possible advantages to be gained through annexation Statements Given Their statements: Peirce I am of the opinion that the possible desirability of annexing the new State Fair site to the City of Sacramento should be fully explored It is my intention to have this done There may be advantages to both the state and the city as a result of such annexation I believe it is desirable to determine all the facts and make a decision which will best serve the interests of the new fair With Favor Cavanaugh I look with favor on the proposal We are making a thorough check on ust what annexation would entail Although state property is exempt from taxation it would appear to us there would be considerable material benefits derived from annexation of the State Fair site Annexation Peirce further pointed out would give the fair property the advantage of city police and fire protection Peirce is the chief fiscal adviser to the fair 2000 feet upstream from the Carmichael water intake pipes Water district officials and their attorney Archie Hefner appeared at the board meet ing yesterday to protest the plan The supervisors agreed to postpone awarding bids pend' ing a 10 day notice to the irrigation district Points Cited Carmichael spokesmen base their opposition on these points supported by Stewart: 1 Even the best modern methods of treatment cannot eliminate detergent and urine taste or insure complete safety from virus and bacterial infection carried in the sewage 2 The plan could set a precedent for dumping treated sewage by other areas along the river The cumulative effect would pollute the river 3 The board of health and the state pollution board cannot act in these matters until after the damage is done Then extensive and costly litigation often is 'necessary to correct the situation 4 The best disposal method even though somewhat more expensive would be the pond system wherby the sewage would be filtered through open ponds into the ground Says Requirements Met Engineers who designed the proposed enlargement have said their plans meet all the requirements of the board of health and pollution board County Engineer Arthur Kiefer told the supervisors yesterday he is sure the dumping will not result in contamination of the river protest meeting is expected to be attended by water officials parent teacher association health committee members and
