Corry Council Faces Dual Protests Over Sewer and Rates
About 20 residents urged council to oppose extending the South Center street sewer to Airport road for a 50 unit housing project, arguing costs would burden local property owners. They urged CAIDC or city funding, septic options, or federal aid, but officials said funds are unavailable. The panel favored extending to the housing site but postponed full Airport road sewer, citing health concerns and monitoring. The discussion consumed over two hours.

Judge nullifies 1969 UMW Presidency race
A federal judge voided the 1969 United Mine Workers election of W. A. Boyle for flagrant legal violations and ordered a new vote. The court named a timetable later, with Boyle and other officers including John Owens and George Titler facing new elections. The ruling stems from evidence of incumbents using union facilities and funds to influence the outcome amid post election turmoil surrounding Joseph Yablonski.
