| There was a hearing before the Committee
on Interior Waters yesterday afternoon on
the question Of prohibiting the throwing of
sawdust and other refuse matter into the
kennebec river, Hon. J. Manchester
| Haynes stated to the committee that it cost
| the Lockwood Mills at Waterville $1,000 a
year to keep the channels at that place clear
and the Edwards Company at Augusta a
similar amount for the same purpose. He
also showed the importance of the river as
water supply In order that this supply
/ should be pure no parties, he commended
should be permitted to use the river as
dumping place for any kind of waste mate
rial. He stated that while a few lumber
dealers at Fairfield desired to put their saw
dust in the river, to the rest of the commun-
ity this was a positive injury from it. He
believed that the good of the many should
prevail over the wishes of few. Mr. HAYNES
spoke of the injury to the great ice industry
along the river, caused by the dumping of saw
dust and other refuse matter into the river He
presented long petitions asking the prohibit
ton of the dumping of refuse matter of any
kind into the river from Waterville, Augusta,
Hallowell, Gardiner and other places. Mr.
Richardson of Bath showed the great damage
which had been done in that city by the fill
the figures showing the great decrease in the
depth of the water At the various slips and
wharves in Bath. which decrease was due
to the accumulation of sawdust and other
refuse matter-chiehy sawdust. Capt. +
Jason Collins, who has had 81 years ser
vice on the kennebec, advocated the same
side of the question. Geo. b. Randlette,
one of the selectmen of Richmond, stated
that the water supply of that place came
from the river, and tina, supply vas much
damaged BY the sawdust and other refuse
matter VII. Oh 10 dumped into the river along

the Star of the East, stated that he wa.

of the filling up Of the channel along the
river which he considered was due almost
wholly to the result Of the dumping of saw
dust into the river ~ vAious saw mills along
its banks.
Representative Wake ield Of Bath il be-

great damage which had bt en- done in that
city by sawdust which had greatly decreased
