The Ritter bill to prevent the pollution of

Mr. Ritter, of Williamsport, opposed the

would cost large sum of money to re-
| place them The same is also true of Lock
| Haven. The sewage Of Williamsport
empties into the West Branch twenty
| eight miles above Milton, which gets its
water supply from the West Branch This
| bill saws that sewage cannot be emptied
| into a stream unless thirty miles above
source of supply. Harrisburg, he says, is
in the same position-as Willismsport.
