POLLUTION Joint International Commission Will Meet in Ottawa, Canada, First of Next Month. LAKE SHORE IS INTERESTED decided that under Article IX of the treaty, which provides that "any ques- tion of difference arising between the two governments involving the rights and obligations of either in relation to the other or to the inhabitants of the other along the common boundary between the United States and Can- ada shall be referred from time to time to the international joint com- mission for examination and report," made legislative action unnecessary, especially when both governments agreed to submit the question. ANOTHER PLAYGROUND FOR EVANSTON At the meeting of th€ international joint commission, which meets in Ottawa, Canada, on Oct. 1, action may be taken which will prohibit all the cities on the great lakes from dump- ing their sewage into the lake. At the present time Chicago is the only city that does not pump its sewage into the same body of water from which it secures its drinking water. If the commission should rule that it is dangerous to empty the sewage into Ijbe lake it would effect all the north shore municipalities from Ev- anston north. At title meeting the commission will begin*at once to formulate a program for the investigation of the pollution of th$; great lakes and other bound- ary waters between the United States and Canada. This, according to meinbers of the joint commission, has become the most pressing of all the problems confronting the welfare of the.: two countries. That possible result of the meeting of me international commission should tend to hasten the negotia- tions now going on between the mem- bers of the Evanston city council and the officers of the sanitary district relative to finding a solution of di- verting the sewage of Evanston from the lake to the sanitary canal. i Will Investigate. . Under instructions issued by the United States and Canada the inter- national joint commission will in- vestigate to what extent and by what causes and in what localities the boundary waters have been so pol- luted as to be injurious to the public health and unfit for domestic or other uses, and in what manner it is pos- sible ;tb prevent the pollution of the water* Under article IV of the water ways treaty of Jan. 11, 1909, between the Uniteil States and Great Britain, the two nations agree that the boundary waters and waters flowing across the boundary shall not be polluted on either,side to the injury of health or proper|y on-the other. "Chicago is the only city on the lakes that does not turn its sewage back Into the source of its water sup- ply," said an official of the interna- tional joint commission. "All other lake fifties draw their water supply from £he same source where they empty! their sewage." r Have Sent Requests. The)secretaries of the international joint .commission, by direction of Chairman Tawney in this country and Chairman Casgrain in Canada, have jient requests to the mayors of all cities along the international bounty for data regarding their water-supply and sewerage systems, le expectation >â-  that much of formation will-be ready to sub- [the commission when it meets iwa the first Tuesday in Octo- with this mit fn O ber. Thtf international joint commission, by Jrticle IX of the treaty with Great^jBrltain., is authorized to examine the f&ts and circumstances of ques- tions Referred to it^and report such sions and recommendations as appropriate: The reports mimission are not binding de but are 'recommendations may furnish the basis for reciprocal legislation by the govern- ment** of the United States and Can- -'* '4- '-i t 7%Treaty Gives Authority. ! Sefiral bills - were introduced in both rehouse and senate at the last fessiili of congress to authorize the j^tertetionat joint ^commission to In- yestigfrte this, question and some of Vocater of these bHls favored the commission power to act. ; state department and the for- William S. Mason, vice-president of the City National bank, is going to give another playground to the chil- dren of Evanston. At the council meeting Tuesday- permission was asked to close the alley in the block bounded by Lee and Main streets and Ashland and Florence avenues. The permit to have the alley closed revealed the fact that Mr. Mason was contemplating another gift of a play- ground to the city. He has already given the Mason Park and the Foster Field grounds, estimated to have cost him with grounds and buildings at least $60,000. The new playground will be situated in the same block as the Washington school. At the present time the chil- dren in that part of the city have no place for recreation. The new play- grounds will give them that which they have so long sought. The request for the closing of the alley was referred to the street com* mittee and it is expected that that committee will observe the request and have the alley closed. Mr. Mason would not state whether or not it is his intention to erect an- other playground. "I don't care to say anything until I learn whether or not the alley will be closed," was his only remark. "DEATH TURN" GETS ONE MORE VICTIM Another accident has occurred at the "death turn" at Ridge avenue and Emerson street, Evanston. Saturday afternoon, while turning his automo- bile on to Ridge avenue from Emer- son street, Mr. Greenwood E. Murch of 628 Milburn street col- lided with Frank Schulz, 1616 Maple avenue, who was riding his bicycle. Schulz was knocked to the pavement by the force of the collision. Mr. Murch stopped his car and hurried the injured man to the hospital. His con- dition is not considered serious. Murch was later arrested by the po- lice and charged with assault. He will have a hearing next week.
