Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed preliminary report on the Saratoga Springs Commission between 1908-1909. The commission was formed to study the state of Saratoga Springs and what could be done to preserve them. They investigated the condition of the springs, the history of the springs, the controversies over the legal rights of the owners, the effects of pumping on the springs, and the experience of foreign governments and the United States government in dealing with similar problems. The report discusses the complexity of the issues, including the need to balance the interests of the village of Saratoga Springs, where these springs are located, with the interests of the state as a whole. The report concludes that, while Saratoga Springs had been a renowned spa town, excessive pumping by gas companies had negatively impacted the springs and that, while the state had an interest in preserving the springs, any large investment by the state was unwise until the legal rights of the owners were settled.
