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. Powell. About how far is it from where it starts to flow up to the end of the curve?

Mr. Bryson. It starts about half a mile below the town. I should think it is out about 800 feet. The intake is supposed to be across the present eddy.

Mr. Powell. Just beyond it, near the margin.

Mr. Bryson. Yes.

Mr. Powell. During your time has the pollution increased very much?

Mr. Bryson. It has increased with the population in the western end of the town.

Mr. Powell. Have you ever made any estimate as to what the cost would be of sterilization by sedimentation or otherwise of the sewage?

Mr. Bryson. No, sir.

Mr. Magrath. So far as I can gather, you have been the chief offender against yourself in the past.

Mr. Bryson. I think so, Mr. Magrath.
