WILL PROTECT BEACHES.
War Department Orders Csty's
Refuse Dumped f9 Miles Ont.
EFrom The Tribune Bupeau.l ]


washington, July 19.-Residents of the coast
resorts of New Jersey and Long Island who
have been complaining that garbage from New
York City was dumped at sea and polluted the
bathing beaches are now assured by ruling of
the War Department that they need no longer
suffer in this respect. The War Department has
decided that it has authority to prevent the gar
bage being dumped at point where it may be
washed back on the beaches and oyster beds.
AS a result of the agitation on the subject the
Supervisor OF the Port of New York has, through
the proper channels, informed the War Depart
ment that special regulations will be enforced
to prevent the garbage being dumped where II
will be objectionable to New Jersey ana Long
Island residents He informs the department
that a point twelve miles out at sea from the
coast has been selected as a future dumping
ground.
In his ruling with reference to the petition Of
New Jersey residents TO stop the nuisance Sec
retary Taft says that while the limit of juris-
dfction OF a country over adjacent seas is us
ually considered TO be three miles, II is neverthe
less true that many states have in their munich
pal laws assumed jurisdiction over a wider zone
against their revenue laws, and It would seem
that they might with equal prOpriety assume
such wider jurisdiction for the purpose Of pro-
tecting their harbors.
The Secretary says It would be reasonable to
hold that by the provision OF Section l of the
act Of June %, 1888. authorizing the selection by
the supervisor OF the harbor Of New York OF a
place OF deposit of the prohibited matter outside
thereto Congress intended TO authorize and did
authorize the selection Of place Of deposit suf-
dciently remote not only to protect the harbor
OF New York against distractions to navigation,
cident thereto to conserve 'the sanitation OF the
harbor and that Of adjacent coasts
