Albany April 10-Poluton Of the waters Of the
upper Hudson River is the subject Of a report
by the State Health Department, included I'm its
monthly bulletin lust published. The data given
the result OF investigation by the division
OF sanitary engineering begun last November in
the section Of the upper Hudson between the upper
limits OF the village OF Glens Fails and Waterford.
at the mouth Of the Mohawk River. including those
portions within this state OF tho watersheds of TWO
OF tho principal tributaries of tho Hudson between
these points. the Hooslck River and tho Batten
XIII. and except that the watersheds OF Fish
Creek, discharging into the Hudson M Schuyler
Vile. and OF Anthony XIII were not visited. II IS
pointed out that inasmuch rs villages OF Sara
toga Springs and Round Lake otherwise dispose
OF their sewage and as Ballston IS about 70 do So
the pollution reaching Fish Creek and Anthony
XIII is relatively negligible
The investigation showed that n large proper
ton Of the drainage area OF the river above Glens
Falls IS included In the Adirondack Park. The
total drainage area tributary to the Hudson at
Glens Falls is $50 square miles and the population
on this portion OF the watershed is 5o.9o
From Glens Falls TO Waterford drainage area

This includes such portions OF the drainage areas
Of the Batten XIII ISL square niles and the
Hoosick River i4s2 square miles) az are within
the state The population this portion Of the
watershed Of the Hudson is So.
The department thus figures the density OF popu.
lation I'm the watershed above Glcns Falls at egh-
population below and including Gleus Falls, is com
puted at eghty-four persons square mile. Only
one village IN the watershed above Glens Falls
has constructed a public system. while
the watershed in New York State below Glens

Summarizing the results OF It's investigation thus
far the department says
For example, at point just above Waterford
the drainage of the Hudson is 4.62l square
miles and the population in tho drainage area ~
26,665, giving "a population per square mile or
