LYNCHBURG, Va, June 5—The funeral of Mrs. Carter Glass, wife of the senior Senator, who died at 8:45 a.m. today, will be held at 10 a.m. Mon- | day from Montview Farms, near | Lynchburg, where she spent the last| years of her life. Burial will be in| Spring Hill Cemetery here. She was Miss Aurelia McDearmon Caldwell, daughter of the late John | Archer and Mary Constance Harris Caldwell of Lynchburg. Her ancestors | were among the early settlers of | Lynchburg and Campbell County. At the time of her marriage to Sen- ator Glass on January 12, 1886, she ‘was & member of Westminster Presby- terian Church here. Later she went to Court Street Methedist Church with ber husband, where she retained her church affliations for the rest of her life. Active in Church Work. Mrs. Glass nevertheless was active in | MRS. AURELIA GLASS. surgeon general based the contention that a secondary biological treatment extension may be required. His re- port was submitted to Arno B. Cam- ning tomorrow in the auditorium of merer, director of the National Park Service, and will be transmitted to | ¢he work of Quaker Memorial Presby- terian Church, as it afterward became when the Quakers had gone. She was greatly interested in the restoration of this historic church. Besides Senator Glass she is survived by two sons, Powell Glass and Carter Glass, jr., who with their father, are publishers of the News and Daily Ad- vance; two daughters, Mrs. John G. Boatwright of Danville, and Mrs. | Isaac Watlington Digges of New York | City, and seven grandchildren. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. W. R. Per- row and Mrs. J. M. Boze, and a brother, | William C. Caldwell, all of Lynchburg. | Mrs. Glass was educated in Lynch- burg public schools, graduating when | ghe was very young. She taught for several years before her marriage. She Was a Rose Fancier. | Except the time of her Washington | residence with Senator Glass Mrs. | Glass spent her days in Lynchburg. | Por many years Senator and Mrs. | Glass divided their time between their | town house on Clay street and Mont- view Farms. In recent years, they| have resided at the farm altogether. | Mrs. Glass was especially interested | in growing of roses, spending many of | her leisure hours in their cultivation. | She was a member of the Lynchburg | Woman's Club and of the Lynchburg Garden Club until i1l health prevented her active participation. Slaughter House (Continued From First Page.) Gobel slaughter house should the pro- posed plant operate at or near planned eapacity. This extension would be necessary, Dr. Parran said, “to prevent obnoxious conditions in the Potomac River.” The warning came in the form of an official report from the surgeon general as District leaders in Con- gress were working out details of a tax revenue program to meet an antici- pated $7.000,000 deficit for the District during the coming flscal year. The secondary system for biological treat- ment to which Dr. Parran referred ‘was rejected flatly by the Commis- sioners in borrowing funds from the P. W. A. to construct the existing pri- mary plant, because it would bring the total to & prohibitive cost of $7,900,000. Based on Analytical Study. Dr. Parran's report was based on | an analytical study of the Gobel Co. plans for its Benning packing plant and stock-yard operations. It | went more fully into details of sewage | and pollution than a previous report gubmitted by a Public Health Service sanitary engineer at recent hearings on the King anti-nuisance bill It brought up also the question of | & study of Potomac River water and | In this connection the report said: | “If this (Gobel) plant should be con- | structed and operated at or near ca- pacity, it will be necessary that a study be made of the Potomac River in the wieinity of the sewer outfall to deter- | mine the exact effect of the additional | pollution, particularly during low wa- | ter periods, and to provide the neces- | sary data upon which extension to the present sewage disposal plant may be Dr. Parran also warned: “Care also would have to be exercised in this ‘area to prevent the production of pest mosquitoes during the Summer months.” He referred to an evident lack of proper sanitary precautions In connection with the independent | Union Stockyards, which adjoin the Gobel site. | The simple reasoning on which the | surgeon general's report indicates the | possible need to extend the sewage | system is based on the estimated 3,152 animal capacity of the plant per day, equivalent to the population of 140,000. The District’s primary sew- | age treatment plant was designed to eare for approximately 650,000 people, the estimated population in the next 18 years. Population Now 550,000. The present population is approxi- mately 550,000. ‘“Therefore,” the re- | port said, “the additiom of sewage to | be expected from 140,000 people would cause some difficulties in the proper operation of the existing sewage treat- ment plant, and a reduction in its| efficiency.” | “The existing sewage treatment plant is designed as a primary treat- | ment plant only,” Dr. Parran con- tinued, “in which the settleable solids of the sewage are removed. Such | plant will remove approximately 50 per oent of suspended organic matter and will give a 33!3 purification to the sewage. Packing house waste is s difficult waste to treat nad does not lend itself readily to the usual methods | of sewage treatment.” Such waste contains a great vol- ume of putrescible organic matter both in suspension and in solution, the report stated, and volume for volume it greatly exceeds that in domestic sewage. The waste from a complete packing plant, “such as this pro-| posed plant is understood to be” it added, “requires an average of 500 to 600 gallons of water waste per ani- mal killed, regardless of the type| of animal. The biochemical oxygen | demand of such waste also figures to | an extent in estimating the total load that would be placed on the dis- posal plant. } “It is impossible to state just what effect the immediate discharge of the | partially treated waste in combina- | tion with the sewage will have,” Dr. Parran reported, “although it might be expected that there will be some disooloration, since even treated waste from placing plants has a decided reddish color.” These are the premises on which the ! | and runways adjacent thereto, it was | 'MOUNT ST. MARY'S the Commissioners for their con- | sideration. | Other aspects of the report deal with . questions of pollution and fly nuisance. “A survey of the stock pens now in existence shows that they are cov- ered, but do not have impervious floors,” it said. ““The unloading area | at the railroad, as well as the cat-| tle runs and roadways, are not paved.” | Since this area drains directly into | opes Run, which flows through the area of the plant, the report stressed, it was the opinion that the creek: would receive sufficient pollution mat. ter *“to cause obnoxious conditions' during the Summer months when the | ordinary flow is almost negligible. “It is not believed that the pollu- tion would be sufficient to cause any nuisance in the Potomac River after sewage treatment has been installed for the Maryland area now sewered direct to that river,” the report ex- plained. But with constant use of the union stockyard pens and the road areas suggested that “considerable trouble | might be expected from excessive | fiy breeding.” Need of Paving Discussed. “This. of course, would be reduced to & minimum by proper paving and proper manure control at the stock- vards,” Dr. Parran reported further. “As far as is known, however, no plans have been made for such pav- ing. Care also would have to be | exercised in this area to prevent the | production of pest mosquitoes during ! | the Summer months.” | The Union Stockyards at Benning | are not under Federal inspection. | Some years ago, it was explained at | | the Bureau of Animal Industry, the | vards were reduced in size so as to get out from under supervision of the Federal packers and stockyards act control. Since the proposed Gobel | packing house would engage in in- | terstate shipments, any animals which might be assigned to it and kept penned in the Union Stockyards | would be Federally inspected. The stockyards are owned sepa- rately and, while practically unoc- cupied now, officials point out that a thriving packing business naturally would be expected to keep the pens pretty well filled, whether all the animals are consigned to the Gobel plant or not.
