The three engineers WHO have been
appointed rs commission 10 work out
the problem Of the best and ,peodicsi
means Of obtaining additional water sup
plies for this city have been instructed
not only 10 investigate every available
watershed. but to give equal lttent ion to
the stoppagc of waste in the city mains.
now admittedly very large In view
of our rapidly increasing ConstIrnption
of water and tho difficulty of obtaining
SPEEDILY a new supply, probably the in
vestlgation of waste is for the moment
of the greater importance
After the completion of the new Croton
dam, the Jerome Park reservoir and one
or more additional storage reservoirs
on the Croton watershed. il is estimat ed
that the boroughs of Manhattan and The
Bronx will have a daily supply OF ESQ.,
W0,uD gallons; 10000 900 are also led bv
a pipe line from the Bronx and Bvram
rivers. making a total daily supply to
these two boroughs of 4pOOO,OHo gal
Ions. We are now consuming in these
boroughs 3oo,0OoeoO gallons per dav.
and with a normal increase of popula-
ton, at least 6O,oo0. 900 gallons additional
will I've used daily by the year 1905; and
1t is estimated that in 1907 there will be
"a demand for the entire 4O0 u0o. 600 cal
Ions. The development of new water
supplies il necessarily work of wears.
and II is obvious thar the present general
waste of water must be Curtailed. or.
before new watersheds may be tapped,
orr supply of water will be unequal to
the demand.
The scope Of the new commission is
necessarily broad. and when its report
is completed the city will be in possession
ofaccuratc information as to every avail
able watershed in the State. New York
is growing like a Western boom town,
and it requires "A bold Imagination To fore
cast what the water demands of this
city may bc in the future. II certainly
behooves the city To plan for such a
demand on the broadcast possible lines.
Probably the ultimate solution of New
lork's water problem will be found in
the great watersheds of the Adirondacks.
II is only i'll recent years that the great
importance of this Adirondack region
to the growth of New York city has been
realized
The state now owns ,372 600 acres
of forest lands in the Adirondack and
CatskiIl preserves, and II is adding to
these holdings every year. 1t is proba-
BILE that the report of the Mayors water
commission will fully answer the objec-
tons of the men who have criticised the
States policy of adding to its Adiron-
dack forest preserves.

He probably meant business. and still
means business; for although his COnsti-

opinion that such an amendment is not

This savor- strongly Of rebuke 10

the part of one Federal Judge there
practically to rebukc MIR ByRNE for in
competency. and the bar in general, in
dorsed by every Federal and State Judge,

defeat the rejection of Dclaware's Re-

The Delaware Republicans are making
gallant fight against an adventurer
who has paid high for political power for

il is proven by the record. Our feeling
is that in this later defence of the APP
