City Manager Worried About New Sewage Plant
Gallipolis Ohio city manager J Roy Bartlett told Kiwanis members at Farmers Hotel that the community may be forced to build a sewer system and sewage disposal plant due to the Ohio River Sanitary Pact Commission pollution concerns. He estimated costs up to 800000 with about a third from earnings and the rest via revenue bonds or real estate tax, warning bonds could be mandamused if rejected. Bartlett noted location on the former fair grounds could save about ten percent, and that about 21000 had been borrowed from the federal government for engineering services. plans by Bur ess and Nipple Columbus must be finished by January 1, 1952. The project proceeds slowly as involved agencies and zoning rulings are unsettled.
