The Passaic Valley sewage COM
missioners emerged victorious today
in their legal battle with certain
Paterson interests which attempted to
prevent the commissioners from con-
structing 100000 flume under the
Newark Bay to Robbins Reef.
Vice-Chancellor Backes signed an
order today denying the injunction

Issue restraining them from building
the tunnel
The matter has been pending for
six weeks, and the decision of Vice
Chancellor Backes is a signal victory
for the commission and for Adrian
Riker and John r. Hardin, counsel
to the commission.
The action to prevent the eonstruc-
ton of the tunnel was started by
Warren Dixon a Jersey City lawyer,
acting ostensibly for William ber-
dan, of Paterson, and seven other
Paterson taxpayers, who claimed
that the expenditure of S6,000,00 for
a tunnel under the bay was a waste

Tanks as Expensive as Tunnel.
The Paterson interests suggested
that the sewage be completely puri-
fed by the Imhoff septic tank system
Vice Chancellor Backes ruled that
the installation of the Imhoff tanks
would probably cost as much as the
tunnel and would need more repairs
