Ind., July 0. State Game and Fish Commissioner Z. T. Sweeney, his chief deputy, K. K. Earle, and another deputy, Roy King, were in Mundo to-day after having investigated, at the Instance of farmers, the condition of Delaware county streams resulting from the dumping of strawboard refuse. They say there is no doubt that thousands of P.sh have been killed by the foul refuse of the mills and that many more are likely to die. The last Legislature enacted a law permitting the State Board of Health, at its discretion, to issue permits to manufacturers to dump refuse into running streams during high water. When the fish commissioner calls upon these; manufacturers and prepares to bring criminal proceedings against them for killing fish, the manufacturers acknowledge their acts, but show their permits. The commissioner is then powerless. The farmers who have been fighting the strawboard companies for many years are preparing to test the constitutionality of the law that gives the health board power to allow the streams to be polluted. At a meeting of farmers held yesterday David Bronnenberg was appointed to gather evidence for Commissioner Sweeney against the strawboard and pulp companies, this evidence to be used in damnce suits which will be brought. In there damage suits the constitutionality of the recent legislative act will be attacked. NVntcr Pollution nt ninfTton. Si-eclai to the Indianapolis Jjurnal. JJLUFFTON, Ind.. July !.
