Give City Time for Sewerage Solution.
Members OF the state board of
health, representatives OF the Indian
apolis city government. land owners
and representatives Of the county gov
ernments in Morgan and Johnson
counties found no cause for disagree
ment in a special meeting with the
state board concerning the pollution
OF White river south Of Indianapolis
as far as Martinsville. All agreed the
pollution was insufferably bad. and all
declared steps should be taken
as speedily as possible to rem
edy conditions by having In
dianapolis construct a sewage dis
posal plant, and by compelling the
cities on the river above Indianapolis
10 provide some method of disposal
other than pouring sewage into the
river.
The land owners and public Off
cials of the two counties named, who
were chief complainants before the
board. accepted the assurances of the
indianapolis representatives that the
city was willing and anxious to do It's
part toward stopping the pollution.
and agreed the city should have a rea'
sonable time in which to arrive at a
proper solution of the sewerage dis.
posal problem.
The ease was the first of its kind 10
be placed before the state board since
the enactment of the anti-stream pol.
luton law OF 1909. when Representa-.
tive Homer McGlnnis of Morgan coun
ty introduced a bill the ultimate pur-
pose Of which was to provide relief
for the land owners and the cities
south OF this city on White river.
