 Auueduct Supply.

The first of the Catskill water to go 70 Queens county, N. r.. has been pumped to Long Island city. The Flushing district will get the new wa Ser early this week. Other districts in Queens are supplied by private compa aieS and will not experience any change at this time.
 This new service increases the water pressure from ten to twenty five pounds. Owing to small pressure heretofore insurance companies have charged heavier rates on Long Island City factories and dwellings than in ether sections of the city. Repeated efforts have been made to force re- duction in rates, but those efforts were always answered with the low pres sure excuse. It is now believed the lower rates will be granted.
