342 for the construction of treatment works to prevent the dis- charge by such state or municipality of untreated or inade- quately treated sewage or other waste into interstate waters or tributaries.126 For this purpose, the statute authorizes ap- propriation of $22,500,000 annually in the 1948-1953 period.127 But no funds have yet been appropriated for this purpose. A similar authorization of $1,000,000 per year is included for payments to states for conducting investigations, research, surveys, and studies related to the prevention and control of water pollution caused by "industrial wastes."128 And a like authorization for a sum of $1,000,000 is provided for grants to states, municipalities, or interstate agencies to finance engi- neering, architectural, and economic investigations and other actions preliminary to construction of projects approved by the state agency and the Surgeon General.129 Noteworthy also is an authorization of appropriations for the erection of re- search facilities at Cincinnati, Ohio, for the use of the Public Health Service.130 Because of its importance both to the subject of pollution and the possibility of its control through interstate compact, reference is made here to the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Appeals in West Virginia, in the case of State ex rel. Dyer v. Sims, already discussed in some detail.131 Collection of Basic Data Successful and efficient water-resource development pro- grams depend in part upon adequate and reliable data. This includes general information such as that relating to popula- tion, housing, farming, manufacturing, foreign trade, and com- merce collected by the Bureau of the Census and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, as well as data more ™ § 5, 62 Stat. 1158, as amended, 33 U.
