- The biggest treatment problem was organic matter, mostly from local canneries, which produced several times more sewage than all the residents combined. Sutter Packing Company, one of the largest, occupied the present Fry's Electronics building in central Palo Alto. It canned tomatoes, peaches, apricots and spinach. The effluent created a high "scum load" that resulted in an enormous biological oxygen demand, suffocating aquatic creatures. It also made Mayfield Slough smell like an outhouse -- some say worse.
Probably current Fry's building acc to Barron Park history
