Sir: An editorial in The Tribune Of yesterday
quotes from a BinEhaInton paper an Incorrect
statement il regard to my address before The New
York Dairynen's Association
I did not consume the greater part of his (my)
time with an attack directed against the milk
dealers OF Hew-York city" Neither did say ''the
farmers sell their milk for and half cents
d quart. and the same milk. greatly watered and
SKINNED q number OF times, is sold ia NewY ork
City for seven cents quart" hut I did say the
average price paid the farmers FOR milk delivered
AT the door Of the shipping staten for the last
vear was about two and one-quarter cents d quart
for which the actual consumer paid about an
average price Of seven cents a quart also said
..Tue great source of adulteration or milk is the
skinlnlng in the station after the milk has left
the hands of the farmer. In addition, skinlming

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SOURCE OF NEW WATER SUPPLY.
Correspondent Says Adirondacks or Lake
Champlain Should Be Tapped
the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I am pleased to note in your paper which
I have been reading for a long time that you are
taking great in the water supply question
of this city and that you have from the beginning
tried to lead a way to accomplish the desired
supply without influence trespassing upon any
bodys rights.
When we had the Ranapo bubble on hand It
the Merchants Association that pricked it.
but from all appearances it is still slunperlns
and there is no doubt In my mind that If there Is
any supply drawn from the Catsk region you
will find the Ranapo scheme right in 1t. AS MI

Moodna and other streams IN that region Will
give 3O0OO0GG0 more. Those. added to our pres

rates of use and waste, for city Of 100000
people, or two and one-half times as large as
New-York is. At the rate at which water
is consumed In London, Paris and other cities 1t
would be enough for city Of 20,000OO0. We
think such a supply sufficient for the present
generation TO provide AS to Lake Champlaln'
there three objections to it, each of which Is
grave, and ali of which, put together are prac-
tically insuperable: The greater part of the lake
lies outside of New-York State, and IS thus NOT
subject to NETWORKS control; the water is not
pure enough to use without thorough filtration.
and the lake lies at so low level that every
drop of water would have to be pumped to an
elevation Of at least three hundred feet.l
