ter County are about to raise their water
rates. there is a plan on foot by the cities
Of Yonkers and Mount Vernon to pur-

water from the city OF New York upon
the completion OF the aqueduct
The price for this water named I'm the
act is 1913 per million gallons. When the
cost OF distribution and maintenance or
the distributing system is added TO this
cost 1t puts the price OF water out OF rea-
son. Because Of this expense. the West

the Mount Vernon Chamber Of Com
merce and the Mayor are fathering a bill

that the bill he advocates Is TO authorize
the purchase OF water from New York at
the rate OF $50 per million gallons.
The connection would be made with
Bryn Mawr siphon, and II would he nee
essary TO condemn the present pipe sys-
tenn In Mount Vernon or else lay new
