River Murray Commission
River Murray Commission: liability for expenditure incurred in prevention of pollution: treatment of waters of Hume Reservoir with copper sulphate: expenditure incidental to carrying out of terms of Agreement
RIVER MURRAY WATERS AGREEMENT 1915 BETWEEN the COMMONWEALTH of AUSTRALIA and the STATES of NEW SOUTH WALES, VICTORIA and SOUTH AUSTRALIA
I am in receipt of your letter herein of 20th August, No. R.M.C. 1582, in which you request advice as to the liability for expenditure incurred in the prevention of pollution, such as the treatment of the waters of the Hume Reservoir with copper sulphate.
I think that such expenditure is to be regarded as an expenditure incidental to the carrying out of the terms of the Agreement, and the amount of such expenditure is to be borne by the Contracting Governments in accordance with the provisions of Part IV of the Agreement.(1)
