Williamstown Massachusetts residents voting last night rejected a 250000 water system loan by 203 to 163, approving 48000 for a gravel packed well instead. The big loan proposal, supported by Roger C Jewett, included a 2 million gallon stand pipe and sought federal aid under the Area Redevelopment Act, while George C Schryver opposed federal assistance. J Maynard Austin, town manager, received a 700 annual raise amid protests, and the town also budgeted 12700 for office machinery to curb extra clerical hires.
