diana in hating pollution Of Lake
Michigan. due to sewage poured into
IL from the Calumet district. was

of Illinois.
Lake county cities and industries
were blamed for the large part OF
the pollution by Horner. who said

in Indiana areas bordering the lake.
"A widespread water-borne cpl
demic would be disastrous at this
time and would be an added finan-
cial burden upon the public" Hor-
ner wrote. Some way to stop this
great hazard must be found.
Il can not believe that when In
diana and its municipalities and
industries involved are informed Of
the gravity of the situation that
prompt, energetic action will be
taken in your state to solve this
pollution problem"
Horner also said he will ask the
federal government to make a sur
vey Of the pollution Of Indiana orr
gin, but suggested that action be
taken Immediately without awaiting
reports of the federal survey.
McNutt said he has ordered a re-
port on the matter from engineers

teer police force 10 see 10 il that
Blue Eagle employers observe both

bands big offensive.
AS chairman of the consumers
protective board she will receive and
act on complaints from 100000
people, more or less, who find prices
altered as a result If the re-em-

Mrs. Roosevelt invited people to
write and tell her how they are get
ting along under her husbands new
deal and Mrs. Johnson will hear
about the results of her husbands
gigantic enterprise.

different duties which equally are
essential to success of the recovery

1t will educate the public to ex-
pect an increase in prices as re-
suit of increased pay rolls.
