BURDENS BORNE BY WATER-TARERS. “About three-fourths of the people of Wushing- ton,” the report says, “take Potomac water into Weir houses and pay for the same. The other fourth are supplied free of charge by the pubi Rydrants scattered all over t Te is evident, therefore, that the water-rent payers pay not only for the water Which they use themselves, but. for the water used by about a fourth of the popula- Yon whodo not pay. Further, they water-rent payers and those people whose property Is assexsed. for water: mains, pay all the expenses of firnish- ing, erecting, and maintaining the fire hydrants for the protection of property from fire.

In this section of the city the pressure ‘should be inaintained as high as possible and the Volume of water should be abundant. in order to furuleb proper fre protection to tae large amount Of valuable property therein. A study of the distribuiing system shows that the cattse of the dedelency in the Dusiness portvn of the city and tn the southwest is, that the re- gions are defictent tm supply mains’ ‘The 12-inch iain along Pennsylvania avenue from the Aqueduct Bridge i the only one making any pre- tens: vas to belug a supply main running through nder discussion, Fue great Govern. ment bulldings, fountatas, Ash pouds and grounds and. the closely buli-up Fegious in thelr Vicinity, make such draughts upon this main as to reduce the pressure in It enormously and render it 10- capable of carrying the amount of water needed In the regions whiclt It is intended to supply.
