The State Sewerage Commission is divided

protracted and earnest one.
Commissioner Harrington, Of Bergen County

in which 1t was recommended that each city
and town that now pours sewer water into
rivers and streams be required to treat sewage
so that nothing deeterious will flow into the
streams. This plan was approved by the ma
jority. but Commissioner Hunt, Of Newark, Is
persistent in advocating the trunk sewer the
only means of remedying the Passaic nuisance
and retaining the stream. The proposed sewer
is to convey the sewage Of Paterson. Passalc
