CAPE HENLOPEN 1905 FISH ODORS & FLIES.



CAPE HENLOPEN 1905

FISH ODORS AND FLIES

UNITED STATES vs LUCE ET AL.

In 1905 in the Dover Delaware District Federal Circuit Court, the

District Judge, Edward C. Bradford, presiding, heard the Lewes

Life Savings Service station keeper, John A. Clampitt, and Dr.

Henry Geddings, Commanding Surgeon of the Marine Hospital and

Quarantine Station at Cape Henlopen testify “ an annoyance from

flies is a very serious one. It is necessary to screen every inlet and outlet
as the flies are so thick the view from those windows is cut off. “

September 26, 1905 , Judge Bradford, ordered that the fish processing

plants use deodorizers, disinfectants, and other methods to reduce

the odors.
