Mr.. GRANTS STATEMENT.
Says No Acids Run Into the Sewers
From Automobile Plant.

Evidently Superintendent McCand-
less was making a .tatement he knew
nothing about when he said in his al
frmative answer filed in the injunc-
ton suit of the Automobile Company
that the washings from our batteries
contain acids which eat away the
sewers" said Mr.. L. T. Grant of the
Automobile Company Yesterday after
noon. While not trying our case in
the newspapers the fact of the publi-
cation of Mr. McCandles5 answer in
The Republican might cause a preju-
dice 10 aIise which is unwarra ted and
l would therefore like to make a short
statement of the actual Iaces.
in the first place We do not use
any acid or acids in washing our ma
chinery or any part OF it, so that there
would be no acids running into the

heavy TO wash in a sink and are laid
out on the ground and was led with

the water from the washing would en-
ter the sewer is the rubber partitions
of the batteries anu the amount of
acid adhering to them will be found
TO be so small as to be practically in
fnitesimal. This, it seems to me ought
to show how Mr.. McCandless has been
misled in making the statement he
did in his affirmative answer to our
suit

work? Very well, indeed. We expect
