To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen-SAs your Honorable Body
IL aware, sessions of the Joint Inter-
national Commission appointed to con-
slider the pollution OF boundary waters
were held In this City and Windsor
during the past week. IL seems to be
conceded that pollution exists, not only
by the members OF the Commission but
by our own Health Department as well
and the discussion seems to be taking
on the form OF an inquiry AS to the
best methods to be recommended to
City Officials to correct existing condi-
lions. No definite plan or investiga-
tion with this end In view has been
made by the officials or the City OF
Detroit consequently no data was at
hand or facts which could be presented
to the Commission In concrete form.
In view OF the Importance OF the mat
ter tt would seem desfrabfe that some
investigation should be made by De-
troit City officials as to what means Of
disposal or treatment OF our sewage II
any should be undertaken In order that
discussed at future sessions Of the joint
International Commission which will
undoubtedly be held here.
Il To start the matter would recon-
mend the appropriation OF 100000 TO
be expended under the supervision OF
this Department. and the reference Of
this communication to YOUR COMMITTEES
on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted.
