THE VALDOSTA TIMES. LIVE NEWS TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD NEW YORK TOWN A Prolonged Drought in Eastern Section ALARM FELT OVER FAILING WATER SUPPLY—EXPERTS SAY CITY LOST NEARLY ONE ; HUNDRED MILLIONS ON HER ACQUEDUOT—CITY TOO WICK ED FOR PREACHER. New York. June 10.—The long continued drought throughout the eastern section of this country is be ginning to make itself seriously felt by the shrinkage of the available water supply. Although New York City is not yet actually running short of water. Is supply of the pre cious fluid has fallen so low that the city authorities have considered It necessary to put a stop to wastfull- ness of water tor domestic purposes. An effort is alto to be mado to re duce, as much as possible, the tre- mendous loss by leakage of pipes. Condition In Westchester, The towns in Westchester county, north of the city line, are In a more serious condition than New York City. Yonkers seems to be In a par ticularly unfortunate situation this ear. Many times before did the ater supply of Yonkers run low, ut the town was always able to get elp from New York. This year, owever. New York Clty’a water upply Is so low that the city can- iOt afford to divert part of Its own ater supply to help out neighbor ing suburban towns. The anthorl- les of Yonkers have found It neces- ry to put the city on half rations keep them thus until an ample ilnfall should replenish the waters f the Nepperham river, -which ho source of Yonkers’ water sup ply. the contents of the Grassy Spring reservoir are not to be used except In case of the most urgent necessity. Conld Save Millions. Under the present conditions it is rather aggravating to New York’s citizens to hear from C. W. Baker, editor of the Engineering Nows, that New York City could have saved from (50,000,000 to (100,000,00V In the cost of the Catsklll aqueduct 1f It had utilized the waters of the Ten Mile and Housatonlc rivers for 1t> new water supply. Ho save It would have obtained a supply of equal quantity, pressure end purity In half the time and at a great sav- lng of money. At the time when the matter of providing additional wafer supply for New York City was con sidered four or five years ago, the plan to use the waters of tho Ten Mile and the Housatonlc rivers was suggested, but It was urged by tho opponents of the plan that, owing to the fact that the two rivers have their sources and part of their up per course in Connecticut, there were Insurmountable legal obstacles In the way of carrying out the plan. It was principally for that reason that tho Catsklll plan was finally adopted. New York 1s too Wicked. In the opinion of the Rev. Na- thanlal Thomas Hafer, pastor of the Trinity Baptist church In Brooklyn. iNew York Is the wickedest city In the country. In fact, so wicked Is New York In his opinion, that ha* resigned his pastorate to accept ia position in the purer moral atmos phere of Detroit. Pastor Hsfer is evidently thoroughly disgusted with and discouraged by the depravity of Gotham and In his letter of resigna tion and subsequent interview ho emptied tho via! of Ms wrath and Indignation upon 'this Tammany- ruled City.” He seems to have a particular grudge against saloons, brewery trucks, noisy crowds and tbs roaring of elevated trains, which disturb his slumber. Tho Boldness of Criminals. The boldness of crimlnsls In New York City Is almost beyond belief. There are burglars In nearly every city, but their tactics are mild and gentle compared wfth -those employ ed by their colleagues In this city. Elsewhere burglars stealthily enter a house, taking care not to arouse Anybody who may be sleeping, and much bolder. Four of them enter ed an apartment house on East 116th street the other night and ^wakened the occupants of an apart ment by pounding against the door of their flat. The burglars ordered the occupants of the apartment to leave by way of the lire escape and to “make themselves scare” without delay, but to open the door before they left The people living In the flat did not hesitate to obey the command, but In their hurry to es cape down the Are escape they for got to open the door tor the raiders. This did not otop the burglars. They broke through the door and were busy searching for valuables when policemen arrived upon the scene and captured them. The “Dog-Crazy Woman.” The “dog-crasy" women of this city are ldlgnant over tho recent or der of the United States Treasury Department, calling the attention of the Collector of the port of New York to tho fact that under the tariff Maw animals of American origin, which have been taken out of the country, are subject of- doty if brought hack to the United States. Two out of three women who are in the habit of taking a trip to Europe every year, taka their pet dogs with them. Heretofore these “darllnga” could be brought back to the United ^States without paying duty, but the new order puts a atop to this. Whether the framers of the tariff act really Intended to make the law applicable to American pet dogs re turning from a trip abroad, la not known, but as the law Is quite plain, tho port authorities have no discre tion In the matter and Collector Loeb has stated that, he would see to It that the law is fully com[ with. Horses that Love Music. It seems that some horses, least, have a higher developed taste for music than tho average New Yorker, who knows and enjoys only one kind of. “music,” the rankest kind of rag-time. The other day a brass band marching along the street played one of those popular rag-time cacophonies. That prhved too much for the more cultivated taste of a horse bitched to a deliv ery wagon. It bolted and dashed right Into the midst of the noise- producers, scattering them in every direction and putting en effective stop to the hideous noise. What a blessing It would be if there were more such horses In New York. It is true, there would be a great many more runaways, but tt might sub due, at least to some extent, toe un bearable rag-time craze rampant In Now York. HOTTEST WEATHER OH RECORD TODAY.
