TURNING SNOW TO WATER

Experiments in melting snow in city streets
In times OF extreme cold have not been tri-
umphantly successful DR.. Woodbury. and other
experts In such matters are convinced after
careful trials that In a rigorous winter no In
vention yet developed VIII be more efficient and
economical, in this metropolis, at least, in the
carrying away Of the drifts than the employ
ment OF a host OF shovel wielders aud the use
of thousands Of carts.
When the temperature here is something like
that OF NladivOstok the burning Of naphtha or
kerosene oil turns the heaps OF snow into run
ming waters rapidly, but, before the streams
thus created can pass away hGrmlessly into
the sewers the frost lays hold of them and
stops their currents. SO It has been found TO
be less extrava CANT 10 attack the snow with
spade and pick and wagons and TO dump 1t
in the rivers than 10 pay for the melting ap-
paratus for our principal thOroughfares. Our
present Street Cleaning Department is not FROST
bitten or even benumbed by its tasks in such
a season as this in Gotham, and is meeting its
heavy tasks in n credltable manner. New-YOrk

Merritt's water storage bill the perfect frank

which private enterprises have an interest
Whatever may be its defects. il IL a straight
forward attempt 10 achieve a perfectly legiti-
lns,e ambition OF a large number 81 persons
using the water power OF New-York streams.
The wisdom OF the scheme Itself and Of the
means proposed 10 carry il out is fairly open
90 debate. but there Is no reason for describing
tho measure as grab bill
Tor wears the mill owners in certain parts of
shc State have been anxious 10 regulate the
fov ~ their streams. Those Of Rochester
hsre heen especially active in the agitation.
They struggled long 10 secure water storage at

the purpose. The mill owners along the many
streams flowing from the Adirondacks, who are

similar ambitions. and there viii undoubtedly
10 q strong interest 10 push the measure.
In its behalf Il may be urged that this work
81 water conservation can only be done under
rluhlic authority The mill owners along a
stream cannot 90 20 its upper reaches and regu-
late its now. no matter how willing they may
be 10 bear the expense. A private corporation
with the necessary authority, including the right
of eminent domain, might make the improve

such grant as well as difficulties OF practical
operation with present vested interests IN the

20 share IN the expense OF storage. Moreover,
the general public is concerned 10 prevent
foods and regulate the Cow OF rivers so as best
10 promote the health and general prosperity
Of the community. II a constant water power
can be developed where an intermittent one
