Povey; representative of the Port-. land chamber of commerce. Kast- rrn Oregon Was not represented In the list of officern or appoint ments. Dr. W. T. Phy.' Hot Lake sani tarium, acting as chairman, asked DrJ C. J. Smith of Portland to make a brief statement in which he declared that many mt the cities 1 along the Willamette river. In-! eluding West Ltnn and Milwaukie, were emptying sewage Into the river without even the formality of obtaining a license. In attempt ing to correct this condition before the river "turned black with dew age," as rivers in the east have. Dr. Smith commended the state board of health and the fish and game commission in railing the meeting. The main problem be ing faced, he stated, was to per suade voting of needed funds to finance proper sen-age dispoial. , Governor .Walter M. Pierce de clared a special tax should be vot ed to help finanee correct sewage disposal. rutf - "I shall recommend :to the next legislature that it vote some legis lation for a -special tax fo help finance the antl-pollutlon work. I advise that you tie the responsi bility for the work on some cer tain person, so that yon will be sure to get action.'.' George L. Baker, mayor of Port land, declared he had come to list en, learn and cooperate, but that he did not feel in position to ad vise. Willis S. Moore, assistant attorney-general, stated that the legal phase of the problem had not yet received prominence, hut thai when It did, he would be glad to assist. . ' "The courts are inclined to be liberal in such matters," he de clared, "and If it Is founH that a menace to public health exists, they will undoubtedly rule n favor -t corrective meaf-ures." Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, state health-officer, slated that purifica tion by running' water was om of the recognized methods of sewage Sfaposal, but that it was Ineffec tive, frequently. The Willamette river is fast reaching the satur ition point, he warned, making increased use of other disposal methods imperative. Following his address. Dr. Strieker moved that a permanent committee of five'men be. appoint ed to organize a stream pollution league," and that it act immedi ately. The motion was passed and Dr; Phy appointed Dr. C. J. Smith chairman; George L. Baker, of Portland. David Robinson. E. U. Lee, mayor of Eugene, Dr. V. H. Robnett, mayor of Albany, and Rhea Luper, state engineer. While this committee was In private session three-minute talks were given by delegates, showing imperative need of measures to halt etream pollution,. though few suggestion? as to method were ad vanced. Among those who spoke were 11. 13. Koon of -' Portland, . Mrs. Fanny Green of Aurora, H. H. Corey, of the public service com mission,. B. P: Taylor of Salem, A. L.

Strieker, state health officer; O. Laurgaard. Port lttnd city engineer; A. K. ' McMa han of Albany. David Robison of Portland and Dr. E. B. Pickel of Medford. Officers of the new league were then elected. A suggestion was made that eastern Oregon bo given a place oh the executive committee, but dele gates from that section deelaret. they were satisfied with the selec tion made, as the sewage. problem uf that section was not acute." ' v W. C. Crews, city manager of I a Grande, and L. R. StocKman of Raker, consulting engineer for the LaGrardo wwage disposal plant, described the plant there. A bond isxue of $103,000 had been voter tc finance the disposal plant and its upkeep has been found to be approximately 3l0 a month. The system consists of a Door clarlflei, sprinkler, digester and settling tank, and the effluent from if. is as clear as river water. The meet ing adjourned sine die. , Due to the decision to cancel the afternoon's program, which, it had been understood, would be marked by a careful survey of present pollution, but as the re sult of city sewers and industrial refuse, many representatives who bad been delayed arriving too late tc participate in the discussion. Commenting npon the morning's session, J. H. Hall of Albany, first vice president of the new league, declared that any attempt 'to force a drastic program -upon cities of western Oregon would mean "fln r.neial suicide." To "support this statement, he cited the 12 sewers at Albany which now empty into the Willamette river, declaring funds to improve sewer disposal methods would have to be voted by the people, and stated that only after a period of years would they consent to expend the sum neces sary to provide scientific sewage disposal. Salem, with four sewers empty ing into the - Willamette, has a sinking fund already established looking forward to creation ot a disposal system, but the probable necessity of placing -a nevf 'trunk sewer under Church street itfr$ which the present sewers will be drained, the entire volume being carried to si section north of the city where a disposal plant will be established In the future.mdF cates the problem faced here. Medford, with a disposal Sys tem established at a coF.t of $5400 In 1912, is probably least affected by the pollution problem, accord ing to F. W. Scheffler, city super intendent, who arrived too late to show blue prints of the Medford disposal plaut, of 313,00a-ga$lonn capacity, designed to care for the sewage of a city of 10,000. fropn-' lation. Refuse, collected in the tank, is hauled away by farmers for fertilizer on irrigated lands, he stated, though no charge is made at the' present time for the fertilizer. The object of the league, as stated in the constitution, follows: "To foster and aid the enact ment and enforcement of adequate lemedies and legislation to prevent the pollution of the waterways of the state of Oregon, and to secure cooperation of those responsible for such pollution in accomplishing- its elimination by all lawful means." .
