In fact the fiat of the State Health
Department, incluencing our city
fathers, need not make us blush. /t
was an old Spanish custom for the
municipalities in the Sierra foothills
to run their sewage into the sparkHng Sierra streams. This custom is
wow going into the discard. i
‘We have been a bit touchy on this
ewbiject, just speaking personally.
When given a mess of trout, we have
asked the donors just where they
‘were caught. We have noted that the
fattest trout are caught just below
the sewage outlets. We had rather

As Mrs. Charles Scott Haley reamarked in her recent letter to ‘the
Nugget: “Surely a community
which seeks to establish iteelf as a
desirable esidential and resort area
eannot afford to offer its inhabitants
polluted water. Some day an epi-. :
demic of serious consequences might
result.’
Both a pure water supply and a
safe disposal of sewage are essential
to good public health. Naturally the
State Health Department to earn its
salt. must take an interest in these
two conditions of healthful living.
Had not.the war intervened the department would probably have compelled all. mountains to dispose of
the sewage in a. sanitary. manner
long since. Now with ‘the growth ‘of
population throughout the foothill
zone the imiprovement becomes imperative.
After all’ what right, morally \at
any rate, has any community to
dump sewage into a etream that supPlies drinking and irrigation water
to hundreds of families that happne

a legal right and our city counsil

way to give us a pure domestic supPly of water and a sanitary disposition of our sewage.
