WHO owns RIVERS?
DR.. BR|EN INQUIRIES
Orange Physician Says Camp
ers Monopolize Streams in
J. Vicinity of Singao.

In a letter to the Evening Star. DR..
William M. Brien, of Orange, calls
attention to a practise of preventing
persons from entering the PassaiG
and Pequannock rivers at Singac
and other points in the vicinity, and
asks if the State has transferred au-
thority to persons who rent spaces
for camps and canoes. Complaints
made to DIR. Brien by Orange camp
ers, he explains, prompted him to
write the letter. A son of the ply
stefan, who was formerly mayor of
West Orange, had an experience this
week, and the physician has also seen
people forbidden to enter the rivers.
His letter follows:
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-I wish to call your attention
10 a condition that now exists along
the Passaic and Pequannock rivers
from Singac to Mountain View ana
beyond. For many years people have
camped along the banks of the rivers
without molestation, until now thou
sands go camping and boating in the
vicinity. But lately approach to the
streams has been denied the public
II YOU wish a place to launch your
canoe you must hire a. stall for it in
q boathouse at the usual price of IS
a year. If you wish to camp you
must pay for the privilege or you
will be notified to leave.
As the rivers are the property of
the State, it seems to me that there
must be public approaches that all
could use. Also there must be State
lands upon which citizens could
camp.
Would you kindly enlighten us on
this question through your valuable
paper? And if private parties are
occupying State rights of way and
lands, to the exclusion of the general
public, will you help in ending the
discrimination? Respectfully yours,
W. NJ. BRIEN.
