Promoter Abraham White Subject of Attachment and Scams
An attachment was issued yesterday against Abraham White, tied to a draft for 19 dollars and a history of famed “postage stamp bidder” exploits. The case references failed checks, tied to Taylor Livingston & Co., Baldwin Brothers, and the Massachusetts Loan and Guarantee Co. White’s wealth and schemes span telegraph ventures, New York bonds, and vast speculative deals, with White Park in Franch looking like his extravagant base.

New York Water Board Eyes Suffolk Underground Supply Plan
The Board of Water Supply proposes developing underground water in Suffolk County to serve Brooklyn and Queens. A main conduit from Ridgewood Pumping Station to near East Quogue, plus a four mile supplementary conduit along Peconic Valley, would deliver 20,000,000 gallons daily at an estimated $47,173,080. If started now, 90,000,000 gallons could reach the Brookhaven line in two years at $7,200,000, with further expansion to Ridgewood and Brook- Ya stations over five years, costs about $21,700,000, to meet normal rainfall projections through 1918.
