Hearings of the International Joint Commission in re remedies for the pollution of boundary waters between the United States and Canada

by International Joint Commission

Mr. Tawney. That was in November, 1914, was it not?

Mr. Hubbell. Yes, sir.

Mr. Tawney. Since that time have you been engaged in working out these problems for the city of Detroit?

Mr. Hubbell. Yes, sir.

Mr. Tawney. During that time was the sanitary consulting engineer of the commission engaged in the study of the same problems here in the city?

Mr. Hubbell. During a portion of that time he was.

Mr. Tawney. And you worked in conjunction with him?

Mr. Hubbell. Through the cooperation of Prof. Phelps and Mr. McRae, who was in charge of the Detroit station, we engaged joint offices for the study of what to me was the third problem submitted. The cooperation was very close in working out the details connected with the third problem submitted to me.

Mr. Mignault. That is as to remedial measures?

Mr. Hubbell. Yes, sir; by what means, if any, should the city of Detroit undertake to purify the sewage.
