taking the applause of his small

about the cooperation between
States bordering the river and in
dustries operating in the basin te
clean up the polluted area.
Considerable progress already has
been made toward correcting the
pollution menace. Johns Hopkins

of aeration basins in lessening pol.
luton.
Industrial Viewpoint Sought.
The commission is expected tt
have a report at this meeting o.

out the basin to aid in the setting
up of water testing stations.
These stations, it was pointed out

at all times the exact condition o.
| all sections of the Potomac. Thi.

!! to the pollution abatement prob
lem.
The commission also is expected
to hear report on acid mine watel
and methods of sealing abandoned
mines to correct this condition
