HUNT Milwaukee Cagey Milwaukee officials paint a gloomy picture of their venture into the commercial fertilizer business. They claim they lost 5353,000 last year in producing the popular Milorganite, made from the sludge of the municipal sewage disposal plant. But they produced no figures to substantiate their claims.

After a day spent in a detailed inspection of the Milorganite Carl F. Williams Funeral services for Carl F. Williams, 60-year-old machinist ices will be held at 10 a.m. Monday in the G. H.

Drayer said the Milwaukee officials appeared to view Indianapolis as a potential and unwelcome competitor in a highly profitable business where they now enjoy a virtual monopoly. "If the business is as bad as they maintain, why do they stay in it?" Drayer queried as he attempted to analyze reports that threw no light whatever on actual conditions. "It is obvious we will get no help here." RAYMOND D. LEA chief engineer and general manager of the Sewerage Commission of Milwaukee, said the expense of manufacturing Milorganite was $2,353,000 last year while the returns "in round figures" were $2,000,000. Leary and his subordinates in his frH' 2042 shook their heads sadly as they discussed their problems and advised Drayer to have nothing to do witn the fertilizer business.

In response to questions as to how much it would cost to dispose of Milwaukee's sewage without the valuable by-product, Leary shook his head and wiped liis eyes. He had nothing to say except that it was a fearful problem. The same mournful attitude prevailed as Prayer was shown through the Milorganite plant with a careful detour of the shipping department. Although apparently eager to be done with it all, Leary was critical of competing fertilizers put out by Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, none of them on a scale that can challenge Milorganite.
