Continuing or. Dixon says a local authorities should realize that the discharge of sewage is a temporary privilege Aud that ultimately the sewage must be discontinued from going into state Waters. How Long that time shall be we cannot say today but if the Borough should re ase or neglect to comply with tiie conditions of the permit and went of to build sewers and did build them in Defiance of the conditions of the permit then on the first Day of july 1910, when the permit expires there would be a penalty for every Day beyond that Lime in which the town continued to put sewage into the River.
