Mr. Tawney. Dr. McCullough, have you or Mr. Dallyn anything to offer with respect to this St. Lawrence district?
Dr. McCullough. For my own part, I do not think so. I think all we have to say about it is set out in the report.
Mr. Tawney. You are the head of the health service in the Province of Ontario?
Dr. McCullough. Yes, sir.
Mr. Tawney. I want these gentlemen present to know that you are the head of the health service in the Province of Ontario, and that Mr. Dallyn is the sanitary engineer of the Province.
Mr. Darrow. I think something ought to be done with the State of New York, because all of these plans for sewerage in the boundary waters are approved by the State of New York. The institutions owned by the State of New York are running their sewage into the boundary waters.
Mr. Tawney. The State boards of health, I think all of them, have been very cordially in sympathy with the investigation into this matter which the commission has been conducting for the last three years, and I do not apprehend that any recommendations that the commission may finally make to the two Governments, with respect to it, will be opposed by the State, judging from the expressions we have had from them. If there is nothing further, the hearing will be considered closed, and the commission will go into executive session for the purpose of considering some other matters that we intend to take up at this time.
(The commission then went into executive session and the hearing adjourned.)
