Opposition May Carry Bronx Valley Case to Courts. Organizations which have opposed the proposed Bronx Valley sewer plan* were much disappointed yesterday on learning that the plans have been approved by the State Engineer and State Health Commissioner. The plans allow for a trunk sewer through Weatchester County, emptying Into tiia Hudson Itlver near Tankers. The Merchants' As sociation, the New York Board of Trade and Transportation and the Harbor Pollution Commis sion appointed by Mayor McClellan have opposed tiie plans. Edward Hatch, Jr., chairman of the committee on th« pollution of New York State waters of the Merchants' Association, said yesterday: We are not <::••■- in ted a lit. This action on the part of the He Ith Commissioner will demonstrate In one way the absolute Inefficiency of the State Department of Health. There was nothing in lie Attorney General's decision to warrant the i.'om mlsElosier of Health i«i granting his approval of th.< construction cf the Bronx Valley sewer without 6.. inn method for a certain degree of purification treatment of the raw sewage being provided. The powers of the Health Commissioner are prescribed and defined by the Public Health law. and the pre sumption is that t.^e law required that the plans of the Bronx sewer be submitted to the State Com missioner of Health so that he light with respect to them esercla-? powers which are conferred upon him by the Pucllc Health law. Among those pow ers is the right to withhold bis permit, .-x- .-i • ip m "modiScatlons. regulations and conditions'' pre ecrlbert by him. It would seem he has the right to prescribe any "modlflcatlons, regulations and cdn'dl tions" calculated to preserve the hr>nltk of, tho people and not excluded by the net of 1905. Although eectlon i of the Bronx Sewer •"'orrm;." plon ect provides for the "preventing of the pollu tion of the streams In the Bronx valley, in the County of Weetchest* r. - nd preserving the health of the people of Westehester County." the com missioner Koes away around Robin Hood's barn and ipior»s tre very essence of his lawful authority and prescribes future healthful conditions for the people of the Bronx Valley and disregards the rlerhts of other citizens of the etate. It is evident tho Legislature, faillnsr to provide, for a disposal plant, did not contemplate the nul- Fnnce to be created and the consequent Injury to the health and property of other citizens of the etpte. and It clearly became his duty- in my J-.idar ment—as the official guardian of the publio health.
