POLICY ANn POOLS.

The conviction and Imprisonment of "Ar'
Adams, who had heaped up profits OF mill

through manipulating the policy game, were

LEE cLrrs WATERPOWER.

That Sc a regretfab bic hitch which has occurred
sY Albany over the provision in the Mayor =
water bin authorizing the city to utilize proht-
ably the by-products of its new water system.
Il is regrettable because il threatens to elm
mate from the pending measure a provision
which would be commendable ~ any time and
which st the present time would be peculiarly
serviceable. and because the opposition 10 that
urovision seems 10 be based partly upon mis-
apprehension and partly. il is 10 be feared upon
even less creditable ground. The notion seems
10 be that this city proposes 70 take possession
OF a lot OF power furnishing streams, which it
needs for no other purpose in order 10 60 exten-
sivelv into the business of generating electrical
energy for general sale. This would, as Gov
ernor Higgins says. be a sweeping innovation,
and the propriety Of letting the city seize the
waterpower Of other communities for such a
purpose might well be challenged. It may con-
idently be asserted. however. that the city has
10 such design in mind. and under the Mayor
bin as originslly drafted would probably be
unable 70 do any such thing.
The aim Of that bill is primarily to secure an
adequate water supply for New-YoTk City for 4
long term Of years 10 come. All else, including
this electric power proposal. is incidental 10
that supreme end. But thar end is 10 be at
tained on broad lines and in an economical
fashion. II Is intended 70 plan OF once not
ior next year alone. but for the next fifty years.
Water rights are 10 be secured and reservoirs
are 10 be constructed which viii be adequate
70 the needs OF the city many years hence.
That is unouestionably the best plan. both for
this city and for the regions from which the
water is 10 be taken. It viii rid the city Of
the worry ard need Of making piecemeal ex-
tensions Of its water plant every few years,
and il viii show IN the people Of the rural eoun-
ties what disposition Is 10 he made OF their
streams. so that they viii not 60 on building
villages on land which few years later may
be wanted for water supply purposes. From
an points OF view it is best thus to plan for a
considerable future
In doing that, however. Il is obvious that the
city viii for time BE- securing a supply far
greater than its demand If 1t now secures all
the water il will need in 1850. il will have much
