Mr. Darrow. I certainly am. Of course, I think it is an evil that has got to be overcome slowly.

Mr. Tawney. Yes; but ultimately it will have to come.

Mr. Darrow. Ultimately it will have to come; yes.

Mr. Mignault. Then, your opinion is that cities should be forced to treat their sewage?

Mr. Darrow. Just as speedily as it can be accomplished. I think it is on a par with garbage collection; that it should be done, and that eventually cities will find that it is a source of income instead of a source of expense.

Mr. Gardner. Is there any other gentleman from Ogdensburg who wishes to be heard now, or who has anything to offer on the subject?

(There was no response.)

Mr. Gardner. If not, we will proceed to hear the representatives of the next town who appear before us.

(There was no response.)

Mr. Tawney. Is there anyone else from any other city or town on the St. Lawrence in this vicinity who desires to be heard on this subject?
