AMEND ACTION
ON POLLUTION
Hearings Held at Washington
WANT Commerce Dept.
to Have Control

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12:-The
committee on rivers and harbors of
the House of Representatives con-
tinued on Wednesday and Thursday
Of last week the hearings on III. K.
1862 introduced by Congressman L.
Frank Appleby, making illegal the
pollution Of the n~avigable waters of
the United States. So many Witness
es appeared both for and against
the bill that the chairman of the
committee appointed subcommittee
to make an exhaustive study of the
matter. The principal opposition to
this legislation came from coal min
ing interests and manufacturing or
PLANTATIONS with plants along inland
navigable waters and their tribu-
taries d~ischarging acid waste and
other refuse matter deleterious to
animal life in these waters. The
testimony as to the poisonous effects
of this waste matter was so conflict
scientific study of the subject before
enacting legislation affecting it.
Secretary Hoover appeared before
the committee and advised that i'm
mediate steps be taken to prevent
pollution of waters at important har-
bors, and along the ocean front
where the fishing industry was in
volved, but suggested that legislation
should be confined at present to oil
pollution. The secretary agreed
with Congressman Appleby in the
efforts he is making to secure this
legislation. Inc told the committee
that oil pollution is not only Destroy
ing fish. but is proving a tremendous
fire hazard and seriously damaging
the bathing beaches.
Congressman Appleby asked that
the administration of this legislation
be transferred from the War De-
partment of Commerce., and called
the attention of the committee to
the fact hat during past three or
four years a number of fragrant
cases of dumping refuse oil in nav
igable waters had been brought to
the attention of the war depart
ment. but the Corps of engineers,
mainly through lack of necessary
equipment, had been unable to deal
with the matter in a satisfactory
manner. For this reason he thought
it best to transfer the administra-
ton of tho law, when enacted, to
the Department of Commerce. Some
; days e the congressman had a
conference with Secretary Hoover.
Senator Frelinghuysen and Solicitor
Lamb of the Department of Com
merce. when the matter was dis
cussed very thoroughly. and they
were all of the opinion that the law.
should be administered by that de-
partment. At the conclusion of the
hearings Mr.. Appleby offered the
following bill as an amendment to
his original bill III. II. 1869 las COW
ering the more recent conclusions
of the most desirable immediate
legislation. He also had incorporat-
ed In the hearings a cut of the
petroleum harbor at Amsterdam.
He also hadS0rwy iitSddHifumcl.k
The Netherlands. with a descrip-
ton of the same, a similar one
cow being under discussion for
New York harbor.
