Extend the Water Supply.

The report of Chief Engineer Lewis OF
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment recommending that the city extend
the Catskill water supply by taking IN
sources in the Schoharie Valley does not
agree entirely with the views expressed
by Mayor Mitchell before Senator Browns
legislative committee. Such extension VIII
unqucstionably be necessary within few
years, but the Mayor there expressed him
self as In doubt whether the work should
be authorized now, or the city should wait
Until it actually needed the water. The
Board of Estimate, following the hearing
ON this subject scheduled for to-day. will
probably settle the question once for all.
This proposed extension will cost,
roughly, $22,OO0,00O. That is S6,5oO,OOO
less than the original estimate for the
development of Rondout and Schoharie
watersheds to obtain flow Of 260,0OO,O0
gallons daily-about $14,0O0,00O less, ac-
cording to President Strauss of the
Board of Water Supply, than such devel-
opment would actually cost. The Catskil!
aaueduct is built for a flow of 100000 600
gallons the Catskill supply is just half
that. The work proposed would take
about eight years to complete. By the
time this water could be delivered here
it is estimated by Mr.. Strauss that the
c;ty's population will have grown so that
this Schoharie water would be necessary
in order to make up daily allowance Of
l32 gallons a head, small allowance
when compared with Chicago's 1919 gal
Ions, Philadelpha's 200 gallons or Buff
ialo's 800 gallons.
If these estimates be correct, Chief En-
gineer Lewis's report assuredly should be
adopted by the Board of Estimate and the
new work authorized. There seem to be
other good reasons for such course.
The new Catskill supply will enable the
city to dispense with most of the water
which now it has 10 pump for Brooklyn
and Queens. thus meaning saving Of
about 81 100000 year. But as the city
grows further demands for water inev-
iIably will force the authorities TO resort
rore and more TO pumped water at in
creasing cost, so that possibly within the
Period required to obtain this Schoharie
water the saving from discontinuance Of
Jumping would be wiped out.
The city's water does not now pay for
itself, but careful figuring indicates that,
including the charges for this Schoharie
extension, it will have accumulated a sur
plus by 1920. and considerable surplus
bv 1925. If it doesn't extend now, it will
have a huge plant, the Catskill aqueduct,
running at half-capacity and producing
revenues the estimates regarding which
.how little likelihood of anything bat con-
tnued deficits.

WILSON MAY VISIT ARKANSAS
So We'll Pleased With Middle West
 Tour lie Fay0rs One South.

Washington, Fb. 5.-Presidnt Will son returned yesterday from his speaking trip for preparedness so well pleased with it's results that he will probably make another soon, unless some feature of the foreign situation prevents his absence from the capital. Officials indicated to night that the possibilities of the Lusitania situation present the only obstacle.
 If .he president goes, he will visit the South and possibly some far Vest ern states. MT. Wilson is convinced that his Middle Western trip was a success. He found at the White House he trayers telling him so, and scna- tors and representatives had received many similar messages. The presi- ceht has been invited to visit Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. as we'll as states in the Northwest and Far West. His advisers have told him there was need in the South particu- larly for special effort in favor of his preparedness program.
 The president will not lose the ad- vantage gained by his Middle Western trip, but will press for quick action by Congress on the army and navy bills.
 It is improbable the second trip will begin before February 10. The mass of routine business which accumulated during his absence and the Lusitania and Appam cases will be given his
