They knew that a total of 621 voters had cast their ballots all day, but figures were available from only one machine. Referring to the malfunctioning machine, one source reported, "One sheet did not print it was all dots." Fay Ginther, chief clerk of the Lehigh County election board and registration commission, was not fazed by the problem.

Ginther said mechanics would have to open the machine and record the vote breakdown manually. "he board chief said she does not expect the trouble to cause a revote in the ward, noting that votes are recorded by the machine when the levers are pulled. Ginther said technicians check the machines carefully before they are delivered to the polling places and actually cast a few dummy votes on all rows of the machines to make sure they are recording. But until the vote totals are known, there also could be some nervous candidates as well as nervous election officials. i l-'i -zr; Virata rist i Sewer rate increases in Catasauqua affect big, small customers Iff V.

A customer with a business that uses little water and has a restroom that is infrequently used might have a quarterly flow of less than 5,000 gallons, The minimum charge puts those customers on a somewhat more equitable scale with unmetered customers who are charged $5 per quarter sewer rental for their first outlets (toilet or sink).

Customers will see the results of the rate increases in January, when their next quarterly bills arrive. 1 nil PhotographybyTELTOULOMELIS 172 votors Three-year-old Andy McGeehin joins his more interested in watching people outside mother Linda in the voting booth at the YM- the curtain than in monitoring his mother's YWCA polling place in Allentown. Andy seems choices. mi fcv where the fatal accident occurred had made settlements with the LaForm estate before the opening of the trial last Tuesday. The fourth defendant, Bethlehem, balked at an out-of-court settlement, he said.

Stevens would not disclose the amounts of the out-of-court settlements. Stevens said the settlements relieve the three defendants from -further payment of damages in the case, but that the jury action does apportion responsibility. Bethlehem Township Atty. Robertson Taylor acknowledged that Bethlehem Town- ship had settled with the estate. Stevens added that he'd been advised that both Bethlehem Township and PennDOT are "interested in correcting" the persisting flooding problem at the intersection.

During the trial, Judge Michael Franciosa said Brown-Borhek was not liable for the accident. mm 'X A hausmAn Bethlehem said likely to appeal La Form case Psychologist to discuss pressures on children Psychologist John Superka of Whitehall Township will discuss "pressures put on children by adults" 7 p.m. Monday at Hiram w. uoda Elementary School, S. Church and Mohawk streets, Allentown.

His discussion is a part of a Parent- Teacher Organization meeting. Also on the agenda is a short play written and performed by the 5th and 6th-grade class. The public is invited to attend. Children, however, must be accompanied by an adult. ByJODI DUCKETT Of The Morning Call Only Catasauqua's largest metered sewage system customers (more than 500,000 gallons of flow per quarter) and smallest customers (less than 5,000 gallons a quarter) are affected by rate increases in a new schedule adopted by borough council Monday night.

The charge for flow of more than a million gallons has been doubled to 60 cents per 1,000 gallons. The charge for flow between 500,000 and a million gallons is also 60 cents per 1,000 gallons, representing a 20 cents per 1,000 gallon increase. For a firm such as the Fuller Co. that could have a million gallons per quarter flow, the new rate schedule will hike its quarterly bill by $100 to $630. The rates at which most metered customers pay for sewage treatment 90 cents per 1 ,000 gallons for flow up to 100,000 gallons per quarter and 60 cents per 1,000 gallons for flow between 100,000 and 500,000 gallons per quarter remain the same.

The rates for unmetered customers also remain the same. The rates for the larger customers were raised, according to Borough Manager Eugene Goldfeder, to ensure that the borough was no longer "giving away" sewage treatment service. He said it costs Catasauqua 78 cents to treat 1.000 gallons. At a 60 cents per 1,000 gallons charge for all flow over 100,000 gallons, the larger users are still geting a break on treatment costs, Goldfeder said. At the other end of the scale, council set a $5 minimum charge for metered customers.

There previously was no minimum charge.

It was the highest damage award in the county's history. Hauser, one of the lawyers representing the city, yesterday had no word on what Bethlehem would do in the face of its liability, but asked rhetorically, "Would you appeal a $510,000 verdict?" Hauser said earlier in the day he had been in touch with the Norristown firm handling the court case and said, "It is my strong belief an appeal will be filed, possibly within the next few days." Atty. John Warner of Marshall, Dennehey, Marner, Coleman Gog-gin, who had presented the city's defense, could not be reached for comment last night.

Stevens, whose closing address Monday charged "municipal indifference in the face of a known, obvious danger," said yesterday he expected no appeal in the case since three of the defendants originally named in the suit the township, PennDOT and the Brown-Borhek Lumber Co. which faces the site GRAPEFRUITS 500 SCALLIONS.

24, 1977, drowning death of student Debra LaForm in Bethlehem Township. Such a move would be "ilj-ad-vised," said Allentown Atty. Richard Stevens, who represented the LaForm estate. He suggested that the next jury "may find them (Bethlehem) wholly responsible" for the 19-year-old woman's death when she was swept down a storm drain following flooding at William Penn Highway and Santee Road. Monday, after four hours of deliberation, a Northampton County jury assigned 51 percent of the responsibility for Miss LaForm's death to the city, 34 percent to Bethlehem Township and 15 percent to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), setting $100,000 damages to be paid for wrongful urn uiUUkTi GOOD EATING RUBY RED SEEDLESS BANANAS lb.
