Gentlemen: May I call your attention to the pressing urgency for completing the replacement of the Central Avenue collecting sewer at the earliest opportunity. The old line is composed of reinforced concrete pipe which.has undergone serious deterioration and which has resulted in numerous breaks within the last year or so. The disintegration, likewise, has resulted in the old line being sanded up so that its capacity is seriously reduced. As you know, the population which contributes to the system has increased tremendously due to the nearby military establish- ments. Likewise, it is probable that the families of defense workers, if not the plant.s themselves, have added materially to the overcrowding in the area. However, regardless of the cause, the condition exists and • is a serious sanitary problem which must b,e corrected at once and at all costs. Yours very truly, EDW. LEE RUSSELL, M. D.
