Residents Protest Spilling of Sewage Water in Street
Camden Courier-Post —
East Camden residents in the 3200 block on Farragut Avenue protested to city health authorities today the spilling of several thousand gallons of sewage water into the street.
The water was pumped from the grit chamber of the eastside disposal plant, opposite the homes, and caused pools four feet deep, residents claimed.
Frank Gondolf, city superintendant of sewers, blamed it on the oversight of an employee who failed to shut down a pump being tested.
He explained they planned to empty the grit chamber into the by-pass leading into the Delaware River. He said he ordered the pump tested while he went for a fitting to complete the connection. During the interim, the pump was draining the waste water onto a plant driveway 10 minutes, he said. It spilled into the street from the driveway.
Complaints were voiced Mrs. Margaret Scharr, mother of nine children, of 3226 Farragut Avenue, who said it was impossible to keep neighborhood children from playing around the puddles, and by Fred Cassidy, 3230 Farragut Avenue, who stated:
“It smells terrible. The City tells us to cut the grass around our homes and keep our properties clean and then they spill this filthy water on our street.”
Gondolf said the puddles will be cleared and lime spread over the street, which is unpaved.
SAMPLE OF SEWAGE WATER is being scooped from the gutter along the 3200 block Farragut Avenue by Mrs. Marjorie Albertson, 3230 Farragut Avenue. Residents said the ‘waste’ was spilled into the street by employees of the city disposal plant, which fronts their homes. Mrs. Albertson said the will be sent to health authorities.

3230 Farragut Avenue — Wallis Cassidy & Family, 1947–January 9, 1998; grandson William Fritschie
These are pictures from my Grandmother, Margaret Fritschie’s house 3230 Farragut Avenue, on the corner of Bergen and Farragut Avenues. They lived in Ablett Village until my mom was in her early 20’s. Then moved in with my maternal Grandfather, Frederick Cassidy. A little bit about the house: The story of this house is that my Grandfather’s mother put a hex on the house because she did not approve of him dating my grandmother. The house had all types of problems and was believed to be haunted. In the early 90’s, it caught fire while no one was home and burnt to the ground. My grandmother believed it was the hex. My mother believed it was the wrong doing of my uncle Bill’s drug dealers that he never paid. Neither were ever proved. The house is still an empty lot to this day.
