SEWAGE PLANT At
FA|RM0NT HOME
State Board Has Approved
Plans for Disposal Works,
Construction of Which Is
to Begin Soon.
(From q Stan correspondent.)

Columbus, O., Aug. 8. The state
board of health has approved the
plans, prepared by Snow G. Barber.
consulting engineers, Of Columbus, for
a new sewage disposal works for the
Fairmount Children's home at Alli-
aRce. Some weeks ago r. Winthrop
Pratt, engineer of the board, made an
investigation of the sewage disposal
plant at the institution, recommended
it's abandonment and the installation
of new one.
The commissioners of Stark and Co
lumbiana counties, which jointly
maintain the home, engaged the CO.
lumbus engineering firm mentioned to
prepare plans for a new plant and
now that they have been approved by
the state board it is likely work will
be started on the improvement soon.
Mr.. Josiah Hartzell, member of the
board, gave the plans his approval on
condition that suitable quality of
sand would be used and that the au-
thorities carry out the engineers in
structions relative to the operation of
the plant. He stated that the last plan
approved by the board for a sewage
disposal plant at the home was fail
ure not because Of defective operation
but to a mistake in location. He said
there would have been no failure had
the plant been located as originally
designed. The sewage problem is one
which has caused trouble at the insti-
tuition for years.

Gently, the announcement was made
that the inspectors would next begin
to look for other foreign substances
that might be in the milk for the pur-
pose Of keeping the fluid sweet, and es-

Under the state law a conviction
could be secured against milk dealer

made by the national government show
that borax is perfectly harmless and
In reality beneficial.
The question was agitated first dur
ing the Spanish-American war wheA
it was discovered that quarters of beef
that were being shipped to the army
had been coated with borax in order
to kill germs and preserve the meat
from spelling. There was great stir
