Nrv- YORK likely TO OPPOSE JERSEY TRUNK SEWER
u4Ny MEMBERS or ALBANY LEGISLATURE LION
NTH DIsF4rOR ON THE UNDERTAKING
LEGISLATORS OPINIONS.
Nezc- York AssembIymem Differ as
TO Letting .Sezcagc Into Harbor.

Albany. Feo. s (speciaD.-when Governor
OdelFs attention vas called last night TO the
proposition to permit the authorities OF New
Jersey to construct big sewer into New-York
Harbor as far as Robbins Reef. and he was
asked what he thought about it, he said:
I know nothing about it: this is the first
have heard of it. and I cannot pronounce any
opinion about II until know more about it.
Assemblyman Moreland, of Chemung County.
said when informed of the project to construct
the sewer IN New-York Harbor from New-Jer-
sey: "Elnira empties it's sewage into the Che
rnung River but don't know what would do
if bill should come here authorizing New
Jersey to empty sewage into New-York Har-
bor.'
AssembIyan Hobbs of Suffolk County, said on
the same subject: II should oppose a bill TO
give New-Jersey this authority. New-York
State has enough to do to take care Of its own
sewage. Yet there is strong current in the
bay, and if 1t would take sewage out TO sea
would not oppose the bill.
Assemblyman Hooker. of Genesee County.
said Il shouldn't think it would do any serious
harm to permit the construction of the sewer,
but am against New-Jersey doing IT neyerthe-
less Besides there is the New-Jersey sand,
Just the thing to absorb sewage
Assemblyman Landon, of Dutchess County,
said: II don't believe the proposition In the
form of a bill permitting New-Jersey to build
this sewer would go through the legislature
This question of cities and villages emptylng
sewage into streams ana rivers must be settled
and the practice ought to be stopped. 1t is a
practice which is menacing our lives. and i'm
posing large expense cities to purify water
after il is defiIed. There is Albany compelled
TO go to hundreds of thousands OF dollars or
expense to build a filtration plant.
