FLUSHING vERGING on WATER FAMINE

The property owners Of Flushing arc much
worked up the water situation there. There
little. II any. fire in the street hydrants
and IL is next 20 impossible 10 get water Into the
houses In the higher portions Of the place during
the day. The trouble has arisen since the Water
Department Of the city Of New-York connected the
water plants OF Flushing. College Point ard White
stone. The greater part OF the village OF Flushing
Is higher than the streets OF CoN"g" Point and
Whitestone hence the necessity of maintaining a
higher level Of water I'm the Flushing Reservoir
than In those that supply the other TWO villages.
There IS said to be an abundant supply OF pure
water. hut the trouble Is with the standplpes.-
The plan has been suggested Of adding nity feet
m o height OF the College Point ana W nlte-
stone standpipes. also ~ connecting the latter
standpipes direct with the main pumping sta
ton by an independent system Of water mains. II
is proposed maintain three entirely separate
water systems for the three villages. The latter
plan would add largely 10 the expense OF Tndintc-
nance and will probably not be considered.

ters sat by Mr. Cooneys side encouraging the aged
