Mr. JENNINGS. I am mayor of the city of St. Clair.
Mr. TAWNEY. Have you or your sanitary engineers received the report
of our consulting engineers with respect to remedying the pollution
of these waters?
Mr. JENNINGS. We have.
Mr. TAWNEY. Have you any suggestions or criticisms?
Mr. JENNINGS. No.
Mr. TAWNEY. Or any statement you would wish to make?
Mr. JENNINGS. I was in hopes we would have the engineer with us
to-day. He is not here. I presume he will be here this afternoon. It
has been placed in his hands, and he assured me he would be here to
present his views this afternoon. The superintendent of the electric
light and waterworks understands the situation better than I do.
Mr. TAWNEY. You have had the report studied by your engineer?
Mr. JENNINGS. It has been placed in the hands of Mr. C. L. Weil; he
is not our engineer, but is the consulting engineer of the Diamond
Crystal Salt Works, and it may be he will be here right after lunch.
