Mr. Kyle. I do not know just how they would get after them. But they would have to burn the garbage and treat their sewage. It is a serious question for the municipalities. They have all issued debentures for putting in plants for the disposal of the sewage, I suppose with the permission of the Government. Some towns can do it very easily, but in our town it would be a very serious question.
Mr. Mignault. I understand that no studies have been made as to sewage treatment in Brockville.
Mr. Kyle. Well, not to any great extent. The engineers have informed us that it would be a very expensive undertaking on account of the rocky formation and the hilly ground on which we are located.
Mr. Powell. As I understand you, your personal view is that there should be a general prevention of the deposit into the river of raw sewage?
Mr. Kyle. Yes; it is my view that it should be prevented by both the United States and Canada.
Mr. Powell. You think it should be prevented by all concerned?
Mr. Kyle. Yes; by all concerned.
Mr. Powell. All communities should be prohibited from depositing raw sewage into the river.
Mr. Kyle. Yes, sir.
Mr. Mignault. You would still have trouble from the campers on the islands, even if the communities treated their sewage?
