Master Werkman W. H. G. Simmons of the Dis- trict Assembly, Knights of Labor, who has taken a stand in opposition to the pro- pesed issue of bonds to pay for needed im- provements, and many of his associates were present, and as a result resolutions were adopted favoring the construction of necessary. sewers, but opposing the issue of bonds, except such as may be absolutely necessary for economic construction. The officers of the meeting were: President, Richard Emmons; vice president, Mr. Geo. O: Cook, and secretary, Dr. Wm. Gaddes. President Emmons on taking the chair said that they had assembled to study the system of drainage of the city and to en- deavor to aid by hearty approbation and encouragement the inauguration of such plans as will successfully meet the present needs and give to our new imperfectly drained city a system of sewerage that shall be complete and satisfactory in all reepects. Much: benefit and’ no: increased’ rate of taxation, he said, would be the only result * the adoption of the proposed plan. The jehy by its rapid growth had increased enormously. the price of city and suburban ‘land, and this had induced the building of la great number of small houses on narrow streets) which ace without sewers or water and must remain so until Congress acts. a $1.25 quality. pearl buttons.

REAM ‘The workingmen, he said, should; and by the new system could, have their homes {supplied with these health-promoting agents, namely, sewers and water. The ex- iperience of the last few days, he said, had demonstrated to all in a forcible and con- elusive manner the unsatisfactory method ‘now in operation to supply tbe city with water and sewers. The proposed improve- iments, he said, would furnish employment |for hundreds of the now unemployed, who |are eager for work, thus placing them- \selves outside the circle of charity. Mr. Bmmons introduced Dr: Samuel C. ‘Busey, president of the Medical Society, 'who made an impressive address, urging the need of sewer and water improvements, He was given.a vote of thanks at the con- pe of his remarks. H Mr. Simmons’ Resolutions, ° | Mr. Simmons: introduced resolutions as ‘follows: Ist. That this meeting favors immediate provision for the construction of such sewers and for such increase of the water ‘supply as may be necessary for the health |and comfort of the people of the District: 2d. That the expense thereof shall be jpaid out of the current revenues so far as pessible, and that no bonds shall be sold for the purpose, excepting such as shall be absolutely necessary for the economic con- ;Struction of the work. d. That these improvements shall be ipaid for by a tax on the only property to be benefited—the land values—excluding personal property and buildings from the basis of assessment. 4th. That the necessary bill providing for sewers and water shall not be joined with a measure providing for the extension of streets to remote parts of the District of Columbia. 5th. That for the protection of the public and the workingmen of the District, the work shall be done under the supervision of competent and disinterested engineers employed by the District, and without re- ccurse to the contract system. Gth. That no sale of bonds should be per- mitted unless the proposition is submitted to a vote of the people of the District and approved by them. The Discussion. Mr. M. I. Weller spoke, indorsing some and opposing those which he said coquet- ted with the single tax. Mr. E. H. Brown delivered a brief speech, criticising the pro- posed bond issue. Mr. August Donath ex- pressed himself as favorable to the issue ‘of bonds. An amendment, offered by Mr. Siddons, providing that no men should be employed on the works except residents of the Dis- triet was adopted. After a somewhat lively discussion, in which a disposition was shown by one or two speakers to criticise the plan for sewer- ing the District adopted by Congress, and ' B.

