100000 FOR
WATER PLANT
YOnkers to Build One of
Best Reservoirs in
the State.

Yonkers, the thriving city on the
Hudson River, is going to enlarge its
municipal water plant. 1t is now an
nounced that it will spend about 49,
100000 in adding to its water supply
so that it will have one of the finest
reservoirs and additional watersheds
in the state.
1t is now announced that Corpora
ton Counsel Curran will apply to the
Supreme Court next week for the ap-
pointment of commissioners OF apprals-
al to condemn $50 acres of land in the
Grassy Sprain Valley to make room
for the new supply of water. The
commissioners will make awards for the
land taken from the owners and then
the city will begin the work of clear
ing up the land which will surround
the present reservoir and which will
be inundated when the big dam is
constructed.
Among those whose property will be
condemned will be former Alderman
Seymour Mooney, j. W. Sterling, Will
lam Gilman, Elizabeth a. Courier. C..
W. McMullen, Fred II. Bell. DR.. John
W. Courly. S. NJ. Rarsbeck, Arabella
Huntington, X. X. Niela. L. Lawrence.
Jacob Leitner, Elizabeth Acker. Henry
2. Booth, William Moneypenny and the
Sprain Ridge Realty Company.
The new dam. which will be erected
below the present structure, will be
$50 feet in length and seventy feet
high. 1t will dam up large volume
of water covering about three square
miles. The present reservoir Is only
about half that size.
1t is believed that the new supply OF
water will be sufficient to meet the
demands of Yonkers for fifteen years
at the present rate of growth.
In connection with the condemna-
ton of land to make room for the
larger reservoir it will be neces-
sary TO take part of the graveyard
owned by the Church Of the Holy
Communion, in the town OF Green
burgh. The land to be seized from the
church consists of sixteen acres, but
so far there are no graves in this
tract.
Mayor James T. Lennon has been
anxious to see thar Yonkers gets an
adequate supply of water, so that
there will be no chance OF a drought
in the future. as there was IN the
sumner of 1911. and has therefore
worked hard to have thy new project
carried out,

Paulin Boulevard House.

The announcement last week that the
big S250,0O0 plant of he Universal Film
Company, of Leonia, n. j.. will be

next thirty days, has created quite an
active realty market in the section. The
new plant will employ regularly over
FIVE hundred persons, and many Of
them desire TO rent or buy homes in

This week one of the finest homes on
the property of the Leonia Heights

a director of the Universal. This house
is located at the Paulin Boulevard and
Allaire av., and was held at $4,000. The

TAX RECEIVERS
BREATHE EASIER
Attorney General Wood
bury Dispels Doubt in
Westminster.

The town tax receivers have been
somewhat relieved from the confusion
they were placed in, owing to the
county tax muddle regarding their
right to collect school md village
taxes. This relief came in the form
of an opinion from Attorney General
Woodbury., who holds that they can
collect school taxes due now.
His opinion in part follows: The
theory has always been that a school
trustee is not a local officer of coun-
", city, town or village, but special
officer engaged in the conduct OF a
state function as a convenience for the
exercise thereof, in order that the state
sytem of free common school educa-
ton could be carried on throughout
the state in conformity with the con-
stituional provision therefor.
at is, therefore, my conclusion that
school district officers not being local
officers their functions may be taken
from them by the Legislature and town
officers substituted without violating
the home rule provisions of the constl-
tuition.
THE Pelham case simply decided
that the right 10 assess and correct
taxes for village purposes cannot pc
taken away from the village. Whlle
the function of the village officers IN
assessing and collecting taxes Tor VII,
lage purpos - cannot be abrogated, and
the Legislature cannot substitute town
officers therefor, the Westchester Coun-
~ tax act can be sustained in so far as
the state seeks TO convenience ltseif
in the collection of school taxes for
state purposes by the substitution oil
town officers in the place Of the officers
heretofore employed for the purpose
and there is no invasion OF the rights
OF the locality under the home rule
provision"
