and Mr. Johns of The Iiealth Dept.
The City Clerk reported that 24r. Gillespie and Mr Borden
The City Engineers that viewed the canal reported that in their
opinion and without making an annalisis that the cause of the
odors were several, first rotten vegistation, second drainage
from Hotel Septic Tanks and Waste raters from Laundry. They
reccomended that the C nal either be cleaned and deepened to
a good tidal flow or filled up to where the tide changed the
water with every tidal change.
Mr. Rmory of the State Road Dept, reported that the State Right
of way only went to the edge of the canal and they had no intrest
in the canal but would be willing to cooperate in any way they
could to remedy the puissance. Mr.Neville Suggested that in
Building the peach Road that the Road Dept. deepen the Canal
and use the material for fill for the road bed, Mr. Emory stated
that the plans had not been developed to that stage yet but this
might be done. but it would be after the war before the plans
and engineering work would be completed.
Mr. E.C.Edge of the East marsh Drainage District reported
that he thought that the canal was under the jusdriction of the
East Marsh drainage district. and that they would not consents
to having the .canal deepened as it would cause the salt to
filter into the farming land Besides it was their intentions
to cdnstruct a dam in the canal to keep the salt water out.
He stated that in his opinion the proper thing to do would be
to fill the canal leaving a ditch for drainage pupposes, he
also stated that the drainage board would not consent to a
drainage tile being placed in the canal that it would have to
have an open ditch for drainage purposes.
Mr. Johns of the Health Dept. reported that in his opinion
the odors was caused from the laundry waste being dumped in
the canal and to remedy the trouble th lwabte line from the
laundry should be extended to where there was a good tidal
flow or close the laundry. He stated that there was no danger
of a diease spread from this condition due to the Lyes and
cleaning fluids milling the germs.
Mr. Neville suggested that the canal be filled to the bottom
of the drainage board ditches which would remedy the trouble
and also leave an outlet for the surplus water from the
farms. Mr. Neville aggreed to have Mr.Davis, the County
Engineer, to view the Canal and give the City an Estimate
of the Aproximate cost of filling and the amount of material
Required.
Mayor Kelly appointed Councilman Ryan and Nr Neville as a
Committee to N:eet with Mr.Davis and work out a Plan to
