upstream flow. In order to determine
the fluctuation in meteorological pol
luton from month to month the
| meteorological content of the river
will be obtained from the records of
the filtration plant.
Under the hydrometric phase of the
investigation will be determined the
flow of the Potomac River, the volume
| of flow contributed by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal and the same data for
Rock Creek Park. The upstream
tidal flow from the main sewage out
let will be determined by float meas
urements. This consists of putting
a fair-sized log in the river, weighted
so that it will just submerge, in order
to get away from any wind action,
and measuring the distance it flows
upstream during any period. Tidal
gauges will be placed at Haines Point,
the railroad bridge and the Key
Bridge to determine the fluctuations
of the tides.
Data on the Soundings of the river
bottom in this area will be obtained
from the other Government bureaus
mentioned for the purpose of com
putting the volume of flow through
out the channel. The points where
the cross section samples are to be
taken have been mapped on a large
in computing the other hydrometric
features.
Work Started July Is.
Under the sanitary survey division
all sewers contributing both sanitary
sewage and industrial wastes are be-
ing located and the principal indus
trial wastes added throughout the
channel is being determined as nearly
as possible. This information is be-
ing obtained from the District sani-
tary engineer.
Estimates are to be made of the
populations tributary to the various
sewer districts which discharge either
continuously or at times during which
interceptor overfiows are in action.
During the two-week period that
samples of the water will be taken
Mr.. Allen will take about Is or 20
samples a day, taking these in the
morning and conf1ning the afternoon
work to studying the various data
which must be collected to complete
the investigation. The samples, after
being taken, are sent to the hyglenlc
laboratory of the United States Pub
lie Health Service at Twenty-fifth and
E streets northwest, where they are
being analyZed.
The actual work of taking the sam
pies was begun on July Is, but, as
stated, was stopped on account of the
fact that the boat was not available.
During this time Mr.. Allen is study
ing the sewer systems and the data.
Rock Creek Blamed.
1t is yet too early in the investiga-
ton to reach any conclusion, but what
is believed to be one source of much
pollution is Rock Creek at the point
where it goes over the dam into the
Potomac River. A reporter for The
Star was taken to this point and large
bubbles constantly breaking on the
surface pointed out. 1t appeared jas
boiling water. To the trained eye of
the sanitary engineer, it was said, this
indicated a heavy deposit of sludge,
and the bubbles indicated fermenta-

MFR. Zumbrunn, national attorney for

According to the Denver paper, the
klansmen, if they were flying to
Denver, would have to have left
Washington yesterday morning. Both
the Army Air Service and the Bureau
of Aeronautics of the Navy declared
last night no application had been
made to them for aircraft for the
flight and that no civilians had gone

where they have made a study of
this, but expect to reach it in short
time.
After the collection of all the water
samples, and while they are being
analyZed in the laboratory, the other
data will be collected, and then the
float studies will be made to deter

any.
DR.. Draper estimated that it would
take until about the middle of Sep
