been any campaign; consequently, not

and sewage disposal plants.
Chnmizai Controversy Delayed Action.
The garbage burner and the sewa ge
pump were intended to be located on a
tract Of land, secured for the purpose,
on the river bank near what is known
as the Texas & Pacific cutoff" The
/ Chamizal controversy became acute at
about that time and until that ques-
ton was settled it was deemed unwise
or iuadvisable to locate the disposal
plants at that point This caused veX-
atiOus delays.
Under the brief administration Of
mayor Robinson it was decided to
change the location Of the site on the
river, favored by mayor Sweeney, to
site i'm East El Paso south OF the
Franklin canal and near Washington
park This was done in July, 1910, but
a comparatively few days prior to the
untimely accidental death Of mayor Rob
inson.
Kelly Takes Charge.
Mayor Kelly was chosen to succeed
mayor Robinson in office and he pro-
ceeded to award contracts for the con-
structiOn of both Sewage and garbage
disposal plants. on September 20, 1910
bids were opened and contract 1lnal-
~ awarded to the Public Works Eng1-
neering corporation, of Portland, Ore,
through its engineer, F. b. Smith, who
drew the plans and specifications Tor
the plants, the contracts providing that
both plants were not to cost over $780,
600, with a further provision that en-
gineer Smith was to receive five per-
cent of the total cost of the construc-
ton for drawing the plans and specifi-
cations and an additional five percent
for guaranteeing that the plant would
produce satisfactory results for one
year.
Experts and Ell PasO Men Ignored.
According to the account of the pro-
ceedings of the city council meeting at
which the contract was awarded. pub
hshed in The Herald of September 20,
1910, according to the figures submit

corporation amounted to 1927, a diff

tberately pumping all the sewage Of

basin, without an outlet lying close
to Washington park and to human hab-
ltauons. This sewage comes from
hospitals, from houses where disease
exists, from hotels and Institutions as
well as from thousands of human DOM
iciles throughout the city. It would be
hard to imagine worse menace to
the public health than Great Sewer
Lake presents. The stencil is al
most unbearable at any point within

What Was Done Then,
Great Sewer Lake has disappeared,
thanks to the suns and winds Of three
years ana the building of a highline
pipe outlet which carries the sewage,
after being pumped from the deep
sewer, to a point down the river where
il flows into the Rio Grande without
sny pretense being made that It is be-
ing cleaned of its impurities or other
wise made fit, as the original plans
called for. for irrigation purposes or for
the watering Of livestock.

BlOts Upon KeIly's Administration.
There are two blOts upon mayor Krl-
ly administration of municipal affairs
which stand out prominently and which
are going to figure largely in the un-
doing at the polls Of the man who once
boosted in a public speech that the peo-
pie Of FL Paso thought so well Of him
because Of his record THEY WOULD
KEEP HIM IN THE MAYORS CHAIR
FOR LIFE IF HE so DESIRED.
These two blOts are the shameful
treatment accorded the people Of Chi
huahuita. and the abject and utter fail
ure Of the costly garbage and sewage
disposal plants built under his man
agement and direction, in East FL PasO.
Another Dark Spot.
To these might be added another
blot, viz: his utter disregard of the well
fare OF jewellers in East FL PasO, as
manifested by his failure to provide
proper drainage to carry off disease
breeding surface waters and to the per-
sistent dumping Of the city's filth.
which the garbage disposal plant fails
TO dispose of. where IT pollutes the air
Of that section Of the city to the great
discomfort Of the residents therein.
A VexHtiOuE Question.
What to do with the city's refuse, to
prevent its becoming a menace to health
and obnoxious to the Olfactories has
ever been a problem of deep import and
particularly so in cities as close to the
TrOpic Of Cancer as is Ell PasO. Files
OF the FL Paso newspapers, for many
years past, will show that garbag and
sewage disposal has ever been a vital
question.
For years the refuse was dumped into
the bed Of the Rio Grande, whence it
was carried down the river when there
was any water to carry It or where It
was allowed TO decay and breed dis
ease during the dry months.
People Demanded Relief.
With the growth Of the city and its
spread to the eastward, the smells
arising from the decaying garbage dur
ing the dry months of the year. which
are invariably the summer months, be-
came so obnoxious, to so many people,
that IN 1908, during one Of mayor
Sweeney's terms in office, bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 each were voted, the
