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. (Editor's Note: Thomas H. Taylor by the city council to fill the seat wecaihas appointed se the resighas moved to another city.

Seaman farther down the stream had arisen and was “being thoroughly investigated. ©The implicatién was that it was the ‘desire: of ‘the council. to take maximum: precautions against the possibility. of: any present or future nuisance being created. : Thomas Kelly, retired actor -nd resident of the disputed Jordan street area, was spokesman. ‘ow the first Piety Hill delega‘ion. He had read a textbook on sewage disposal plants. i Kelly sfid that the stringency %f disinfection to be carried out versonally by the superintendent of" the sewage plant required well-nigh super-human precau-. tion. He also indicated that he, ‘mn a personal exploration tour had located several excellent sites for the sewage disposal plant further down the > stream, \ about 1000 yards. Tia. Two residents of ‘the aréA be tween Long Street and Lower -Sacramento street, appeared and 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, « that a new ‘development which . might mean location of the plant. i Grase . over the meeting.county chambe George C. +Hansén,”: the Névada City Charibe been‘ named temporary: ¢ of the Siérra-Nevada ‘Cou Chamber of Comnietce, formally) ~ inaugurated at last. night’s meet-;ing at Bret ‘Harte Inn, = = Hansen, ‘as chairman, will be’ supported ‘by two ‘vice-chairmen, Arthur B.
