Mr. Tawney. Since the report of the commission’s consulting sanitary engineer has been made have you had an opportunity to examine and study it?
Mr. Hubbell. I have examined it; I have not studied it closely in all its details.
Mr. Tawney. You have made a final report to the city council of Detroit as a result of your investigation and study?
Mr. Hubbell. Yes, sir; a copy of which report I have here.
Mr. Tawney. So far as the remedies for the pollution of the Detroit River as it extends beyond the boundary are concerned, do you know to what extent your report corresponds with the report of the consulting sanitary engineer of the commission?
Mr. Hubbell. In working out the problem jointly we came to a practical agreement in the matter.
Mr. Tawney. You are familiar with the alternative propositions which the consulting sanitary engineer has submitted to the commission, are you?
Mr. Hubbell. Yes, sir; entirely so.
Mr. Mignault. There are six alternative measures referred to. Our consulting engineer has expressed a preference for two of those measures. Did you agree practically with his choice?
Mr. Hubbell. Yes; we were practically agreed as to the methods that were most desirable and most fitted for the conditions that exist at Detroit.
