Trouble arose Monday over dead fish found in Massies Creek following the heavy rain fall Saturday evening, a rain that washed much erosive soil and filth into all streams. As the Hagar Strew Beard & Paper Co. has always in the past drawn o ff water from the reservoirs during a full flow o f water in the channel, the same was don# Saturday evening following the rapid rise in Massies Creek, Again had not the water been drawn from one reservoir it would have over-flow­ ed the banks, washed out the embank­ ments and swept the entire valley. The finding o f hundreds o f fish in the lower valley on the banks brought out the charge that the company was responsible for the loss, E, P . Stroup. Green# County game protector, claim­ ed the fish had been smothered by a fibrous substance in. the gills. He a t once called the a ta$ board o f health to investigate as well as the conser­ vation commission. The Hagar Company has fo r many yeara given its plant over to state: o f­ ficials fo r experimental purposes in an effort to solve the problem o f stream pollution. The company has-' expended many thousand dollars t o . meet all .demands o f the state and officials o f other states have frequent- : ly visited the mljl and Alteration sys­ tem to see what had been accomplish- ed. The company has also been subject to fines in the past and on one 'Oc­ casion paid a '$1,000 fine. Later the same kind o f trouble appeared a nd it was found by state officials that sew­ erage from Wilberforce was Die causa The paper mill had been closed down and no water was going into the creek That the plant has hot always been-’ at fault dead fish have been found-up stream even east o f town following such storms as last Saturday. It is explained, that surface conditions have - much to do with what follows. I f the so il-fo r any great distance is under cultivation and little grass near the creek to filter the surface water, then all Sorts o f fibrous matter is washed into the creek. P i p i n g hot weather the warm water following p heavy tain has been .known to smother fish, Wednesday Mr, Hatch ’o f the State Board o f Health and Mr, Hardy o f the Conservation Department made a Sur­ vey o f the stream and examined nu­ merous samples o f dead fish. Samples o f matter along the creek bank were examined and no pollution could be found, it is claimed. Moreover no dead fish were found under five miles west o f the plant. The reservoir had been opened when ' the channel was full to the banks and this was in compliance with orders o f the past from the State Board o f ' Health. The gates were d t ed Sun­ day evening. The water had. receeded but the channel was still at fuU flow. The state authorities according to reports found a situation similar a t Circleville, where fish -were found in great numbers dead. The paper mill in that city has beep'closed downi fo r six weeks and it is said to have been closed down indefinitely owing to bus­ iness conditions. x e n i a m a n d r o w n e d in r i v e r John Butler, Xenia, Was drowned in .he Little Miami river Saturday even­ ing following tho rapid rise o f the riv or after a hard ,rain.

NEW ELECTRICAL SHOP OPENED BY DAVID ROBINSON Greene county will get its share o f the recently enacted utility excise tax fo r poor relief whether the county is­ sues bonds or not, Prosecutor. Callister has received such an opir from Attorney General Bettman. many counties the commissioners are issuing bonds for poor relief, to be paid later by this tax. In view that some utility company may bring suit and attempt ttf stop payment o f the tax, the propery owners o f the county would then be forced to pay the bonds. Under this opinion Greene county is to get its share o f the tax whether bonds are issued or not. In case poor relief is not necessary the money can go into the interest and sinking fund. Here is where the utility' tax may W tested out. The law provide* thi# tax for poor relief while Bettman Jttgw it may be used to retire other t $8fa .
