M. A. Rollman, who owns land on both sides of the creek, made a complaint at Harrisburg for nu- merous reasons.

This firm runs its dye water into the Penna. story issue for age pipes at a point their mil. It is carr near ied underground Longenecker road and thence becomes surface water un- til it reaches the creek. During the past two weeks they laid iron pipes from Longenecker road to the creek.

Just what difference this should make we are unable to explain as it is a ‘violation of the law to per- mit industrial waste of any kind Railroad Company’s surface drain- to flow into any public stream.
