Emmitsburg Town Council unanimously objects to a swimming pool in the new Catoctin High School in Thurmont.

The $3 million school was approved by the school board 4 to 3 after negotiations with Frederick Construction Company. In other actions, the town clerk received a 435 per week raise and police chief W E Law must submit daily reports.
