SEWAGE PLANT REPORT.
The State Department of Health
Finishes Investigation.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Albany Feb. 2a-The State Department of
Health announced to-day the completion of the
first thorough and careful investigation Of the
working of every sewage disposal plant in the
state More than fifty plants were examined The
report issued by the department on this work con-
tans a complete description of the plants, their
operation and management, with plans and photo
graphs and analyses of the sewage and
eff1uent from the plants.
This work is of great Importance in connection
with the publication of streams and the efforts to
preserve water supplies from pollution. Dr. Eugene
II. Porter, State Health Commissioner, has out
lined policy of preventing pollution of streams
and protecting water supplies by refusing grant
permits for the discharge Of raw sewage into
waters of the state thus compelling the building of
disposal plants. Such progress is being made that
the commissioner believes a few years will see the
building and operation of a great number OF these
plants, thus avoiding nuisances and unhealthful
conditions and protecting the health of the cities
using streams public water supplies.
In the report the sizes and classes of sewage dis
posal plants are set forth fully with comment on
the results obtained. Municipal plants are divided
into classes-complete plants and partial treat
plants.
The eompete treatment of municipal sewage is
compara ratively recent, since, among the sixteen
places noted, the oldest-that az Brewster-was
constructed in 1893 That plant. however. does not
represent modern ideas of treatment the Oldest
plant involving modern notions being that at Lib
erty, built in 1900. Plants for partial treatment
much older. those involving chemical t. eatment
dating back about 1890. The oldest types of
plants for partial treatment those found in
Dogevie. Saugertes Bronxvlle and Skanea-
teles, which the best type Of complete treatment
generally applicable through the may be seen
at Balston Spa, Brockport. Dansville, Penn Yam
and Fort Edward. Plants at Lake Placid and
Saratoga types of plans which will give the
greatest efficiency. but, unfortunately con-
fined to the localities where sand be found.
and thar fnSsi III tinrS
are fully described in the report.
The department proposes TO keep these plants
under continual observation and by systematic
analyses of the sewage and effuent the
value of the plants in connection with the ya1ia-
ton in construction and the character OF the
age may be pointed out a guide to municipali-
ties contemplating the construction of similar
plants

THINKS TEXAS HARMLESS
Officer of the T. s p. Disbeleres
Receiuership Story.

An officer or the Texas & Pacific Railroad Com
panv said yesterday that he placed no credence In
a dispatch from Texas stating that the Governor
Of that state had threatened to bring suit against
the road for the appointment of a receiver unless
IT complied with the order of the Railroad Com
mission to expend 81 600 for improvements. He
added that as the company was operating unoer d
federal charter and further protected by being
,ncornoreted as military and post road, he did
not believe that the state government had the
power to institute receivership proceedings even
II IT desired to do so. which he doubted
The Texas Railroad Commission. he said, issued
an order to the company on December 2S last
based On an inspection of the Texas & Pacific sys-
tenn directing the company to relay with steer
rails weighing not less than seventy-nve POUNDS
about eighty-two miles of its main line and all of
tho +ranscontnental branch at present laid with
sixty pound rails. The order also required that
about Is per of the ties on the eastern division
should be renewed. and that this entire DIVISION
should he rebaiIasted with broken stone or first
class gravel. except those sections on which the
work had already been done The company was
also To rebuild several of its stations
Under the terms of the order the work of rebal-
lasting was be begun at once and carried on
at the rate of two hundred miles year. and the
relaving of the parts of the system mentioned with
hoo,,or rails WAS to be completed December 81
of this wear These improvements. The Tribunes
informant said. it had been estimated by those
familiar with the work would not cost at the most
moro than s1,csD000 and it was expected that the
aggregate would be about sSoo.60 He pointed out
that AS the company had year In which to do
the work and had refused to obey the order
of the Railroad Commission, there was no reason
WHY the Governor of Texas should have taken
anv such action as was reported IN the oispatch
from Austin, Tex. last Friday.
Other well informed interests said that receiver
could scarcely appointed. if at ALL except upon
an application of bondhoders or general creditors
uhose claims had not been satisfied. They pointed
out that the company had met all OF its interest
obIieations and was paying its current obligations
IN the regular way. and said that in their opinion
the only possible action that could be taken by
the Governor OF Texas would be 10 order reVo-
cation OF it's license operate within the bounda-
ries of the state Even If he should take this step
they said II would be easy for the company by
reason OF its federal charter TO obtain an injunc-
tton preventing the authorities from nterfer-
ing with the road.
II is said on good authority that in the last
seven wears the management of the Texas & Pa
c6c has expended 81 000 900 for betternents. -Four
hundred and seventy-dve thousand dollars, 1t is
said was spent last year on the Eastern DIVISION
