MR.. DAVIS Is INDIGNANT.
Laws ON the Statute Books Are Not
Enforced, He Says.

Enforced, He Says.
+. A. w. Davis, of the Indianapolis Water
Company, in commenting on the killing
of fish in White river by pollution from
the strawboard mills observes that it is
doubtful whether the pollution of streams
by strawboard companies dumping refuse
into them is a violation of the law. He
calls attention to a bill that was passed
by the Legislature of 1901, which, he says,
actually legalizes such outrages." This
bill made it unlawful for any manufacturer
written permission of the State Board of
Health. Mr.. Davis calls attention to an
other stream pollution bill that was passed
about the same time
This law Is all right said Mr.. Davis
yesterday, las 1t is designed to prevent
pollution and to protect the fish. But what
is the law? Which Of the two is valid?
And where do we stand? The pollution bill
has no repeating clause, and has an emer-
gency clause that legalizes stream pollu-
ton. The other bill has no emergency
clause and has a repeating clause"
Mr.. Davis declares these laws are multi
fed because the State Fish Commissioner
strawboard companies know that the Gov
ernor believes that few strawboard fac
tories that employ few men and pay
some taxes in Indiana are of more i'm
portance that pure water. Mr.. Davis points
out that indianapolis is growing SO large
that soon driven wells cannot be relied
on for. sufficient water, and in cases of
emergency the river will be the only source
of supply. He also suggests that men and
boys who go swimming in the river get
this water, filled with disease, In their
mouths.

offered a reward of 500 for information
that will lead to the arrest and conviction
of the person or corporation who Is respon-
sible for the pollution of the river at that
point and that when the necessary informa-
ton is obtained the prosecution will be
vigorous and relentless. He further says
he has investigated some twenty similar
cases in the past and the the great trouble
is to secure sufficient evidence to convict:
that there is always abundant evidence of
the commission of the crime, but to fasten
1T on the guilty person requires evidence
of a character that has I'm the past been
practically unobtainable. He further said
that if Mr.. Davis, OF the Indianapolis Water
Company, who is so free with his criticism
of the fish commissioner, is sincere in wish
ing TO give to the citizens of Indianapolis
pure water he should lend his aid in secur-
ing evidence that will convict those guilty
of polluting the water supply.
