14 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE Tuesday, Dec. 9, 1952 Board of Works Denies Sielliie Sewer Request The City Board of Works Monday turned down a request by the Haynes Stellite Company for the construction of a sewer to carry storm water from the company's plant to the municipal sewage disposal plant. In taking the action, the board said in a resolution unEmimously adopted, that no money is available In the 1953 budget for such a project The board said that if the funds were available, they could not be expended for such purposes under state laws even though the sewer project might be of benefit to the city. According to the resolution, the only appropriation in the 1953 city budget where the sewer project might be aided is in the garbage and refuse department where $10.000 is available for the purchase of materials such as sewer tile and pipe. The board's recommendation will be submitted to the city council committee that originally received the request.

If the council -will assure the hoard that the sewer tile was intended to be used for a project such as proposed by Haynes Stellite the board is willing to provide 24- inch storm sewer tile, it said. The project runs from the intersection of Linsday Street and Park Avenue north to Wildcat Creek, a distance of 400 feet. Councllmen Clyde Mays, Ealph Wllloughby and J. High were appointed by Council President O. Davis some time ago to study the matter.

Haynes Stellite is using considerably more "water due to an expansion of its operations over the last year and a half. The company says the sewer would be needed to carry off storm water. Under the company's request, the cost of the sewer would be shared by the company and the city. In other action, the board approved the recommendation ol Police Chief Don Scott that Robert Williams, a temporary cadet patrolman, be named a cadet patrolman. The resignation of cadet patrolman Floyd Lamb also was accepted.

Lamb is entering the tavern business. A declaratory resolution calling for the construction of a sanitary sewer near the intersection of Purdum and Monroe Streets, was passed. A hearing was set for Monday, Dec. 29. The board also adopted the final assessment roll for the improvements done earlier this year on Korth Burk Street.
