Citizens Meeting
Well Attended
The citizens meeting held in the
| Harrington Fire House Monday eve
nlng to discuss the sewerage uues-
tion for the town of HARRINGTON was
well attended. Nearly two hundred
! were present. Prof. J. C. Messner
was chosen as chairman of the meet
7 ing. The chief speaker of the even
ing was Mr.. R. c. Beckett, State
Sanitary Engineer, who had tentative
i drawings and plans covering the
proposed system. Those in attend
ance availed themselves of the op-
portunity to seek information on va
rious points of the plan and Mr..
Beckett explained each question to
| the best of his ability.
Yesterday was election day on the
nrst of the two questions to decide
the issue. During the time the polls
were open from to p. m. it rained
most of the time and in all proba-
blllty those intending to vote stayed
away from the polls account of the
storm. The voting was very light.
only TT ballots were cast. The re-
suits obtained after the tally was
made was surprising to many. It
was generally thought that most of
the voters would favor a commission
to build the plant, but instead 1O2
voted for the town council as against
"a for a sewer commission. The
other question which seemed to ap-
peal to the voters when 159 voted for
the direct taxation plan as against
18 who favored the front footage
plan. The next move to be made ac-
cording to the bill is to obtain a
survey in order to arrive at an ap-
proximate cost. Then a referendum
election will be held to decide for or
against its installation.
