Waste of 10000 Gallons Daily
in Central Park.

No one knows for how long a time
thousands of gallons Of water have been
going TO waste daily because Of an I'M
dergTound leak beneath the Arsenal, in
Central Park. The geyser was discovered
yesterday by employees OF the Water De-
partment after search lasting three
weeks. 1t was estimated by one of the
men in charge that approximately 10000
gallons of water had been going to waste
daily for an indefinite length Of time. An
other OF the employees said It was possible
the leak had been going on since 1893.
Employees OF the Park Department, how
ever, say they would have been able to
hear It had the water been gushing out
for that length Of time.
AS there are three mains leading into
the park, two OF which were installed 10
provide for any such emergency when
the supply was shut OFF I'm the leading
