comfortable plurality of 5000. not counting
ballots over which there likely to be any

of the Gilsey House, Mr. Jerome looked out
over lobby jammed with a miscellaneous

uniformed policemen and civilians of every sort

broad staircases each one filled with listening
people while the large hall above presented a

WATER BILL AGREED ON.
Ulster County Only Refuses to Make
Concessions to City.
[Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUNEl

Albany March 22-On lines indicated in these dis
patches a week ago, the representatives Of New
York City and Of Westchester, Putnam and Dutch
ess counties have reached agreement on the sub
ject of water supply which makes possible agreed
bill introduced by the city and unopposed by these
counties.
As outlined at that time. this bill is in essential
Seatures that advocated by Mayor Mcclellan, but
modified in certain important particulars To West
chester County the concession is made that cities
and towns in that county may tap the extended
Croton water system, and that no further streams
in that county shall be taken for water. To Put
nam the concession is made OF protection for prac
ticalIy all streams and particularly those asked for
in behalf Of various industries. To Duchess County,
as well to Suffolk, is conceded the J. II Smith
and Burr laws, now existing. but which would have
beer repealed by the original draft Of the Mayors
bill This leaves Ulster County to be considered,
and up to-day the representatives OF this county
have refused make any concession allowing
New-York City to enter that county Assembly
men Apgar, Wainwright Yale and Smith. repre-
sening various affected counties, have all signihed
their approval OF the compromise.
The position of the city the proposition OF
State commission outlined by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Guy tonight Mr.. Guy said;
The city authorities do not object to a State
Board of Water Supply exercising purely the power
of revew when there is DISAGREEMENT between me
to the taking Of source. OF watef supply; PRO
sbaIi be subject to appeal to the Supreme Court
with power in the court to determine tho appica-
Application is made by municipality for leave to
acquire sources OF water supply such application
shall he by the State Board within
ninety days and in the event Of the board falling
10 act thereon, that application may be made
TO the Supreme Court.
Mr. GUY also discussed In detail the Ulster County
situation and the bill introduced to shut New
York City out of this Of additional water
supply asked for by Mayor Mcclellan Mr. Guy
said:
The effect, and probably the purpose, Of the
various bills introduced forbidding New-YeEk City
TO enter different counties TO obtain additional
water supply will be inevitably TO create situA-
ton where there is available water supply ex,
cent that owned by some private corporation. and
n Is an economic principle universally recognized
that where but one article Of any given kind can
ba obaIned in the market, the value OF such arti-
Gle is enormously enhanced
this connection it is interesting to note that
The Soutanr bill while IL forbids New-York City
to take by condemnation water sources or streams
IL Ulster County leaves IT entirely within the
mower of Ramapo or some other company, TO ac-
1,,ire such water sources and streams, and after
Yard Unload them on the city OF New-York at
price

missiOners Appoint Special Meeting.

After several hours of discussion the Board OF
Education decided yesterday to defer final action
the majority and minority reports in regard to
shortening the hours in the elementary schools
until March % when a special meeting will be
held. The real question involves the elimination
so-called "fads' advocated by Commissioner
Stern.
A special committee was appointed TO consider
changes in the hope of aboishing the half-time
system 1t proposed by Commissioner Stern
10 reduce the day in the elementary schools from
five hours to three and one-haf hours. The ma
jority report opposed this plan In his argument
Mr.. Stern said in part.
No one can dispute the position which Germany
holds IN the educational world. and the statistics
snow very plainly than the hours of study mere
are three and one-haf In the schools of Germany

and manual training taught. but not 10 the
pupils Of the first three years
Commissioner John Greene contended that the
public possessed hazy idea to what essential
studies were. He further remarked that those
studies which some years ago We're considered un-
essential are now considered bV educators as

Oakley said:
