By the act making appropriations for the legis-
lAtive, executive and judicial expenses Of the
Government, approved August Is, 1876, rsduc-
ton was made In the permanent force of the De-
partment amounting In numbers to SIS, and by
the terms of the appropriation for temporary
clerks, by which the sum Of $50 900, appropriated
for the Treasury, WAS to be distributed among

Previous to the last year annual reductions had

equal, 1t Is believed, to any decrease in the work
served that the reduction amounts in numbers to
one ifth of the entire force employed In the De-

clerks for the remainder Of the fiscal year. which,

/. OF Congress have expressed grave doubts whether
they did not act unwisely in voting under the
impulse Of the moment to abolish the Board of

that they might have an opportunity to give

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

SUGGESTIONS TO TIE ALDERMANIc COM
MITTEE-A NEW METHOD OF INCREASE PRO-
PosED-cosDuIrs TO BE BUILT INSTEAD OF
RESERVOIRS.
Mr.. William Burden, OF Brooklyn, has addressed
communication TO Alderman Tuomey, chairman of tho
special committee on water supply, relative the i'm
portant subject for which this committee APP
pointed In this communication he suggests "a much
cheaper mode OF getting water than by gong ATTY or
sixty miles for It.
TIM NEW PLAN
His plan is to construct canal or conduit on low
level OF sufficient width and depth, commencing al
Harlem River, running through westchester, follow.
ing the low lands and keeping the depth below the
well level This conduit would always be full OF the
purest water, supplied from tho great underground
water basin OF Westchester and would in its course
intercept all the springs and streams. The plan fur
ther conlcmplates one main conduit, commencing az
point west OF kngsbridgc or east Of Central Bridge,
on the Wcstchester side OF the Harlem River. run
ming up through Westchester. with lateral branches
running right or LETT the nature OF the ground may
indicate smaller be built OF tho different
valleys ana cross tunnel made to intercept them all
Thus very large amount OF water could be obtained,
the condults TO DO extended according 10 tho growth
OF the city IL is proposed that the main conduit a
tho commencement should not DO less than twelve
feet in diameter or Of Suficient capacity TO deliver
COST or rHE IMPROVEMENT.
Mr.. Burden has made an approximate estimate OF
tho cost oil inns work and nnds II could BIO done
about &c. 800 000 exclusive OF lands tho right tako
tho water and tho right OF way which would cost
much, rs tho conduit viii DO mostly underground.
Much OF coulo 90 tunnclled without disturbing tho
surface The only damage done would be tho surplua
earth, left In places. As the conduit follows the Low
lands their drainage would mitigate tho damagoa
In concluding his letter Mr. Burden says:--
81 see that u 10 contemplated 10 build more reservoirs
on high elevations, a. cost OF $4,000, 0o0 and 70
build a new conduit between Now York and Crotou
Dam, at cost OF $40. 600 more. Now, TO keep
building expensive reservoirs on these high elevations
