WASHINGTON: mes targer than that of any other paper local NEWS paper and rising Medium it has no competitor. im the city. ay As “Ir Has Couz To Pasa pry FRR RRR, ERA YD Foss PERS YS. ‘The most practical and least expensive method of improving the quality and enlarging the stored available quintity of Potomac water is that urged by Col. Elliot in his report and be- fore the House appropriations subcommittee yesterday. The uso of the receiving reservoir asasettling basin would go far toward giving Washington clear water at all times, and in its capacity as a storage basin it would about dou- wailably supply of potable water. When the receiving reservoir was built by Gen. Meigs the country in the vicinity was sparsely populated, and being grazing land, the water flowing into the small streams that enter the reservoir was pot polluted asit isnow. The water shed of the reservoir is rapidly being built upon and the time has come when non of the flow from it should be allowed to enter The design is to build dams seross the mouthe of all these streams and ex- cavate a channel entirely around the receiving reservoir passing behind these dams and then through ashort tunnel all the polluted water would ran off into the Potomac. After these works are built the only water that will be allowed to enter the receiving reservoir will be t from Great Falls by the conduit bie the city the reservoir, the which enters the reservoir at its upper end and leaves it at the Jower end. ‘The reservoir is more than half a mile long and the water from Great Falls entering at the upper end would diffuse itself through the whole width of the reservoir; it would travel slowly to the outlet at the other connection with the conduit, and, in the meantime, have deposited most of the earthy matter when the Potomac is maddy. But this cannot now be done without mixing the water from Great Falls with the polluted water from Tenleytown and other places im the water shed. ‘The storage now of potable water in the lower reservoir is only about 170.000,000 gallons and the city uses about 40,000,000 gallons a day, that without the receiving reservoir as a storage basin the city has a: most about four days’ sup- ply im ease of accident to the conduit or at Great Falla This reserve is too small, much less than in any other city, and the situation is dangerous. In addition to doubling the quantity of stored water the use of the receiv- ing reservoir would improve the water, not only im removing turbidity, but since this reservoir is deeper than the lower one the water would be cooler. ‘The appropriation asked for the improvement ef the receiving reservoir is about $290,000, $130,000 of which is for the works required for the exclusion of the waters that pollute the res- ervoir and $160,000 in deepening the res: voir and walling the sides. But the latter part of the work, costing $160,000, could be postponed to some future time. This project, and not vastly more expensive filtration, which would reduce the water supply by gravity to the higher city levels, and be followed by the gen- eral use of water-meters, furnishes the rieest and most satisfactory remedy of objections to the service of the present water system. —__s——— The old story of the peril of employes and the sacrifice of public interests at the govern- ment printing office, due to the continued negligence in Congress in the matter of a new building, was well told in the Senate yesterday by Senator Gallinger. There is nothing more shameful than the failure to provide for the safety of the 2,500 or more employes who are exposed constantly to the danger of a crushing by the machinery of the eggshell of a building, to employment in which Congress has con- demned these men and women. Five years ago it was decided to erect a new structure, made necessary by the growing wants of the service and the increasing insecurity of the building im use. No mere patching up or makeshift additions will answer. What is de- manded is a large, strong, safe and ample structure, adequate for the purpose in view. Congress knew its duty and decided that yast be done. But five years have passed, with alll their perils and inconvenience, and no build- ing has yet been erected. There is noeconomy in this delay. It is both inhumane and waste- fal. It is an outrage on the employes and their families and it isa standing reproach to & great government and a civilized nation. No matter how great the supposed exigencies of party, the safety of its employes and the efti- ciency of the service in question require ac- tion on the basis of the recognized duty of five years ago—e duty that had existed years before it was thus formally admitted by Congress. —__+=— ‘The Springer wool and woolens bill asagreed npon finally by the ways and means committee is a very different measure from the original proposition. So far from being merely a bill to place wool on the free list and strike off compensatory duties, it providesalso for a con- siderable reduction of the ad valorem duti: An average reduction of these duties to 30 or 85 per cent and the carrring out of the princi- pie that the heaviest reduction must be, under democratic ideas of tariff reform, on the cheap- est goods and the least reduction on the most costly manufactures are likely to please the particular people for whom the bill is framed. The manufacturers have complained that they could not stand so great a cut that proposed, and it remains to be seen how the proposition will be received in New Eng- land, where so many of the woolen manufac- tures are established. ‘Mr. Spritiger’s original idea was modified on the demand of the ad- vanced “reformers,” who are probably in a ma- fority of the party, although not in charge of the official machinery in Congress. and cer- tainly not in control of the largest state claimed by the democrats. ‘The Canadian reciprocity commissioners came with an impossible proposition, which they knew to be impossible when they ten- dered it. When it w: ag a matter of course, rejected by this republic there was nothing possible but for the “conference” to’ close. ‘Thus endeth another trick of the tory govern- ment. When comething more than an ex- ebange of natural products shall be proposed itmay be accepted. Our people are willing to have genuine reciprocity; they reject with im- patience the jug-handled and disingenuous offers of the present goverumect over the borer. +e The introduction of typhus fever by Russian subject for eon- sideration.
