Jersey Machines Needed to Clean Queens Sewers Harvey Replies to Charge of Hiring Outride Help for Borough Project Replying to criticism that Jersey equipment and labor was being used to clean Queens sewers, Capt. James Lunn, superintendent of sewer maintenance, stated today that the machine being employed was the only one of its type in existence and that an emergency demanded its use- "We have V000 basins to clean, Lunn said, "and only five machines owned by ths borough with which to do the work. These basins are blocked with refuse that must be removed or flooded conditions will result from storms. "The Healy sewer cleaning machine, which is manufactured in New Jersey, is the only equipment of its kind that will do the work fast enough. This equipment will clean as high as 20 basins a day, while laborers could only complete two.

Paced with the handicap of insufficient machines, we were compelled to hire three additional ones from the Healy Company. "An expert ts required to handle th-se machines. Therefore the Healy Cnmpanv provided operators for each machine at the flat sum of $25 a day. Special trucks, suitable for preventing the spread of odors, accompanied these machines. "We were compelled to hire the equipment because our budget request for five sewer-cleaning machines was denied.

The regulations governing the emergency em-plovmrnt fund expenditures provide that 60 percent be spent on labor and 40 percent on materials and equipment. If we were not able to hire equipment and buy materials there would be no work for the emergency laborers. However, I have directed the Healy Company to obtain New York licenses for both their machines and trucks and this has been done."
