Cltltens Discuss Situation With En­gineer Perry of Albany and Dr. Wakeman of the State Health De­partment.

Oouverneur, Oct. 26.—Friday even­ing Engineer Perry, a water expert, met a numbers of the citizens of the village in the village board rooms to discuss a better water supply for Oouv­erneur. For years the people have demanded a better water than they are now securing from the Oswegatchle river. Some time ago the Chamber of Commerce took the matter up and authorized a committee to investigate the matter. This committee headed by D. M. Hazelton got busy and in­vestigated Sylvia Lake and Chubb Lake and It Is said recommended the latter. Upon the arrival of Engineer Perry both sources were covered and at the meeting Friday night he gave it as his opinion that Chubb Lake was too small to furnish the required amount. Sylvia Lake he stated had a sufficient water shed to furnish 2,000,-000 gallons dally and that ii would cost $10,000 a mile or $70,000 to pipe It to Gouverneur. He also found that there was no pollution at Chubb Lake. At Sylvia Lake there are 13 cottages and a small hotel. A filtration plant would be necessary at Sylvia Lake un­less the cottages and hotel were clos­ed down and that the lake Would have to be raised three or four feet by the building of a dam. The matter may be put to a vote in the March election.

TAFT PLEADS FOR A GREATER NAVY IN POT8DAM SPEECH.

Former President Would Be Prepared For Invasion.—Guest of B. H. Snell.

Potsdam, Oct. 25.—Preparedness, not for offense, but for defense, was the theme of the address Thursday even­ing at the Opera House by former President William H. Taft.

National preparedness consisting of adequate coast defenses, a navy large enough to cope with any world power of mlllitaristlc tendencies, and a stand­ing army sufficiently large to repel in­vasions until the mobilization of the citizen soldiery, was recommended In the former president's address.

Mr. Taft arrived here at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon from New York. His train had been delayed. He was the guest of honor at a d'.nner at the Al­bion Hotel immediately after his arri­val. Nearly a hundred guests were present.

Mr. Taft spoke on the revised state constitution and warmly urged Its ad­option. He argued for both' clauses, providing for a Btate budget and the do­ing away with the minor elective offi­cers on the state ticket.

•'All we need for necessary prepared­ness,' said Mr. Taft, "Is to take advan­tage of our position and make that advantage worth while. We cannot have an Invasion of this country save by a naval power. An invading army must come In troop ships convoyed by a fleet. If we maintain a fleet strong enough to resist any sent against us, we are making adequate preparations.

"Our coast defenses backing up our navy are Just as good as any in the world, but we need the men to man them. What good are the guns if we don't have tbe men behind them?"

Mr. Taft was guest at a reception at the Normal School at 5 o'clock and the dinner guest of Bertrand H. Snell In the evening. At the lecture Thursday night, Mr. Taft was introduced by his personal friend and classmate, Prof. E. W. Flagg of the Potsdam Normal.
