RAMAPO ONCE MORE.
buns?

A respected correspondent writes us object
ing to attacks upon Ramapo, saying that the
directors Of that company are good and honest
men, and giving the following in his view
the correct statement Of the situation:
The Ramapo company proposes to supply two
hundred million or more gallons Of water a day
TO the city at $40 per million gallons. What the
Croton would cost to have additional two
hundred millions is difficult TO ascertain 1t
is matter Of bookkeeping; but there are those
who claim to know who say it will cost the city
much more than the figure Of the RamapO Has
the Croton supply about reached it's limit? The
impression is that it has; that everything that
can be made contributory to it has been i'm
pressed into it's service. If this be a fact new
territory must be sought At this point the
Ramapo comes In to meet the necessity which
forces itself upon US, and offers all and more
than the city will require during this generation.
The most important flaw in this statement is
concerning the necessity. That is not proved.
1t is purely Tammany scare the unreason-
ableness of which is concusively shown by
comparative statistics. The gentlemen behind
Ramapo may be entirely innocent, but the coin
cidence of their attempt to secure a contract
and the official anxiety TO secure unnecessary
extensions inevitably excite suspicion Another
two hundred million gallons a day from the
Croton supply might be expensive even I'M
attainable, as our correspondent suggests; but
that is not the point. The point is that with
of any additional water supply, and a contract
with Ramapo would be utter and nexcusabe
waste The present draft in Manhattan and
The Bronx on the supply is 116 gallons per
head per day Now, it has been admitted by
the very officials who are clamorng for new
sources that fully two-thrds of this goes to
waste In fact, much more Is wasted. Probably
not more than twenty-five gallons a head is
actually used for both domestic and manufact-
uring purposes. Experiment has shown that
not more than half the supply drawn ever
reaches the consumer, but flows away through
leaky mains. Half Of the remainder is wasted
in the houses and shops. This could be stopped
by meters without in the least curtailing the
use of water or adding to the expense of house
holders. II. however, that perfectly reasonable
regulation 10 make householders stop their own
leaks. which the officials cannot easily find. be
opposed and the leakage is endured, IT is still
in the power of the authorities to double our
water supply by stopping the waste of half of
il in the streets
This is perfectly feasible It has been done
in other cities. and every hydraulic engineer
knows Il. The expense of finding the great
leaks which now send rivers running away into
sewers would be triiing compared with buying
renting additional water Liverpool a few
years ago found its water going too rapidly,
stopped the great leaks and now finds twenty

New-York tribune., 1900-08-02

Power to be seized, locked up and finally bun
died out of the country as though he were
bale of freight, without being permitted to
express his wishes in the matter? If so. diplo-
macy is indeed played out Common reason
would seem to require that communication be
restored between this Government and Mr..
Conger so that this Government can learn
officially what has happened in Peking since
the middle of June and can consult its Minister
as to his wishes and his Judgment as to his
future action. This Government cannot be ex-
pected to regard it's Minister as mere Chattel.
Again. il has been made known that as long
ago as July 23 the Chinese Government was
considering the sending of the Ministers down
to Tien-Tsin. General Yung Lu is said TO have
urged that measure upon the Government. A
few days later it was said the Chinese Govern
ment had decided upon that course. and last
week the further announcement was made, upon
eminent Chinese authority, that the Ministers,
some of them. were actually being sent
down. But now il appears that no start has
been made Yet in all that time since July 23,
and. indeed, since much earlier date, no ad-
vance has been made by the foreign troops tow
ard Peking. There has been plenty Of time for
the Chinese Government to send the Ministers
out Why has ii not done so, if its present
offer is made in good faith? What reason is
there to suppose that the Ministers would be
sent out any sooner If our troops were with
drawn?
There is just one way in which the Chinese
Government can vindicate its good faith in the
eyes of the world and check what it deems to
be an invasion of its territory That is by put
ting the Ministers at Picking into free commu-
nication with their Governments Until that
is done it must not be deemed unjust for the
Powers to decline to accept Chinese statements
concerning the Ministers or undue aggression
for them TO advance upon Peking. Communi-
cation, not conquest. Is their purpose. 1t will
be the part of wisdom for the Chinese Govern
ment TO command its troops not to oppose but
to cooperate with ours in its execution; and
there need be no surprise if in the near future
it shall do that very thing.
