Dear SIR
Following my preliminary survey
of the sewerage conditions in Stark
vile, | deem it my duty to write you
relative to the matter.
AS you and the City Council are
well aware, conditions in Starkville
have gotten to a point where the
lack of an adequate sewerage sys-
tenn to remove to a suitable place
teh refuse from toilets, sinks and
bath tubs, are almost intolerable. At
the time of my visit / found numer-
GUS bitches in practically all of the
residence streets, receiving dis
charges from houses, consisting of
wash water and discharges from sep
tic tanks and cess pools. These
bitches were not functioning proper
ly and stagnant grossly polluted wat
er could be seen in most of them.
The majority of these bitches dis
charge into ditch which flows away
from the city. This ditch was clog
ged and at the edge of the city was
flooding over large area of land.
/ do not think it is necessary for
me to state the danger that lies in
such an unsanitary condition. These
bitches serve as excellent breeding
