fc&e Grand jury consideration lias been slated for the case of a 17-year-oW Air Force dependent, charged Friday by City Police with criminally setling a dangerous drug. Capt. Edward Knuffke said Monday that Michael Fennell. son of Co!, and Mrs. Clifford Fennell, 804 Ohio Rd, Platts- burgh Air Force Base, was ireed from Omteft County jail after $2,500 bail was posted at noon Monday. Fennell had originally refused to waive examination on the charge, stemming from the alleged sale of $10 worth of marijuana to a fellow student at Pittsburgh High School, when he appeared before Acting City Judge George Rogan Friday night. Judge Rogan refused to set bail when the youth refused to waive examination and remanded him to jail On the motion of John Bell, retained attorney, the examination was waived and bail set at $2,500 by Rogan this weekend. A hearing slated for 2 p m today in City Court was thus cancelled pnd the case referred ti t 1 ^ grand jury for its consideration. Fennell told police h e obtained the narcotic while spending a Christmas vacation in Puerto Rico, where his father, a staff officer in the 380th ARS. had previously been stationed. SOUTHWOKTlI m found ' JPolice said the studt& «l» was approached by Fenoril, purchased the one-half to out ounce of the drug from him at a cost (rf $10, with money given him by police. It was this alleged sale which led police to arrest the youth following a basketball game at Pittsburgh High Friday evening. . This is \the first case iiK volving either possession or sale of marijuana In the dty in three years, the last involving an airman stationed at PAFB Since that time, according to—Capt. Edward Knuffke. \dozens of complaints alleging the presence of drugs have been investigated, and all of these have been unfounded/' The most recent, he said, was the case of several hippies, who were locked out of their Bridge St. apartment in mid-December, while police and State Police conducted a search of the premises. He said complaints have come variously from parents, teachers or restaurant owners. \We've even picked up materials and had them analyzed.\ the captain said. *'only to find they were not narcotics at all.\ ••We're pretty free o! narcotics problems in the city,\ the captain commented.

That's forcing non-delinquent tax- payers to make up for the delinquencies of those who don't pay. he declared. A solution is to pretend there are no delinquencies; ^carry no tax delinquency ac- ~count in the budget, and borrow on tax anticipation notes when the budget falls short of revenues.
