BLAMED
FOR POLLUTION
PreSt-o-Lite Pouring Acid
Into Eagle Creek,
State Charges.

Two picking watts diScharging
acids into Eagle Greek were blamed
this afternoon for pollution of the
stream in a letter sent by w. II.
Frazier, executive engineer of the
state department of commerce and
industry, to officials of the Presto
Lite Co, Inc, Speedway City.
MIR. Frazier's letter to Laurence
Oliphant, general superintendent,
related how, after numerous tests
and a thorough inspection of the
Prest-o-Lite plant, it was discov-
cred that waste acids from the watts
have polluted the creek, killing fish
and endangering the lives of swim
merS who bootleg a dive in the
streams unregulated pools.
Mr.. Frazier said tests showed that
acid content of the stream reached
as high as 1900 parts million.
He said plant officials have as
sured him that the emptying of
acids into the creek would cease and
that efforts would be made to dis
pose of the wastes properly.
Plant officials were said to have
believed that a two-inch water main
used in conjunction with the spill
ways emptying the acids sufficed to
dilute the acids, Mr.. Frazier said.
Five other industries along the
creek we're tested in tracing the
pollution source. Mr. Frazier said.

The negotiations, if opened, would

WORLD SERIES Will
START AT DETROIT
Oct. 2 Is Set as Date by
Car Lands.
By United Press


CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE World
Series will open Wednesday, Oct. 2
probably at Detroit, and will be
played without any lay-offs for
travelling time unless the New York
Yankees win the American League
pennant, Commissioner Kenesaw M.
Lands announced today.
1t had been expected that the
series would open in the National
League winners city this year as
the American League had that
honor last year when the Tigers met
the Cardinals.
Judge Lands said that, although
under the custom the series would
open in the National League city,
the change was made because the
st. Louis Cardinals management
exp aimed a convention in St. Louis
might cause shortage of accom-
modations.
The Chicago Cubs. leading the
National League, wanted the series
to open in Chicago in the event they
participate, but agreed to abide by
st. Louis request for the sake of
uniformity.
