Sewer Referendum Set For July 10
The village board set July 10 for a general election on a $100,000 sewer bond to upgrade the sewage treatment plant to meet state requirements by the 1972 deadline. State funds may cover about $33,000, with federal aid hoped to reduce village financing of about $65,000. If the bond fails, state law could compel a bond issue.
