Hours 9 to 5 Including Sat. Phone 1130 Poll Gives Edge to Fluoridation Plan Proponents and opponents of fluoridation here are about evenly divided, according to indications of the current poll being conducted through the Democrat-Herald for the city council, but thus far the balloting has been light. The balance is slightly in favor of proponents, however, for today's count showed 25 favor and 21 disfavor ingestion of sodium fluoride into the city water supply system. The fluoridation program, sponsored by the Albany Junior Chamber of Commerce, proposes ingestion of one part of the fluoride per million gallons of water to make up in part a deficiency in the local water supply which, it is claimed, is responsible for the high incidence of tooth decay among local children. Opposition has sprung mainly from those who claim it is wrong to "medicate" the water, expressing fear of excessive dosages, casting doubt on the efficacy of the program or pleading for more time for observation of experimental projects under way.

Coupons for balloting are being carried in the Democrat-Herald, and will be continued until Friday, inclusive, completing a 2-weeks survey.
