POLLUTION OF RIVERS.
“The multiplication of garages usually swilled out every morning, sends oil in ever greater quantities into public sewers or storm-water drains; if it does not actually destroy the fish in the rivers, or drive them back to the sea; it spoils the gravel banks and sedges where immature fish find their food,” says the “Lancet.” “Aiv we devoting enough time and money to research? Are we solving the problems cf particular trade effluents, trade by trade? Cannot more be done to fixstandards and enforce them ? Can we not make up our minds what is the duty of the local authority in respect of providing means of disposal, and whether the trader is or is not to have a right to discharge his waste into pub lie sewers?”
