THE CiTY'S WATER SUPPLY

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Our city can easily save over 500 go coo
by abandoning the scheme of getting water
from the Catskills. The scheme is . rnonu-
mental mistake. New Jersey can utilize
the water TO better advantage than our
city and supply Staten Island. The United
states Geological Survey has made n thor
ough examination NJ the UNDERGROUND
water OF Long Island and reports that
there is an ample supply for all time
It would be interesting to know why
law was enacted prohibiting the getting
Of any more water from the east side OF
the Hudson. The expense Of Il pine line
or aqueduct connecting Lake Charnpipin
with the Croton system would be A IVA ea-
tele in comparison to the present scheme
and we would have never-railing supply
and no more reservoirs. The 100000 90 or
moro would come IN handy for more suh-
ways. TPr-rrf5
