Filer Sanitary Conditions
Filer's sanitary condition as re
gards sewuge conveniences is in a de
plorable shape and condemnation pro
ceedings will be brought immediately
unless some step» are taken soon to
alleviate such conditions, says Dep
uty Inspector Bert Barr of the Idaho
Welfare Commission, who made an
Inspection of Filer yesterday.
Deputy Barr was here Inspecting
sanitary conditions of the city. Its
restaurants, hotels, soda fountains,
theaters, barber shops, butcher shops
and grocery stores.
"I found most of your business
houses In excellent shape," said Mr
Barr yesterday. "You have two of
'he finest, best equipped butcher
shops and slaughter houses in tUe
whole state," he continued
Mr. Barr said tliat he would re
turn a week from today to see
oenfaln suggestions be maciq
been complied with.
It Is his opinion that adequate
sewers can be constructed with s
bond issue of $20,000. Condition» sim
ilar to those existing hero were found
j at Rexburg, and they are Issuing
bonde at that town for $18,000 to pro
vide the essential sewage system.
The village board, consisting of
Charles McCleary, mayor; A. O. Mad
land. Lester Musse r, E. B Ripley
and A. E. Anderson, have considered
I sewer construction in all of its phases
ever since they assumed office. The
problem is not a new one, nor has It
failed to receive their utmost consld
erat j on („ we n realized by both
tbe board and local residents that the
problem is acute and deserving of Im
mediate attention. John Penny, clerk
, of the village, said yesterday, that
sewer construction is admittedly the
next move to be made here und that
the board has always considered sew
era more essential than paving.
"Our problem Is not, shall we have
a sewer system," said Mr
"but whether It will be feasable to
construct a septic^ tank, or a sewer
