Water Supply Crisis as City Refuses to Pay Water Works
The city’s water supply is cut off over unpaid hydrant rental amid a dispute involving the water works company tied to bondholders. W H. Fritchman of White Plains pressed Mayor Foley for action, but council meetings did not occur. Fire protection remains via artesian wells and a steam engine, though the boiler may be defective and a replacement engine is being sought.
