Canal Men Figuring on Electricity as a Motive Power. ee MUST THE MULE GO? Two Charming Weddings In West Washing- ton and Other Social Items—Real Estate Deals and Picnics and’ Camps—A Sad Funeral—Other Notes. _ Chesapeake and Ohio canal people are on the qui vive for New York’s preliminary action in regard to cheapening inland transportation by the introduction of clectricity on the Erie canal, tho details of the tem to be used having been made public. The trial is to be made with the trolley system, though differing somewhat from the plan in use on street railroads. ‘The trolley wires on rail- roads are fixed, as the carscre guided by the tracks. This, of course, could not be the case on water.as the boats make various motions. he difficulty has been overcome by a patent covering a laterally moving trolley wire, which moves sideways in accordance with the move- ment of the boat and permits the trolley wheel to be kept constantly in electric contact with the conductor. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio people are watch- ing with unusual interest the progress of the proposed Erie canal improvement,and should it prove practical mules will soon be as rare on the old waterway that runs from Cumberland to Georgetown as horses are on the great steaw ays.

When the last words had been PLAN TO CUT OFF THE RECEIVING RESERVOIR FROM POLLUTED WATER. THE AQUEDUCT. An Interesting Story as to the City’s Water Supply, - THE IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED. The Reservoirs and What Should Be Done to Them. THE CONDUIT ROAD. eee Ee Col. Geo. H. Elliot, corps of engineers, has submitted his annual report to the chief of engineers of operations on the Washington aqueduct and the fishways at Great Falls, « synopsis of which was published in yesterday's Stan. THE DAM AT GREAT FALLS. No damage has been done tothe masonry dam at Great Falls during the last fiscal year, and it isin excellent condition. Some of the tiprap back of the dam that was carried away by ice in previous fiscal years was not replaced during the lust year by reason of the inade- quacy of the appropriation. for preservation and repair and the pressure of more imme- diately important work. Several times daring the past winter the screen at the mouth of the conduit was in danger of being obstructed by ice to such a degree as to interfere with the supply to the city, but the watchman and his assistants suc results, THE CONDUIT AND ROAD. The conduit between Great Falls and waste weir No 2 was flushed several times during the year. An estimate of $14,000 was included in tes for removing the years’ accumulation of deposits in the conduit, which was found on inspection in Se tember, 1891, to be about 15,200 cubic yards, SECTION OF THE DRAINAGE TUNNEL. but this estimate has not yet been acted on by Coi ‘The deposits in tunnel No. 4and the nine-foot by-ccnduit at the Dalecarlia res- ervoir have been pretty well cleaned out in the last two years by means of the small gen- eral appropriation for repairs, but as this appropriation is barely sufficient for the most urgent work required for controllmg the sup- ply of water to the city and the maintenance of the aqueduct system, including the conduit, the reservoirsand the twenty-one miles of forty- eight-inch and other mains in the city, these appropriations cannot be relied on to complete the expensive work of removing the deposits y hand, and ail I can expect to do, until the appropriation shall be granted, is by means of flushing to prevent further accumulation, This requires, however, the wastage of a large quantity of water, that during the low stages of tho river cannot be spared. The culverts under the aqueduct, of which there are twenty-six between Great Falls and the dis- tributing reservoir, were kept clear of the ma- terial that is washed into them in severe storms, A number of boulders that had been carried in in this way into culvert 25 were used in constructing a wall on the side of the stream that flows through tae culvert. The amount of value consumed and wasted in the city was measured at the distributing reservoir and found to be $8,858,529 gallons, or at the rate of 60.1114 cubic feet per second. The sectional area of the 9-foot conduit is 63,617 equare fect. Experiments made May 1 show the mean velocity through the conduit to have been .94489 foot per second. Then as the value of R for the Washington aqueduct is 2.25, feet. we find (according to the Chezy formula) we have C—82812, This experiment was made again June 20, The weather was very hot and the consumption and waste in the city had in- creased to 46,721,108 gallnns in twenty-four hours, By reason of this heat on the distributing reservoir, had fallen to 14473 feet above datum, ‘of the water in the conduit bad in- petiment are much amaller than anticipated. ut after a careful leveling and horizon measurement between the ends of the section of the conduit under trial they appear to be correct. THE CONDUIT ROAD. The Conduit road between the Dalecarlia reservoir and the distributing reservoir has been repaired during the year. About 850 cubic yards of flint rock, which is by far the ims and flowers, and a host of | the minister the Selgreom jed in preventing any serious | ° of heavy teams of chaining their wheels in de- scending the bill. I beve recently caused it to be graded preparatory to laying n macadam Pavement early in the next fecal year. About 00 feet of substantial fencing on the sides of the Conduit road near the reservoir was made during the year. DAMAGED BY WASHING. In my last annual report I mentioned the damage to the Conduit road by reason of the earth and clay washed upon it from the newly excavated streets above the road. The locality from which most of the trouble arises is a sub- division of White Haven, and as the streets in the subdivision bave been accepted by the city I wwested =the Commissioners on March 14 to take the necessary measures to prevent it, which can be done at an expense of about $250. The Commissioners could not spare the funds for the purpose at the time, but promised to remedy the evil as soon as pos- sible. Estimates ure made for the removal of deposits in the conduit, for raising the masorry casing of the along the line of the conduit and for commencing the work of widening the macadam pavement of the Cor- duit road by widening the pavement of the between the reservoirs, CONSUMPTION AND WASTE OF WATER. A table is given showing the result of measurements of the consumption and waste of water in the city at different times during the past year. From this it is observed that the | measurement for the day ending at 7a. m. Sep- | tember 27, 1892, showed the consumption and waste to have amounted to 44,582,627 gallons, Thie was the t mensuce- ment of the daily supply to Washington and Georgetown ever made, and it war nc- counted for by the extra flushing of the «treet mains by the District authorities on account of the cholera excitement and the presence in the city of the Grand Army of the Republic, but the measurement for the day ending at 8a. m. June 22 of this year exceeded it, and was 46,727,108 galions. ‘The dates of mexsuring the consumption and waste of water were quite . The reason for this was that I deemed it best during the unusually low stage of the Potomac river last summer and fall, and also when the water in the river was very muddy, not to lower unnecessarily the head of water in the distributing reservoir. No complaints as to the condition of the water, | | except im respect to ite turbidity, have been made during the year. A statement is given showing the following consumption of waste water in the latter part | of June of each year from 1874 to 1893 (both inclusive): 1874, 5, 000. : gallons; 1887, 26.878,424 gallons; 1888, 29,115,774 gallons; 1889, 27,708,779 gallons; 1890 (forty- eight-inch main added to the supply), 35,541.- 845 gallons; 1891, 38,594.743 gallons; 1892, 41,161,780 gallons; 1898, 46,727,105 gallons.
