to review the coming boards May
Is approval Of the site. Four
previous sites were considered by
the new fire company. but all
were dropped or turned down
for one reason or another prin-
cipally because Of neighborhood
opposition in each case.
A few chosen representatives
presented the issues pro and con.
When the hour-long hearing
ended, the coming board voted
unanimously to stand pat on its

Here are some Of the COM
ments the coming board heard
from more than $50 who packed
the hearing room:
Philip Brophy, attorney for
the fire company-"The site is
just about in the middle of the
area to be served. The fire COM
pany went ahead and bought 1t
for $18.500 after it was approved
the first time"
Mrs. 81. L. Chippeaux-T There
Is no direct access to Arlington
boulevard from the alternate site
proposed by the South Woodley
people. Besides. it would cost a
lot more and wouldn't be as
large"

Annandale Fire Department

couldn't get there fast enough.

moved into his territory. He was
particularly piqued at the swatch

behind as 1t pumped out waste
at an 10 tons per minute clip.
It looked bad for the fish. Worse
than any hook, perhaps.
Immediate cries went up that
with such waste spread around
in great quantities the fish would
soon die. the sea would be con-
taminated and the lead COM
pany's leftovers would knock out
q commercial and sport fishing
business worth about SIS million
to every one concerned. Belabored
on all sides. the lead company
asked the academy-throug the
National Research Council - to
make q study to determine II,
after all. the waste was harmful.
With the company footing the
bill. the academy contacted
scientists from the Fish and
Wildlife Service and the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution
in Massachusetts.
One investigator spent eight
months In the area. Another few

OF each boat as well as the big
black barge. Another spent most

three minutes If he got caught
IN the, turbulent wake. His nor

away from the wake, probably
toward the fishermen.
Scientists found a rapid neu-
tralization Of the acid waste"
after 1t mixed with sea water.
There was no dangerous con-
tamination.
Another scientist reported,
after examining scores of
Sponges, crabs, sea cucumbers
and sea urchins. he could find no
widespread humiliation of the
bottom fauna" which was what
fishermen had charged would
happen.
The scientists. in short, recon-
mended the barge could continue
dumping waste out in the ocean
and described it as a pretty good
way to get rid Of waste materials
since the sea handled it all well,
breaking chemicals down to sea
water in the end. The report also
might serve as a starter for any
project that attempts to test areas
OF water suspected of contamiha-
ton. SO complete was the study
Of the disposal Of chemical waste

The county Board of Elections has
charge of all registration records,
the printing of ballots, the employ
ing of precinct workers on elec-
ton day, and all other details
necessary for the huge task.
The precinct workers are again
representatives of both political
parties and the law requires there
be in each polling place, an equal
number of workers from each
party. The county Board of Elec-
tons instructs the precinct work
ers in the proper functioning of
their polling place, how the ballots
are distributed, cast and account
ed for, and the provisions of law
governing voting.
Working at the polls on election
day is one of the duties of citizen
ship, and should be accepted with
the same responsibility as jury
duty. 1t is their province to insure
that every qualified voter in Ohio
who presents himself to vote is
given the proper ballots and that
the votes are accurately counted.
