Sewage Disposal
Racketeers Bring
Warning To Area
Local home owners whose res
idences are served by Individual
sewage disposal systems are
warned to be cautious In making
agreements with itinerant con
tractors for cleaning septic
tanks.
The health department recently
received complaints from rural
residents of "fly-by-nite" oper
ators tricking them Into paying
exhorbltant prices for cleaning
household sewage disposal faci
lities. It appears that some oper
ators mislead people into think
ing the price is $20.00 but when
the job is completed the operator
demands payment at the rate of
$20.00 per ton, and sometimes
charges moretonagethanthetank
will hold. In practically all cases
the complaints concern Itinerants
who quickly n ove on to another
locality before the word spreads
about their method of doingbusi
ness. V
' " guite frequently cleaning may
not be necessary. With normal
usage by the family an adequate
tank properly Installed should not
require attention for from seven
to ten years.
The Pasquotank-Perqulmans-Camden-Chowan
health district
and Currituck County requires
septic tank cleaners to secure a
permit from the health depart
ment to perform such operations.
This permit is on health depart
ment stationery and Is supposed
to be shown to the home owners
upon request. Some operators ad
vise the home owners they were
sent there by the local health de
partment. The health department
has no part in the solicitation of
business for septic tank cleaners,
and certainly cannot regulate the
prices. It may be wise for the
home owners having such ser
vices to secure the operators
name and the license number of
the truck, In case this Informa
tion may be needed later, accord
ing to K. J. Eyer, Sanitarian Su
pervisor, District HealthDepart-ment.

The objective of N.F.O. Is en.
tlrely marketing of agriculture
products. N. F.O. has no other
function except to attempt to get
higher prices for It's members
products. To be a member, the
person must be a farmeror land
owner. The method used In
marketing is collective bargain
ing. Many farmers have felt for
some time that they have not
received a fair share of the con.
sumers dollar. Through farm
organization with strong partlca
patlon by members it Is felt that
marketing situations can be
strengthened so that farmers can
receive more benefits for their
goods and services.
