Force II necessary should be used by the city I'm
taking possession of the Long Island Water Com

opinion OF Borough President GrOut, expressed in
a letter which he sent yesterday Controller COer
Among other things he says;
desire to call your attention to the special need
of finally taking possession of these works prior
the first day of May next. If IL be necessary
to do forcibly under the authority of the judg
ment after rendering the amount conceded TO be
due, for this reason: The Long Island Water Sup
ply Company on the first day of May issues it's
bills in advance for the supply of water for the
fiscal year ensuing and If such bills are not paid
during the month of May cuts off the water supply
II by any chance. therefore, there should be delay
in taking possession of these works until after the
first day of May the water company would have
collected part or all of its yearly income for the
ensuing year. which income amounts TO $4,000 or
100000 and when the city does get possession,
after such collections have been made, the city will
either have TO supply water free TO the property
owners who have thus paid, will have to re-
9ulre them to pay over again for their water and
leave large number OF people holding individually
very small claims, though large in the aggresate.

India's Plague and Famine

Bombay, June 3.-Louis Klopach,
of New York, publisher of the
Christian Herald, who arrived here
May IA and started at once on tour
of the famine-stricken districts, has
returned after travelling through
the most sorely smitten portions of
the Bombay presidency, including
Gejerat and Barolda. He makes
the following statement regarding
his observations:
everywhere / met the most
shocking and revolving scenes. The
famine camps have been swept by
cholera and smallpox. Fugitives,
scattering in all directions, and
stricken in flight, were found dying
in the fields and roadside bitches.
The number at one relief station
were increasing at the rate of TO-
600 a day. At Godhera there were
5000 deaths from cholera within
four days, and at Dohad $500 in
the same period. The hospital death
rate at Godhera and Dohad was 90
per cent. The condition of the
stricken simply beggars description.
Air and water were impregnated
with an intolerable stencil of corpses.
At Ahmedabad the deach rate in the
poorhouse was 10 per cent. Every
day l saw new patients face to face
with corpses. In every fourth cot
there was a corpse. The Their
mometer read lis in the shade. Mil
lions of flies lowered around the I'M
cleansed dysentery patients. /
visited the smallpox and cholera
wards at Viragam. All the patients
were lying on the ground, there be-
ing no cots. Otherwise their con-
dition was fair. l can fully verify
the reports that vultures, dogs and
jackets are devouring the dead.
Dogs have been seen running about |
with children's limbs in their jaws.
The Government is doing its best,
but the native officials are hopelessly |
and heartlessly inefficient. Between
he famine, plegue and cholera the
condition of Bombay presidency is
now worse than it has been at any
previous period in the Nineteenth
century. Whole families have been
plotted out. The spirit of the peo-
de is broken, and there may be
still worse to come when
he monsoon breaks"
Those who desire TO assist these
people will find box at
he Bolivar Postoffice, in which
hey can drop their contributions,
which will be promptly forwarded
D the proper parties.
