ORR FUTURE WATER SUPPLY.

The last official act of Alfred +. White before
retiring from the office of Commissioner of city
Works was TO complete an elaborate report re-
garling the future water supply of Brooklyn.
Naturally the question OF securing additional
water from Long Island. whence the ciry's cn-
tire present supply is drawn. receives extensive
il not exhaustive treatment; but inasmuch rs
the report deals with the possibilities of securing
water for Brooklyn from the Ramapo region and
also from IL part of the llousaonc watershed,
while indeed the retiring Commissioner suggests
that perhaps the wiscst plHn will be to tap the
Delaware in the vicinity of Port JcrvlS il Is cvi-
dent that interest in The report and the accom-
panylng documents will not be confined TO the
constituency for which they have been primarily
prepared. Certain it is that in Il few years New
Yorl, will be brought face TO face with II qucs-
tion similar to that which has been undergoing
investigation in Brooklyn: for 10 one who pos
scsscs any familiarity with the subject believes
that the Croton watershed can meet the demands
Of this city for in indefinite period The availa-
bIlity Of the Ramopo region has. in fact. been
under consideration already, and IT has been
gravely suggested more than once that the future
might see Lake George drawn on for the water
supply Of the metropolis.
The painstaking investigation made by the
engineers Of the Brooklyn Department of City
Works was undertaken under authority granted
by the Common Council year and half ago;
not because there then pressing necessity
for more water, but because II was deemed wise
by Commissioner White 10 have the subject thor
oughly understood at time when such an III
auiy could be made with dcllbcratlon and in
the absence Of immediate exgencies. What he
instructed his engineers 10 determine was the
several nearest sources from which minimum
additional daily supply of lW,oOoooO gallons
might be obtained. 1t Is Mr.. Whites opinion
that the watershed on which the city Is now de-
pendent should suffice. with good management,
certainly for six and probably for eight years,
while the proposed additional supply should be
sufficient for twenty years more. There Is small
doubt that before that time Brooklyn aad New

UEPIriNS FOR THE NAVY.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Low in the House
of Representatives, providing for the eStaolisl-
ment Of recruiting dcpos for the Navy along tlle
w-Engand coast and on the Hudson ana the
Great Lakes is directly in line with the recon-
mpndatons made 10 Secretary Tracy by Admiral
Erbeu in 1889 In Il letter TO the Secretary OF the
Navy he then said that with the exception OF
those enlisted under honorable discharge and
continuous service certificates our manOfwar
men should be taken from among or landSmen
or watcrmen serving along the coast. lie did
not believe that The best men were reached by
the receiving stations at Boston, Ncw-lork,
Philadelphia and san Francisco. but that the
finest recruiting field was along the coast from
the capcs of the Delaware to PASSPORT, Long

and threw them among the foreign sailors who

issues which break the silver party. insure its

 Other Investigations.
 Other Investigations made and re- ported upon by the bureau were the conditions of cellar bakeries, from a sanitary point of view, and the hours of labor and wages paid in the several bake shops which were examined, and from the account given in the report it appears that condition of filth exists In many of them which ought not to be permitted in any we'll regulated community The report contains an abstract of proposed law on this sub ject, which it states will be introduced at the incoming session of the general assembly, which bears 0 close resem- blance, the report says, to those in force in some of the other states.
 The report briefly refers to the law concerning alien laborers, which was enacted at the last session of the gen. 1 eral assembly, making a recommend ation that it be amended that more protection may be furnished employees ignorant of the English language, 1 It also makes reference to the matter of protection of motormen from the in- clemency of the weather during the winter season, and quotes the laws which have recently been enacted, and are now in force in the states of Min l nesota and Michigan, recommending 1 them to the consideration of legisla- tors, and suggesting similar legisla- tive action in this state.
 l The report also reprints from the 1 bulletin of the United States depart ment of labor an abstract as to the rights of employer and employe under l the common law, giving definition as ! to the relations of master and servant, as to the rights of employees under con- tract of service, how and under what 1 circumstances an employe may sue for breach of contract, and employers lia- | bility for injury to employees. The re- port also contains the law of 1896 con- | cerning the protection of garment workers in sweat shops in Maryland, and an extract relating to labor from the new constitution of South Carolina. Statistics of Manufactures.
 The statistics of manufactures given in the report cover a large field of in quiry and show the results as compil- ed from the returns made to the bu-
 reau by 7S9 establishments, which re- ported having had S3,051 employees on
 their several payrolls on July l. 1896 The same establishments at the same date in 1895 employed 1896. The re-
 port states that the total amount paid | in wages by all the establishments dur ing the year was $3S, 509 4S400. Easing
 the computation upon the supposition that the number employed on July l.
 1896, was the average number for the year. the report gives the average
 wages per employe as being $1.66 per
 day of ten hours actually employed
 and the proportion of business done by
 all the establishments reporting is
 stated in the report to have been 76.69 per cent. of normal capacity for
 production, and by classified indus
 tries the proportion is stated to have been as follows:
