Dr. Macauley. Self-preservation first, always.
Mr. Magrath. Have you any complaints against the pollution of water from this side crossing over to the Canadian side?
Dr. Macauley. I do not know that we have. Examinations made by our local board have shown that for several miles up the river the pollution is practically constant in the raw water.
Mr. Powell. Across the whole river?
Dr. Macauley. Right across the channel. We examined all the way across.
Mr. Powell. But you have had no independent examination?
Dr. Macauley. Yes; we have.
Mr. Powell. And that independent examination showed the same results as our examinations?
Dr. Macauley. Practically the same.
Mr. Powell. Showing that contamination extends across the whole channel?
