Loud walls of protest over the manner in which the new customs rules at this port are being enforced are heard with the arrival of practi- cally every steamer from abroad. Cur iously enough the officers of the great ocean liners seem to have felt the burden most heavily and the recent experiences of some of them have stirred up all sorts of criticism Many of the experiences under the new rules are remarkable, suych for in stance as that of Captain Turner of one of the largest trans Atlantic craft
Arizona republican., 1909-08-30

Not less than 200. .0O0. .OOO tons. or 400, ,000, ,000.00 pounds of rain and snow drop on this city every year, ac- cording to the calculations of engi- nee, and the new record set during the recent storm when G.OOO 900 tons of water fell on Manhattan in twenty four hours, has accentuated the ser iousness of the problem of what is held to be the most difficult question that of providing for an underground and under river entrance to this city for a trunk line railroad is compara- lively simple. and the disposal of rain fall, amounting in a year to a quantity equal to a good sized lake is an en- gineering problem which is giving all sorts of difficulty. The existing sew CT systems of all the five boroughs. which constitute Greater New York, are at present greatly OyertaXed. The plans from which they were built were based on formulas in vogue forty or fifty years ago. These early formulas make provision for rainfall at a max imum rate of an inch an hour. It ire quently happens today that three in ches of rain will fall in an hour. and as a result the city engineers are fac ed with the necessity of providing storm sewer accommodations capable of caring for a flow as large as that of many navigable streams Paradox ical as it may sound, the city today is spending hundreds of millions of dol lars to get water by its new aqueduct supply system and is faced with the necessity of spending an almost equal ly large amount to get water out of the city.
