So our statement that possibly the village of Trenton alone need to immediately treat its sewage is based on our local conditions along the Michigan shore and not on any study of conditions that might exist on the other side. But our recommendations to them are that their plans be so drawn that treatment works can be installed when necessary. Trenton is now very seriously in need of the installation of a good public water supply, and we would certainly endeavor to hasten the time when they can have such a supply.
Mr. Tawney. All the sewage of these cities that you have mentioned is deposited in the Detroit River in a raw state?
Mr. Follin. In a raw state; yes, sir. There is no treatment whatever.
Mr. Gardner. They are all below the city of Detroit?
Mr. Follin. They are all below Detroit.
Mr. Tawney. You are a sanitary engineer, are you not?
Mr. Follin. Yes, sir.
Mr. Tawney. You are a graduate of the State university at Ann Arbor?
Mr. Follin. I am a graduate of the State university at Ann Arbor; yes, sir.
Mr. Tawney. How long have you been in practice?
