THE RAMAPO WATER COMPANY.
The Ramapo Water Company, which has lain dormant several years on account of adverse legislation at Albany, has acquired a new lease of life by a bill passed by the last Legislature, and is now preparing to push its enterprises as vigorously as possible. The company! hopes to supply the cities of New York and Brooklyn as well as private residences and manufacturing concerns with water, and it also expects to go into the ice business next winter.
The company has acquired vast tracts of territory in Rockland and Orange counties, and says that it will be able to supply 130,000,000, gallons of pure water every day to the cities constituting the Greater New York. The company's pipes will cross the Hudson River at a point near Hastings, and come into this city through Westchester county and under the Harlem. The route to Brooklyn has not yet been planned.
