B|2 / I Water Pollution Bill Signed Into Law by the President The Chamber of Commerce was informed this week by telephone from the office of Congressman Blatnik in Washington that President Eisenhower signed into law the water pollution control bill (S-890) ,on Monday, July 9. Signing of the bill ended a long but successful fight both inside and oustide of Congress to win approval of the legislation. The bill, also known as the Blatnik bill, extends and strengthens the present Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The pollution bill was first passed in the Senate and sent to the House where it was re written by Congressman Blatnik of Minnesota, assisted by Mrs. Iris Blitch, Bth District Congress woman. The House version of the bill carried federal funds for alloca tion to smaller cities for the building of sewerage disposal plants. Considerable effort was made in the House to delete this fund from the bill. Effort by the local Chamber of Commerce and Con servation League helped to pre vent the fund provision from be ing taken out of the bill. The measure passed the House, 213- 165. It was then sent to a con ference committee of Senate and House members where S-890 and HR-9540 could be consoli dated. While the bill was in con ference, the administration made every effort to get the annual SSO million appropriation out of the bill. Effort from South Geor gia was a factor in helping to prevent this from happening. When the bill was finally sent to the President, signature was held up for several days and again the Chamber of Commerce and Conservation Laegue went into action to urge the President’s approval. Delay in the President’s office also caused the funds for the bill to be left out of the budget approved on July 6. However, every effort is being made to get the Senate to include funds for this bill in their regular approp riation. The amount of money to be allocated in Georgia for the next ten years is $1,131,450 per year for sewerage disposal plants. Sev eral weeks will be required to iron out details so that cities may apply for the funds. A recent survey made by the Agricultural Extension Service shows that daughters of artific ially-bred dams averaged 806 pounds of milk and 21 pounds of butterfat more than theirs dams.

H. “Tommy” Thompson, Georgia chairman of the nation wide “Slow Down and Live” campaign has asked all motorists to remember the facts about automobile speed. “Speed is the number one highway killer.” Mr. Thompson said. “While other factors cer tainly enter the accident picture the fact remains that auto speed killed 12,700 people in 1955. Speed injured some 715 thou sand others.” Mr. Thompson pointed out that according to the AAA text book, “Sportsmanlike Driving,” if a car with good brakes is traveling 25 miles per hour on a dry concrete surface and the reaction time of the driver is average, it will take a little over 60 feet for the car to stop after danger has been sighted by the driver. Under the same conditions if the car travels 60 miles per hour it takes over 272 feet to stop after sighting danger. “It’s simple,” he said. “The faster you’re traveling, the long er it takes you to stop. Some times it takes so long that you can’t avoid hitting another car or a child who has dashed into the street.
