RESERVOIRS KEEP GAINING.
Stony Brook Now 33 Inches Down and
 Fairvew 26 Inches.

Stony Brook reservoir now measures 33 inches down from full pond, and F'airview measures 26 inches, which shows a considerable gain for both res ervoirs in the past week. At the pres ent level of the two reservoirs most of the water that is used comes from Stony Brook, so that Fairview shows a faster rate of gain than Stony Brook now, and the difference in elevation in favor of Stony Brook also results in that reservoir acting as a feeder to some extent to Fairview on the princi- pie of a syphon.
 The rainfall on Sunday was 1.31 inches.
