quate for her ever growing demands
and she Immediately sets about pro-
viding for more. When the Croton
reservoir was completed, It was gen
orally supposed that the city would
have enough water to drink, enough to
bathe In and enough to use for laun-
dry and other purposes for years to
come, but It seems that the 81. 900 .O00-

T. -ervoir is but beginning Of wet times

In addition by the construction CT the
kensico reservoir that is to be built
in Westchester county in the Cats
kills. 100 miles away.
There. in the very heart OF the
county, lake is to be constructed
more than four miles in length and
averaging about half mile In width.
1t win be the storage reservoir for
the immense volume OF water that Is
poured down from the Catskill conn
ties
To build this big lake one entire
town and part Of another will have to
be wiped out, while many farmers will
have to give up their homes. But for
the inconvenience which Westchester
folks suffer they will be compensated
many fold by having a lake of great
scenic beauty.
Some idea of the immensity OF this
storage is afforded in the fact that 1t
will be 80 miles around Its shore line.
That is a good deal further than a
man would want to drive for pleasure
on Sunday afternoon. 1t will con-
tain an island more than mile in
length, and three beautiful peninsulas
ranging from half mile to one mile
in length will iut out into its crystal
body.
This lake will be located In the
townships Of Mount Pleasant, Har-
rison and North Castle. 1t will begin
at valhalla. where the present Kenis-
co reservoir dam is located, and will
extend north through valleys formed
by an arm Of the Bronx and the Bear

I mean" he explained, that every

as the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion Of Spain and France. In them. too
are to be found inscriptions that tell
OF sweet Creole romances, such as
that Of Jeanne Laclede, the popular
singer Of neatly century ago. who
died Of broken heart.
