smaller houses will not long survive the hotel.
These were the most important results OF
tho second day s trip OF Com missioner DAILY and
his small party through tho Croton watershed.
The mmissioner awoke with tho chickens.
and finding several leisure hours before him
drove out to Kensico with Lawyer Dykman. at
whose house he had spent the night. He
wanted to take another look at the little VIII
lage that he had doomed to be destroyed.
When he mot the reporters afterward he told
them what ho did there.
II found that lothian Tompkinss house aud
barn had burned up completely Some OF tho
people out there told me that he had been buy
ing considerable land and number OF houses
in Kensico OF late They say that he heard we
were coming up there to condemn the water
front In order to get It for the city. and they
suspect that he looked forward to getting q
snug little sum from the city for his land. He
will find himself sadly disappointed when the
tims for payment comes. Before his buildings
were burned Mr.. BlrdsAll took accurate meas
uremsnts OF them. 80 that in case the matter
ever came before the courts the value Of the
buildings could be easily decided.
i found that some Of the people Of the
place had moved their opthopses and stables
pfosissl to remove them as quickly . they
could; guess Kensico will give US no further

The party then proceeded along the banks
OF tho brook. Inspecting all the houses they
came TO-. They found deplorable state of af-
tars There were about twenty houses and q
edge that the drppings from the kitchens and
from the manure foil directly into the water
Around nearly every house were heaps OF tin
cans and refuse that had been washed clean
by rains. and. OF course. all the rain water
flowed Into the brook. Some Of these houses
drained Into the brook without even passing
through undeTg round pipes.
