Hawkins Taylor thought the effort show Made for an abundant supply over all Ieee i Of the District. ‘The supply on the high ground in the northern part of the city was ae a ai Gen. Meigs’ pian, which would accomplis! this, would cost ‘but $450,000, but the Commis- sioners and eer Hoxie had frightened Con- | gress from doing anything by putting their esti- | mates for doing the same thing at $1.500,000. | Mr. J.C. Dulin thought all other subjects shou'd | De dro} and their efforts concentrated on the water supply and the improvemeat of the river front. The South Washington Association would then co-cperate with the East Washington Association, and much would be gained for both. | Capt, Grant sald there was no reason in the | world why there should not be a water-supply | | { mm Capitol Hill, and to criticise thi inactivity of the District authorities in their efforts to get a bill through Con; . The small appropriation of $25,000 for a temporary supply had even fatled. He then took the com- | mittee of the association to task for not _follow- ing up these bills for the benefit of East Wash- ington, and said one good thing they had accomplished, which was to prevent the library trom going on Judiclary square. A small ap- ropriation had also been made for the improve- ment of the park around General Greene's Statue. Mr. — = the et cee eee as much as cou expected of them. bu! they should all now concentrate their labors upon the extra session for a water supply for Capitol Hill Mr. Augustus Watson said he had always been of the opinion that there should be a reservoir somewhere in the no tera sec~ tion of the city for the benefit of Capitol Hill and the Navy Yard. This reservoir should be filied at night, while all the rest of the city was atrest,for supply in the daytime. He thouyht the le were in error in advocating the layiag of any more mains to effect a supply. when a Teservolr would do so much better. ‘his whole expense should be borne by the United States, but by bad management a large Void had been saddied upon the District, which has to meet the Interest on water bonds and the accumula- ton of afund to pay them at maturity. Pe- nodical complaints had always been made at the scarcity of water, and always would be Made, until this reservoir is made and filled nightly frem the conduit. He said the whole system of supply is defective. The water is frequently muddy, which should not be the case. He sometimes wished to know the num- ber of tons of mud the citizens of this Disirict had swallowed since the weter works had been established. Now, Lieut. Hoxie comes to the front with a plan, or rather he appropriates the lan of Gen. Meigs, but disagrees in toto with ag to the cost of Neecti ity e out, and in his Congress from doing anything, ‘Col Ontse from, ing. Col.
