Water District Annexes Area Near Carbondale
The South Highway Water District trustees approve an annexation of 2 500 acres south of Carbondale by Jackson County Court November 29. A $180 000 five mile extension and a 100 000 gallon storage tank are planned with 130 new customers needed to begin construction in February. Tap fees of 200 placed in escrow secure part of costs, with refunds if construction doesn’t start by May 1. A public meeting at Unity Point School next Friday outlines the project and contracts. The district will finance via revenue bonds and may shorten the line if customer uptake is lower.

NLRB Cites Union and Firms for Unfair Labor Practices
The National Labor Relations Board found Local 818 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Porter-DeWitte Construction Co., Inc., and Potashnick violated labor rules. The order requires settlements with workers and bans non union dues and work permit fees, based on 1959 events on Interstate Rt. 67 in Union Johnson and Williamson counties. The ruling followed a nine day hearing in Marion in January 1960 and recommended bans on coercive fees and layoff practices affecting non union and certain union workers.
