Sewerage Commission of the City of Milwaukee,
June 20, 1916.
Hon. O. Gardner,
Chairman, International Joint Commission,
Federal Building, Buffalo, N. Y.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of June the 19 addressed to Hon. Daniel W. Hoan, mayor, city of Milwaukee, has been referred to me for reply.
With the permission of the Sewerage Commission of the city of Milwaukee I should be glad to attend your meeting, to be held at Detroit on Tuesday, June 27, to assist you in any way I can in the discussion for adoption of the most feasible and efficient system for the disposal of sewage pollution of the cities which affect the boundary waters.
I am sending this communication to your address at the Federal Building, Buffalo, also the Federal Building at Detroit, and Southern Building at Washington, D. C.
Upon my arrival at Detroit on Tuesday morning I will call at the Federal Building about 10 o’clock.
Very truly, yours,
T. Chalkley Hatton, Chief Engineer.
P. S.—My engagements are such that I must leave Detroit for Pittsburgh the night of June 27.
Mr. Tawney. Mr. Livingstone, is it your desire to present to the commission anything on this matter of remedies for the pollution of these waters occasioned by steamboat traffic?
