New Reservoir Delays Spark Aqueduct Hearing
At a Stewart Building hearing the Merchants Association pressed charges against the Aqueduct Commission over Jerome Park Reservoir delays.

Engineers clashed over flooring thickness and methods, while contractor John B. McDonald defended work and argued legal rail authority caused postponements.
