BOARD IS
ON TRAIL
OF CULPR|T

The harbor commissioners feel certain
they are on the trail OF the persons or
corporation responsible for the pollution
refuse and announced today that they
are practically sure OF their party from
recent Investigations.
Chairman Shedd stated that the mat
ter was brought TO the attention OF ono
Of the members during a conversation
the other day and that n prompt investi-
cation followed.
The results of the tracing OF the oily
matter have brought surprising fact fhich
although not yet made public, will be
given out when the matter Is ripe, the
commissioner states.
There Is one thing / can say he said
to representatives from the papers this
noon, "and that Is that the Providence
Gas company is not the concern which
we regard as the chief sinner. IL is a COR
poration which may or may not be near
the harbor front, but we are not ready
to disclose the name yet II will be re-
membered that the shell fishermen and
the persons having leased oyster beds
have complained bitterly about deluges OF
oil almost every week. which they noticed
on the water over the places where their
shell fish were placed and they have re-
ported considerable damage from this
cause, as a great deal of their stock has
spoiled
No later than Monday was n new
deluge of oil reported by Mr.. Sunderland
off Sabin's Point and II was 10 allay the
fears Of these men and TO assure them
that the commission was working that
mention was made OF IL today
1t has been said by some that the oil
might come from the flushing OF barges
and tanks at the Standard oil works and
that the regularity with which the re-
ports came was thought TO indicate the
arrival Of tank barges.
When the commissioners were asked
point blank II II was the Standard Oil
company that was suspected. the answer
returned was that the commission was
not prepared to make any further state
ments al this time.
