ti0nment Plans.
IBy telegraph to The tribune. ]

Albany, April 24.-Decision between the Par
sons and Odeu plans for reapportioning New
York County is up 70 the Legislature, and
the leaders of both factions are here to battle
for their plans. The Reapportionment Com
mittee of the Senate probably viii meet on
Thursday. Congressman Parsons. president OF
the New York County Republican Committee.
determined that factionaI squabbles should not
mar the reapportiOnment, came TO this city to-
day to stay until the committee had threshed
out the Reapportionment bill. William Halpin
champion Of the Odell plan. is also here. to stay
until Thursday at least
Considerable doubt exists as to whether the
Reapportionment bill be prepared for in
PRODUCTION this week. If the committee does not
meet on Thursday the bill will in all probability
hold over until next week then TO be pushed
through without any time for an extended bat
tie. With the date Of adjournment fixed and the
prospect of an extra session staring them in the
face according to the Governors announcement
unless the redistricting of the state We're COM
pleted before adjournment, the upstate leaders
from whom opposition 10 the committees plan
has been expected win hesitate long before at
tempting TO deadlock the Legislature the
subject according to the views here.
Congressman Parsons held long conference
with the Governor to-day. He declined 10 ex-
press himself it's result. but feels confident
that ms plan VIII prove accepraD4e 10 Jne fe-
apportionment committee. because it is truly a
party plan.
The Odell plan is narrow" said he. 'Tt is
not for the party's good, but plainly for the
benefit Of factions. felt this 1 looked II over
and 1 realized that I was in a measure response
BILE for whatever was done in this reapportion-
ment. So 1 came up here. determined 70 present
my views to the legislative committee and stay
here until all was over, doing what could TO
accomplish the best for the Republican party"
Those who know the Governors views the
subject aware that those are precisely his
sentiments. and that the reappOrtionment battle
Will be in way merely preliminary 10 the con-
f1ict pending in the state committee, in which
the Governor hopes 10 see Chairman Odell sup
planted. Congressman Parsons will have the
Governors support for his plan for New York
County. and those well informed say no COM
promise with the Odell people viii be considered
for a moment
Mr. Halpin. on the other hand while he de-
Clined TO comment on the situation, seemed con-
fdeut that the Odell plan would prevail Its
adoption by the New York County Committee
Will give it prestige here, its supporters believe
although they realize that the Governors indu-
ence Will be against it

WATER WASTE, 100000.
Inspectors Say Central Has Had
Free Hydrants for Tzcenty Years.

The most glaring case Of misuse OF city
water ever discovered by the Department OF
Water Supply" was reported to Register Padden
by two Of his inspectors. according 10 Comnlis-
sioner Ellson's Endorsement on the report The
culprit is the New York Central Railroad Com
pany. and the value OF the water used mis-
used without payment is estimated at from
100000 TO 100000.
The railroad company owns the yards. 59th TO
7Oth street, on both sides of Twelfth avenue.
and leases the street and bulkheads from the
city. Within that area there are, according 10
Hannah and Cook. the inspectors. fifteen water
hydrants, which have been in place for at least
twenty years and have never been metered. At
a moderate estimate the value of the water used
annually exceeds $1,000, and if the water was
used and wasted at the rate reported by Han
nan and Cooke its value must have exceeded
$1,000 year.
The inspectors have better evidence than their
report Cooke is an expert photographer, and
while Hannah investigating. Cooke was TAX
ing pictures. Commissioner Ellison intends TO
use the photographs as evidence in the suit he
VIII institute TO recover the value Of the water
he estimates has been stolen from the city. In
the mean time Register Padden has ordered all
the hydrants metered-
IN their reports the inspectors say they found
four hydrants on Pier 50. at 59th street where
nine tugs and two floats were watered in
one forenoon. one hydrants they found open
and the water running into the North River
with evidence that it had been running all night
Several hydrants were found slightly open. ap-
parenty to let the water run and obviate any
danger Of freezing.
At 65th street the inspectors saw employees
Of the railroad company string a hose from
city hydrant and fill 800 barrels with water
Hannah had a talk with one OF the men. and
Cooke snapped a picture Of them.
The report, which is made in detail describes
the condition Of every hydrant, and says that
attempt has been made TO keep them in repair
or 10 be economical with the water.
Register Padden's weekly report to the Com
missioner shows an increase OF S1O41S p over
the receipts for the corresponding week Of last
year. The first quarter Of 1906 shows S124.-
40 10 over the first quarter Of 1905.
