Section 8 of the anti-pollution
law passed by the legislature in
1912 states:
ut shall be unlawful for any
person to discharge or permit
to be discharged into any of the
rivers, streams, or lakes or other
waters of the state any waste
or any pollution of any kind that
will tend to destroy fish or other
aquatic life"
Years Grace Given
The statute of 1912 provided
that an offending plant would
be given a reasonable length of
time" to make provisions for
treatment or naturalization of
its industrial wastes after hav-
ing been warned to do so by the
state game and fish commission
In 1914 at the instance of for
mer Governor Hugh White who
founded the balance agriculture
with industry movement in
the state and who was interest
ed in sound conservation prae-
tees, the reasonable time pro-
vision was defined as "one year
after notification by the game
and fish commission. This clear
ed up a weak point of the law.
In March of 1914 Masonite, along
with other offending plants
throughout the state, was in
Structed to correct its practice of
dumping wastes that were pollut-
ing the river system.
In June of this year, three
months after the one-year period
of grace ended. a slug of badly
polluted water from the Mason
lite plant moved from Tallahala
creek into the Leaf and Pasca-
goula rivers killing out practi-
cally all fish life passed over on
the way to the gulf. Tons Of
fish were killed and collected IN
sinking ass on the sandbars
between Laurel and a few miles
above Pascagoula. Shrimp were
seen crawling onto the sandbars
in an effort to get air, and
sportsmen in this region count
ed more than a dozen species
among the dead fish floating in
the river.
Condition Worst Since 1886"

submitted TO Director w. l..
Dearman of the state game and
fish commission that the Ma
sonite effluent should be exclud-
ed completely from Tallahala
creek if complete destruction of
the fish fauna of Tallahala creek
and of the Leaf and Pascagoula
rivers is to be avoided" Even
during the months when there
r no Spectacular killings of
fish he said, the fish are being
damaged and weakened by the
constant flow of this waste and
their natural foods are being
killed out. The streams are also
being gradually polluted for
miles below the plant by the de-
post of a mat of rotting wood
fibers on the banks and bot
toms, he said.
DR.. Ellis said that the waste
could be treated by the 'evapora-
tion-incineration method which
he said was being used success
fully in several powder plants.
All of the chemical reports, in
GLIDING those offered by the Ma
sonite corporation, asserted that
the fish yer not killed by the
wood fibers primarily but by dis
solved wood sugars which abb
sorbed the oxygen in the streams.
He said that methods of treat
ment" which did not directly re-
move these oxygen-hungry wood
sugars can be or necessity only
partly successful, if at all"
Spurred by the angered pro-
test of individuals ana citizen
groups on these streams below
Laurel, the office of Attorney
General Greek L. Rice last week
filed a civil suit for an injunc-
ton prohibiting the continued
discharge of these wastes in vio-
lation of the law.
Attorney General Rice said
that any question of indicting the
Masonite corporation for past
violations. making it liable for
the fines provided, would be left
to the county attorneys and
grand juries of the counties af-
fected. County Attorney L. K.
Mcintosh of Jackson county has
announced that he will seek in
dictments at the fall session of
the jury.
Matthew P. Mccullough, pres
ident of the Masonite corpora

sippi editors assembled at Lau-

what it should have done" in
the past but that under his re-
gime this policy of non-eoopera-
ton would be changed and that
"a quarter of a million Collar
program would be instituted TO
solve the plants pollution prob
lem.
Nr, Mccullough did not reveal
the actual means which this pro-
gram called for, and in reply to
the repeated request of the
Chronicles Star for this informa-
ton he wired this newspaper
that Masonic does not consider
itself as sidestepping criticism in
this matter or failing to fulfill a
