Court Will Decide On Voting Case In Arendtsville
Judge John A. MacPhail said he will issue a decision on the Arendtsville election question this month and likely will not order a new election for school director and auditor in the Upper Adams School District. At a Saturday hearing witnesses from the petitioners said they saw no fraud in the ballot omission. the judge noted no fraud evidence makes a re election unlikely. Possible orders include voiding the election with a new vote or voiding it while keeping current officeholders until the 1970 general election when the process would repeat.
