He was on his way from Ltncolnton when he watxforced to land, . said Mr. Barrlnger, When palice arrived at the wreck ed plan' the pilot waa-gone and it Is not known If he waa seriously in jured.

The quick descent of the airmen, who circled In the air twice as If searching for a place to land, was seen by many residents of eastern suburbs and much excitement resulted. a M'PHAUL STATES STAND ON SITE Health pfflcer Talks on Bar ' ringer Recommendation. Is Viewing Property t From Standpoint . of . Condition After Reclamation. Because of criticism and censure that has been directed toward him for his recommendation of the Bar-rlnger-Oallagher lands for the pro-i posed Elizabeth higlr school. Dr. WV A. McPhaul, city health officer, last night issued a statement giving his position on the question. flot because of Its present-condition, but because of its condition after reclamation was the recom mendation given, according to the health officer. "Certain persons who are bitter ly attacking my recommendation of the Barrlnger-Gallagher property are not looking Into the future and getting a glimpse of what that low land may. be made into," says Dr. McPhaul. "From what they say, one Is led to believe that the building Is going to be erected down In the hollow with a gangway leading' to It from Seventh street. As I said In my letter to the school board, I be lieve I knoMr something of modern methods of reclaiming such prop erty and I see no reason, from a public health standpoint, why the achool should not be built on that property. "Of course. It is not my place to say what the costs of reclaiming the property will be, but I do know that the place can be made Into a beautiful school site. It Is possible to completely cover that creek and within B0 years only the older citizens will be able to recall such a stream as Sugar Creek. "In my mind's eye "I can aee, after that place has been filled In and retaining walls built, a grassy lawn in front of the building, even with the sldowalk, and back in the rear a sunken garden with bloom ing flowers and winding pathways. The property can be made to link up with Independence park on the northeast corner and then from Elisabeth avenue to Hawthorne lane will be a veritable Oarden of Eden In Its beauty. "Many have scoffed at the rec ommendation because ' of mosquit oes and tadpoles In the creek. As I have said, the creek can be cover ed," but I know 'that there are plenty of places In backlogs and vacant spaces that breed just as many mosquitoes aa Sugar Creek, people are Uving beside the .creek and even an orphanage is within a stone's throw of the stream and the folks are not dying of malaHa and typhoid fever. "Sugar Creek Is more unsightly than it is unsanitary. It at tlmea emits more or less offensive odors, but the banks of the creek are steep and the water Is swift enough to prevent stagnation and aa a re sult prevent the breeding of mos quitoes, j ' "I . hav' heard that many per sons ' have 'asked t the question of how I, could (possibly recommend such a place for a school site.
