sawmill Dumpinss Destroy Fish.

Word was received at the office
of the New York state forest, fish and
game commission from Johnstown
that Supreme Court Justice Spencer
had handed down a decision in line
with the contention of the state de-
partment, that sawmills, by dumping
sawdust in the streams of the state
inhabited by fish, prevent the fish
from breeding, although the full
grown fish are not actually killed. 1t
Is stated that 600 sawmills of North
ern New York will be affected by this
ruling, which holds that the dumping
of such refuse matter into the streams
is a violation of law. Action was
brought against Oren B. Lapelle of
Long lake, Hamilton county, for the
enforcement of the penalty, the case
being test to secure judicial con-
struction of the law.

before the public service commission
in the Second district in opposition

authority to change its original route
