W:— BADIN BULLETIN VOL. I APRIL, 1919 No. 7 OUR HONOR ROLL Our boys are being rapidly discharged from the military service of our country, and are returning to take their places the equally important fields of the trades, industries, and professions. So we present herewith a new Honor Roll, which hope our readers will help us to make and keep correct and complete.

What is bad housing? Any condition of housing that is unsafe or unsanitary, which tends to impair the phj'sical or moral health of the tenant, or which has a degrading effect on the community, is bad housing. Such conditions are found in the ex pensive but unsanitary flat as well as in the slums. It is accentuated, however, in the districts inhabited by the poorer classes; and the most common evil is the lack of water, drainage, and sewer age. Too often there is no pure water, the supply being obtained from cisterns or wells contaminated by soapsuds and dishwater, which form a scum on the ground, and seep thru the soil into the well.

The ma chine shop and store room were both here, but much smaller than at present. Pot room No. 22 was being excavateil, and Building 19, Temporary Rotary Sta tion, was being thrown together. The majority of the plant work before this time was of a general layout character. Of course, the steam shovels were mak ing the plantsite at that time. Where the plant stands was a series of hills and hollows. The steam shovels, under the supervision of Tom McMinnon, were working night and day making the place fit to build on. The big flat area back of Ebenezer Church owes its flatness to these hills moved off of the Plantsite, as it was at that time a hole in thtj
