protect towns down stream against
possible typhoid infection.

tion by City Commissioner w. H.

provements, seconded by City Com
missioner II. f. Bowman, superinten-
dent of Public Safety, Council unani-
mously agreed to discontinue the tenn
porary disposal plants on the river
front and Paxton creek interceptors.
Heavy expense combined with the
belief that the typhoid outbreak is
thoroughly under control, that the
sewage is properly treated in the
homes of sufferers under instruction of
the city health department, and that
the river is open to pollution from
drainage of towns upstream 'were the
reasons advanced by Mr.. Lynch for
asking Councils support in refusing
to comply with State Health Commits

Heavy Expense
Mr.. Lynch explained that the tenn
porary plants have cost $2,10S.92 in
little more than q months operation.
Council had only appropriated $4,000.
