POLLUTION OF RIVERS.
Its Prevention Matter Not for One
State, But for All


The private citizen who owned real
estate through which flowed pietur-
esque stream Of water, afforded pleasure

who deliberately converted it into an
open sewer, rendering the water unfit
for drinking, driving away or killing
the fish and creating d public nuisance,
would soon be prosecuted as a criminal
or restrained as a unatic
Vet the state of New York has al
lowed the Hudson and Mohawk rivers
and all their tributaries to be turned
into sewers, almost without protest
Even now the dangers and losses to
which the state and its citizens are ex-
posed BY the short sighted policy are
understood imperfectly BY the public
and the campaign for clean water IS
maintained against popular indifference
and keen private opposition.
Much 81 the matter which defiles and
p0isOns the water of the streams comes
in the form Of sewage from the com
munities along their banks. The condi
lions did not become SO acute, however,
until the establishment OF great fac
tories and the discharge Of waste there
from added an entirely new element to
the burden Of the rivers Among the
unpleasant and harmful substances that
find their way into be Mohawk in great
quantities these are mentioned:
Dye stuils, soaps. whey. used olive oil,
wood pulp waste. bleaming agents, spent
loawood, washings from leather facto-
ries, alkalis, acid wastes, soda, lime.
muriatic acid. nitric acid, oil and organic
matter such as greases.

health is conservative in its statements,
