Persons collecting for the project will have letters of identification authorizing them as official representatives of the fire department. Anyone making a $lO donation will receive a coupon for a free eight by ten color portrait. Donations of any amount are welcome.

It is estimated that it will take about three weeks to contact everyone in the township. Gary Hill is president of the volunteer firemen and chairman of the fund raising project.

Sewage problems topic at Webster town Board

North Webster Town Board members and sewage department officials dealt with improving the town’s sewage system and locating infiltration areas during a meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 12. Improvements to the sewage system will include the inspection of two lift stations and valve repairs at one of those lift station sites. According to Harry Minnick, town maintenance supervisor, and Paul Hardin, waste water and sewage superintendent, lift station three needs to be checked for infiltration water flow. The station is located near the North Webster Elementary and Junior High schools. . A representative from Philip Schnelker and Associates, Fort Wayne, will assist town employees on the check. In addition, Minnick informed the board that a valve at lift station 10 is in need of repair. He noted that in order for repair work to be completed the entire sewage system needs to be shut down for approximately one hour during a period of low usage. Minnick suggested that the work could be attempted around 3 a m. on a Sunday morning. He added, however, that the task requires 24-30 men and that help may be sought from the fire department in order to complete the task. The work needs to be done soon if the station is to remain operable. Infiltration Jim Lauer, of Philip Schnelker and Associates, Fort Wayne, informed the board that the kilowatt hour reading for the sewage system in November through March was up 50 percent from the summer months. However, the flow of sewage through the system was lower during the same period. Lauer said that he was at a loss

to explain the figures. He suggested that the town should inspect houses for down spouts and yard drains, check for seepage around manholes and check recorded data on the pump meters. Lauer suggested use of a dye or smoke test in testing for the infiltration. He also stated that the town first check lift stations with single inflows before checking those with multiple inflows. Town board members gave Lauer their approval to obtain quotes on grouting three or four manholes in the town which have surface water leekage around the side. North Shore Lauer also spoke to the board on the current problem at North Shore Public Utility. He noted that he is not sure that the figures recorded there are correct. “They’re doing something there and I can’t put my finger on it,” he said. Lauer told the board that he favors the installation of magnetic meters to double check the flow readings. The meters will have to be installed on town property and are estimated to cost between $2,600 and $3,000. “I don’t know where the problem lies," Lauer noted. “I can’t pinpoint it, but something seems to be erroneous." Strike not felt at Dana The current United Auto Workers strike against the General Motors Corporation should not present an immediate problem for workers at the Syracuse Dana plant, according to Bill Sanders. Dana industrial relations manager. “This isn’t a potential problem for us at the present time," Sanders noted. The Syracuse Dana plant does supply some gear and axle parts to Chevrolet plants.
