poaition to the bill introduced by North
Haven parties regarding the alleged pol
luton of the waters of the Quinnipiso
river by acids from the factories along the |
river in this placs. Evidence was intro |
duced by Albert Jones, D. o. Doolittle, 8.
E. Hotohkiss and others to chow that |
there wss no cause for complaint on that
score as two of the above live near
and water over fifty head of cattle
from the river and have never
seen any signs of any pollution of the wa
ter, and 1t was shown that there is no un-
usual scarcity of fish, with the exception
of shsd, which are reported Is scarce all
over the usual shad grounds of the state,
and the failure of shsd to come up the river
as they used to years ago Is attributed as
partially due to the breskwater in New
Haven harbor and largely to the sewage In
the harbor from the city of New Haven It.

men. The report of the committee will be
rendered later.
