process contemplated is designed
solely to remove solid matters, and

Plan of the Commissioners.

The proposition of the Passaic val
ley sewerage commissioners Is to COL
lect the house drainage of Newark,
Paterson and about thirty other mu-
inequalities or townships in the Passaic
valley and discharge 1t into upper New
York bay. This would be done by al
extensive system of sewers and a tun-
mel running under Newark Bay. Bay
onne and New York bay to the neigh
borhood Of Robbins reef. The tunnel
would discharge the sewage through a
number of outlets at the bottom of the
harbor near the edge of the main ship
channel. The sewage would be
screened and passed through settling
basins In order to remove solid par
ticles and grit. The number of per-
sons tributary to the sewer would be
about 600,000 when the works were first
put into operation. The quantity Of
sewage would increase with the popu-
lation up to The full capacity of the
sewer. when there would be about L.
$50. 1000 people contributing their sew
age to the works.

that California has subscribed So,

After listening to the various
speakers, it was announced LOT the
committee that no action will be
taken on this request until after Il
delegation representing New Orleans
can be heard. Senator Foster, who
could not be present, secured this
understanding with Chairman Cullom.
He and Senator McEnery are push
ing New Orleans claims in the SEN

by the other Louisiana congressman,
are working among the members OF
the house.
General Estopinal sent telegram
to the New Orleans exposition man

opinion a bill, similar to that intro
duced for the st. Louis exposition
should be introduced, and if they
shall agree with him he will offer the
measure and have it referred to the
