City So Dry
Added Water
Supply Needed
Engineers OH Hunt Outsidc
2OO-Milc Drained Radius
to Find New Sources for
Stalking Municipal Thirst
Years Ration ON Hand
In II Months $I69.OOO.OOO
Is Expended in Buildings
TO Increase Allowances

THIRSTY New York City. which now
drains every large watershed within q
radius of more than 200 miles to sun
ply ITS inhabitants with duilv ration
OF '3oOoO.0O0 gallons of water is
searching the state 'or new sources of
supply, according to The Associated
Press.
commissioners OF the Board of
water Supply announced Yesterday
that forty engineers and surveyors,
with staffs Of assistants, have been
sent throughout the state to seek new
rainshcds and reservoir sites which
may be used when the present supply
proves inadequate to the rapidly in
cfnaS NT demands Of tho city.
rants of the engineering and survey
'ng stan arc taking soundings IN the
upper NatSklls. according to the New
! o'k commissioners. Other members
of the staff are making surveys of the
land surrounding the headwatcrs of
the Delaware River
Money Spent on Water
Tho annual report of the Board Of
Water Supply discoses that New York
spent $l69,000.OoO in 1921 in the con-
structlon OF new reservoirs, aqucducts
and subtcrrancan tunnels to increase
the source of supply already available.
The report reveals that tho city now
has constantly in reserve, in its three
largest reservoirs, 10000, 100000 gal
Ions. This, according to members Of
the board of supply, would serve New
York for almost a year should all
sources of supply, for some unforc-
seen cause, fail simultaneously.
More and more water is being used
by New York. not for drinking pur-
poses, especially, but by the constantly
growing industrial certers, according
to }. Waldo Smith. chief engineer Of
the Board Of Water Supply.
Fifty years ago" Said Mr.: Smith.
"our commissioners thought they had
perfected a system of supply which
would meet the demands Of the city for
300 years. Yet it has been necessary
since then to multiply the supply by
three large projects
Demands Growing Rapidly
at is impossible to say how long
the present supply and the aqucducts
under construction will suffice to keep
the mains supplied. Perhaps five years.
perhaps twenty years. 1t all depends
upon what is accepted az the probable
growth of the domestic and industrial,
population over given period
BY its latest project, the Glboa dam
and the Schoharic reservoir now under
construction to store the waters Of the
Schoharie River in the Catskils, New
York will receive supply from 25l
miles distant. In open conduits, sub
merged aqucducts and trestled mains it
will be siDhoned to the city. passing
under rivers, through mountains and
beneath railroads.
Should the Board Of Water Supply
decide that its best future source lies
in the upper reaches of the Delaware
River. tr-state riparian treaty, rati-
fed by New York, Pennsylvania and
Delaware. would become necessary. Of
icials assert. Plans for a treaty of
this nature have been under consdera-
tion for some time.

Blair Promises so More
Dry agents for Ne,c York
Internal Reuenuc Head Here
Conters Hiih Day Regarding
L0tter'S Clash With Cofro,n

Flfty prohibition agents soon arc TO
be added to the present force in New
York, 1t was said yesterday by David
II. Blair, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Blair came from Wash
lngton yesterday morning with his
wife. for recreation, he said. and left
on the midnight train.
1T is true he said chat | have
discussed the controversy that has
arisen between Director Ralph A. Day
and Colonel Herbert Catrow over the
issuance of a withdrawal permit for
900 cases of whisky. | discussed the
matter to-day informally with Director
Day.
we are well within our appropria-
ton in the prohibition unit of the
treasury Department. The prohibition
unit furnished most of our perplexing
problems. because the law is new and
difficult to enforce. 1t is particularly
difficult TO enforce in New York CITY
You cannot reform 5000 600 people in
a few weeks and that is all Mr.. Dav
has held Office. | believe he is ac
complishing much and will ACCOMPLISH
more. ] approve of the reorganization
he is effecting and the new system of
handling permits.
"Alcohol furnishes the most perplex-
ing problem. 1t is withdrawn for so
many purposes and denatured alcohol
1inds its way into beverages, and the
death total is appalling. We have a
report of forty-seven deaths in New
York City alone since Christmas from
alcohol poisoning.
Prohibition is making money for
the government. but that money is not
available to us. We have to contine
curse Ives to the appropriation, but we
will have ever-increasng appropria-
tions until the law is enforced.'
Asked if prohibition enforcement,
would be taken out Of politics, the
commissioner said:
Il didn't know it was in politics. We
are trying to get the most efficient men
We can and are arranging for their ad-
vancement if they stay in the service
and prove efficient. Director Day has
the appointing Of the agents in New
York and am sure he gets the best
men he can"
Prohibition enforcement in New
York City last year was reported to
have cost 1926. 900 on an estimate. II
vss said that 100000 of this was for
warehouse rent for seizures and that
II ore than 100000 would be forthcom-

a tear such as he never had known
before, had possession OF him. MANY
many times ne had known fear-fear
OF enemies who were seeking to catch
him. That is fear that the smaller
people OF the Green Forest know AL
most every day of their lives.
But this was q new and STRANGE

Chatterer had never dreamed he
would ever know, for always since
his first year he had worked hard
and laid away food in days of plenty
for the days when food might be hard
to find. His whole life long he
had been truly thrifty Many of his
ne!ghbors knew that fear. knew it

1t never had come before.
Now, with his biggest storehouse
empty and his other storehouses so
covered with ice that he could not get
INTO them, the fear that he might not
be able to get enough to eat had

the greater because he had never

storehouse, OF to the places where
these storchouses we're, he ran, hop

he could get. But the hollow stamps
and logs which were his storehouses
were covered with snow and heavy
coating Of ice through which he could
not make hole.
1t was the same with the little piles
of pine cones he had made, Intending
to get the seeds in them when he
needed them. Perhaps there were still
some cones clinging to the trees. Hope
fully he went to look. Then he made a
discovery that filled his heart with de-
spair. The trees were so coated with
hard ice that he could not climb
them, No, sir, he couldn't Even
his sharp claws could get no hold
on that smooth, slippery ice. Was
ever a Red Squirrel in such trouble
before?
For long time he hunted among
the broken branches on the ground,
honing to find some cones there. He
did find few. but most Of these were
