BOARD TO BUY MATERIAL FOR CITY’S PARK 1 •_ ■ Answer Howard’s Request in Building Syracuse Park. ihe town board agreed, Tuesday evening, to purchase dynamite, 500 j feet < f tile, and material for a tool l*for the, Syracuse park, after Ros<<>e Howard explained the • e< osity of these articles. H > aid appeared before the board, tXfi.iruv that perhaps the board .-did not know it, but he had been appointed superintendent of the parks : Syracuse by the CiVA authorities, ■nd th *t this ;>ct -/was going to cost he -bt-ard some money. ’ He asked the board to buy Sls or worth of dynamite so |hat the straightening of the spillway below he dam could be made easily; that they buy 500 feet of tile, cost $35 or SI", the tile to be used to drain the • ; Ind that they buy material f -in: U tool shed which w r hen 1 ’ would be partially concealed by placing it in an excavation in a hillside on the north-eastern end of ithe park. I ‘After the town board had studied the request and had ie rned from Ft- t< .. n - clerk that approximately dl.iob was available for immediate m rII the* town funds, Howard ’dropped a bomb by saying a nice park I>e n/ide by the town istalling a spritskfing system at the park. In expl ining his rem. rk, Howard that sooner or later a sprinkling system would have to be installed in the park, to insure the growth* of -s. Howers and shrubs, and if the town could find away to buy the pipe •.-az<■ bateiv for the system; the labpr> >f uistallii g it would cost the town j.notMng. Howard explained th t if the pipe , were laid now, a big saving in the ■ > <'»i sysfenr could be” made; for sod would not have to be moved, and the dirt carefully piled i s would be the case if the pipe ‘ would be laid sometime in the future H" rf.s*. ■’ti that the heads, j pumps, t Ws, etc., of the system) (could be installed several years afi terwards, if need be, without much additional labor cost, if the pipe is j laid before the grass seed is sown. The board . members asked how I many feet of pipe. would be neces-. jsary for the system, its cost, and how much the entire system would cost. | Howard did not have any exact figures, but thought the pipe would cost S4OO or ssoo' and that the entire sprinkling system, installed, would I cost about $2; (MM). Members of the town board told Howard to get a plan of the sprinkling system, and an exact estimate of the cost, and then the board could see what could be done about paying for putting im the system. ! .At the meeting, Noble Myers, lo;cal manager of the Public Service Co., appeared and explained that a mistake had been made in the wording of the light contract between the town and the utility company. He asked that the contract be corrected. j In the contract, signed May 2, 1933, dealing with the ornamental lighting system of the town, the | contract stated that thit system was owned by the town, Myers explained that the system was ousted by the Northern Indiana, and that this : statement was what he wanted corrected and signed by the board. The board was about ready to do this, when William Connolly, who had been studying the contract, objected, stating that he thought that a clause had been substituted in the contract, which he knew nothing qbout. The clause to which he objected was that after five years from the date of signing, the contract was binding from year to year, for • period of ten years, unless terminated by a 60 day notice before each yearly contract eras about to expire. After some discussion the board decided not to make the correction asked by Myers until Warren Colwell, town attorney, read the whole contract. Since the original contract was signed, changes have be|n made in it twice by the company at the request of the town board. w Mrs. Pearl near MUford by *iL*Xee will make their home on the Coy ed" them, Tuesday evening and rei; ceived a treat from Mr. and Mrs.

CWA WORK SOON TO DRAW TO ITS CLOSE Reduction in Salaries to 4Sc Hour Common Labor Made Here; Workmen Laid Off Elsewhere When questioned if this did not mean CWA work in Syracuse and on the airport would end with the end of this» month, Roscoe Howard said that he did not know, that he had no information on it except the following story printed in daily newspapers, Tuesday. WASHINGTON—The Civil Works Administration will disband the remnants of its 4,000,000-man work atiny by March 30. Arrangements made for all CWA employes in communities of 5,900 population or more to be transfeired April 1 to work divisions set up by the state and local relief adminis; rations. This will involve some 1,500,000. ' Disbandment of workers in the rural sections already is far advanced on the theory that moet will have been absorbed by the end of this month by farm and other seasonal occupations. A date has not been set for their complete demobilization, previously planned for. May 1. In announcing the new move ye?terd,y. Administrator Harry L. IL pkins said all persons who could show need would be given assistance under the new setup. General , emregency relief administration funds will be allocated to state and local administrations which must bear part of the expense. Able bodied persons, one to a family, will be given jobs if they are found to be in need. They will be paid at prevailing local wage rates, but with a 30-cent an hour minimum and a 24-hour work week. Hopkins said public improvements might be carried out and that perhaps 80 per cent of present Civil Works projects might be continued. WATER SUPPLY WAS — ALARMINGLY LOW[ Rubbish Clearned Away so Pump Could Work; Electric Mqtor Ready if Difficulty Comes Agin j f On Tuesday morning, Syracuse was almost without any water. That morning, Charles Rentfrow, town marshal, started the pumps, | and went away to do some other j work. When he came back to the ' pump house, he discovered that the water turbine was not running. He notified members of the town board, , that the pump was not working, and [ they immediately employed men to , find out what was wrong. The electfic light company was notified that the water in the stand pipe was getting low and that the pump was not working, and to be prepared to hook up a motor to run | the pump. It was then discovered that another transformer would be needed to carry the load if the motor was connected, and one was rushed over from Goshen. But all the time, water in the stand pipe was getting lower and lower. And the March wind 4 wwi j blowing, and thought of fire was in . the minds of many. Finally, after much prying with . bars, hte turbine started to work : 1 1 and the situation was saved, j When the pipe was again filled, ‘ gates to the turbine closed, and as-1 ter some difficulty, water to the turbine closed off, James Searfoes went j underneath the pump house to find j out what waa wrong. 1 1 He discovered that over a period of years, rubbish, sticks^etc., had: j become lodged in the of a the I ' ) turbine and had finally become wedged htere so tightly that the turbine refused to move, and that the water supply directly to the tur1 bine could not be controlled. After the rubbish was removed the k turbine worked efficiently. But the board decided that as soon 1 as the water becomes winner, this < spring, that the gates and turbine ! 1 shall be gone over again to make 1 sure they are in good shape. Noble Myers also stated that if ‘ anything happened in the future to the turbine, that the motor could be 1 connected by the electric company s within half an hour. •♦—— TO BE CANDIDATE — “Bully” Dewart is announcing that he is a candidate for trustee, of Turs key Creek Township on the TJemo- ‘ cratic ticket.

