By FRED SWIFTThe burning of Eller Bridge was it the

most vicious andcostly case ofHalloween vandalismin Hamilton Countyhistory or was it thestates most outrageousand foolhardy effort toobstruct schoolconsolidation

After 59 years noone knows for sure

and no one was ever brought to justice forthe destruction

The Eller bridge was a wooden coveredbridge built in 1869 over White River at116th Street The faded red structure framedby huge trees along the riverbank was thesubject of countless paintings by localartists The bridge was also the principalconnection for motorists between Carmeland Fishers the next closest river crossingbeing three miles north at 146th Street

In the late 1950s school consolidationwas beginning in Indiana It was a topic of

conversation in every small town where theidea often met with opposition In HamiltonCounty there was talk of merging schools inFishers with Carmel Sheridan withWestfield and Jackson Central with WalnutGrove (Only the Jackson Central-WalnutGrove consolidation ever materialized)

Some believed that opponents of theFishers-Carmel merger were responsible forburning the Eller Bridge thus makingtransportation for any consolidated schooldistrict more difficult

Others believed that it was Halloweenvandals who were responsible because itwas in October a short time beforeHalloween 1957 that the bridge burned

Officials said it looked like the arsonistsknew what they were doing The woodentimbers were apparently soaked with aflammable material The structure burned inless than an hour and the remains fell intothe river It took more than two years to get a

The Noblesville Street Department is in the processof their annual leaf pickup program which will continueweekly until Friday Dec 2 There are two methods thatresidents may use to dispose of leaves 1)Bagging leaves in free biodegradable bags and 2)Raking loose leaves to the grass area next to the curbThe bagged leaf method is the quickest method ofpickup since bagged leaves are picked up citywide oncea week on residentsrsquo regularly scheduled trash dayThere can be a waiting period of up to three weeksbetween loose leaf pickups because street crews makea continuous circuit of the city with the leaf vacuums

ldquoThe city utilizes street sweepers to assistin leaf clean-up along with our leaf vacuums whichhopefully speeds up the process and keeps yards andstreets clean and beautiful throughout NoblesvillerdquoStreet Department Commissioner Patty Johnson said

Bagged leaves will be picked up on the same day asresidentsrsquo regular trash day but not necessarily the sametime since leaves are collected by the street departmentand not Republic Services Please make surethat leaves are only bagged in the free biodegradablebags provided by the city and are placed separately fromtrash containers Residents may set out as manybiodegradable bags as necessary but each bag must

weigh no more than 40 pounds Bags are available freeof charge to Noblesville residents at all fire stationsCity Hall (16 S 10th St) street department (1575Pleasant St) parks department (701 Cicero Road) andthe Hamilton County Household Hazardous WasteCenter (1717 Pleasant St)

If residents choose to rake their loose leaves theymust be collected as close to the edge of the street aspossible without placing leaves in the streetLoose leaves with brush grass litter andor other debriswill not be picked up as this will damage equipment

Neither loose leaves nor bagged leaves will bepicked up in alleys Pickups will only be in front of aresidentrsquos house until Dec 2 After Dec 2 if residentshave bagged or loose leaves for pickup they will needto contact the street department and provide theiraddress The street department will continue to pickup leaves after this date as weather permits Please notethat residents are strongly encouraged to bagtheir leaves after Dec 2 because loose leaves run therisk of freezing which then makes them unable to bepicked up by the leaf machines

For more information about the leaf programcontact the Street Department at (317) 776-6348

new steel and concrete span built to replacethe iconic covered bridge

The mystery of whodunit and whyremains to this day The loss reduced thenumber of the countys covered bridges fromtwo to one At one time there had been atleast a half-dozen of the picturesque bridgesin Hamilton County

There are certain ironies involved in theEller bridge destruction The Carmel-Fishersconsolidation would likely have neverhappened because even in 1957 schoolofficials realized that tremendous populationgrowth was coming to the southern part of

the county and such a merged school districtwould eventually be unnecessarily large

And due to that population growth thebridge may have been doomed within a veryfew years Can you imagine todays heavytraffic pounding across a wooden bridge on116th Street

In the 1950s there was little interest insaving such bridges for historical reasonsso unfortunately the bridge might well havesoon been demolished in the name ofprogress In any event it makes for a greatif tragic Halloween-time mystery story

The Millers and the Tigers play eachother every season as part of the HoosierCrossroads Conference The districts bordereach other Their football fields are aboutfive miles apart

There arent very many secrets betweenthe two teams said Noblesville coach JasonSimmons His Millers will travel toReynolds Tiger Stadium on Friday to takeon Fishers in the semi-finals of Class 6ASectional 4 Kickoff is scheduled for 7 pm

The two teams played each other backin Week 3 of the regular season withNoblesville winning 28-21 in a game thatwas also played on the Fishers field

Noblesville is an outstanding team thathas continued to improve since our firstmatch-up said Tigers coach Rick Wimmerwho called the Millers well coached andnoted that Noblesville has learned how towin close games
