NO SYMPATHY FOR ULSTER
Go0er1or Sees No Danger to County
Conference on Water.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Albany. March Ex-Governor Higgins ex-
pressed no sympathy to-day with the residents
Of Ulster County, who have been SO strenuous
in their opposition to New-York City's plea for
permission take water from Esopus and
Catskill creeks.
Il have found" said the Governor, that they
fear conditions which will not exist Misleading
statements have been made about the danger
to Ulster County from the encroachment of the
New York water supply system For instance.
I have heard it said that the county would have
TO sacrifice half its territory. To-day I went
over the map Of the county with Professor Will
lam H. Burr and William E. Curtis an aqueduct
commissioner of New-York. and found that the
proposed plans would take only eighteen square
miles-a small proportion OF the countys whole
area. These eighteen miles would include q few
small hamets. but the proposed bill viii afford
them ample protection. There is no reason why.
if they like they may not follow the example
of one Of the Massachusetts villages when the
Boston water supply system was constructed
and move back to higher ground"
The Governor spent some time this afternoon
with Messrs Burr and Curtis discussing the
water supply question. While advocating Mayor
McCIellan's bill. they told the Governor that
they were in favor Of any measure that would
give the city practical relief soon as possi-
BILE They talked of several minor amendments
to the State Water Commission bill, the object
of which, the Governor said, is to define its pro-
visions, prevent delay and facilitate the work of
the commission
In reference to the opposition to the tax meas
ures now before the legislature, the Governor
remarked

condition which existed when I first came here
Everybody wants the other fellow taxed, but
objects TO any tax that affects him.
