Youth Arrested POLO A 13-year-old rural Polo boy was arrested Tuesday for speeding and having no valid license following an accident on a gravel road one- half mile north of the White Pines road and the Lowell Park blacktop intersection.

The youth received minor injuries in the accident. (Continued from Page 1) the cost of a village sewage system could be financed with a federal aid; 30 per cent by the state and the village would be responsible for the remaining 20 per cent of the cost.

He said the soil in the village does not accept a septic tank system and sand seeps in clogging the tanks.

He added, believe the majority of villagers would like a sewage Rejects Referendum DeVine noted, 1961 the village board rejected a bid of $116,000 for a sewage referen dum and I am sure the cost now will be much President Harry Remroy said, board is now and has always been in favor of a village sewage system, however we must serve the people and the decision will be up to He added it would probably be a year before the village will vote on a referendum for sewage project. Oberlander, in a question anc answere period following the meeting, said it is as illegal to drain automatic washers onto yards as it is to pump septic tanks onto yards. All citizens with the exception of one spoke in favor of a vil lage sewer system. Many statec they felt this was the only de sirable solution to the problem. The woman, speaking in favor of the septic tank system said she has been pumping her tank onto the yard for the past 35 years.

Another citizen said regardless of how long the problem has existed is not the issue, rather, how soon it could be corrected. Oberlander in a last remark to citizens said, must repair the present tanks or install a new system, as such conditions cannot be allowed to continue.
