THINKS BURR LAW DEFEATED ITSELF

CORPORATION COUNSEL DECLARES BROOKLYN
CAN GO TO SUFFOLK COUNTY FOR WATER.
Corporation Counsel Rives Yesterday made
statement regarding the so-caled Burr law, which
prohibits the city from entering Suffolk County Tor
water and which ne declares is unconstitutional
He said that granting that it was constitu-
tonal. il did not apply to Brooklyn. This. he oe-
lieves due a mistake on the part or the
official who drew the bill. The clause which was
designed shut Brooklyn out is the one that lets
that borough in Il provides that no city or less
than 10000 100000 inhabitants shall be permit
ted 10 go into Suffolk for water. 1t fails to state
the words "at the time of the last Federal census.
which would have made the clause specific.
While Brooklyn may not have had over 100000
inhabitants in 1890 she certainly had over $4,000 in
1892. while in the next four years she must nave
grown to at least 10000 population, says MT,
Rives. Now as Brooklyn has over the number
of inhabitants named in the prohibitory clause OF
this Burr law. l believe that Brooklyn Is exempt
from its provisions and that there is nothing to
prevent the city from going into that county ana
getting additional water supply
