gallons of sewage daily and that no
system Of sewage disposal yet proposed
could effectively prevent some of this
sewage from getting into New York
city's water supply.
II 1t cost the state $1,000. 900 to
avoid this contamination the expendi-
ture would be- imperative. The Lecisla-
ture cannot consider dollars in deciding
it's policy upon questions Of life and
health.
Il am confident that for less than
si25,0 the state can replace every
thing il now owns on Mohansic Lake
AZ some point near tidewater where no
disposal plant or pumping station Will
be necessary.
There is substantial agreement
among engineers that any pipe lin" the
state mag construct to carry sewage
from Manhansic Lake will be subject to
leakage. Estimates as 10 the amount
Of this leakage vary from 2 sci cont to
q per cent. OF from $1,000 TO $4,000
gallons daily,
The pipe line from Mohansic must
he carried nearly four miles through
the city watershed. Leakage from
this pipe will th."fore md its way
INTO Croton Lake and from 'roton Lake
into the city aqu"duct.
Even IL this sewage were harmless
no resident OF NV I'lh ~ N''N'
care to drink water polluted 10y it. But
I, is "A matter Of common knowledge
that the germs Of communicable dis
eases are frequently found in the sew
age from institutions u as are con-
,empla,ed Oh MOhansic Lake To per-
nit any pipe line TO he constructed is
to threaten the people OF New York city
with whatever diseases. such as typhoid
fever, may appear at the Mohansic state
Hospital or the Yorktown FRAMING
school.
II shall certainly urge the passage of
legislation to remove these Institutions
from the watershed
