HARBOR POLLUTION.
The Passaic Project Is Declared to
Raise a Serious Peril.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your issue OF the 24th inst. con-
tains an interesting article entitled Fear
Harbor VIII BE Closed TO Imperator.'
Ten years ago the New York Bay Pol
luton Commission was appointed, with
the prime object OF examining into and
trying To prevent certain proposed plans
for the Passaic Valley sewerage project
That commission enlisted the cooper
alton OF various civic bodies. including
the Merchants Association.
From the time Of the first session OF
that first commission 10 the present date
there has been continuous opposition 10
the Passaic Valley project, and contin-
uous and strenuous insistence by the
New Jersey commission for the carrying
out of it's scheme, practically regardless
OF consequences TO the waters OF New
York Harbor Litigation Is not yet
ended. but the United States government
through the War Department, has grant
ed certain consents TO the New Jersey
commission. under which It is now acting
and proposing to construct its sewage
dispersal plant.
The verbiage of the governments con-
sent Is so loose that II nuisance develops
following the construction of the plant
evidence will have TO be presented prac-
tically proving that the sewage deiile-
mcnt and nuisance comes from the New
Jersey plant and not from other sources
otherwise the government will not act

bee very serious task. Perchance the
action now pending before the Supreme
Court OF the United States in the name
Of the State Of New York. though practi-
cally carried on by the city of New York.
may bring some new and safeguarding
condition into the whole case This Is
certainly to be hoped tor by all desiring
the welfare of New York iarbor
Those in favor of the New Jersey prof.
Get have OF course, made large use OF
the fact that the sewage from all the
Passaic Valley towns and cities actually
now reaches New York ilarbor. They

CHAPTER Nv.

The queen went home and
searched out her mirror at once,
for she was certain she had left
Snow-white dead, and, therefore,
she must surely be the most beau
tiful woman living. She asked
the same old question and again
the mirror gave the same old an
swer:
Queen, thou art of beatty rare,
But Snow-white, living in the
glen,
With the seven little men,
Is a thousand times more fair"
This time the cruel queen was
so enraged that she trembled and
almost fell to the floor. Could
1t be possible that Snow-white
still lived?
Turning from the glass, she
gripped her hands tightly togeth-
er and said solemnly:
"Snow-white shall die, though
1t should cost me my own life. .
Then she went into a little
room up near the attic in the big
castle. and carefully prepared a
poisonous apple. She painted
her face and dressed like a peas
ant woman and went out to find

Il can easily sell my beautiful
apples to some one else. I'll tell
you what / am going to do. +

checked apple"
Snow-white longed so for the
beautiful apple that she TOOK IL
and bit into it. The minute it
touched her mouth she fell to the
earth and breathed no more The
queen almost jumped for joy
and, rushing out into the woods
toward home, called back over
her shoulder:
As white as snow, as red as
blood and as black as ebony.
This time the dwarfs will not be
able to bring you back to life
again"
She went directly home to her
mirror and laughed into It's face
as she gleefully whispered:
Looking glass against the wall.
