Last evening at its regular monthly meeting the Municipal Board directed that a $15,000 bond anticipation note be redeemed. "This wipes the slate clean," noted Board chairman Dan Klinger. "At the moment neither the electric or water department has any funded debt. With ambitious projects contemplated, we realize that this being completely out of debt is only a temporary situation, but it is a pleasant feeling nevertheless A special meeting of the was tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

This cons'u-uction project involves the installation of approximately 2.000 feet of ten inch water main and appurtenances, including connections to existing mains.

And they are usually so taking care of others that they don't have time to take proper care of themselves. They are the forgotten heroes of this They pay most of the taxes, are the chief support of churches and universities, do. most of the world's work and most of its worrying, and suffered most of its heart and ulcor attacks. And after raising their own children they have to start in serving as unpaid baby-sitters for their grandchildren. Numbly they ask themselves: "When does the fun begin?" For them, it doesn't.

The plight of the middle-aged today is pretty much the same as that of a blind mule in a coal mine.

The approval for this action was given by the supervisors following the recommendation of the highway, ways and means and finance committees.

The recommendation was originally made by Ferd Shear, Allegany County highway superintendent. He stated in his recommendation that he believes the municipality which has the control over a road should be responsible for its maintenance. "It is my understanding," Mr. Shear wrote, "that the state vehicle and traffic law does not allow the county to have any effective traffic control over county roads or sections of county roads which lie within a village's boundary." Roads to be transferred include: Alfred .70 of a mile of County Road 12 from state-maintained section in the village southerly to the village line. Almond .30 of mile of County Road 2 from Route 21 westerly to the village line.

Angelica 8 .85 of a mile of County Road 20 from Route 408 southerly to the village line. Belmont .13 of a mile' of County Road 37 from Route 17 east on Wells Lane and north on Court Street to Route 244; and .18 of County Road 48 from Route 244 northerly to the village line.

To the Editor: It took our village several years to find a satisfactory location fgr its refuse disposal. The present landfill operation has solved' at least the problem of the unsightly dump once so much a part of our landscape, it not be pos- counly to find an 3 growing junk car menace? Should it nol now be deemed as unsightly to see dead cars slrewn over the landscape as to tolerale luncheon wrapping and empty botlles along Ihe highway? State laws are beginning to regulate the junk car yardr. But old cars are appearing in strange places. Of course there is no easy answer to aged cars, unless they are lucky enough to find a bam where they can stored a- wailing the day of antique status.

One who has a collection of them around his place must always hope that some part will prove useful somewhere, like his collection of old furniture in cellar or attic. Or perhaps the price of scrap stee'i will yet lake old cars inlo Ihe market. Dread the thought that we should ever indulge in the hope thai another world war would clear our lanes and pastures of tli3se eyesores. Garbage is not bad if it is all in one p'ace ancl properiy handled, buried or treated. Why not a central dump for old cars bo- fore the blight spreads.

Would transportation be prohibitive? Surely some centrally located ravine, old quarry or hidden glen couid be mandated as a graveyard for these castoffs. Then our landscape could be groomed to appear the truly great natural resource that it really is.
