Of bicycles on the streets, Chief

cidents because of the lack of

lists to follow regulations regard
ing new traffic lights whereby
right-hand turns can be made on
either red or green lights. Most
streets have lane markers COM

ing painted where necessary.

Must Complete Sewerage Tie ms
For Full 0kay OF Beach Waters

Blanket approval of the use
of beach front waters for recrea-
tional purposes cannot be given
until all houses fronting on the
beach are connected with the
city sewerage system. although
the waters generally may be con.
sidered satisfactory for bathing.
engineering for the State Board
of Health, said In a letter to
H. A. Kroeze, director OF sanitary
Mayor John r. Watts this week.
Although the major source OF
pollution of the waters has been
removed, Mr.. Kroeze said, pollu-
ton exists in certain areas due to
the discharge of sewage from
houses not connected with the
sewerage system.
The former major source Of
pollution was from a drainage
canal which carried raw sewage
from the Maritime Housing Prof.
ect into the sound waters. This
was eliminated when a new sew
erage line was installed which
carried this sewage to the dis
posal plant.
Letter In Full
Following my visit to Pasca-
goula on March 20 I wish to state
that, with reference to the condi-
ton on the beach fronting Pas
cagoula, | am of the opinion that
generally these waters may be
considered satisfactory for bath
ing, but the State Board of Health
could not give blanket approval
at this time to the use of these
waters along the entire front for
recreational purposes. The major
sources Of pollution entering the
beach waters have been removed.
However, there are some houses
fronting the beach which have not
yet been connected TO the sewer
age system and sewage from thes
houses still enters the beach wa
tiers. In view Of this condition.
ii is known that pollution still
ssxisis sn-eastain areas. and until
all sources OF human pollution
now entering the beach front have
been removed we could not
consider these waters in their en-
tirely as satisfactory for reerea-
tional purposes.
Il believe for the good of the
community it would be advisable
to invoke the municipal ordi-
nance relating to sewer connec-
tions so as to complete the con-
nection Of homes along the beach
front to the municipal sewerage
system, thereby removing all di-
rect sources of human pollution
to the beach front waters. 1t is
our opinion that when this is
done these waters throughout the
beach front will be satisfactory
for reereational purposes
