Todd of the dead fish found In South river, believ ed to have been caused by pollu of that stream, town council, meeting in regular semi-monthly session tonight, authorized City Manager I. O.

Vass to request sev eral reputable engineers to appear before council on Aug. 4 and out line plans and costs of a dispos al plant for this town. Joseph B. Yount local attorney, appeared before council in the interest of the dead "fish situation and asked that something be done. He mentioned the dis posal plant, which councilman have been discussing for some time and which prompted them to purch ase the George K.

Marion prop erty several months ago for site -of such a proposed plant. Mr. Yount said that he believed it was a necessity, that the cit, would approve of it," and that the county would give some help. -It was brought out that two of the industrial plants here du Pont and Crompton-Shenan jdoah both of which dump sew age and other waste into the stream had agreed to cooperate -vlth the town or other officials lin any way possible, such as the individual disposal Iplants or cooperating in -building townn's Text of Letter The following letter was pre Rented to council by Mr. Yount: Within the past month I have called out of town in the vicinity of Crimora' and Harriston I several times by citizens living along South river, to investigate -the dead fish in this stream caus by pollution.

To my utter it is unbelievable I without seeing for yourself the thousands of fish lying dead from -the effects of this pollution. As for the odor that speaks for lt-'self, simply drive down the East- lover at John N. Corner's mill and will be convinced. Sometime ago I presented a pe- tiolon to you city fathers, signed by residents and landowners llv-ing along this river protesting the city and various industrial plants dumping their sewerage and refuse into this stream, following which the George K. Marlon farm was purchased with Uhe view of using, at least a part it for a sewerage disposal plant and a garbage incinerator.

However, it has come to my attention that the city planning commission has recommended that this farm be used as a municipal golf course, notwithstanding foul smelling odors coming from the river and the smoke blanket settling over the farm from the city dump. The 'conditions created by the sewerage and the industrial waste pollution in South river is a serious detriment to the landowners along the stream. It is a menace to health, destroying the beauty of the stream and rendering the water dangerous for use to domestic animals, is an unwarranted invasion of, the property rights and is already both a public and a private nuisance and If not corrected by the town, in cooperation with the industrial plants, court action will inevitably follow, as there Is no other recourse for the protection of the rights of the landowners and citizens. As counsel for the petitioning landowners, I request that prompt and positive action be taken by the town in cooperation -with the industrial plants to eliminate and abate the nuisance created by dumping sewerage and Industrial wasteinto South river at Waynesboro, to the serious Infringement of the rights of the landowners and residents living along South river north of Waynesboro.
