ems to disturb wells and septic
tanks in the neighborhood. He
added that one of the adjoining
properties will lose 80 percent Of
its value because of the quarry
operation.
Mrs. Stella Werner, Council
woman, urged drafting of spe.
cial ordinance to cover such OPP
erations but also noted that ION.
ing control, as provided in the
two-year Up-County coming ordin-
ance il also needed to curb them.
County Attorney Charles M.
Irelan was instructed to prepare
a draft of an ordinance regulat-

Mrs. Alice Hostetler and Herbert

he added, is now filled with 35
feet of water.
