Federal Grand Jury at Buffalo Re-
ports ON the Matter

The Federal grand jury has made an
exceptionally interesting report on the
subject Of dumping debris in the Niagara
river. Dumping is now being done at the
head of Grand Island and at other points
in connection with Buffalo harbor i'm
provements and the construction of the
Loekport waterworks says the Buffalo
Express. The grand jury hnds that this
dumping is impeding some useful chan
nels and that 1t tends 10 divert water
from the American TO the Canadian side.
thus lessening the amount which goes

scenery and reducing the amount avail
able for power on this side of the river.
The dumping is all done under permits
from the War Department. Consequently
no evidence is found Of violation Of law.
but the grand jury urged that the per
mits be revoked and that other considera-
tions than navigability be taken into ac-
count in granting new ones.
The report should have an important
effect on the authorities at Washington.
