REFUSE OF PAPER MILLS
DECLARED TO BE OF VAL UE
Experiments Show 1t May Be Used
in Foundries and on Maca-
dam Roads

NEW YORK. June 3.-The vigorous
campaign which has been waged for
ten years to stop the pollution of lakes
and fresh water streams throughout
the country ana notably in New York
state, by the wood pulp mills is be-
lieved to have been terminated by the
knowledge that the refuse from these
paper mills is too valuable as by
product to be thrown away.
Experiments by pulp mills in Gin
ton county are reported to show that
the refuse from the mills which here
tofore has been dumped into lakes and
streams can be utilized as a substitute
for oornmeal and molasses, used for
core casting in iron foundries and as
a top dressing for macadam roads and
other purposes. The mills in New
York state alone have been dumping
annually thousands of millions of gall
Ions of sulphite waste into the streams
and lakes. 1t is expected that the dis
coYery will stop this.
