s;axe Eleventh avenue bill. for which Senator
SAKE now refuses TO stand. brought out to-day a
sharp interchange of courtesies between Senator
Page and Senator White, chairman Of the Senate
Cities Committee Senator Whites committee
reported the original SAKE bill. disregarding
numerous amendments presented by Senator
SAKE and Senator Page, in whose districts the
trouble lies. Senator Page remarked that doubt
less Senator White. from Syracuse. could repre-
sent the district better than he, but since the
people there had elected him he intended to have
q word 10 say about it. Thereupon Senator
White accused Senator Page of having been so
tied up with the utilities bill and other legisa-
ton that he had neglected this bill at the meet
ings of the committee.
Senator White declared in explanation Of the
committees action that the bill originally pre-
scented by Senator SAKE had been accepted by
Mayor Mcclellan. the Controller the Rapid
Transit Commission the New York Central Rail-
road and the Committee Of Fifty.
This subject is Of such Importance" he de-
clared that the committee thought some action
should be taken, and so reported this bill for the
consideration of the Senate. Nothing has been
accomplished under the law passed by the SEN

thing would be done under this bill. think it
would be wise 10 pass it, as the elements which

GOVERNOR INTERESTED
His Representatives. Studying Water
Pollution Problem.

Albany May 16.-Followng the report by
State Health Commissioner Porter to Governor
Hughes on the situation as to pollution of the
New York City water supply, representatives.
Of the Governor have taken up the problem. In
quiry will be made to satisfy the Governor
whether the state department has any jurisdic-
ton beyond what it has eXerted, whether the
city authorities have been lax in the exercise
Of their powers.
Dr. POrter's report made no recommendations
beyond the general Endorsement OF the sewer
disposal idea for Mount Kisco. and for the
declaration that primarily the defence Of the
purity Of the clty's water supply lay with the
city itself.
The executive department is now working to
ascertain whether some additional power should
be given TO the city officials or the state Off
Gals, or whether a general laxity of adminstra-
ton has been productive of the conditions which
rendered New York City liable to an epidemic
of typhoid from pollution of streams in it's
water supply territory, That the gravity of the
situation there is appreciated in the executive
department is shown by the promptitude with
which action on II has been taken.
The belief here is that before the department
is through with the case some decisive result
will have been produced for the distinct better
ment OF existing conditions.
