"rhe situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffer

to enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel, and
it is subjecting the general public to
great Inconvenience.
ITO relieve the situation and ale

now being endured, is the duty OF
everyone connected with the produc-

we are prompted to address this com

coal The gravity of the situation is
such as to require that every mine

These efforts should be continued until

than thirty feet AS the storage capacity OF the
old dam is about 43 0OO OtOUOO gallons, the new
dam bv adding space for 81, UlO,0OO,OOO more

Will not increase. its yield, which is estimated L"
be about .!HIUw.NHE gallons day. From thor
uugh and long continued Investigations, John X
Freeman. the engineer who has made q special
study of the whole problem Of this city for the
Water Department, says that Manhattan and
The Bronx consume 15OOU0UO more gallons
day each year. At this rate he figures that in
less than two years these two boroughs will
need more water than the CrotOn watershed can
furnish. Even at the present time buildings in
The Bronx at certain seasons are cut off from Il
water supply, with the imminent risk of wide
spread cOnflagratiOn.
The need of water for the other three
boroughs, Furthermore is said to be imperative.
Nearly every summer in Brooklyn there is q
strinFency water in some districts, which on
several occasions has developed into famine.
Brooklyn Borough uses about 10 100000 gallons
a day, which pumped from Long Island wells
and ponds. The daily supply of Queens Bor-
ough which is about 15,O0OOOO gallons, and
that of Richmond, which is about 6,OOO,O0O gal
Ions IRE also obtained by dumping, and in both
instances the supply is becoming less and less.
1t is Mr.. Freemans opinion that a water
shed capable of furnishing additional daily
supply of 15O,OOO00U gallons should be obtained
Immediately, and then the construction of still |
another system. with daily supply ofJOO, ,OO0OOO
to 1UOOOOOOOC gallons, should be built for future
needs The WhGe city uses nearly
4OO,WN,OUD gallons day, and if the increase in |
the population continues it has for the last
ten years, the capacity of even a 1.O0o,0OO,OoO
gallon p ut VIII not be too large in another half
century. Since such vast undertakings take a
great number OF years for their execution, as for
example, the new Cornell DAM which was begun
in 1902, and which has now cost $GtaluOUt the
initial work should he begun tsII Iy.
For this reason the commission which has lust
been appointed to determine the most available
region for an additional water supply has been
encouraged by the present city government to
hurry its work as fast practicable. The COM
mission consist of William II. Burr, Rudolph
Herring and John r. Freeman AS Mr.. Freeman

sheds within aqueduct reach of this city, the

BIG DIM NEARLY DONE.
1t WiH Form Lake Holding Ser-
enty-fue Billion Gallons.

New-York consumes about one hundred gallons
of water a day for each one of its four million
irF;, ,bitants. Yet 1t thirsts for more. Although
it is now completing the new Cornell dam, IN the
Croton Valley, Westminster County, the largest
structure of its kind in this country, behind
which viii be impounded a lake twenty miles
long and containing 75OO0OD0cO gallons
nevertheless a newly appointed commission has
begun looking over the State for more water,
more abundant rivers and bigger watersheds.
The everyday visitor to the Croton Valley at
the present time finds it hard to understand the
need of such a commission. The new dam, with
its 900 foot main wall and its 1000 foot spill
way, which thus stretches for nearly half Il mile
from mountain to mountain, is so huge and the
boundaries Of the future lake into which this
basin will be transformed vast, that the
new r servoir would seem large enough to sup
ply the metropolis for another century.
But the eye cannot realize the full grandeur
OF the new dam. Half of it is buried under the
ground where the foundation stones are laid to
a width of two hundred feet. The dam must be
dug up by feat of imagination and laid down
in tte heart of New-York City to be fully appre-
,jated Here if ii stretched north and south, it
would extend from Twenty-third-st. to Thirty
third-st and it's height would exceed that of the
Flatiron Building which IS 2S4 feet, by still an
other story
According to the Aqueduct Commission work
on the new dam will be so nearly finished next
December that the water Will be let in behind it
4 that time. The basin is large, however,
that it may take six months for the water run
ming over the spillway of the old dam, six miles
further up the valley. to fill it. Thus, by the
till-e the whole reservoir is flooded. by the
sumner of next year the Cornell dam will be
q npIetely finished that the water behind it
MAY rise 20 the depth of 15D feet and begin TO
Ut over its gigantic spillway.
In anticipation of tn" filling in of the dam next
Il..ember the New-York Central Railroad will
be-in next month tearing up the railway tracks
Wi.ch now traverse the site OF the future
voir Thousands of acres of woodland will also
need to be cleared, dozen bridges must be
built, roads laid out, and another dam at
MGscoot Mountain completed.
Wien the inundation reaches it's height the
humiat ton of the old dam will be complete.
When the water at last begins to pour the
spillway Of the new structure the top of the old
