Mr. Mignault. Is it possible to explain why pollution is higher in the summer months than in the winter months?
Mr. Hubbell. I have made no attempt to explain that. I merely report the fact that it is so on the Detroit River.
Mr. Mignault. I gather that that is a fact which can not be questioned, but is not so easily explained.
Mr. Hubbell. I concur in that expression; yes, sir.
Mr. Tawney. If I understand you correctly, then, Mr. Hubbell, your recommendations to the city on this subject are practically in accord with the recommendations of the consulting engineer of the commission as to the remedies for the existing pollution?
Mr. Hubbell. We reached the same conclusion as to the method to be adopted, if any is adopted.
Mr. Tawney. I think, Mr. Chairman, that we ought to have Mr. Hubbell’s report made a part of the hearings for the purpose of using such portions of it in the proceedings as the commission may hereafter desire.
(The report of Mr. Hubbell was received as a part of his statement before the commission on the question under consideration.)
Mr. Tawney. Is there anything further, Mr. Hubbell, that you desire to present to the commission on this question?
Mr. Hubbell. I have expressed myself fully in my report, and there is nothing further, unless there are some questions that you wish to ask me.
