_. NEVADA CITY: Frank Crampton, ebullient -government engineer and Piety Hill property owner, introduced a new and tantalizing factor into the Ronnigen
property site-sewage disposal ‘plant controversy. Crampton's factor was a mysterious “‘B.OD.”, which he defined, readily, as biological oxygen demand, in response
to a query from City Councilman Thomas H.: Taylor.

of exit and egress was a nearly
impassable road that was beating
their automobile to pieces.
Superintendent of Streéts Herbert S. Hallet stated that he
thought. the’ road could be rendered temporarily passable within a short time and without exorbitant cost. :
Harry F, (Si) Sofge, speaking
in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, asked for and received
permission to place a sign at the
Plaza, off the roads and between
the two bridges, stating that this
town was. Nevada City, together
with pertinent facts including the
altitude and population.
Frederick Bush, official weatherman and park caretaker, reported. that Seaman’s Hall was
attaining maximum.use. He suggested ‘that: fuel gas be installed
for the accommodation of organizations tsing the facilities of the
hall Bic
Crampton, in his interview
with the board, called attention
to the fact that he had been U.S.
government engineer. in sanitary
matters for United States installations in Central and South
America. He offered the council
full benefit of his experiences, in
designing the sewage disposal
plant.
Crampton maintained ~* that
there were grave errors in the ex+
isting plan, and stated that proper deference had not been paid
to the ultimately important. factor B.O.D. (Biological Oxygen
Demand). He also called attention to the variance between the
capacity of. the plant (to take
care of sewage for a city of
5,000) and the existing population
of about 3500. He predicted
three full time men would be required to operate the unit.
His comments were taken
under advisement by the council
members, who indicated that
their principal concern at present
was with the new possibility, de;mer at the Bret Harte Inn, «
