RAIN AND WATER SUPPLY.

The heavy rain of Sunday and Monday was
regarded with pleasure and gratitude by myrlads
of people in the various bOrouGhs of this city
who had been suffering from a scarcity OF water
or had been menaced with an actual famine Ii
was worthy thus to be regarded. So far as
Manhattan is concerned. that rain added prob
ably twenty billion gallons. or two months sup
ply, TO the stock Of potable water in its storage
reservoirs. If not another drop should fall from
now until midsummer there would he no fear of
a water famine in Manhattan. The Bronx ought
TO be about as well off. but is not because of
the miserable delay in increasing its facilities
of which the local government has been guilty.
Still. We suppose the state of affairs there will
be considerably improved. and works for
complete system OF supply are now happily
under way beyond even the power of the City
Hall or of Ramapo to Illustrate or seriously
delay them.
1t should be possible to say the same of
Brooklyn. but is not. The dOwnpOur of rain in
the Brooklyn watershed as heavy as it
was in the Croton region. Yet we shall not be
a bit surprised If by the end of this week there
is more talk of an imminent water famine and
further closing of mains. True, il is reported
that ''the reservoirs have been refilled." But
that is. of course. all, and that is very little.
For Brooklyn has no adequate reservoir system.
We have said that the CrotOn reservoirs have
impounded probably twenty billion gallons of
that rain for the of Manhattan, which. at
three hundred million gallons day. is two
months supply 1t is safe To reckon that from
twelve to fifteen billion gallons fell upon the
fo0lishly limited area from which Brooklyn is
permitted TO draw its water supply. But of
that only a petty proportion has been or can be
impounded. for the reason that the total capacity
of Brooklyn's storage reservoirs is only little
more than one billion gallons. or. at one hun
dred million gallons a day, a ten days supply.
The rest will 60 TO swell the turbd waters Of
the Great South Bay.
There is the fundamental weakness OF the
Brooklyn water system. II needs more storage
reservoirs in which to impound water in time
OF flood for use in time OF drouth. The sur
passing excellence of the Manhattan system Is
in It's great chain of lakes amid the hills of
Westchester. Putnam and Dutchess counties In
which fifty billion gallons may be held for use
in rainleSs summer. II will be far more
difficult task 10 provide such n system for
Brooklyn. partly because OF the LAY of the
land and partly because Of the character Of
the soil. But il can be done and il must be
done II ever that borough is 10 be freed from
the menace of n water famine That is the
crying need Of Brooklyn. And II IS well 10
bear in mind that the BOARD Of Estimate and
Apportionment nearly two months ago author

Grass perversity which would be farcical II II

WHY NOTs

A report has been current shat the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company intends 10 construct a
tunnel OF its own at its own expense. under
the North and East rivers and Manhattan Isl
and, 10 connect its railroad terminal i'm Jersey
City with the Brooklyn terminal of the Long
Island Railroad. which in now owns. We do not
know that the report is true II may be. The
scheme is by no means an impossible one, and
IL is one Of almost incalculable promise If one
could go downstairs at Broadway and Cort-
landt-st, and there, without ferriage or other
transfer. enter a through train for Washington
or Chicago on the one hand. or for Manhattan

other, travel conditions in this part of the world

yond the reach Of less favored or less enterpris-
ing rivals
The question is however. not whether this or
that road intends TO do such thing, but rather
Why not? We do not refer expressly to the
stupenGous tunnel plan outlined above. bur TO
any similar enterprise. Why should not rail
road companies-especially. why should not
urban transportation companies. which are
among the most prosperous of all-construct
their own tunnels or bridges at their own ex-
pense and for their own profit? When the Erie
Railroad wanted 10 get through the hills from

not ask the State Of New-Jersey 10 do So When
the New-fork and Harlem Railroad wanted 10

County il built bridge for the purpose. II did
not ask the city the State of New-Yorl 10
do so. Why should not the transportation COM

Years ago the city built a fine bridge across tho
East River for certain specific purpose~ in
which neither trolley ears nor elevated railroad
