POND
WORRYING CITY
Stagnant Water In West
End Annual Problem
For Commission

Mosquito paradise pond chose Tues
day, May 6, to make its annual bow
before the city commission. Paradise
pond Is located in or beside the old race
track in West End. not far from the
cemetery. 1t is described, annually, as
small pond Of collected and preserved
rain and spring water for which there
is NO drainage; that in it mosquitoes
breed In countless quadriIlions. furnish
ing an adequate and Immediately avail
able supply for the western part Of the
city.
Each time the pond comes up for
consideration some advocate of relief
by drainage looks upon the Alabama
Great Southern railway as the proper
means to the end. That the railway
passes within sight Of the pond was not
denied, but just why the railroad should
drain it was not explained.
City Attorney W. J. Wynn explained
to the commission that IN the case of
such nuisances the health authorities
have the power to have the land prop
erly drained and then send the bill to
the land owner. The question was re-
ferred TO Commissioner Mary Echols.
