cross those deep glacial gorgeS, barely
indicated at present by the small chan
nels of such streams as Rondout and
Moodna Creeks, tunnels will be driven
in solid rock far below the surface of
the ground. These will be lined with
concrete and in them the water win
flow under pressure, dropping down
into a deep shaft at the northerly end
of each pressure tunnel and rising again
in a similar shaft at the southerly.
The cost of the entire system has
been estimated at s2,OOO.000. Despite
this, it viii not be a heavy burden per
capita. There is no doubt that by the
time New York is enjoying the bene-
fits of the new system, its population
Will probably have reached 1000 900.
Twenty-Five yearly payments of ninety
cents per person will defray the cost,
In return the new system will supply
water for private, manufacturing and
public uses at the rate of $50 gallons
for each person daily, forty more per
capita than Rome, formerly world
leader in this respect, now supplies her
people. Experience has proved that the
waterworks of all large cities, if rea-
sonable rates are charged, have suffi-
cient earning capacity, to pay for their
operation and to replace the sum ex-
pended in their construction. There
fore, New York practically only lends
it's credit for the construction.
The cost of the present Croton sys-
tenn which, when fully completed, is to
supply 25.000,000 gallons of unfiltered
water to the Burough of Manhattan
and part of the Bronx, will approx
mate S90,000.000. The contract for the
Ashokan Reservoir has been let, and it
is generally believed by those in charge
of the work that the system will be
completed as far as the present Croton
Reservoir in five years. 1t viii be
more than double that time, however,
bt fere the aqueduct under East River
and New York bay will give Brooklyn
and Staten Island their much-needed |
relief.
Even then, the problem will be only |
partially solved, for the city's popula- |
ton is always increasing faster than
its improvements, and by the time the /
Catskill system is completed New /
York's demands will have outdistanced |
the supply of water, and it viii be nee /
essary to go far beyond the Catskills /
and build reservoirs in the Adiron- ,
dacks. The present plan is to send an
additional supply of between five hun !

000, eco. 1t is estimated that by 1915
the population of Greater New York
will be 5,260.000 and its water con-
sumption 710,000,000 gallons, 250,000,000
above the present water supply. BY
1880 the population will have increased
to almost 100000, and the consump-
lion of water to over a billion gallons
dejIy.
Surprising the consumption per cap
tia remained precisely the same, the
increase of population at thirty to
thirty-f1ve per cent. each decade
would mean that the quantity of water
must be doubled in three decades. But
the quantity of water used per capita
is increasing rapidly, not only in New
York, but in all large European cities.
New York is less wasteful in the use
of Wa ter than many other large cities.
That city uses about 125 gallons per
capita each day. There is less waste
than is generally supposed. A promi-
nent engineer is authority for the
statement that if every tap in New
York were metered, and all the meas
ures needed to prevent waste were put
in operation. but five gallons per head
of population would be saved annually.
The water bill was introduced in the
state legislature of New York in 1905
at the request of Mayor Mcclellan.
It specified certain civic bodies from
which the commissioners in charge of
the work were to be selected. This
provision made the measure unconsti-
tutional. and it. had to be amended
by lodging the power of appointment
in the mayor. He established the pre-
cedent of appointing on this board
member each from the Chamber Of
Commerce of New York, the Board of
Fire Underwriters, and the Manufac- |
turers Association. j. waldro Smith, |
the expert on aqueduct and water sup |
ply engineering, who is chief engineer |
on the work, draws a salary of $4,000 /
a year as a measure of his competency. |
He is only forty years old and since |
leaving college has devoted his entire |!
time to this branch of engineering.

stantially every borough of the great
city, according to a prominent engi-
neer, is in grave danger of a water
famine. which can only be averted
by care and strict economy in
dry seasons, and by the greatest
expedition in constructing the works
for the new supply Should the
Croton reservoirs be empty at the
close of a dry season, the supply
would be cut down one-sixth, closing
factories, and increasing the danger of
fire. The city remembers the time only
ten years ago when Brooklyn endured
water famine without precedent in
American history. Houses on upper
levels went without city water for
days. public fountains were cut off,
horse troughs empty, street sprinkling
discontinued. and the supply of water,
only a-day ahead, was So low as to be
near the lines of contami-
nation and disease. To avert such dis
asters in the future, New York is
spending millions on her new system.

But One Rule,

There is but one rule of
strict morality that a man
can adopt. That would be to
live as pure and perfect a life
as he would have his wife live
to avoid associations, habits
and language that he would
have her avoid. The old
idea of one scale of morals
for the man and another for
the woman is very wrong, and
until a young man is ostra
cised from society by the
same act that would turn the
young woman out in the cold
world, social standing is a
farce.
The life blood of the future
is the bounding pulse of our
little ones. No son or daugh-
ter should be allowed to
leave the shelter oil home
ignorant of those principles
that underlie good govern
ment. Will the boy who is
taught the sweet law Of obed-
fence for loves sake, in the
tender years of childhood, be
likely to rebel when he is
called upon to obey those
laws that are made for the
preservation of our country
and good of the people? Will
not the boy brought up to
hold in respect all that goes
to make up a noble man and
Womanhood abide by these
teachings when he steps into
the broader fields that lie be-
fore him? Will the girl
brought up with such a
brother give her future in
come keeping of a young man
who SCOTS at religion, defies
the law that makes all social
life desirable, and lets his
reason and judgement be led
off by every will-o'-the wisp
that turks at every morass
and slough to lead weak men
to destruction? Should We
need to fear the future if we
do our whole duty? Let us
place our ambitions high, to
make men, loyal men and
true.
