some time between the residents of Williams.
bridge and Wakefield on the one side and the
New York and Westchester Water Company
on the other. Recently the company shut Off
the supply. 1t is said. because the city owed 1t
money for water supplied to hydrants since the
villages were annexed to New York. This
caused water famine throughout the district
A delegation Of citizens complained OF this ar
bitrary action to Mayor Strong on Friday. He
sent them to Gen. Coils, and when the latter
heard their story he despatched letter to Moses
r. Crow, one Of the chief men Of the company,
in which ho said
THE legal question, as I understand 1t, at
issue between your company and the city of New
York arises from the fact that in the expiring
amsbrdge lam v and WaSeed the ee trustees Of those
villages extended the existing contracts be-
tween YOU and them. which in the opinion Of tho
Board Of Estimate OF this city was illegal. or at
all events, extravaganza.
tion OF remedy for this condition OF affairs. but
it appears to me suit commenced upon your
contract. compelling the city to hye up to the
the proper course.
ut is reported to me that you have preferred
to deprive these innocent citizens OF water,
either for domestic or fire purposes. thus i'm
pcrilling their lives and property, and they have
no other redress than to abandon the neehbor
hood to avoid an epidemic of typhoid fever,
which is already threatening.
The law imposes upon me the duty of accu-
mulating and supplying the inhabitants Of the
city OF New York with water but have no
means OF doing SO in the localities referred to.
excepting through the instrumentality OF your
company.
IF your works were located within the city
lines should not hesitate as to my course, but
in no event would l take possession of your
property until had exhausted every means of
caring for the people who now suffering, by
some reasonable and amicable arrangement.
request that you will at once give orders
by telegraph or telephone to your employees
TO restore the conditions which existed before
the cutting off of the water. and will meet you
tomorrow. Sunday. at noon at the residence of
Mr.. j. w. Bartram at the corner of Sixth street
and White Plains road. Williamsbridge, when
we will endeavor to come to some understand
ing which will speed the adjudication of such
differences as exist between your company and
the city of New York.
III am misinformed as to the cause of the
failure of the supply of water. and II it Is the
result OF your inability. owing to your small
mains. to furnish the required amount, will
connect the pumping station at Yonkers with
our Bronx River forty-eight conduit. thus en-
abling you to supply the villages Of Williams
