SALOONS WASTING WATER
BROOKLYN LEAGUE CHARGES THAT
WATER DEPARTMENT FAVoRS
LIQUOR DEALERS.

While the Water Department is cutting on the
nubic schools from all water supply II Is aIloW-
inp thousands of saloons in the borough 10 waste
more water than all the Brooklyn schools put To-
gether could use Each saloon wastes more wafer
in day than any public school would use IN the
same length Of time.
These are the words OF A. ]. Aubrey. secretary
of the Brooklyn League who has been making re-
searches to learn the for the waste or water
in Brooklyn. The remedy which the Brooklyn
League will probably suggest and which. 1t IS SAID
will have the support of Controller Coler, Is the
introduction of water in all business houses
and saloons in Kings County. There are at present
only 5000 water meters in use in Brooklyn. where
as Mr.. Aubrey believes that there ought to De
many thousands There is a law which provides
that the Commissioner of Water Supply shall cause
water meters to be placed ''in all stores, work
shops hotels manufactures. public edihces. at
wharves. ferry houses. stables and In all places
where water is furnished for business consump-
ton
case the proprietor refuses to put in the water
meter, the law provides that the work shall de-
vove the Water Department, which shall! charge
the expense to the proprietor.
Mr.. Aubrey charges that the Water Department
has simply winked at the way the meter law has
been ignored in Brooklyn He says that now, be

lyn is going to waste. Mr. Aubrey says that there
is great waste of water in hotels. saloons and

QUGG DEPRIVED or POWER.
TO HAVE NO VOICE. 1T is SAID, IN
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CAM
PAIGN-GENERAL GREENE'S
SUCCESSFUL COURSE.

The word that Lemuel Ely Quigg has been
deprived of all power in the management of the
Republican organization in NewYork County
has been passed out among the members of the
organization. that every district leader and
every district worker understands it fully and
perfectly. 1t has caused much satisfaction in
the ranks Of the county organization In the
campaign this fall there will be no meddlng by
Qugg with the work in the districts 1t is un-
derstood that there has been a complete aban-
donment of Quigg methods at county head
quarters. and that hereafter the influence of the
County Committee will be for harmony and
effective work. and not for the encouragement
of faction fights in the districts and the at
tempted overthrow of district leaders who may
be dsliked personally by the president of the
County Committee.
When Quigg resigned the presidency of the
County Committee some of his friends thought
he would be able to keep in power as chairman
of some subcommittee. An amendment to the
rules passed, making the chairman of the
Finance Committee q member of the Executive
Committee, and Quiggs friends thought he was
to be made chairman of the Finance Committee
and take a place in the county organization
similar to that held by Richard Croker as chair
man of the Tammany Finance Committee. In
that they were sadly disappointed for exMayor
Strong, who had resigned the craftsmanship of
the Finance Comrnittee because he could not
stand Quigg's methods. consented to resume the
Craftsmanship when General Greene had become
president of the County Committee
Then the little clique of Quiggs supporters
thought he might be appointed chairman Of
campaign committee to have charge of rails
ing campaign funds for the local organization.
There another disappointment, for General
Greene. William H. Ten Eyck and other leaders
decided not TO have campaign committee this
fall. That a knockdown blow for the
former president of the County Committee and
his favorites, for it understood that the
decision not to have a campaign committee was
based upon a resolution not expressed in writ
ing to keep him out of all further control of
Republican affairs in the county.
Since that decision reached General
Greene has been able to arrive at the solution
of several unpleasant district troubles He has
been able to promote harmony in all of the dis
trict organizations that had been embroiled,
with the exception of the XXIst District, where
there will be two tickets at the Republican
primaries August 2S. In that district, how
ever, the Gruber and Austin factions have been
made to understand that the county organi2a-
tion will show no favoritsm to either side. and
tee will print the primary ballots for both sides.
Members Of the two factions in the XXVth
District had a meeting in General Greenes Of
flee at the headquarters yesterday afternoon
and decided to adjust their differences and have
only one ticket at the coming primaries. In all
the other districts there is to be harmony.
