OF War Date
July 25, l947
Especial to The Citizen


TALLAHASSEE, Aug. 49,
The termination date of the war
under the program of readjuSt-
ment allowances for both unem-
ployed and self-employed vet
|erans has been declared July rs,
l947, as result of congressional
action, Carl B. Smith, Chairman
of the Florida Industrial Commits
sion, said today.
Congress has substituted the
date of July Is, l947, for the
words termination of the war"
as they appear in Title V of the
Serviceman's REIMBURSEMENT Act.
This means that World War III
veterans of Florida who were dis
charged prior to July rs, 1947,
will have until July Is, l949, to
draw their allowances. Veterans
discharged after July rs. l947,
will have two years from the date
of discharge to draw.
Many veterans now have rights
under both the Serviceman's Re-
adjustment Act of 1914 and the
Florida Unemployment Compen-
Sation Law, Mr.. Smith said. He
pointed out that from now on
it will become increasingly inn
portant for veterans who become
unemployed to consider the ex-
piration date of their rights UNI
der both programs. if they are
to be assured of maximum pro-
lection under the two systems.
Both new types of claims are
filed through the local office of
the Florida State Employment
Service and the personnel OF the
offices will explain the difference
with respect to the amount pay
able, duration, and expiration
rights. The veteran may then
elect the law under which he de-
sireS to file his claim.

City May Connect
Disposal Plant And
SeaLine By Gravity
PRESENT PUMP CAN'T'
HANDLE LOAD; CRAV.
TTY LINE CAN ELIMIN-
ATE BYPASSINC

City Manager o. j. S. Ellingson
said today that the city is serious
ly considering constructing a
gravity line from its Fort Taylor
disposal plant primary tank to
the "outfall line" which runs into
the sea.
The gravity line would COM
plement. il not eliminate the
need for. the present $4,000
gallon pump which now pumps
sewage from the disposal plant.
The gravity line is needed, the
city manager explained, so that
the city will not have to use the
"by-passing" direct from the in
coming sewer main to the outfall
line during emergency periods of
heavy usage. Use of the bypass
line by which raw sewage is run
directly into the outfall line has
brought criticism from naval in
spcctOrs who have found too
heavy a pollution of waters at the
end OF the "outfall line" The lat
ter runs some 1900 feet out to
sea. Ellingson said.
The reason for the use of the
bypass line, the city manager
added, Is that the $50, 000-gallon
cffluent pump cannot keep up
with the burden in emergency pc
RODS. The city has a 1000, 600
gallon and 650,000-gallon pump
at Fort Taylor for pumping sew
age into the disposal plant. On
some occasions il is necessary to
use both pumps combined to take
care of the "infiltration" of storm
water or tides. (All figures are
gallons per hour.)
Hence. more than a million aaI-
Ions may be pumped into the dis
possl plant but only $4,000 gal
Ions can be pumped up and out.
This forces the bypass line into
use and raw sewage is shot di-
rectly into the outfall line through
II. Use of gravity line would
allow all sewage To be trapped bv
The disposal plant before being al
lowed TO enter the sea.
Construction is expected to he
less expensive than purchase of
another pump.
