Water System Voted
Down
North East Residents Defeat
Proposal For Public
Improvement

The citizens of North East have
finally voted down the proposal to
establish a public improvement by
the installation of a town water
system. A special election was held
on Friday.
The referendum was taken after
new registration had been made
and after leaders made sure they
had complied with the terms of the
court ruling in previous legal con-
tests over the issue. This is expected
to settle the issue for the time be-
ing, at least.
The voters by 35-vote margin
turned down the town boards pro-
posal to bond the town for $4,000
to help finance construction of a
modern plant to take the place of
the present well system. The vote
was 291 to 256.
The North East Improvements
Association and the Chamber of
Commerce had advocated the water
project, which had been urged by
State Health Department officials.
The majority of the new town board
also favored it, but the proposal had
been moot issue with taxpayers as
whole, for more than two years.

miles in Maryland where the beetle
infestation is most severe.
The beetle is a scourage of farm
crops, city lawns, gardens, and golf
courses from Maine to Georgia, and
west to st. Louis, with the heaviest
"belt" from Connecticut to Mary
land.
Damage is estimated in the hun
dreds of millions of dollars. II un-
impeded, the beetle might spread
over most of the nation.
The new bacterial bullet" was
discovered by the late DR.. G. F.

culture entomologist. Federal tests
in New Jersey showed it causes as
high as 80 per cent mortality among
beetle grubs-the underground stage
in the insects life cycle between
egg and adult.
