Work To Start
Next Month On
Menhaden Plant

Construction work will start
next month on the new menhad-
en- fish plant to be established
at Moss Point by the Standard
Products Company of Whitestone,
Va, w. NJ. Dutton, manager of
the Mississippi Export Railroad,
said this week following his re-
turn from a conference with the
company.
The plant is to be built on
the North side of the Escatawpa
river, about one-half mile east
of the Mississippi Export bridge,
within the city limits of Moss
Point.
In a letter to Mayor Gregory
Wood of Moss Point, H. R. Hum
phreys, president of the COM
pany, pointed out that the new
plant will be free from obnox-
ious odors. This is accomplished
through deordorizers that elimi-
nate smoke from the dryers.
Nozzle injectors also eliminate
grease, and nothing objection-
able is discharged into the wa

The company will furnish en-

Comfy Street VIII
Be Opened To
Traffic Next Week

The paving of Canty street
from Dupont to Delmas avenue
has been virtually completed and
the street will probably be OPEN
ed to tarffic next week, Mayor
John r. Watts said Wednesday.
Although the street paving will
be completed shortly, it will be
several weeks before work starts
on the sidewalks, Mayor Watts
said. This will be caused by the
necessity of letting the concrete
completely harden before heavy
machinery necessary in LAYING
the sidewalks is allowed on it.

A complaint filed by Mayor
John R. Watts with the Navy
Department and backed up by
a report of the state sanitary
engineer, charges that the entire
sewage disposal system of Pas
cagoula is being overloaded and
threatened with destruction by
sand, trash and surface waters
entering the system through inn
properly constructed sewer lines
in the FPHA housing project.
The Mayors original complaint,
filed many months ago, has re-
Gently been upheld bv the study

port recommending that the prop
err government agency undertake
to repair and correct the faulty
sewer construction.
The assistant chief of bureau
Of the NAVY Department at first
rejected the city's complaint,
following a study of the files, as
setting that the findings do not
evidence serious deficiencies in
the basic design and develop
ment of the subject project"
Charges Pressed
This letter was received by
the CITY last September T.. Since
then, the Mavor pressed the
charges, appealing to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, and enlist
ing the support OF Representa-
tive Colmer and Senator East
land The study by the state sam
itary engineering was also I'M
dertaken to provide further evil
dence in support of the city's
charges and petition for GORGE
tive measures.
The Mayors original charge
was filed july 30 with Secre-
tary of the Navy Forrestal. One
of the Mayors complaints re-
ferred to the big drainage ditch
in the housing project, parallel
to Market street, which has a
cross-section area of approxi-
mately 480 square feet, anu
which drains a system of bitches
and oulverts figuring a total a
pacitv flow of over 100 square
feet. The mayor charged that
the two Navy inspection officers
for the project permitted two
small galvanized culverts figur-
ing a total capacity of only 10
square feet to be built into
the Lincoln and Market street
bridges owe the ditch. The speci-
tications called for double con-
crete box eulverts at each bridge,
seven feet high and five feet,
eight inches wide on each side.
The smaller culverts have Gre
ated a serious bottleneck.
The Mayor also charged that
the joints of sewer pipes in the
Eastlawn area were not properly
sealed, causing sand to flow into
the sewer system, filling up
some of the lines, and damaging
sewer pumps. Several other conn
plants were contained in the re-
port.
The MAYORS report charged
Lieutenant w. j. Fox and Com
mander Edward d. Graffin with
"incompetency or neglect OF dti-
ty' in accepting this faulty
work from the contractors.

that the last Allied troops will

City Schools Enrolment Report Given Registration In
 Grades Increased
 By 4S Pupils
Euerv Day Is Result Day On Democrat WantAd Page

Registration in public elementary and high schools on the opening day, Sept. 4, totaled 11,958, an in- crease of 12 over last year, accord ing to report made by Dr. John G. Gilmartin, superintendent of schools, at a meeting of the Board of Education last night.
 The school official predicted, how ever, that the planned check-up Oct. l will reveal "a somewhat greater entoT1nent."
 Grade school enrolment totaled 8,527, compared to 8,479 in 1945. while the high school total was set at 3,431, compared to 3,467 last year. The increase fG grade schools is 48, and the decrease for high schools is 36.
 Hhe breakdown for the high schools was given as follows: Crosby 1,412, an increase of Il; Leaven- worth 1,040, a decrease of 43; and Wilby, 979, a decrease of GA.
 Dr. Gilmartin said there was a decrease of 211 in the Freshman classes The Freshman loss at Will by was 112; at Leavenworth, 84 and at Crosby IS.
 Increases in grammar schools were computed as follows: Walsh 78; Bishop, 39; Sprague, 28; and Wilson 26. Decreases were given as follows: Slocum, 104; Chase, 33; Driggs, 33; and Duggan, 29.
 It was pointed out that Slocum School still has the highest elemen- tary registration of 688. The loss at that school was reported to be the result of pupils from Irion, Locust and Walnut Streets in October to relieve the congestion there.
