Shirley Town Board Implements Heater and Road Plans
The Shirley town board replaced the fuel oil heater with an electric unit in the north well house to cut costs via higher flat rates. They plan to improve Shirley park roads and reroute the road to the Little League diamond before projects begin. A water fountain will be installed at the diamond using purchased pipe. Lewis Gray Jr. was appointed clerk treasurer and read a contract with Knightstown allowing Shirley to use the Knightstown dump for 10 dollars monthly. The board discussed delinquent water bill collection and alley maintenance as well as double parking by delivery trucks on Main Street. Attendance pins were awarded at Shirley Methodist Church to twelve Sunday School members with various year pins noted. Sixty-nine Sunday School members completed fourth quarter 1960 attendance. The Hancock County Mutual Aid Association will meet at Shirley town hall on Monday January 16 with installation of 1961 officers. Hosts will be Shirley Volunteer Fire Department members.
