Sarah Bratter. The Kittery Fire Dept. was called in to cover Central Station. Firefighters put out a small fire in the ties of the BM line Monday. From Page One PLANNERS Canney said although the pro- posed housing would be taxed to an extent, "the taxes on this building will never be enough to provide the services which will be necessary for this particular population group." Planning Board took other votes in connec- with the Farragut, including one on a motion by member Mary Anne Sharer to "make sure the building isn't demolished." Her motion was seconded by Charles Vaughn, who said he was "vehemently opposed to tiose demons of destruction" and it would be "incredible to "'tear down" the Farragut and -iuild a courthouse on the land.

The latter possibility had been discussed yesterday by the Courtroom Study Committee, according to member Maher. Maher said the group had discussed the possibility of tearing down the Farragut, or perhaps half of it and use the other half for some kind of court facilities. Another vote-- this one unanimous-- was taken that in any action on the Farragut, "private UK" of the building would take priority over municipal use. of Italy The Seacoait Area Lodge No. Sou of Italy In America, will meet July in UK ledge rawn on Cmgreit Street p.m.

From Page One PEASE Collins said EPA apparently isn't certain just what the effect on the contaminant is as yet, und what if anything can he done so far as restoration of the wells is concerned, if they can be restored. Collins said, "EPA honestly isn't sure that they have." Collins said, "EPA honestly isn't sure what they have." There has also been no official indication how the solvent actually got into the Pease water. A base spokesman said the solvent hasn't been used at Pease for "five or six years." Another step taking place at the base at present is drilling by the Hanna Co. in the well area to sec if water can be obtained in a "trough of gravel" far enough from any contaminant to be used, Collins said. The long-range picture, on which no one is commenting, is that the water supply generally for this area of New Hampshire is not in the greatest of shape so far as quantity is concerned.

If the Pease wells should go out for good, then it might be an impetus for the federal government to lend its weight to some sort of overall strong regional water supply system. However, that is simply conjecture at this point, as is the future, if any, of the two Pease wells. So far as city officials can determine, the city doesn't have any legal obligation to supply Pease with water. City Manager Calvin A. Can- ncy said yesterday that some sort of meeting on the situation may be set up later, after the full extent of the situation is determined.

At the moment, that appears to be the "iffy" situation. Meanwhile, the heat continues to clamp its fiery grip on the Seacoast, thus compounding the water usage problems. From Page One CHAMBER "It should be recognized a possibility exists that some new business prospects will require and insist on obtaining additional information relative to locations outside the stated jurisdiction of the'Portsmouth Economic Commission. "In such a circumstance, The Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, because of it's membership make-up and a i i acknowledges an obligation to offer any requested assistance directly to these interested sources. is the policy of our Chamber to concern itself with regional economic issues because we believe this jap- proach can have a positive influence on the total economy of the Seacoast Region.

"The purpose of this statement is to clarify our scope and intent. We want to foster a spirit that must exist if we are to obtain the highest benefit from available sites in our Seacoast Region and Portsmouth in particular."
