DETECTING TO THE AQUEDUCT ROUTE.
Propcrty-owners living on the east bank of the
Hudson, between Sing Sing and New-YOrk, have
sent protest to the Aqueduct Commissioners in re-
gard to the proposed location of the aqueduct.
They state that IL Is undesirable 10 have the two
aqueduCts in close proximity III case of accident,
and that the great value of the land through which
the proposed line is to makes that route Objec
tOnable. This land, they state IL worth 81 900 an
acre, while the value Of the property on the Saw
Mill Valley route does not greatly exceed 500 an
acre. The outlay 10 secure the right of way would
be much less by the Saw Mill Valley route, and eX-
pensive country seats and other valuable property
would not have TO be destroyed Another objection
raised is that the construction of the aqueduct
The proposed line will seriously endanger the health
of 90 600 persons, and that it is unnecessary that
snch an injury should he done while there is another
Tonte equally practicable for the line of the aque-
duct 1t is further stated that no saving can be
made 10 New-YOrk by the proposed route which
will not be at the expense of equal or greater dam
age 10 Westchester County, and that no unjust adj
vantage should be taken of the unprecedented pow
srs conferred by the act of the Legislature. The