A Reply to the Beard of Trade. | Mr. Simmons, master workman of the District Assembly, K. L., has prepared a ‘rejoinder to. the reply recently published by the board of trade to the objections raised iby the Knights of Labor against the Dis- trict bond bill In this rejoinder Mr. Sim- ‘mons reiterates the arguments advanced by, trepresentatives of the Knights of Labor jagainst the bond hill, but holds. that labor forganizations are not opposed to propet {measures for protecting the public health, hor the construction of necessary sewers. ———— {Who Will Be Responsible for the Water Famine? To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Star in its Wednesday's: issue, edi- ltorially says: | The raising: of the Great Fails dam and the increase of the capital's water supply, {whith the welfare of Washington urgently idemands, are obstructed and delayed by ithe proposal of superfluous investigation jinto the condition of the aqueduct. If, at ithe bottom of the uujust, unfounded and [injurious doubt that has been: thrown on ithe strength of the aqueduct that Meigs built, and. Washingtonians have always been proud of, there is anything occult or iselfish, it will all be known sometime, and ‘The Star promises to assist its suffering readers on Capitol Hill and other high s of the city, in discovering and ex- |posing the author of it, whether corporate for individual. No man and no corporation can afford to shoulder the responsibility for ‘causing or aggravating the water famine which threatens Washington. ‘This matter is of supreme importance to ‘a large portion of the people of Washing- ‘ton. It overshadows even the question of ‘a sewer system. Our people are entitled jto know who are behind the insidious as- ‘sault upon our health and comfort, which the useless and unnecessary ‘“‘investiga- ition” involves. The identity of the op- ‘ponents cf the propcsition for the immedi- late raising of the dam (which Col. Elliot, \in charge of the aqueduct, has formally asserted in three separate reports is ab- solutely indispensable, no matter what else is done or necessary to improve our water supply), is disclosed in the Senate debate, :from which I take the following excerpts: Mr. Chandler—“It is true it might be well enough to provide the $125,000 for raising the dam at Great Falls at this time, shut it is not absolutely essential. I think it not material whether it is done this year or the next. Mr. Gorman—“When we come to the mat- ter of raising the dam at Great Falis it is a question which will involve the exper ture of an immense amount of money. Mr, Hale—“I have never been able to see why, when the government proposes to take water from this great navigable Iwhich is extremel Largain: of your life: Late John E. Little, 1002 F ST. it probable, you will secure the B. Rich & Sons, for the benefit of the city of Washington, there should be ‘nvolved such great ex- pense in quieting titles, &c.” Mr. Gorman—“I will try and explain.” Which he proceeded to do, giving at great ‘length the history of the grant to the Ches- apeake and Ohio Canal Compan | Mf. Hale—‘Any rights that were given to a canal company would effect only a small ‘portion of the flow of the great river Poto- mac. I will not admit that the govern- ment 1s in the least precluded in its right |to take the water.” And then Mr. Chandler offered the fol- ‘lowing amendment to the bill: After the twords “increased height of tle dam” in- sert: “And the injury, if any, to the own- ers of the rights of the Great Falls Manu- ‘facturing Company or to any other par- HOME.

Company, which, for a great many ycars; in fact, to 1824, owned the right to use fo: manufacturing purposes: the surplus water flowing over a dam at’ the Great Falis of a given height. Mr. Gorman—“I am happy to say that as to the Senator from New Hampshire and myself we ave very ncar together on the proposition involved here.” On the side of the people of Washington Were Senaiors Aldrich and Hale. Mr. Aldrich said: “I do not know that there is any claim here that we are bound to take care of everybody else on the Po- tomac river if we raise that dam. If it is’ a necessity to have this work done, let us do it. For the first time in my knowledge of legislation it is proposed here to inquire what it is to cost private corporations to raise the banks of a canal.” Mr. Hale: “Here is an agreement or stip- ulation invoked in behalf of some company: or other, some shadowy organization, some: nebulous corporation about which nobody knows anything, which has done nothing, which has built no factories. We have not: the stipulations here to which the Senator from New Hampshire refers, but if we> were to examine them, if they exist any- where, we would fiid that they are subject to conditions with reference to the com- pany’s putting into force the grants, and’ that they ‘all lapsed and became void un- less they were put in force.” Mr. Aldrich: “The suggestion of mem- bers of the committee on appropriations means a delay of one year, and prebably: a delay of several years. There have been all kinds of reports upon this question by all kinds of officers: under all sorts: of con- ditions. It seems to me that in justice to the people of the District of Columbia this: work should now be prosecuted.” M ———__ Benedicts’ Banquet. A pleasant time is anticipated at the banquet to be given the 22d of this month: by young men, members of the Young Men’s Christian Assoetation, who have be- ccme benedicts during the last seven years, This period covers the, secretaryship of Mr. James E. Pugh. Only those who have taken to themselves wives during this period will be invited, the object being: that all the young men end thetr wives may become better. acquainted. ‘The banquet. is to be given at the Down Town Club. The Tcoms are to be handsomely decorated, and after the meal is served several short toasts will be proposed, and the balance of the evening will then be spent in social enjoyment.
