charged that the whole opposition to the sewer

The arguments sifted down To one question: dVViu

into tho Hudson at depth Of fifty feet and tVTenfy
feet from its shore. pollute its waterS?''
MIR. Dougherty argued that the effect Of tho tides
would cause the sewage To remain in the river for
an indefinite time. The advocates OF the bill suE-
gested that the towns and villages to be drained IN,
1le proposed sewer should provide for some disposal
plant on land.
Its opponents asked II New York City would re-
fund to Westchester the 100000 already expended
