NEW YORK, May 4.—For such a wicked city—wicked in the sense of its reputation of wholesale Volstead violation —New ork drinks and otherwise uses a lot of water. The per capita consumption of water in the greater city is 109 gallons per day, an aggregate of 660,000,0*10 gallons of which 40,000,000 gallons are furnished by the private water companies of Brooklyn and Queens, the huge re-, mainder of 620.000,000 being drawn from four watersheds, the Croton, the Bryam, the Bronx and the Esopus or Catskill. Os the six million Inhabitants, more or less, of New York City, all but about 400,000 are supplied with water by the municipality which collects a water revenue amounting to about $15,000,000 per an-

Such 400,000 constituting a portion of the inhabitants of Brooklyn and Queens are the customers of the private water companies, which are in the process of being absorbed into the municipal water supply system which as a whole represents an outlay of about $350,000,000 in eighty years time. The total length of city owned water mains, varying in diameter from four to sixty-six inches, within the metropolis is about 3.000 miles, exclusive of high pressure fire service mains. Connected with them are 46,000 fire hydrants. There are about 397,000 connections, known as services, through which water is drawn for domestic or business purposes.

mains In Manhattan Is 128 miles, and in Brooklyn, forty-five miles, tapped by 4,000 high pressure hydrants. The combined New York City water supply with average rainfall In the watersheds can be counted upon to yield 750,000,000 gallons dally or 130,000,000 gallons more than is now being required. It comes down to the city by three aqueducts: the old Croton, thirty-eight miles long; the new Croton, thirty-three miles long, and the great Catskill aqueduct, extending ninety-tw'o miles from the Ashoken reservoir, fourteen mile3 west of Kingston, N. Y., and passing under the Hudson river, finally reaching the northern boundary of the metropolis. Threefifths of the water used is Catskill and two-fifths Croton. Catskill water is being used to nearly the full present capacity of the Catskill aqueduct because through its greater pressure it constitutes the least expensive of the supplies to operate. Thus we find Gotham chiefly dependant upon Its Catskill water, its latest and largest source of supply. I In the corner of a Fifth avenue bus

the othe;: morning sat a mac who seventeen years ago was roundly abused by the newspapers for his part in the carrying forward of the Catskill project His part was nothing less important than the appointment of the first board of water supply commissioners as he was mayor of New York at the time, and his name is George B. McClellan. It so happened that Mayor McClellan broke with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall and although a Democrat, he had been in political eclipse since finishing his term as mayor. However, during the World War ho was commissioned a major In the ordnance department, showing a military heritage, being the son of Gen. McClellan of the Union army In the Civil War. He has a beautiful country home. "The Water Tower," at Princton, where he is a professor at the university on the subjects of economics and history. As professor McClellan, leaning across the aisle In the bus, asked after various reporters who once covered the city hall there came a dry smile to his clean-cut features when I asked if he ever felt any misgivings over his part in the planning

of the Catskill water supply. "Only this,” he said, "we underestimated, rather than overestimated, the city’s future needs.” In New York City continues to increase in population and to use water at the same or a greater rate per person than now. It Is, of course, a quAtion of simple mathematics to compute the data when the city’s demand for water will have outstripped the capacities of its present system. Where the next supply can be obtained cannot now be safely predicted. Possibly the legal obstacles which bar New York City from Suffolk County, on Long Island, can be removed, and, similarly, water physically obtainable at moderate cost in Connecticut and Massachusetts may be made available through the overcoming of interstate restrictions. Difficulties in the roundout valley may be surmounted, and the Catskill Creek water, although of less satisfactory qualities and expensive to obtain, may become the most feasible supply at some distant date. Beyond these

For surveys, real estate, construction, ergiueerlng and general supervision and au other items except Interest on the bonds, the local cost of the completed Catskill water system—initiated by Mayor McClellan—would be about $178,800,000. To April 1, 1922, the sum of $161,784,824 had been expended. It ranks among the most notable enterprises ever carried out by any city, State or nation. For the variety, complexity and difficulty of *he physical problems Involved, as well as for Its magnitude and cost, it stands with the great canals, with the transcontinental railway lines and with New York’s own subway system.

There have also been completed within the city’s limits thirty-five miles of tunnel and pipe lines under towering buildings, which it finally reaches the consumer.
