afternoon.

The county commissioners heard
a request from a delegation, headed
by Hugh MacRae, for relief from
the sewerage situation resulting
from two septic tanks located or
the extreme northeastern section of
Oleander.
The delegation pointed out that
the drainage from the tanks was
running through a big ditch into the
Forest Hills section and asked that
the sewerage question be eliminated
and the ditch be closed up.
Overflow from the tanks, the dele
cation explained, was constituting a
nuisance from the standpoint Of odor
and requested some relief in the
matter, either an extension of the
city sewerage line OF piping out OF
the overflow.
After a lengthy discussion of the
present situation from all possible
angles, the county board adopted a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee by the delega-
ton to obtain additional data about
the problem.
The committee, the resolution
stated, was asked to ascertain the
distance from the septic tanks to the
city sewerage line, whether or not
the city would approve extending a

Barden said he understood
also the marine corps was in

The War department said
although the coast artillery
project had been authorized,
no contracts had yet been

The department said the
