ALTOGA — The key to suc
cess and wealth in Altoga is own
ing a water meter, with some re
sidents offered as much as
$2,000 for theirs.
“Just about everyone in the
town who has more than two
meters has been approached at
one time or another,” says groc
er John Campbell.
Back in 1974, the Altoga Wa
ter Supply Corp. reached its
capacity of 129 customers.
The water corporation re
fuses to expand until the cost of
its original system is paid off.
The agency will allow no new
water line hookups, even
though outside investors and
developers are making inflated
offers.
Mayor Marvin Page is among
those in the town of 283 wanting
to buy a meter. Page and his
wife, Teresa, want to sell two

Today, the 15th day of the month PUsan in the Jewish Year 5745 is the first day of
Passover. Traditionally, Passover is the holiday commemorating the Exodus of the
Children of Israel with Moses from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a celebration of
FREEDOM. Therefore, at this time of year, Jews remember their brethren who are
not so fortunate as to live in FREEDOM. The persecuted Jews of Syria, Ethiopia, and
particularly of the Soviet Union will HOT BE FORGOTTEN!!
It is for this reason that the liillel Jewish Student Center has adopted Dmitri Ragan,
a 19-year 0 ld Russian student, who (with his family) has repeatedly been refused
permission by the Soviet authorities to exit the USSR. Dmitri and his family are only
a few of the unfortunate 400,000 to 500,000 Jewish refuseniks now trying to get
out of the Soviet Union. They will NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!
We the undersigned support Dmitri and his family in their fight for FREEDOM. We
also recall the struggle of Jews around the world to live in DIGNITY and FREEDOM.
THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!

E ay their price for waterless
ind.
Another consideration is the
desire by most residents to re
tain the town’s rural atmos
phere.
“Some people are mad about
the water situation,” Mrs. Page
said. “But a lot of people like it
because it keeps our town small
— and quiet.”
Mayor Page says, “I’m not in
favor of some big development
or subdivision, but I don’t see
anything wrong with individual
families moving in.”
Mrs. Page’s sister and her hus
band would like to move to Alto
ga from nearby Princeton, but
have been unable to locate prop
erty with water. No one wants to
sell, and no one has a spare
