Plight Of $50
FAMILIES Now
Even Worse
Land They Bought
Too Low

Plight OF the $50 families who
were evicted last week from their
tent homes near the bomber plant
was increased today with the an
nouncement by Dr.. Otto X. Engelke,
Washtenaw County Health Depart.
ment head, that many lots they
have purchased in NEARBY areas are
too low for proper drainage
A number os persons driven from
their former parking spot pur-
chased land south and west OF the
plant between Jacksonville and Np-
silsnti where the water level is
within six inches Of the top OF the
ground.
Before building permits are
granted by Ypsilanti Township, the
land is supposed to be checked to
insure proper sewage disposal ia
cilities, Dr. Engelke points out. He
warns that new residents should
check with authorities first regard
ing the drainage and that the coun.
ty health department stan is OFFER
ing its services.
About ten cases have already
been brought to the attention Of
the health department and the land
has been found so low that neither
privies nor a septic tank could be
erected without causing pollution
to wells nearby.
The drastic action by the depart
ment in forbidding the erection of
homes on the land is taken, accord
ing to DR.. Engelke. to prevent an
epidemic of perhaps more marked
proportions than the dysentery cpl
demic which swept the tented area.
