The Health Officer at Great Falls. WHAT HE SAW THERE AND WHAT HE WILL RECOMMEND. Dr, Townshend, health officer of the District, €ccompanied by a STAR reporter, drove to Great Falls last evening and today made a thorough inspection of the water works there, in order to determine whether there was any danger of the water supply of the District being rendered unclean or impure by overflow from the canal. The old dam ot the water works ex- tends across from the Maryland shore to Conn’s Island, about midway ofthe river. Thisdam touches the shore about forty paces above the canal lock at the Great Falls, and naturally the head of the conduit is imme: diately above the dam. As the water flows against the dam the current is turned squarely to the left and thus forced to enter the conduit. ‘The head of the conduit is protected by a heavy fron screen, with meshes about one-eighth of aninch square to prevent trash and debris from flowing into the conduit, and right in the corner of the dam {8 a gate-way or opening for the put of providing a draw that will swecp off such debris as collects against the sereen, When the river is very low this gate- way has to be closed, and_all the water forced into the conduit." Extending from the Jock nearly upto the conduit 1s what the canal men call a tumbling dam for overflow Water trom the canal to pass to the river. This is below the conduit, and, therefore, cannot do any mischief. But about’ 75 or 100 yards fur- ther up the canal there is a waste-way or flood- ate constructed. Through this gate the water Is emptied whenever it becomes necessary to draw off the water from that level. The tim- bers of which the gate is constructed are old and rotten, and there 1s not only an ineessant leakage through them, but the water steadily pours over the gate, All this water necessarily ‘empties into the current that supplies the con- duit, and pours down into the latter. Then, about 200 yards further up the canal, there 13 another timbling dam or waste-way, which feeds a small but steady streain of cabal water into the riv Heath Officer Townshend, accompanied by Gate Keeper Sullivan, of the water works, and by several eanal employes, carefully examined ‘h of these pices, aud determined to recom- nd that the tlood-gate and waterway above conduit be closed, and that all wastage and overflow from the canal be thrown below the dam There is ample room between the dam and the conduit for such an arrangement. The tlood-gate, used ving o' water from the level wh is necessary, is not over six — fei width, and “it. will, so far as the canal is’ concerned, op- erate better by being removed further down. Atpresent there is no overflow of de- bris from the 1 into the river, as the water is low, The current in the canal is on the berm side (opposite the tow-path), induced by the flume, which feeds the lower ‘from the upper level, Ueing.on that side, But under the present arrangement, whenever any accident, ‘sueb as a break in the canal, or the sinking of d boat, should require the level to be emptied, Its entire foul contents would pour Into the narrow channel, which supplies our water, not over 100, ards above the mouth of the coudull. Dr. ‘ownshend intends to prepare and submit a re- Port recommending that all wastage from the canal above the conduit be stopped, that the canal bank on that side be made secure from leaks or seepage, and that the _flood- ate and overtiow be located below the am. This will prevent any contami- nation of the river water from thut level. In truth, there is no great cause for uny feel- ing of unéasiness at present, unless the water of the canal should be drawn off, and Dr. Town- shend will recommend that that sbali not be permitted until the outlets are changed 50 a8 to throw the water below the dam. So long as the tood-gate remains where it ts the river channel Which supplies the aqueduct must be more or less fouled by theseepings through It, as there are dirty hog pens and unclean closets immediately on the canal just opposite the ate. In the event it shouid be important to he canal company to empty the level, that could be done through the gates of the’ lock, thus throwing the water into the level next be- low and into the river a long distance below thedam. ‘Phe health officer will advise that precautions be taken to prevent the émiptying Of the level by the present means provided. CAPT. SYMONS’ STATEMENT, Capt. T. W. Symons, who has charge of the Washington aqueduct and the work on the extension, this morning made a statement to a Star reporter regurding the alleged pollution of the Potomac above Great Falls. Capt. Symons says that about five or six hundred feet above the Inlet to the aqueduct the canal company have had for many years a discharge weir. The object of this weir is to draw off into the Poto- mue the Water of the canal when the latter is closed for the winter. Under ordinary elrcum- stances the weir is supposed to be water-tight, Dut has become old and dilapidated, allowing the canal water to leak through. There are sta- bles on the canal above the weir, and the waters of the canal are more or less polluted by these Stables. ‘The water that percolates through the defective stup-plunks and over the topof the discharge welr runs down in a small stream into the river above the entrance to the aque- duct. This, Capt. Symons claims, is the only Liution that gets into the waters of the river. Gapt, Symions,some time ago, obtalued permis: sion irom the anal company to close the defec- tive weir and build a new one below the en- trance of the aqueduct. ‘This will be done as goon as possible, probably within a month or 80. ————— The Washington Aqueduct Extension.

When witness entered the land office Saturday morning, and was told by the commissioner that he could not attend to his (witness’) bu ness that day, witness told him to wait his own time, when the commissioner replied that he never'had any time, and told witness to “clearout.” Witness did’not clear ont, and t commissioner came towards him and inserting his fingers between his throat and his collar tried tostrangle him, breaking off his collar button in the skirmish, ‘On being asked if he had not been violent In his conduct,the witness impetuously exclaimed: So help ine God I di word for twenty minutes.
