8 ; THE WATER FAMINE ply Over the City. THE DEPARTMENT'S ANSWER. Extravagant Waste from Various Sources. EFFECT ON THE WEST SIDE. The water famine in the upper parts of the city is ot far more concern to the people, who suffer trom it than a the Presidentia: Thousands of families on the east and w from Forty-secoud Street to Harlem, have endured serious inconvenience throughout the late summer and all through the ex- piring fall by r man- aged supply of Croton water. A H&RALD reporter, who made a tour yesterday of the western side of the eity and subsequently of astern, jonnd that the former suffers considerably more shan she ‘atter from the low water in the lakes and reservoirs. The complaints on the eastern side Were numerous enough, but on tho western almost every household had something to say about the dot y of Croton water, While the department must unavoidably como under censure for this condition of affairs tas unde- Diable that the citizens, or rather @ part thereof, should share the blame. AT SUPPLY IN PUTNAM COUNTY There certainly ought to be no lack of water, pure, fresh and wholesome for a city even of the size of New York from the mass of springs and reservoirs tn Put- nam county. Engineering ability should be able to utilize the vast aqacous treasures in this region so that the minds of the people might never be uneasy on the score of atuli supply of water in their houses all the yearrouna, The likes of Putnam county are fed by numberless springs, ‘As if,” says the Commis- sioner of Public Works, “in anticipation of the use to which forall {futuro time they are to be devoted,” Vhe artificial basin, constructed to hold and imprison the flow of these springs, cost aboubl$850,000, and the one now under construction will cost nearly as much, It 1s estimated that tho capacity of theso Will be about §8,000,000,000 gallons. he trouble is that the men who projected the Croton Aqueduct never dreamed that within so briet a period as twenty-five yours tho city would demand such a vast incroase in its water supply. gin, but that has been filled up long since, 1t was then somputed that forty gallons a gay would be an abun- dant allowance for each inhabitant, und certainly it looks like a magnificent ration of water for one inai- viduaj; but we have got extravagant in water as well as in everything else, and now each of us, it seems, is put down tor ninety-five gallons a day—enough for an elophant to swim tn.

In tenement houses, above all others, an abundant supply of wate is needed but ‘an aduitional charge of even only fifty cents a movin for a meter would be enough to indyce many of the tenant house residents to dispense with the water altogether, As the Commissioner oi Public Works says, “he exan- jnation and ispection of the meters by alurge uumber of whom wou pertiaps be considered onjectionable, and ihe ‘meters wold be tikely t order and repair,” still 1% is thought the int ction of meters would correct the defective nature of the plumiing, to which ts atiributed a great deal of the waste and loss of water. It is estimated that the introduction of meters would cost $3,000,000, aud would entail, besides, a large cost in repairs, &c NOT A SCIENTIPIO CONCLUSION The Commissioner of Public Works cor Joss through the public jountaius, yet there should be no loss there. ‘They mauage theso things better in Frouce, or rather tn Paris, woere the uting jets of water atthe public fountains, alter pertorming their orvamental ton, after gladdening the eye and cool- Ing the circamambient air, return to abasin and course their way through the city pipes to the houses of the people. The Henavn reporter in his tour of the city yesterday fliscovered (hut the greatest waste of the Croton water Is tn livery and private stables. He saw a lazy English- man ata private stable on Thirty-fourth stre Fifth avenue, use enough water onthe Phaeton to supply a ¢ h plains of the hivery stable on Thirt of Sixth avenue, he saw Fquandering of the Croton, and at the depots of the Thira, Sixth, Seventh and Broadway and Eighth avenue railroads’ there was a quantity of Crotou wasted that wus portectly inexcusable. Of course it would bo endless to eoumerate the various Ways in which the water is absuiutely wasted. Who has not seen of a morning a man with a rubber ho in bis hand deluaing the pavement until it seemed as if the very flags or stones cried out against the infliction’ It must be said in behalf of the Cro Aqueduct Department, whose engtveer, Mr, Campbeil, appears to be as conscien: tious faithini =a man as ever filed the position, that they are not cotirely to blame In politics ann everythitig cise it seems to be the ruling Principle with New Yorkers, “Every man for himseit and the devil take the binumost;’ and while livery log, omnibus stables, ratiroad depots, docks and piers and a multitude of ‘iactories waste the water as Af it were a river deep and exhaustiess as tue Hudson, people in the upper rexions o1 the city who need it for Recessary houschold uses cannot gota drop, Tenth | avenue has suffered most from the water famine. | Mr. ©.

