HUDSON
WATER FOR
DRINKING

Alb.ny, Feb. 3-The probable necessity
Of New York city having recourse ulti-
mately TO the Hudson river for It's supply
Of water is made the text, by the state
water supply commission In its first an
nual report to the legislature OF a dis
cusslon OF the importance OF the state
protecting all its rivers from pollution.
The commission reports that it has
been occupied chiefly in considering 'le
needs Of New York city for an increased
water supply. The application OF that
municipality for permission 10 establish n
water system in the CatskiI region at
an expenditure OF over SIC O00, 600. which
involves the taking OF miles 81 watershed
and wiping out the habitation OF several
communities the commission declares to
be "A problem never equalled I'm importance
by any heretofore proposed In this coun
try. The matter is stlll under consdera-
ton.
From the statement OF eminent en-
gineers." says the report. 1T seems al
together probable that New York city
must eventually utilize the waters OF tho
Hudson river either from its source in
the Adirondacks or more economically
perhaps at a point above Poughkeepsie.
1T seems proper. therefore, at this time
ITO call special attention 10 the movement
for the publication and protection OF
streams and rivers which have been car
ried out with such success in Europe. and
which must ultimately put an end to the
plan OF making scavengers OF running
waters
Similar efforts have been made i'm some
states and should be earnestly continued
I'm New York.
'lt may take years to accomplish this
work. but II il could be earnestly prose
cuted now, and especially directed 10 the
publication OF the largest waterway In
the state the Hudson river, IL would he
easier % years hence FOR New York city
to obtin an additional supply of water
from that great river. The Hudson river
now supplies water TO several cities along
its course.
1t is not too early for the state to take
active steps to relieve this and all other
streams and waterways in the state from
harmful pollution"
The report OF Myron S. Falk. consulting
engineer. suggests that the state issue
certificates OF purity for water supplies
precisely as is done in the case OF milk
by local boards OF health. and that all
leglsla tion excluding one municipality
from obtaining water rights in another
county be repealed
This would permit New York city TO
obtain it's extra supply OF water in Ouch
ess and Suffolk counties.
