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. Gardner. It would fall off greatly, of course, after what you might term the vacation season?

Mr. Dewey. My estimate of the number of people, tourists, would be from the regular line of boats and the excursion steamers passing.

Mr. Gardner. How late do these steamers run on the river here?

Mr. Dewey. Until the middle of September.

Mr. Mignault. Can you give us an idea as to the population on the islands?

Mr. Dewey. On the islands in the immediate vicinity of Brockville there are about 1,500 people.

Mr. Magrath. You say Brockville people?

Mr. Dewey. Probably Brockville people.

Mr. Mignault. But from elsewhere than Brockville, what would the total be?

Mr. Dewey. The number of nonresidents of Brockville that would be in the vicinity of Brockville would not be very large.
