links the Commissioner frequently plays
at his favorite game. has locked horns

sewerage system.
The clubhouse is located in Bright

Die has been brewing since the Health
Department declined 80 permit the club
managers to continue its present drain
age system and ordered a modern sys-
tenn to be installed.
The club, through II. V Green, chair
man of the green's committee, insists
that the present system is all right, and
so the matter is halted, awaiting final
Developments. Commissioner West has
so far not concerned himself in the con-
troversy, preferring to play golf quietly
while the others settle the squabble.
As far back as August is the trouble

ment inspector, went out TO the golf
club and inspected the sewerage system.
He returned to the office and reported

ventilation for the escape of foul orders
and dangerous gases"
When Mr.. Sanford was apprised Of
this he wrote a letter to the Commits
