Alderman &c. O. Milliken, first vice

"Such an act might operate beneficially

worked satisfactorily in inducing bust

"By restricting the staff to those who

diately thrown Of by the strikers and all

BROOKLYN'S WATER SUPPLY.
President Grout Would Make a Temporary
Contract for Increasing It.

President Edward NJ. Grout of the Borough
OF Brooklyn is OF the opinion that the danger
Of a water famine in Brooklyn could be averted
by making contracts for additional supplies
from one or more OF the water companies on
Long Island. The Queens County Water Sup
ply Company, with which he has been In COM
municatiOn, has offered 20 supply To the city
from 1000, 600 TO 1900, 900 gallons daily at the
rate OF s35 a million gallons. Should the propo-
sition be accepted, the company viii at once
proceed 10 lay the necessary conduit and will
be prepared 20 supply the water within thirty
DAYS. Mr.. Grout also thinks that the pumping
station In Prospect Park should be used in in
creasing the supply In Brooklyn, and that II
need be the lake should be permittod 10 go
dry. Park Commissioners Brewer il opposed
10 the proposition. In a letter to Deputy Com
missioner Mofstt OF the Water Department,
President Grout SAYS;
Il have been opposed in the past TO any
contracts with private water companies, be-
cause of a conviction, not only that the city
ought 20 own It's own supply, but that there
was no practical difficulty In II so doing. In.
asmuch as a pertod OF three years has dipped
