Of STREAMS
IS STEADILY INCREASING.
Sewage From Nearby Maryland
Communities May Soon Become
Nuisance, Says Phillips.

Pollution of small streams In the
District Of Columbia with sewage from
nearby Maryland communities is
steadily Increasing, and Is likely to
soon reach the point where 1t will con-
stitute nuisance. according to state
ments contained in the annual report
Of Asa e. Phillips, superintendent of
sewers Of the District. submitted to the
Commissioners yesterday.
Until sufficiently comprehensive
action is taken by the state Of Mary
land no definite recommendation can
be made for action by the District to
procure abatement Of the conditions,
ne asserts.
The Maryland sewerage problem as it
affects streams entering the District
through its park system has been caus-
ing Washington health authorities con-
cern for several years. Mr.. Phillips

streams is now very apparent and is

was prepared by the commission and
introduced In the Legislature which
convened In January, but no action
was taken by that body toward enact
Ing 1t into law.
Mr.. Phillips renews his former sug-
gestion that the only practical solution
OF the problem is believed to be in the
formation of a metropolitan district d.

national board. with power to con-
ors for the removal Of the sewage,

Exports and Imports

ONE evidence of the unfairncss Of anti
" administration critics is the effort to
attribute the decline in the value of exports
TO the operation of the Democratic tariff.
That to This law must be attributed much of
the Increase in imports is undcniable, and
10 that extent the tariff is responsible for
the decline in the excess OF exports over inn
ports. but ii is not responsible for the de-
cline IN the total value OF exports In the
first place. this value was greater than in any
previous year, except 1913 If it is due to the
lower tariff schedules that exports were OF less
value in 1914 than in 1913. TO what is due
the fact that they were OF greater value than
in 1912. and in previous years when the
tariff rates much higher than now?
