RippIes ON the Current of Life In the
Metropolis.
New York has an abundance OF water on
all sides, but the quantity suited for drink
ing purposes lie barely equal TO the present
demand. Millions upon millions OF dollars
have been Invested In securing the present
supply from the Croton watershed When
originally planned this supply was consid-
cred suficient to meet all demands for gem
erations to come Yet the growth Of the
city is 90 rapid as to upset all calculations
on this prime necessary. Even before the
Croton plans are fully completed the city
authorities are considering plans for addi-
tional water supply 20 meet the needs Of
the future. These new plans comprehend
securing new watersheds in the Catskill
mountains at an estimated cost OF $4,000,
oOo capable of supplying 5O0,0OO,oO0 gallons a
day. AS usual, the estimates large as they
appear, are regarded as only fraction OF
the cost. An investigation of the legal
phases Of the problem convinced the city
attorney that the expense OF the project. II
all demands were met, would amount to
t500.0OO,Co0 Purchase Of the property needed
is but fraction Of the cost. Not only is
compensation asked where mills. factories
and other business enterprises would be
| wiped out, but every resident grocer,
butcher, doctor clothier. laborer. etc. has
put In demands. II met with, the claims
would literally amount to life pension to
the recipients.

The business men and farmers out in
Butler county, Nebraska, who have de-
clared a freight and passenger boycott
against the two railroads that have re-
fused to pay their taxes, have adopted a
unique but effective way OF getting even
with the railroads for the Inconvenience
to which they have been subjected in
pocket and purse since the roads have
been In arrears. Owing to the present
heaviness OF the grain trafic, it is said
that in a few days the roads will lose an
amount equal to all taxes assessed against
them.

The rantankerOus Gathers has hereto
fore invoked the power of the courts to

municipal funds and prevent overlaps,
but now he has invoked the power Of
injunction to restrain the city from saw

city and county treasurer's offices. AS
there has always been method in Cath
ers' madness, his latest appeal to the
courts is evidently made for some client
or clients who are not taxpayers and
have no standing in court The query
naturally suggests itself, What pie-biter
does Gathers represent?
