Stream Control Commission
Holds Club Oyer 4 Towns

LANSING, May "a - (R-
The State Stream Control Com
mission, believing the time is
not far off when the new con-
struction may begin, held q
club Wednesday over the heads
of four communities it accused
of polluting public water sup
plies.
Adopting its sternest tone
with the city of Saginaw, the
Commission ordered that city to
complete a $500, 900 sewage
collection and disposal system
by June /, 1851, subject to four
conditions.
Those were: That the work
be started in April, l945, and
be carried out in equal amounts
annually in the intervening
years; that the Commission will
consider an extension of time If
materials of labor remain una
valuable; that the city submit a
revised construction program
complying with the order by
April, 1946. and that any "un-
excused failure to complete
any annual portion of the pro-
gram will entitle the Commits
sion to ask the courts to enioin
the city from further pollution
and place the remainder of the
program under court jurisdic-
ton.
Milton p Adams, commission
secretary, said the city had SUBJ
mitted 10-year construction
program in 1888 and we are still
waiting for the first unit.
He described the new order
as an extension of the Commits
sion's previous order which had
called for the submission Of
completed plans by next Sep
TENDER and the completion Of
construction within two years
after the end of the war.
Asserting the village of Es-
seville was insisting its right
to place sewage in the Saginaw
Bay and river, the Commission
gave the village Is days in
which to file report on its
plans for proper disposal. The
village was declared formally
to be violating State Law.
The Commission said it would
institute court action within a
month unless the city of Cadil-
lac reported immediate compli-
ance with a previous commit
