AoI-FDI'CT OFFICIALS SAY THERE is NO CAUSE
TO FEAR SCARCITY.
Any fears that may have been entertained for the
adoouacy OF the water supply Of this city, because oil
the long continued heated term, are not well founded
according 10 Mr. Blrdsall. the chief engineer OF the
Crt.n Auueduct. He says that the situation is lpch
better this year than last both regards the amount
OF rainfall and the storage capacity and the quality OF
wafer held in storage Mr. BiTdsall yesterday said to
n Tribune reporter that there had been no lack OF
water this summer. The drought was broken In May
and since then there has been more or less rain IN inc
CITY and a good deal more In tae country whence the
simply is drawn. For instance. aSt week there wcro
two rainy DAYS In New York and four In the tTo'on
district In the whole year up TO date there has MOI
been us much rain ~ during the same period Of last
year.
In 1891 me rainfall Was exceptionally heavy dnnng
January and February. During tue summer, however,
the rainfall has been greater this year From MAY
