now Is poured annually into the Po-

commended by Asa e. Phillips, super
intendent Of the District sewer depart
ment. in his annual report to the Com
missioners.
With the statement that $4,000, 900
gallons of untreated sewage was dis
charged into the Potomac from the
District last year. Mr.. Phillips de-
clares that 1t Is not too soon to begin
preparation of plans for sewage treat
ment works for the removal and utili-
cation of such material in the future.
Already a preliminary study for tho
proposed plant has been made. but, &C
cording to the sewer department Off
cial, several years will be required for
complete development of the plans. It
is important, however. he points out,
that suitable area Of sufficient size
for the sewerage treatment works be
obtained without delay.
The present condition Of Potomac wa
ter. as compared with conditions else
where, Is exceptionally good. Mr.. Phil
lips states. Examinations of the river
bottom showed no evidence of sludge
below the sewerage outlets, while the
shores and beaches were free from
any Objectionable conditions.

Mr.. Phillips again calls attention to
the serious condition facing the Dis
trict in the pollution Of local streams
