OF Clarksburg

CLARKSBURG. w. Va, July
16.--Is your sewer blocked?
Sniff the night air then, and
you'll find a nice hootch factory

burg sewers were being blocked
by raisins and corn from local
home brew stills.
Mr.. McClain's discovery of the
increase in the number of uncon-
ventional distilleries was made in
a unique manner. For weeks the
city street department has been
flooded with complaints concern
ing blocked sewers in various
neighborhoods.
Mr.. McClain has investigated
some Of the sewers in question
and has discovered that the fruits
Of prohibition are blocked sewers.
In the last few DAYS the street
SUPERINTENDENT has found nearly
four bushels Of cracked corn in
one sewer. and a big batch Of
cast-off raisins in two other
. blocked sewers. He hasn't invcs-
tiQated all the complaints vet.
