Syracuse adopts $2.93 rate

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer

The Syracuse Town Council formally adopted the town budget for 1990 at a special meeting last night (Tuesday; in the town hall. Voting 3-1 in favor of the budget as presented, the council approved a figure of $1,282,073, with $794,859 to be raised by the tax rate of $2.93 per SIOO assessed valuation. It was figured on the net assessed valuation of $27,024,955 and represents a 16.7 percent increase over 1989. Carl Myrick offered the council’s only dissenting vote, although a fifth council member, Barbara Carwile, was absent. Both Myrick and Carwile had questioned a ballooning park budget in past meetings, with the park department requesting a $21,414 increase over this year.

AFTER THE old photo appeared at the top of last week's column, Eleanor Tom called to say the man in the dark cap and jacket behind the white horse was her father, William E. Cox. Many will recall the fact that for a time. William E. Cox was the town constable. LOOKING FOR something to do on Friday night? The Elkhart County Park and Recreation Department is holding an “Owl Campfire” program. All are invited to spend a relaxing evening around the campfire and visit with a live owl as members of the park and recreation department's staff lead those present in exploring the legehds and lifestyles of these mysterious hunters of the night. A program will begin at 8:30 p.m. Those attending should meet at the campfire pit at Ox Bow County Park.

Over 80 percent of that increase involves funds being reserved for improvements at Ward Park. Commenting from the floor. Syracuse resident Ron Sharp read from a park survey completed earlier this year. He noted that only 45 percent of the survey respondents actually lived within the town. “I didn’t see a seawall mentioned once in the survey, ”, Sharp said. Sharp suggested the funds earmarked for a seawall be put in the town's general operating fund, giving the council more sayin the way it’s spent. “The only thing you can do is to control the budget, you can't control the park board." Sharp said, adding, “I think the tighter strings you have the better off you are. ' Sharp also expressed displeasure over the park board’s response to a request for the
