Maj. Gotwals pointed out yesterday that even though a sewage disposal plant were built below Blue Plains, where District sewage now is emptied into the Potomac, this alone would not entirel, g eliminate pollution of Rock Creek an the Anacostia River. He pointed out; there is a natural drainage of pollution into both these streams which would not be entirely eliminated, even though the District were able to provide needed ! sanitary sewers in the areas of the two streams to replace combination system sewers now in use.
