued for July Ist still to take effect, 1 have no doubt that our economy will continue to pick up steam. ”
service daily from 9 a m. to 5 p.m. Noble Cable will provide service to customers within 24 hours of a request for service, however, in the event that the time said request for service is made the company is not open for business the period will not exceed 72 hours. Rates The following is a schedule of rates and charges, the initial maximum rates and charges, made by the company. These rates and charges will be effective until September 1, 1984. Kirsch pointed out the town would have no control over the rates but has a one per cent annual franchise with the company. The connection charge will be $19.95 with the basic monthly service charge being $9.14. The first pay movie service will be $8 per month and the second pay movie service will be $7 per month in addition to the basic rate and first pay movie service. For any additional tap-ons the connection charge will be $5 and the monthly service, for each additional outlet, will be $1.33. There will be a $5 charge for reconnection and $6.95 for the relocation of outlets. If there is a change of pay movie service the cost will be $5. There is no charge for disconnection. If a converter is needed the sale price for a 36-channel capacity converter is $49 or there is a lease/purchase cost of $2 per month for 36 months. There will be no charges for service calls and the company has the right to impose a reasonable service charge for delinquent accounts. During a 90-day period, not more than 30 days prior to the date the system is to be place into operation and service made avialable to customers, the company will give a $lO discount on the basic service installation charge. Also each customer will receive, during the first 30 days, a trial period of 10 days for each of the Pay Movie Service Channels without any cost or obligation. There is a 15-year contract with the company that may be renewed every five years after the original contract expires. Building Ordinance Della Baumgartner was present to urge the board to enforce the building ordinance and get the building commissioner, Harry Dale Doty, and the building inspector. Dr. T. A. (“Al”) Miller, functioning. Buildings mentioned included the “junk yard” on the Richard Widup property which has been turned over to the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals, the green house south of Widup’s home and Ron Davidhizer’s property. Mrs. Baumgartner also stated there should be a time limit for completion when a building is being torn down. She referred to the quonset hut on Syracuse-Milford Road. “It looked better before,” she remarked. Steve Miller, board president, stated Davidhizer plans on doing something with the house, bringing it up to standard yet this summer. It is not known if the house has been inspected by the state fire marshal or if it is in any con-
dition to be rebuilt. Miller stated at the February 9 meeting the structure was not physically sound after being guttered by a fire and has deteriorated because of termites. “There’s to much legality involved to put my neck on the line,” remarked Miller when Mrs. Baumgartner strongly urged the ordinance be enforced “I’m not going to stand the chance of being sued. You've got to know what your doing.” Kirsch stated that as long as the ordinance is being adhered to there should be no problems. “It's good and all, but on the other hand it is complicated to enforce. You’re talking about so much time, effort and expense ” Miller offered to get some type pf committment from Davidhizer and he was asked by Mrs Baumgartner why he had to do it when he has a building commissioner and inspector “It’s hard to get the committee together,” remarked Miller, who added he sees Davidhizer periodically and asks him what is being done Mrs. Baumgartner was asked why she hasn't talked to Widup and Davidhizer concerning the buildings since she made the complaints. She remarked it was the committee’s responsibility. Miller finally agreed to contact Doty to look at the buildings and have a report by the next meeting. Special Meetings There will be two special meetings on Tuesday. June 28. concerning the request for qualifications from consultants in assistance in the 1983 Community Development Block Grant program for water system improvements and loan assistance for industrial development and for a public hearing prior to the submission of the town s community development block grant application. The application will be for the purpose of obtaining federal funds to undertake water system improvements and to provide direct loan assitance for industrial development. The qualification requests will be received by the town no later than 4 p.m. on June 28 with the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. Budgets will be discussed with the town departments on Wednesday. June 22. at 4:30 p.m. Street Paving Bids will be opened at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, for street paving. Bill Knowles, utilities supervisor, stated he has an estimated cost of $32,500 in street work which needs to be done this year. Locations which will be advertised are: Fourth, from SR 15 to Maple; Catherine, from SR 15 to Elm; Catherine, east edge of James to Shaffer; Section, excavating of 55 feet from Main to the edge of Ellen Coy’s driveway and the resurfacing from the ' west edge of Main to the east edge of West; chip and seal Fourth, from the east edge of SR 15 to the east edge of East; and receive estimates on chip and seal for the alley behind east Main Street businesses. Knowles stated the bids will be received in unit prices, which is the most economical way to go. A 60-90 day completion period will be set. There will still be enough money left to do a small section of work on First Street from SR 15 to Maple and uniform all manholes on Emeline Street at the cost of $2,500 to $3,000. Other Business Knowles will talk with Robert Wright on East Emeline Street concerning hooking up to the town’s water system at the Wright home before approval is given. Knowles suggested the town punch a line underneath the street and run the line to the south side of Emoline Street and on to East Street. More investigation was requested on what type of front is needed for the water control building when the front section of the old utility building is town down. It was announced that if any groups or organizations in the town would like to donate money for the purchase of mosquito repellent they should contact Knowles who will also show anyone who wants to know how to use the equipment. Kirsch will write a letter stating the town offers a tax abatement application and will favorably consider the application in addition to services offered by the economic development commission. Mrs. Treesh remarked the letter is needed because several industrial businesses have inquired about coming into town and what the town could offer. Julia Meyers was appointed to the library board following the resignation of Bonnie Newman. Mrs. Meyers will serve on the board for a four-year term.

Indianapolis. Knowles stated it is away to try and elminate accounting and attorney fees when water rates need to be raised. Kirsch will be looking further into what the town can do about train speeds. Miller stated he received a letter from Conrad concerning the town’s ordinance on train speed limits. The railroad company stated the “ordinance has no bearing,” and included several cases in which cities have lost the battle. Miller stated. “We (the town) have to dish out all this money for signals the railroad won’t put up. 1 really don’t want to see my family and friends slaughtered because they, won’t put up crossing signals or slow down.” Concern was expressed about the types of material the trains transport through Milford, including nuclear waste. Max Duncan, fire chief, stated this is a concern with the emergency personnel in town also. Marshal David Hobbs was given approval to purchase two Lectracom five-watt portable radios at the cost of SBO3. The old
