Mr. Wm. F. Franck, President of Sale <br /> <br /> <br />Knitting Company, appeared before Council and explained this situation which <br /> <br /> <br />has been under study by his firm and by City officials for quite some time, <br /> <br /> <br />concluding that the problem can be almost eliminated with the replacement of <br /> <br /> <br />the proposed Askin Street sewer line, which is scheduled for construction <br /> <br /> <br />during the 1964-65 fiscal year. Dr. Charles J. Mathes, Health Director, <br /> <br />informed Council that the condition poses no health menace but probably could <br /> <br />be corrected by introduction of a masking agent to the dye process; however, <br /> <br />this was considered as being prohibitive in cost by Sale Knitting Company. <br /> <br />...- <br />
