WATER PRESSURE LOW.
COMPLAINTS FROM MANY oUARTERs-LACK OF
RAIN GIVEN AS THE REASON.


Chief Engineer Birdsall Of the Department OF
Water Supply has cut down the pressure service
one story all over Brooklyn. and said yesterday
that he would have to cut It down still further un-
less rain falls soon. The water is very low in
Brooklyn he says and the outlook IL bad HI de-
cares that Brooklyn needs more storage reservoirs.
and ought TO have built them long ago. The Board
OF Aldermen Tuesday passed resolution
thorizing the Department to make a contract for
a water main from the Milburn pumping sta
ton TO Spring Greek. in the Borough of Queens. Mr..
Brdsall said the line would be 4s-inch main
and would give % 10000 gallons day more than at
present. But this will take time to build and will
cost more than 81 10000.
There is also an nconvenent decrease Of the
water pressure making itself felt at various points
in Manhattan Many residents OF the East Side
between Fiftieth and Ninetieth SITS, and from
Ffth-ave. to the East River. are complaining that
the water often does not rise to the second floor.
Commissioner Dalton explains II by saying that
lack of rain has reduced the quantity in storage
and that under those circumstances the pumping
facilities Of the Department are not adequate to
make up the lost pressure all over the borough
Some suspicion exists that this may be a Tam