IMPURITY AND SCARCITY COMBINED. | To tas Evirow ov tre Henano:— I am glad to seo the luterest which is being de- veloped in the question of an uptatling as well as pure supply Of drinking water for our city, The HERALD certamly deserves the highest praise as well 4s the thanks of the public fur tts unceasing agitation of this subject, Your readers surcly remember tho examinations made by Hekatp reporters and engineers into the purity of the Croton. its impurity, however, | was foreibly brought bome to all jast suminer, and now its scarcity gives us yet auoibor admonition, It seems to me that, with all of our boasting, we, the good people of this nineteenth century, might feel somewhat abashed were we to compare our present water supply and its purity with thoso of days ‘ar gone by." Already, several hundred years prior to the present Christian era, Rome had a most mag- nificent syste: of water sapply. We find, already in the time of Augustus, Rome had 200 reservoirs of pure water, and research proves Jealously and despotically its purity was guarded. ‘They had water courses sixty or more miles in length in whieh the water flowed through channels of stone, the structures not aafrequently being carried for mies over valleys by neans of raised arcades and throuxh mountains by means of tunnels. Our High Bridge aqueduct might serve as a iceble illustration of this pomt, We read, furthermore, that Rome had nine Aqueducts, the lirst of which was commenced as lar ck as Lhe lfth century of the founding of the Eternal City. There 18 no knowing where the remarkable ad- vances of the old Romans in sanitary and hygienic science might have Jed them but for their all-absorbing struggles against the invading Hung, Vandals, Goths and Lombards, as well as tue injury directly inthoted upon these squeducts by Totiila’s invading hordes, Now the point to which 1 desire to draw attention {8 this, that, with the growth and development of popula- ton’ and manufacture in the Croton Valley and water- shed and surrocuding section, the purity of the water must be seriously endangered, But supposing that wo succeed in guarding against defliewent, will there not come atime when its supplying capacity will be in- sufficient? My opinion is that such a time will come; consequently arises the question where, then, sball wo secure this pure, untailing and all-suiticient supply? 1 | answer by pointing to the Adiroudack region, one of the grandest and most wonderful watersheds of our country. b in this region are nigh 260 lakes of all sizes and of pure, sparkling water, a8 [ know trom personal tramps im its wilds. But it may ve objected Lo the distauce and vastness as well as to the great expense. Hut then, we lave on the otber han all of the immense advantages of pure water and plenty of it, suftictent to supply Albany and all of the ses, And sUll leave all that can possibly be re- sur own city. And why should the dis- 200 miles, deter us from gaining all of tts advantages, 18 not Englund about to build a new aqueduct from the headwat f the River Severn in North Wales, utstant 473 miles, aud to cost $43,000,000, Paris bas a covered conuult eighty miles in length, Uringing 8,000,000 galions of pure water daily from the bead ‘of ‘the Dbws in Champa; work upon the Vanne aqueduct, to be 104 miles in | fength. and to briug an estimated ‘volume of 22,000,000 gauons daily. I see one of your cerrespondents suggests drawing future needed Supplies from some fresh water point of Hudson, tut that this is objectionable is seen when we remember that almost all Une available water fulling into the Hudson below Albany or ‘Troy is the surface drainage of a settlod and well farmed region, inferior in quality, often charged with the deleterious products of paper milly und factories of various kinds, being, in short, tram watersheds over which the pablic has ao control, My aim and object in this communication is to draw Atichtion to this Adirondack region as boing the surest means of settling the question tor all time. SEIGER, M. D. , Oct, 30, 1876, ‘0. T18 LEXINGTON AVEN A CITIZEN ON THE WATER WASTE. To THe Eprtor or Tae HEKaLp:— In view of the scarcity ot the Croton water supply at ibe present moment thé wholesale waste of that precious necessary by certain persons in the city would seem to cali for official investigation, At a pri- vate residence opposite the writer’s the coachman seems to fod infinite amusement in washing the side- waik apd stoop and in playing the jetas high as tho second story of the house, apparently for little else than bis own recreation, permit- ting the water to run to waste in an ab- solutely annecessary cleaning for more than an hour each week. In the course of a walk of a mile through the upper part of Filth avenue this morning the writer noticed that almost without exception at every house domestics were or had bren drawing thus wastetuily upon the Croton for the purpose merely of conforining to a system of walk wasbing every Satur- day morning at a time when bearly the entire city is wiihout that water above the lsements, or in many Instances the cellars, of the houses, [s there not an offi- ctul remedy for this?’ An order from the Commissioners’ office to every householder in the city, prohibiting such useless and wanton waste as not only the writer but any pedestrian may observe daily, might tend to cheek if notentirciy abate the evil, 'A feeble order to the police was promulgated somewhat to this effect not jong since, but as to the immediate results which bave arisen {rom it one tnay judgo by an hour's walk through the principal streets on any Saturday morn- ing, and unless a more eflective step than this be soon tukem the untold horrors of an absolnte water famiye may tench the citizens of New York the truth of the adage, “You never miss the water ttil the well runs dry.” A CITIZEN, THE MURDER OF OFFICER SCOTT. OF HURLEY FOR MANSLAUGHTER IN THE THIRD DEGREE. The trial of John Hurley, one of the Juckson Hollow Gang, who was arrested jor killing Patrolman Edward Scott, of the Fourth precinct, Brooklyn, on July 2, was resumed in the Kings County Court of Sessions yesterday. Assistant District Attorney Moore summed up for the prosecution and the Judge chargod the jury As to the law and evidence in tho case late in the atter- noon. Shortly before six o'clock the jury came into courtand announced their verdict. They found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. ‘The prisoner was then summoned before the Bar, when the Court said:—‘There ws no reason why there should be an abatement of one day in the time of im- prisopment. My impreasion is you were gailty of murder 1m the second degree, but, of course, I was not to puss upon the evidence. ‘This punishment is not adequate to the crime, r years for taking a man’s life in this manner is less, perhaps, than you would have got if you had broken into his house and robbed him of $50, “It ought to be a great deal more. [tis high time in this city of Brooklyn that persons who aro disposed to resist the law should be taught that they cannot commit crimes of this kind with im- punity, The sentence is that you be tmprisoned im the Kings County Penitentiary tor the term of four years at bard labor.” THE BROCK MUKDER TRIAL, The testimony for the defence in tho Ryan and Oschwald murder trial at Newark was concluded yes- It consisted mainly of evidence showing ‘8 good character previous to his recent al- logod exploits, Joseph Ryan, a brother of the alleged murderer, testified that he bad been to New York four times in search oi the two New Yorkers said to have been in his brother's saloon curing the night of August 2, but failed to ascertain anything definite concerning their wheresbouts. In rebuttal of tho evidence touch- ing Oschwald’s good character the prosecution intro- duced testimony disclosing a cont condition of af- fairs. Aman named Pembroke testified that be saw Oschwald and Blanchard together on the night of the robbery of $4,000 worth of hats at Milburn. They siored the stolen goods in bis (Pembroke’s) stables and CONVICTION fee him $2, saying they were going to ship them to Diladeiphia. The summing up will begin to-day, EXCITEMENT AT UNION HILL, N. J. No little excitement exists at Union Hill, N. J., on account of the action of the Town Council of that place, in summarily turning out of office Commissionors of Appeais Nicholas Burns, Jacob Heilegenthal and Ulrich A. Kolbe, who were duly elected to office last spring, and appointing in their stead H. J. Rottman, Jacob Hofimeister aod Charles Fox. The removal of tho regularly elected Commissioners was brought about by complavat« made against them to tho Common Couneil by Assessor Klinck. He accused the vid Board of not enforcing the payment of assessments—which he claimed were legai—in the matter ofthe Buli’s Ferry road sewer. The now Board, 1t is said, will restore the Assessments made by Assessor Klinck. The taxpayers of Union Hill are considerably excited over the mat- ter, and a pnblic meeting is to be held to protest against the action of the Common Council FATAL CARELESSNESS, vennis Brady, aged fifteen, a newsboy, of No.147 Hudson street, imprudently attempted to steal a rido on adammy engine in Hudson street Monday evening.

