Will [Eliminat
Scares In Future
3-e P B . AT 5. e e .W A S
Athens’ recent momentary un
easiness over its water supply will
not be repeated when the new
waterworks plant is completed
and modern filtration wmachinery
is installed, City Engineer J. G.
Beacham said today. ‘
The new plant will be finished '
and ready for operation about
July 1, unless weather conditions
continue so bad that the work
will again be retarded. When the
new plant begins operation Ath- |
enians need not have any fearsl
about the purity of their water
supply. ’
As a matter of fact, ordinarily, |
the plant now in operation, whichi
was originally built 41 years ago,
gives the city a pure supply ufé
water without interruption hut |
due to recent rains conditions |
were created which prevented the!
water from reaching its usual
high standard. Consequently, iti
was thought best to inform the)
public that, while no harmful bac- |
teria. had been detected in the’
water, boiling it before drinking |
was recommended as a safeguard. |
However, there is no necessity for!
even that precaution at the pres-|
ent. |
Built 41 Years Ago ‘
The present filtration plant was
designed about 41 years ago, dur
ing the early period of develop
ment of rapid sand filtration in
the United States. Its design, ac
cording to engineers, was then|
undoubtedly in accordance with |
good praectice as known at that|
time. The major develupmemsl
and refinements in the science of|
water purification have tnken!
place, however, during the last ]o]
or 15 years. ;
Athens’ water supply is pump-|
ed from Sandy Creek into 'a large
reservoir which is adequate for |
storing a three months’ supply.
Due to the fact that the present
filtration machinery cannot turn|
out a first-class job of filtering
muddy water, the waterworks
pumps its supply from Sandy
Creek only when the water is
clear. It is then pumped into the
reserveir at Sandy Creek whero
it becomes even clearer and is
drawn upon by the filtration
plant. The supply at the reser
voir, however, got so low that it
became necessary to pump from
Sandy Creek during the recent
bad weather and the water in thei
creek was naturally muddy and)
thus more difficult to clean with
the existing machinery.
Increased Use ‘
Due to the increase in con- |
sumption of water in Athens, and
the inadequacy of the machinery
at the present plant, it was de
cided several months ago to build
a rew o waterworks. Engineers
stated that “viewed by the stand
ards of present day practice, the
plant (now in existence) is entire
ly inadequate to fproduce a fil

Williams Says He Found
No New Knowledge of
’
Redfern’s Safety
GEORGETOWN, British Guiana
— (A) — Art Williams, American
avaitor seeking' Paul Redfern in
the Brazilian jungle, insisted to
day that whatever befell Redfern
in his 1927 flight from Brunswick,
Ga., to Rio De Janeiro, it was still
a mystery,
Williams, the man who taught
Redfern ‘to fly, said of his' recent
aerial expediton into the interior,
where Redfern is believed by some
to have crashed and still to be
alive:
“We made a new contact with
ten new Indian villages and col
lected a great deal of information,
and the most that wag established
is that Redfern did not land in that
area.”
The aviator said most of the evi- -
dence he had collected consisted
of photographs, ‘'which he indicat
ed he had sent to the long-lost
Redfern’s father in the United
States.,
Harred's Story
Alfred Harred, a reporter, assert
ed in the Paramaribo newspaper
“Banier” yesterday that he and
Williams = had located Redfern,
crippled and held by Indians in -a
village in the Tumuc Humsae Modn
tains, on the boundaries between
British and Dutch Guianas and
Brazil.
Thig account, in which Harred
said the natives treated Redfern
well but would not permit him to
leave, was relayed by wireless to
the Daily Chronicle . here,
‘Williams, however, denied the
report, asserting: “I "do not know
Harred,. and .he. mast certainly did
not accompany me on my recent
search. 1 took two Djunkos (Suri
nam Bush Negroes) with me to
act as interpreters, and a red In
dian who had given us certain new
evidence. 3

Djunkos”learned that tribes further

Approximately 1:000 fans were
in the building from all towns in
this section of the state. Some
were from schools already elimi

still root for a team they -had

To obtain delegates necessary to
do this, he is campaigning against
the “old guard” policy of unin
structed delegations.
Late last month, he brought his
fight into one of the citadels of
the old line leadership, New York.
His campaign in New York is in
the hands of W. Kingsland Macy,
former state chairman and bitter
foe of the “old guard” which, as
usual, wants an uninstructed dele
gation.
The senator next turned to Ohio.
Here, again, he went directly
against the desires of the state
leadership, which also favors an
uninstructed delegation. ; -