YORK ADDRESSES UNION SERVICES Anti-Saloon League Head Claims Conditions Worse Since Repeal of Amendment. f I In his address at the Union services of churches of Syracuse, at the United Brethren church, Sunday evening, L. E. York, Indiana Anti- , Saloon League superintendent said: During the repe I campaign we were told thet Prohibition was to blame for all our ills, and four iin- 1 portant things were named, unemployment, high t xes, drunkenness and crime. Now that prohibition is gone, what alibi has the liquor traf- ) sic to offer for our present condition. Unemployment is still with us. Everything is taxed, except the air we breathe, and our tax rate is higher i than ever. Drunkenness has increased at least 100 per cent and the front pages of our state press are almost covered with crime new’s. We are told that during the year 1933, we received $1,865,1*00 in revenue from the liquor traffic, but ■ the two most important things were left untold, and that is—we spent ! $10,000,000 for liquor in order that we might, get $1,865,000. This $lO,- 1 [ 000,000 was diverted from the men j lin legitimate and necessary business I and given to liquor dealers and at . ' the same time was taken from family budgets at ••***s wh«w rapst needed. , The liquor dealers will do one half ' i of the work to put themselves out of L ! business and - the fight thinking peo- : pie will do the half and the job will Ibe finished. # 4 | Our youth of High school and col- [ , lege age must given the truth 1 about alcohol from a physic. 1, biological, economic, social and moral ■ viewpoint in order that they may pro- j tect themselves against the ravages j of this unsocial-hazard. They must ! * get this information from suitable > ' texts and under competent in- ; 1 structors. We must conduct an educational 1 campaign that will reach both adult and youth in order that our citizen- ; ship may act wisely in choosing good men and women to enact and enforce our lawte. DID JOEL WILTS FACE GET RED AT TOURNEY? This is the story of how Joel W'ilt’s ; face got red in Gary, where he refereed the sectional basketball tournament.

Answering i the phone, he Jbeard an impatient voice inquiring his whereabouts, and 1 if he didn't kneiv that he was to ofI ficiate at 2 o'clock. Wilt replied that he knew it, but had fallen asleep. With but a few moments to go, Wilt dressed huflriedly, slipping his top coat over hi* shirt. He rushed to the elevator, descend- i ed, hurried thrtMgh hte lobby of the hotel and started for the basketball gymnasium on foot. He noticed several people smiling, as he hurri- j ed to his destination, but paid no attention. When he arrived at the gym, he debated with himself whether to go in the front docHr, or the side door. .He finally detidod in favor of the side door due to the jam of people at the front door. He rushed up to the door, grabbed the handle, and just then a youthful voice full of laug ghter yelled: “Mr. Referee, you are about to loose your pants.** WiR gasped. looked down, and found that his suspenders were hanging way below his knees.

LOCAL BANK DEPOSITORS WILL MEET Show Down Expected Tomorrow Evening 8 At Meeting. Everyone interested in having a bank in Syracuse with federal guarantee of deposits, is urged to attend the meeting of depositors of the State Bank of Syracuse to be held tomorrow’ evening (Friday) in the Grade School building at 7;30 o’clock. The bank situation in Syracuse is still a situation. Some few depositors have not signed the depositors agreements, and some stockholders of the bank have not paid their assessment on stock, nor turned in the stock to be sold. These two things remain to be accomplished before the Syr..cuse bank will open under class “A” with fedei al j guarantee of deposits, every j depositor with 3100 must sign a waiter and every share of stock must be paid tor, for capital for this new -bank. The ; 15th of March is only a few days away, and as far as can be learned this is the final date that the state banking department will await the completion of the plan—the only plan—for the rehabilitation of the bank. There is still approximately .$25,- | 000 in deposits controlled by eight people who have not signed waivers. On Wednesday, yesterday, assessment had been paid on 195 shares of stock,, and 71 shares had been turn*ed in to be Sold by stockholders. That leaves 74 shares still to be aci counted for. The bank officials are confident | that assessment will be paid on the major portion of the 74 shares. They are judging from the conversations and promises which have been made by owinars of thia stock. Charles Purdum, on the committee i of depositors, stated that he expected a sho* down at the meeting of the ’ depositors ,tomorrow evening and is i urging everyone interested in the [ bank to be present.
