SEWERAGE PLAN REJECTED.
Voters of Laurel Refuse to Borrow
Money for Improvement.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LAUREL, Nd, March 13, 1912.
At special election held here yes
terday the proposition to allow the
mayor and city council to borrow
1000 for a complete sewerage system
was rejected by vote of 1S1 to 1913, a
majority of thirteen against sewers.
This was the third election in the past
four years in which this subject has
been before the voters, and each time
the sewerage proposition was defeated
by a small majority.
Over one hundred residents of Laurel
few months ago petitioned the city
council to call the special election, but
subsequently a bill was introduced in
the state legislature by Delegate Ogle
Marbury of Laurel, and it passed both
houses and was signed by the gov
ernor. thus compelling a vote on the
bond issue.
Mayor George p McCeney and Coun-
cilmen Edward Phelps and John F.
Palmer favored sewerage, while it was
opposed by three members of the coun-
Gil, William H. Thies. William H. H.
Thies and Howard F. Harrison. AL
though there was heavy downpour of
rain all day, the ardor of the contest
ing factions was undampened, and the
workers sought to get out every vote
before the polls closed.