The Board ot Estimate and Apportionment sat for several hours yesterday for the purpose of passing upon the estimates of the several departments of the city government for the ensuing year. The Comp- troller was three-quarters of an hour late, and it was nearly noon before the business of the session becan. A warm discussion was raised on the item of $159,700 for the Court of Common Pleas, some of the members, including the Mayor, taking the ground that the Judges, under the Iaw, have entire con- trol of the matter of the number of persons | to be employed, and that the law Oxes their salaries, ‘The Mayor asked Mr. Green sf it was not likely that in the event of tho Board cutting down tho appro- priation the Judges would apport employés and judgments tor the amount be rolled up against the city. Mr. Green in reply ingisted that the Board might make recommendations as to certain reductions, and a covference with them might be bad, When the claim of $61,200 to the Surrogate was reached the Mayor wanted {t reduced to $40,000, declaring that tho Surrogate’s ofico is one of the worst departments in the city in which to stow away leeches upon the city | treasury. Below will be found the estimates as cor- rected by the Board yesterday. They now go to the Supervisors for revision before thetr return to the Board for official promulgation, The following com- munieation by the Comptroller explains ttse! FINANCE DEPARTMENT, COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE, New York, Oct, 30, 1876, To THe Boann oF ESTIMATE AND APPORTIONMENT: The provisional estimate for the year 1877 shows that:— The total amount asked for by the de- partment and officers 1s..... + $33,987,580 87 The amount of the provisional estimate agreed on by the bourd...... «+ 82,089,970 62 ‘The amount of reduction by the board 1s $1,890 The total amount of estimates and appropriations for 1876 was $34,064,395 64, there is a reduction in the amount of the and appropriations tor i877 of $2,874,425 u: amount deducted from the estimate for 1876 on ac- count of revenues of the General Fund was $4,000,000. The amount of deduction on this account from the estimate for 1877 cannot exceed $2,500,000, but even with this large decrease tn the revenue of tho general fund, there will be areduction in the amount and rate of taxes for 1877, a8 appears by tho following comparative statement: 1876. 1877. mount of appropria- rae aor e rit $34,064,305 64 82,089,970 62 Amount general fund deducted.....+.++ 4,000,000 00 2,500,000 00 Amount less, general {UNd.... tee seeeses 80,964,895 84 29,589,970 62 The amount added to the final estimate for 1876 to supply deficioneies in the product of the taxes was 96, and tho tax levy amounted to $31,109,- The rate of tax was 2,80 per cent. If the same amount be added to the estimate for do- ficiencies 1n 1877, the tax levy will amount to $2! 006 58, and the rate of tax will be a fraction less than 2.68 per cont. upon tho valuations of the present year. 1 present herewith a tabulated statement of appro- priations for all purposes in 1876 and 1877, showing also the amounts asked for in the departmental esti- mates and the amounts allowed in the provisional esti- mates tor 1877. Yhe State tax for the county of New York in 1876 was $ 3,189 48, and for 1577 it is $4,162,883 85, making a reduction in this item of $3,070,305 63. Considerable reductions bave also been made in the departmental estimate, and the total amount of the provisional estimate would have shown a great redue- tion upon the estimate for 1876, if it were not neces- sary to add reveral large sums for extraordinary appro- priations, such as an ‘tem of $700,000 for repaving and repairs of street pavements. This amount is un increase of $550,000 over the appropriation of 1876 for these purpeses. The importance of making adequate pro- vision for the repairs of pavements is apparent to every one. An item of $276,331 14 is also inciuded for real estate expenses for the payment of assessments ‘on corporation property, and also an ttem for judg- ments of $200,000. These items mako an aggregate of over $1,000,000. Respecttully, ANDREW H.

