The engineering project which has been put forward as a solution of the problem of New York city's water supply is 'big thing" The present Croton lake is about five miles long and the storage dam is forty feet high at the overflow lip, and capable of supplying at the present time 100, ,00O, 900 gallons of water day. A short distance be- low the dam, and on the line of the stream formed by the overflow, the hills rise on both sides to height of over ITO feet. They are of rocky formation, and below the bed of the river is bed of solid rock. It is on this spot that engineers are urging the building of a dam wall 175 feet in height. It will rest upon 8 foundation of solid rock, and will ex- tend to the hill sides on either side. It has been estimated that 1t will cost $4 1000, ,o0o to construct this wall. The effect will be to change the valley in the course of time to 8 lake, and thus enlarge the present Croton lake to a body of water sixteen miles long with an average width of half mile. By constructing new 15-foot aqueduct to the city, a supply of water nearly triple that now secured can, it is asserted, be drawn from this huge reservoir daily for half century without danger of exhaustion. There will be a reserve in the storage dam itself of 3D. o0O oOO, 900 gallons to draw upon when ex- ceptionally dry weather might otherwise i'm pose 8 shortening of the supply.
