Runninlz for Town Council Named to run for Town Supervisor (incumbent Edward Seitz Sr. declined to seek reelection’) was William Lochner, a high ranking man in the‘ West Webster Fire Department. ‘ _In the course of discussion. Supervisor Edward Seitz pointed out that ifthewebster Mall was to go in,under that law. over a 10 year period the town would stand to lose $10,000 in taxes. Councilman Richard Prinzing argued that the town could lose the whole Mgli. Opposing the move was Councilman Nancy Thomas who argued that “Pd hate to have commercial business move along the Express- way.” (to Wayne County.) She concluded by saying that “We should do everything we can to attract business to the com- munity.\ Councilman Thomas brought up the subject of the proposed change in the sign ordinance she had suggested the week before. Her proposal would require political signs to be posted on property only after the owner of the prop- erty made a special applica- tion to‘ the Building Depart- ment for a special permit. At present the leader of the political party can obtain a blanket permit covering all signs appearing in the town. The application would be ac» companied by a sketch. more or less to scale. showing actual size-and location of the sign in relation to lot lines and structures and permits would also be required for licensed vehicular mounted signs. in cluciingrtrailers anda permit would be required for each“ change of location‘ Supervisor Seitz pointed out that “we have an ordi- nance against puttinp: things on poles.\ “I object to the extra work this would bringto our build- ing department,” he added. Councilman Murphy added that he felt this would be harassing private h.ome owners who wished to sup- port Candidates, —_ Councilman Prinzing ‘com- mented that he wouldgo with limiting the size of the signs to four by four instead\ of four by ‘eight for “for. sale” signs and wondered what was normal for “_for‘ sale\ signs. Supervisor Seitz urged that the proposal be tabled and Murphy so moved. All ‘voted in favor of tabling except Mrs. Thomas who had termed the political signs “a blight? ‘ :Building Department head Harr_vGreer reported that the chairman of the Planning ‘Board yrished to ‘tour the ‘ '((\r§int'iviiue’d'on l5age''.§.l-‘ '“ “We haven't. seen any information that indicates whether schools are the ones to do all the savings (of fuell.” added Mrs. Norene Green. a board member. . “And if we did close. it would have to be done‘ in connection with other schools in the region, because of ath- letic schedules. things like that.\ ’Mrs. Nancy Brush. another board member, said. The board\s rejection of the winte-r shutdown idea received considerable sup- port from the Webster teaching staff. Earlier, in- structors voted 322-65 against the ‘proposal. Then. in :1 letter to the board dated March I 1., the teachers (through the WTA, the Webster Teachers’ Association. the instructors’ bargaining unit) listed nine reasons/questions against the shutdown: (1) Will fuel‘ really‘ be saved —- is’there’evi~» dence! (2)»Are schools primary consumers of fuel! If not. will other sectors of .soCiety’ share in this effort to save by closing; too!