Mr, Franklin W, Gulley, dr., ig the owner of some of these bonds, Meantime, the Ilinois Centr for the purpose of saving interest, exchanged each rond below par to the Illinois Central under its agreement or guaranty. The dtrectors, however, he declared, ingist that, holding four-fifths of the bonds named, they are entitled to offer eighty bonds of ticir compaby each year and take only twenty bonda trom other bondholders, This Mr, Gilley avers would be a breach of faith, and he has applied to the Supremo Court for an ibjunetion against the company. Tho case came up for argument yesterday before Judge Larremore, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, on an order to show cause why the lujunction asked for should not be granted. After an extended argument, which mainly embraced points of law, and in which the opposing counse! talked off millions with the charming nateeté of a Vanderbilt or a Colonel Sellers, Judge Larremore took the papers, reserving his deci- sion.

To ras Epiros or tue Heap :— The usual gratuitous insult has been once again Offered by Judge Davis to the graduates of our law schools, This morning et eleven o’clock, when the General Term of the Supreme Court, Judge Noah Davis presiding, entered the court room, besides an unusual array of prominent counsel (among whom wi noticed William M. Evarts and Judge Porter), there wore in attendance twenty-three ‘gentlemen waiting for the cath to be administered to them which was to make them attorneys at law and enti- tle them to practice in all tho courts of this State, Of this number seven had passed the exami- Ration of the committee appoiuted for that purpose by the Generali Term. Addressing himeeit tw these genticmen the presiding Justice expressed himsolt as being pieased that they had “entered the profession in the regular apd proper way and that they aeserved Uhat they should bave the oath adnunistered to them separately, wuich, with becoming soiemnity, he pro- ceeded to do, Then, taking up the regular business of the Court, he ordered tne clerk “io swear im the other gentlemen who had come with certificates from the law sckools.”” This was done with the baste and decency with which a clerk generally administers au oath, and the ceremony was over—a fine and encour- aging beginning in the prolessional career of this body of young men, who had speut many tedious bours ia uplicipation of being solemnly admitted into a learned and honored profession. We do not know vy what law or right the learned Judge adwiringly says of the first group, that tbey “entered the profession in the reguiar and proper way;”’ or, en the other hand, to iusinuate witn such empbdasis of manuer that the latter group, compused mostly of college graduates, bad eutered 1 in an unlair or discreditable manner, Certainly this is any thing but paying a compliment to scientitic aud reguiar legal training, and gives the pretnium to irregular and unguided reading, however creditable tuat may be in useit, His fonor should remember that by such an attitude he 18 not only ineulung a body of gent men upon whoin bis worde can have no particu. Jar efiect beyond a momentary sense of bun: jon, since by the laws ol this State he is obliged berealter vo recognize an’ treat them on an equal footing with those he has seen ft to receive with special honor, but he is making trivial the solemn oath of office, aud ignoring and making light of we laws which he himself is obliged by outt to respect and administer, The injustice of his course, eviuent to any impartial mind, becomes glaring when itis re- membered, as 18 Lbe fact, that ameng those who were received by him with such bearty welcome, was one whoonly escaped the ordeal of his less favored con. JSreres by having previousiy tailed to pass regular ‘exumination of one of the “despised” jaw schools. Jn the name of decency and justice, itis with all due delerence requested that such humiliation shall in the tuture be spared not only to the students and officers of deserving universives, but also to the alumni of these institutions among whom are some whose stand- ing at the Bar not even so learned a judge as the one reicrred to can question with impunity.
