takings necessary to secure water for an
American city may be gained from the
work that the city Of New York is doing
in the Croton watershed.
An Enormous Undertaking.
Since 1892 the city has been building near
Croton-on-t he Hudson a dam for a reser-
voir whose lergth is 1912 miles: area 3,425
acres, and capacity. 32.000,GOo.00o gallons.
The length of the dam proper is 1900 feet,
OF the spllway, 1000 feet its lowest point
OF foundation is 1874 feet below, and its top
100 feet above the bed of the river: While
its thickness of masonry at the base is ZIG
feet, ana on the dams top is a roadway 10
feet wide This is the biggest piece OF stone
work undertaken since the pyramids were
built, and il will take two years to fill the
reservoir behind it. The water was turned
into the reservoir only n few weeks ago,
the work still to be done on the dam be-
ing along the top.
A million cubic yards of stone have al
ready been used, and a half million more
must be put in place before the dam can be
called completed. The stone has been
brought from quarry seven miles away,
over a railroad specially constructed for
the purpose, and 1850 men have been at
work on dam and reservoir excavations for
several years past. This improvement has
called for the condemnation of numerous
farm lands, one village entirely and a part
of another, and scores of factories have
been compelled to suspend. Already the
dam alone has cost the city $S,00o000 and
the land for the reservoir millions more. To-
date New York's present system Of water
supply has eaten up cool hundred mil
lion dollars, exclusive of the million an

LOSE By STRIKE.

Some one has figured it out that the
PETERBOROUGH Company of New York.
will make money out of the recent
strike, The cost of the strike on the
road will be borne by the strikers
themselves. Each striker that comes
back to work does so as a new man is
put to work at the lowest rate on the
sliding scale of wages, no matter
what pay he may have been getting
when the strike was declared. Motor
men. for instance. who. after a years
service. Were paid $3.50 a day. are
taken back at $500 a day, the wage
at which they started. There are
about 900 motormen employed by the
company and of these about 600 have
been at work long enough to get the
$3.50 rate. They now go back to
work at $500. and the company will
therefore save $500 day, without
counting the saving on motormen
who received s325. 1t will be six
months before these men are adj.
vanced to the $325 rate. and in that
time, for the motormen alone, the
company will save at least SIS, 900.
