Septic Tanks or Sewers; Cess-pools Prohibited With a single exception. Franklin is in Kood condition with reference to sanitation. That exception is. the open sewers and cess-pools in the town limits. These are in direct vio lation both of the laws of the state and of those of health Such was the statement Monday of John E. Floyd, of Asheville, dis trict sanitary inspector for the State ! Board of Health, who arrived here last lhursday, and nas Deen maiung an inspection of the town and invirons since that time. Cess-pools have been prohibited by the State law for a number of years, Mr. Floyd explained. They are re sponsible, he said, for the mosquitoes that have been prevalent here. There arc two ways by which the problem may be solved, he suggested: The individual property owners may build septic tanks, in accordance with the specifications outlined by the Board of health, under ; authority of tlie law; or the town may extend its sewer lines to take care of those property owners who, due to their having no sewers accessible, are using ess-pools. ' A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen, for the purpose of discus sing the matter with Mr. Floyd and with the) property owners affecter, was called for. Tuesday'night. City Tax Rate Cut The Board of Aldermen, at a meet ing on Monday night, cut the tax rate on town property from $1.50 on the $100 valuation to $1.40, a cut of 10 cents. The cut was made possible, it was said, by shaving a little expense off here, and a little somewhere else. This cut follows one of 60 cents a year ago, wnen tne rate was cm from $2.10 to $1.50.

MACON COUNTY JAIL CONDEMNED BY STATE SANITARY INSPECTOR "There is No Good Thing Yoh Can Truthfully Say About It," Says L. G.

UU1 I l.Ull19 lustrous Duco a motor worl j tor power and economy danced modern design in eve results in the extreme of sad ces, they embody the most 01 2 motor car value in the won a value that defies compariso Hog Sale Cancelled The county agent states that the hog sale scheduled for Otcober the 12th was cancelled for lack of co operation on the part of those who have hogs for sale. Only two or three were willing to bring their hogs to town and sell on a competitive basis, says the county agent. , Quite a few wanted a guaranteed price before of fering their hogs for market. Others wanted the, buyers to visit the farms and bid on the hogs. "It is obvious," says the county agent,, "that those who buys hogs in car lots have no time to visit : the farms." The Macon county jail Monday was condemned by L. G. Whitley, of Raleigh, penal institution inspector for the State Board of Health and the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. This action means that the county must either build a new jail, or use the jail of some other county; it would be a practical impossibility to so repair the present structure as to make it meet the requirements of the law, Inspctor Whitley said. The county commissioners will be notified in writing, immediately upon his return to Raleigh, the inspector stated, and will be given a reason able time in which to make arrange ments for the care of this county's prisoners. After that time has ex pired, the officials who lodges, or is responsible for lodging, a prisoner in the present jail will be subject to in dictment, Mr. Whitley said; and his remarks left little ground for doubt that warrrnts would be issued, should that prove necessary. Mr. Whitley Monday morning in spected the jail, and promptly posted the notice below on the door; , , "DISAPPROVED "Jail "Violations Sections 1, 2, 3, etc., Jail Rules and Regulations of State Board of Health, adopted by authority of Section 7713, Consolidated Statutes, and Chapter 163, Public Laws or 1925, and C. S. (Consolidated Statutes) 1388 "L. G. WHITLEY, State Sanitary Inspector. "Date: Oct. 10th, 1927." -' Mr. Whitley appeared to be at tempting to be carefully conservative in his statements about the jail's condition,' but when pressed by a re porter for a statement as to how it measupred up to the requirements, commented that: "There is no good thing you could truthfully say about it." He then pulled a pamphlet the Board of Health's rules and regu lations governing the Sanitary manage ment of county jails out of his pock et, and went over the requirements for the jail building itself. He check ed those requirements of, the law which the jail fails to meet, and when he had finished, he had checked five out of the six requirements relating to the structure. ' There are also regulations relating to sewage and waste disposal; sani tation and surroundings; beds, bed ding, and furniture; bathing; water supply; clothing; diet; prevention of contagious diseases; and physical rec ords. In practially all these matters, the jail fails to meet the require ments, the inspector said. The ways in which the building it self fails to meet the requirements of the law were indicated by Mr. Whit ley: It is not fire proof. It is not "free from any fire hazard and dangers." The heating arrangements are not such as to "keep the jail comfortably warm during cold weather." , It fails to measure up to the re quirement as " to . separate compart ments: "The building' shall be pro vided with sufficient compartments," the rules read," so the rac sexes, and youthful prisoners shall 'e sepa rated in their quarters; at ' ist five separate and distinct comr trnents" (otic for white men, one ,white women, one for negro ine;; on for negro women, and" one for children) "shall be provided." There k no isolation room for the sick. ," ' . It lacks "proper drainage facilities" so that the floors may be scrubbed, etc.. ' ' : Lighting is inadequate. Some of these deficiencies mjght be remedied, but Mr. Whitley pointed out that the requirement that there be "five separate and distinct compart ments" could not be met by the present building, for lack of room. There are only three compartments in the jail, and no room for others he i said. Those are the requirements the county jail fails to measure up to with reference to the building alone; and it fails to 'measure up to the law in most other respects, he said.'
