Keeter ask ed the State Attorney General for a ruling on what may be done. In a letter to Keeter, Assistant At torney General James Bullock said in part: “The governing body of a municipality has the authority to fluoridate the water supply upon its own motion and it is not inecessary to present the issue to a vote of the people. In the ab sence of some authority in your charter or a special act; we do not believe that the question can be submitted to a vote of the peo ple since our Supreme Court has stated that an election cannot be held without legislation authoriza tion. Therefore we do not believe that you could present the ques tion to the voters at a special elec tion or at the November election without specific authority.” Raleigh and Apex are the only Wake County towns who have add ed fluoride to city water supplies. Wake Forest Rural Firemen were on the scene in minutes and quickly had the fire out.
