State Holds Up Work On VFW Pool
Construction of the $73,000 Olympic size pool and bath house at the VFW Country Club is stalled awaiting approval of waste treatment plans by the Maryland Department of Health. Health officer Dr. Forbes H. Burgess said the post began building without required health permits, amid reports of sewage overflow and clay soil causing very poor percolation.

Lodge said a solution and state approval are near.
