Joe Lanier ' ' son or a dp* If you live in Warsaw, you get some good news and some bad news. The good news ? you are thoiowners of a new sewer plant. Assuming the thing is working as prescribed, the waste discharged into Stewart Creek is cleaner than clean. The Environmental Protection Agency said Warsaw needed this new two-million-dollar plant because the old plant was not large enough to treat all the discharge flowing through the sewer lines to the plant. . .Now for some of the bad news. . .Two million gallons of t waste went through this52 million_plant one day last week. I It seems much of the storm drainage in Warsaw is tied into the sewer lines. During this enormous rainfall over the past several days, the new plant has been overflowing. . .over-working, and not sufficiently treating the discharge. It makes one wonder if perhaps the problem was attacked at the wrong place. . .Maybe if the inflow of water other than sewer had been stopped, the old plant would have been fine with a little remodification. . .Some more bad news. . .The new plant, under regulations of the Federal government, saysthe plant must maintain-itself. . .That is to sav, the charges for sewer users in the town of Warsaw, shall. . .not will but shall. . .be sufficient to keep the plant up and repay the debt. . .One minor detail of keeping up this plant is the employment of two workers at the plant ? or so the powers-to-be say. . .1, personally, think that to be debatable. . .But, as 1 do not control employment in the town of Warsaw. . .(Come to think of it, I don't think anyone does. . .Everybody hires). . .But back to this minor ? portion of the new $2 million sewer plant, the salary of the two people who will be running it will cost each water sewer user one dollar each month. . .This is just the beginning. . .The electrical use will be more than that. . I .Estimates on what Warsaw sewer bills will be increased to come June (budget time) is frightening. .. ***** I won the bet last week. During the lunch recess of the county commissioners meeting, 1 and four others entered into a small bet about the hiring of a new tax collector. . .Four folks said the commissioners would not hire a new tax collector. 1 jokingly said. "It makes no sense that they do. . .So. 1 bet they do." Sure enough, that afternoon, they picked a former county employee, Norman Sandlin, as the new tax collector. . .If it wasn't for the fact they were spending tax money, it wou'd really be fun watching this crew try and work around the obvious. . .Oh yes, the bet?. .1 get four ham biscuits. I hope I can get that bunch to buy them one at a time. . Too many calories at one sitting blocks one's vision downward. . . ***** A fellow told me awhile back that if he had had>S10 one night in his college days, he would probably now be a minister, and a rich one at that. . .One night while in college, a friend came irto the dorm and said, let's go over to the women's college and see some girls. . .This friend said, I have the car and what we need is some money for gas. . .Well, the fellow I was talking to had no money at that time. However, this other young man did have SIO. . .So the young man with the car and the young man with the $10 left for the females' housing. . .As things progressed that night in the female dorm, the two young men got caught in a most precarious situation. . .Back in those days, rules were rules, and were meapt to be obeyed. . .So, the two fellows were expelled from the college. The fellow with the $10 was caught with a pretty young thing whose father was well-off financially ? speaking, and had strong religious beliefs. . .So with persuasion from first one and another, the young fellow#' ; * after being expelled from college, where he was to b? a lawyer, enrolled in another college to become a preacher. . .ThiAfellow I was 'alking to said, "You see. if 1 had had $10 that night. I would have gone rather than this fellow, and 1 would be a preacher today rather than a lawyer."... Son-of-a-Gun. . .
