REFUSE FROM CANNING PLANT ENDANGERS FISH Shelbyville Company Joins in Effort to Save Stream Pollution. Thera is insufficient -water in Little Blue Elver in Shelby County to carry off the volume of organic matter from corn packing prrc. sses and dumped into the stream by the Fame Canning Company at Shelbyville, according to a report of John C. Diggs, sanitary engineer, filed with Richard Lieber. director of the State conservation department. Overloading this stream with this organic matter is unquestionably a very decided burden on it and will result during low water stages in a reduction in the oxygen content of the water sufficient to kill the fish, the report says. Vt. Diggs and owners of the canning factory now are engaged in working out a process whereby the stream will be relieved of much polluting wastes. At the instigation of the State conservation commission now engaged in a campaign to cleanse and purify waters of the State, Engineer Diggs is making a survey of much of Indiana's water courses, cooperating with owners of industrial and manufacturing plants, municipalities and private citizens responsible to a very considerable extent for stream pollntiCD. In several instances he has found, Mr. Lieber declares, where municipalities run sewage into public waters without making an effort toward reducing it prior to it entering the stream. This particular form of waste is highly dangerous to public health, being inducive to typhoid, and it is with the desire to cleanse public waters of this menacing source of pollution as well as the contaminating wastes from factories .which causes the death of all aquatic life, that the conservation department continues its fight for purer waterways. At Waldron., Shelby County. Mr. Diggs found that Cons Creek, while polluted to some extent by wastes from the E. G. Canning Company, the escaping

solids were not in sufficient quantity to injure aquatic life. Regarding the pollution of Blue River by wastes from the Union Starch ftlrup and Refining Company at Edinburg, the report says immediate reduction in the discharge of this waste is demanded if it is hoped to maintained the stream in a rendition which to any extent approaches normal. Obviously the ideal situation would be the installation of a plant process which would permit the recovery of valuable material now lost through plant drains, the report points out.
