Plant Site
To Be Chosen
In Future
All survey work on a sewer-
age system for the borough of
Mount Joy is completed and a
map showing the lay-out of the
pipes was presented at the
Tuesday meeting of the local
authority.
According to Samuel Miller,
president, after three steps have
been completed, the system
plans will be ready for the
operations of installation to be-
gin.
The three steps are expected
to be completed within the next
three months and work is ex-
pected to begin at the end of
that time.
The first project to be settled
at this date is the location of
the disposal plant. Three sites
are under consideration: the
south side of Longenecker Rd.
the west side of Snyder's Dam
and the peninsula in the creck
beyond the curve in Park Ave.
Each site is being checked for
the best possible location. Blue-
prints for the disposal plant are
already completed.
A joint meeting with the
members of borough council is
being planned to discuss the en
tire project. This meeting will
be held in the very near future.
The last step will be to float a
bond issue and put the
out in bids.

It has long been recognized
s in certain areas in the United
States that the amount of tooth
decay is markedly lower than
in other areas. Careful research
has shown that the only signifi-

areas is that flourides are found

has proved that artificial fluori-
