River Pollution To Be Investigated By State Commission
Reports of excessive tannery wastes in the Greenbrier River will be investigated by the State Water Commission. John Lester, executive secretary and engineer, said he will check on complaints that two tanneries in Marlinton and Frank have discharged wastes that discolored the stream and appeared to kill fish. Local sportsmen have lodged complaints with the attorney general and written to the governor and State Conservation Commission. Assistant Attorney General Angus E. Perron said he received a letter from Rupert sportsman Elgin P. Meece and will refer it to the Water Commission, noting lodging complaints with that agency is proper. Meece said water discoloration this year exceeded previous years. The tanneries have cooperated with the commission in clean-up efforts.
