than it has been since August. 1aSf which was the
lowest in the history of the reservoir. II was then
ia feet inches above the average level Of the river
at high tide. The normal measurement is 126 feet
inches This low measurement in 1856 was due to a
break in a main through which millions OF gallons
Of water ran TO waste before the leak was repaired
The low measurement yesterday was ZIG feet u
Inches with a prospect of its becoming lower. This
shortage of water is not caused by leak, but Is &C
counted for by the great demand made for water for
motive power
Superintendent George Brown said last night that
there was not the slightest danger OF water famine,
but the lowncss Of the water would for few days
cause some inconvenience in the Bergen section, for
the pressure had been reduced. A member Of the
street and water department said that the Tow
measurement Of water due to the fact that the
city had but three water mains from the Rellvllc in
tale" TO the city. Two Of these mains were thrySlX
inches and the other twenty inches in diameter. lie
said fourth main shOdld be laid TO the city tc meet
the increased demands for water. The mains now
doing service laid years ago, when the city was
much smaller than at present.
