Taxpayers Defeat Sewers Bond Proposal in Town Meeting
In a 470 to 316 vote, Bris tol taxpayers rejected a $700,000 sewer extension plan pushed by Town Council President Joseph A. Margo. A large crowd of 822 attended the Andrews School gymnasium special meeting where Capone and Murgo proposals were debated, and a 20 to 30 year bond plan faced fierce opposition amid health concerns and calls for a building committee. Dr Samuel D. Clark questioned sewer effectiveness on Sowams Drive and Greenway Drive, warning the issue may be exaggerated.
