people. He. however. appears to be

seems to think that the whole RESPONSE

obeying the win Of the people. but of
influencing that viii. rests upon his
shoulders. No wonder he walks up and

BUYS THE WATERSHED.
A Syndicate Purchases Ponds and
streams.

Riverhead. l. T.. April Suffolk coun-
" is again all astir at the news that the
Crawford water syndicate at noon today
purchased several ponds and streams and
is now the owner of a valuable water
shed. from which the syndicate hopes 10
sell an additional supply Of water to the
city of New York.
After several unsuccessful attempts to
get favorable legislation for their scheme,
and the death of the Wray oill, which
was the last attempt made in that dircc-
tion by the syndicate To take water from
Suffolk County. the people who 80 bitterly
opposed the scheme had considered il as
good as dead and were surprised today
when the syndicate took title to the
property and put up $3.50 90 in cash.
Suffolk County is now more alarmed
than ever. The syndicate recently made
a proposition to the board Of supervisors
that i'm lieu of lighting the matter in
court they would pay the county a tax
Of $4,000 per year and also enter into an
agreement not To sink any wells or pur-
chase any more ponds. and only to car
~ off the surplus water from the ponds
and streams. The board of supervisors
would not consider the proposition and
only replied thal Suffolk had no water to
spare.
The watershed is made up of these large
ponds streams and rivers: Connecticut
River. Mastic River. PatchOgue millpond.
