The water supply for the Brooklyn

come to that conclusion. The Long Island
watersheds are good, as FAR as they 60,
hut they will not be adequate to supply
Brooklyn in very few years from now.
We are developing the resources on Long

pose of tiding over until a larger and better
supply can be given to the BOROUGH Mart me ne
