CITY WILL SUPPLY
WATER FOR ISLAND.


Borough President Cromwell, of
Richmond, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived letter from the directors of
the Staten Island Water Supply Com
pany in which they agreed to accept
the offer of New York city to pay
$1,100,000 for the plant which at
present supplies the section of Staten
Island known as the North Shore. 1t
is probable now that the city will
take hold of the plant within a few
days.
BY its purchase of this plant the
city now owns the entire water supply
OF Staten Island. A few weeks ago
the city purchased the plant of the
Crystal, Water Company on the East
Shore, paying in the neighborhood
of $1,000,000 for it. 1t had owned
and been operating the Tottenville
plant for some time.
Staten Islanders, especially those
living in ST. George and New Brigh-
ton, will rejoice at tho news of the
purchase of the plant by the city.
During the fall and this winter in
many homes the water was shut off.
and the only way of getting water to
them was by barrels, which the water
company supplied with wagons.
