were glad to do so. They did not want them.

CITY WATER SUPPLIES.

NewYork Is at pre- sent pretty well supplied
with water, and doubtless will be for some years
to come. The works now in progress in the
Croton Valley will vastly increase the capacity
Of storage reservoirs, and give the city practical
immunity from n water famine, even In times
OF severest and most prolonged drouth. Never
theless, II is evident that the time will come
when a much more copious supply must be OBJ
tanned than can possibly be drawn from the
Croton watershed and when Brooklyn will need
more than can be got on Long Island Men
now living will see that time, and IL Is scarcely
too early, even now, to consider sources and
means Of securing the supply n Greater New
York Of five or six millions or more will need
Perhaps a hint may be taken from the case
OF London, where increase Of the water supply
is n practical and urgent question The
scheme regarded as most feasible Is to 60 out
side the already overdrained valleys Of the
Thames and Lea. and bring water by gravity
from the rivers and lakes OF the Welsh noun
tains. Two aqueducts are proposed. to serve
the two halves of London. north and south Of
the Thames. The one will be $50 miles long.
