WESTCHESTER TOWNS DRY
Far More Serious Water Short
age than Last Year Feared.

The outlook for relief in the water
situation in Mount Pleasant and Greenburs
is very dark and a water famine far more
serious than that OF last year is only a
question Of days now" said a Representative
Of the Consolidated Water Company in
Tarrytown last night. I'VE hope for rain,
and unless II somes the Pocautco Lake,
from which we get our supply, will run
dry in three weeks at the longest
The Consolidated Water Company sup
plies the villages of Hastings Dobbs Ferry
Scarsdale and North TGrrytown. Last year
it's supply went dry and 1T had 10 appeal
TO New York for help, but no such help
can he looked for this year. Tarrytown
cannot help. as it needs all its water for
its own village.
An investigation Yesterday showed that the
Pocantco Lake was about ten feet below
normal with only one days supply OF
water in the reservoir. Al the feeders
have dried up. In Hastings the situation
is considered so critical that representative
citizens are circulating a petition addressed
20 Charles u. Willard, Supervisor asking
him to call a special election for the people
TO vote 70 buy Pocantico Lake and build a
large dam for storage purposes. This petit
ton has NOT as yet been presented 20 the
town Supervisor. and few people have little
hone that II could be carried.
The peoples only help must come from

pany last year tapped the Croton aqueduct
and got from the city million gallons OF
water a day. The Consolidated Water
Company has its pipes connected with the
aqueduct at Ardsley, and II permission
were granted by New York the water couid
be pumped into the companys pipes within
a few hours notice.
