JOINT WARNINGS ARE ISSUED
County Health Officer Arthur M Brown Said Wednesday That Navy Yard Fertilizer Works Must Eliminate Smell Admiral Grant Says Submarine Base Depends Same Improvement
Same Improvement.

County Health Officer Arthur IT. Brown said Wednesday morning that he considered the c. M. Shay fertilizer plant in Groton as 1t exists today a menace to public health. He said he had suspended issuing judgment in the matter, however, until certain changes and improvements recoH- mended by Dr.. J. T. Black, secretary of the state board of health, are car ried out by MT. Shay. If these al- terations do not result in the elini- nation of the nuisance as it now is, he will undoubtedly order the plant closed.
 While complaints have been made for years regarding the nauseatfng odor arising from the plant, no defn- ite action was ever taken to suppress 1t until the run1Or became current that it was probable the submarine base would be removed by the navy department from it's location on the Thames unless the source of the nui- sance was eliminated. Then the au- thorities of GrOton and this city be- gan to get busy.
 The first step taken was the issu- ance of an order by Dr. Purdy, health officer of GrOton, to close the plant. County Health Officer Brown and Tuesday afternoon was set as the date for a hearing on the appeal. There were present Dr. Mcdowell, surgeon at the SuDInaflne base, LIT. Hur0y, Health Officer Dr. E. c. Chipman of New London, George s. GoIdie of Best View, F. Valentine Chappell, Dr. J. T. Black, MT. Shay and his attoF- neys, Brennan & Whittlesey.
 Testimony was given by physicians and others present that the plant in it's present method of operation is 8 nuisance and a menace to public health. Dr. Black believed, however, that by the introduction of certain new features, the conditions could be rem edied. MT. Shay agreed to carry out the suggestions at once.
 The suggestions of Dr. Black in- clude the introduction of modern ma chinery, an evapOrating system, by which business can be carried on with the windows shut, an air-washing sys- tenn and cement platforms to permit of daily washing.
 Whether these changes will bring about the desired result is a matter which time alone will demonstrate Fortunately the navy department does not contemplate transferring the sub marine base at the present time, so there will undoubtedly be ample op- portunity for the demonstration.
 The naval officer who visited the navy yard Tuesday were uniformly pleased with the site of the subma-

rine base. Admiral Grant expressed their attitude on the matter at the chamber of commerce luncheon at New London. He referred to the need of submarine bases along the Atlantic and said he had been favorably i'm pressed with the government site in New London. The naval men had come here withoqIt-an appropriation of any kind and did the best they could with the means at hand. If $500 900 were expended here and elsewhere for submarine bases 1t would be better and more economical than spending money for submarine tenders. At present 24 officers are at the navy yard base receiving instructions. Con- gress has made provision for 60 new submarines in the bill now likely to pass, and bases for these vessels will have to be found. No appropriation whatever had been made by the pres ent congress for submarine bases or tenders, and evidently that neglect was intentional, so that all the money possible could be devoted to building ships for the navy. Once the ships were built it was obvious that money would have to be appropriated to pro- vide suitable bases to care for them
 The strategic position of New Lon- don was admirable with an available outpost at Block Island. He hopes to see many submarines located here and 200 officers constantly under instruC- tion, which would mean also a large force of men.
 Admiral Grant then said he would call a spade a spade. The men at the base here were constantly assail- ed with foul smells from 8, rendering plant in that neighborhood, which made their lives unbeaTable at times. If the source of this foul smell was not removed, he would do his utmost to have the base removed from New London.
 Admiral Grant was assured by May or Rogers and President Miner of the New London Chamber Of Commerce, that the citizens Of New London would use every. effort to have the offending smell removed.
 George s. Palmer, who was intro duced by Mayor Rogers, acting as pre- siding officer. as the dean of New Lon don manufacturers, made an impas- stoned speech in which he lauded the high class personnel of the navy and said he saw in the men of the navy the highest hope for the future of the country. He promised that the noi- some stench of which the officers com plained would be replaced with the Odors of Araby in order that the sub marine base should be continued and developed to the fullest extent. MT. Palmer's words were loudly applauded
