The Solicitor Of tho Treasury has sent to the
Secretary Of the Treasury his opinion on tho
question raised by the Light-House Board
with reference to the dumping of refuse mat.
ter from the city Of New York into the cast
channel at Sandy Hook. The Solicitor sug-
gests that the General Government can take
cognizanco of tho subject under tho Federal
law relating to tho regulation of commerce
with foreign Powers and between the
several States, but thinks the matter
should be finally brought to the attention Of
Congress and q law passed giving the Federal
Government power to prevent the dumping Of
any matter in channels leading in and out Of
any ports of tho United States. The Solicitor
also suggests that the municipal authorities oi
New York might be able to control this mat.
ter. at least until Congress eau take action, in
asmuch as they contract with the parties who
remove the matter, and eau stipulate where 1t
shall be dumped. The city Is vastly inter.
estcd In the questions and should give it i'm
mediate attention.
