WATER AND LIGHT Recommendations of the Engineer Officer in Charge. ANNUAL REPORT MADE BY CAPT. BURR More Reservoir Facilities for the High Service Needed. THE LIGHTING SCHEDULE Capt. Edward Burr, the engineer officer in charge of the division of water and light, today submitted his annual report to the Referring to the water supply, he says: “The supply of water available for the use of private consumers has at times been very inadequate to the demands made upon it. The last increase in the supply system was completed in 189), when the 48-inch min was put in service. The increasing demand for water, due to the rapid growth of the city, and particularly in the higher areas, has, however, been much greater than war anticipated, and the consump- tion has in flve years outgrown the supply system, which in 1499 was considered ample for at least fifteen years. “An examination of the tables shows that Je the pressure ts fairly well maintained on Capitol Hill, there is a, mark- ed falling off in all other localities, and at some points on or near the large mains the conditions are very little better than 18), At points off the large mains the deficiency in pressure fs still greater. During the past winter complaints were very numer- ous and came from all parts of the city, Including Capitol Hill, where the supply under normal condition is ample. Where the deficiency in water supply is confined to a single locality, relief may be had by re- sorting to temporary expedients, but a general deficiency can only be improved by an increase in the general supply. It will be noticed from the tables of pressures that while the pressures in the large mains have fallen off ten or eleven feet, the water in the distributing reservoir was maintated at practically the same level in as in 1800, the difference in level lieing only one foot, and this difference he- ing due largely to causes outside of the draft on the city mains. There fs undoubt- urgent necessity for increasing the ans for supplying the reservoirs, but there is an equal or greater urgency for immediately incr ng the facilities for bringing water from the distributing rese voir to the city. With an unlimited supply in the reservoir, the co: mers can expect no increase in the amount of water fur- nisbed them until the tunnel conduit or a substituie therefor is completed. Much in- convenience, distress and danger are now continually experienced from the present inadequate supply of water, and with prompt action no relief can be had for at least two years. It cannot then be too urgently recommended that steps ie im- mediately taken for increasing the facill- tles for bringing water from the distribut- ing reservoir to the city. A New Reservoir Necded. “The only reservoir facilities on the mid- dle high service system are furnished by a email r ryoir at 32d and U streets,George- town, the property of the United States, and under the control of its officers. ‘This reservoir is of much too small capacity, and its elevatio 5 feet above datum, is in- sufficient to give a fair service to the high- er points of thi tem. The most urgent needs of this system are increased reservoir facilities and larger force mains. A new reservoir should be located at some point on the high ground back of the central part of the city, and at an eleva- tion of about 260 fect above datum. veral sites are now under consideration, and it is hoped that the construction of a ervolr, with a capacity not less than 00,000 gallons, will be commenced during next fiscal year. During the past year linear feet of 24-Inch main were laid ion at the pumping s allon engine pumping sta- the ay in making connec tion with the new and for a force main from the ticr toward the proposed reservoir.

An item of $10,000 for this purpose should be included in the estimate for 159’ Water Meters. During the year the number of water meters in use has Increased from 202 to 231. Only twenty-nine new meters have been placad since the last annual report. Notwithstanding the extremely meter rate, only 3 cents per 1,000 gallons, {t evident, Capt.

THE WATER SUPPLY. Pressing Necessity for Its Increaxe Shown In Many Ways. Th> annual report of the superintendent of the water department was submitted to ins Commissioner today, and Is full of interesting details concerning the workings of his office. During the year 142,992 1-4 feet of water mains were laid. Cencerning the general water supply, he says: “At no time since the 48-inch main was laid has the pri ing need of an ampl> supply of pure clear water for all legiti- mate purposes been felt more than during the past year. The gradual diminution of pressure in the gravity supply and distri- bution mains has been the cause of inuch complaint among those living upon the high levels. * * * The present -condition ter supply renders {t necessary that steps be taken to effectually repress the ex: e waste, or a water famine and an in y condition in some parts of the city cannot be averted in the near fu- ture. From experience and observation, J onvinced that the careless waste of can only be prevented by a syste- matic introduction of the meter system on all service pipes to premises where large gvantitles of water are consumed. Mete should also be placed on all supply pipes pic buildings in the District owned sed by the United States. to deter- mine the proportion of Potomac water act- ually consumed and wasted per diem. Compulsory Introduction of Meters. “I would urgently recommend that Con- gress, at the next session, be asked to make provision for the purchase and compulsory introduction of meters on service pipes to public and private buildings under such regulations as the Commissioners may deem necessary for economical use of wa- ter and suppression of waste.’ The Lydecker Tumne!. Referring to the probable use of the fa- meus “Lydecker tunnel,” he says: “In the event of the examination and test of the tunnel connecting the recetying reservoir with the storage reservoir at Howard Uni- versity, demonstrating that the tunnel can be used to increase the water supply for the city, a 48-inch connection ‘could be made with the Champlain avenue shaft and | gas a 48-inch main laid in Champlain avenue, V, 17th and U strests to the U street pump- ing station, capable of delivering all the water neécessary for pumping engines for many years to come.” A 12-inch middle service main should be laid on Columbia avenue from the Quarry road to Florida avenue, and connections made with existing 12-Inch main on Colum- Ma avenue at Quarry road, 6-inch main along Columbia avenue to 19th street ex- tended and with the proposed 20-inch mid- dle service delivery main for Georgetown at Florida and Columbia avenues, to rein- force the present mains on Washington Helghts and afford necessary protection in case of fire. More Water Necded in the Suburbs. He renews his recommendation for the , extension of the 12-inch middle service at 1st and Albany streets to Lincoln avenue by way of Ist and T streets, and on Lin- in and Central avenues to Brookland, and connections with existing G-inch_m coln avenue and T street, Cent avenue and 4th street extended, and Brookland. BETTER GAS SUPPLIED. pe Inspector Reports an Encrense in the Candle Power Last Year. Cable to the Associated Pr annual report of the it By Th and meters made publie today pector of gas shows that the power of the gas supplied by the Washington Gas Light Company during the vear equaled 19.63 cand!e power. This, he says, is an ine se of 1.61 candle power over the average obtained t year. No defaults occurred during the year in the iNuminating power and purity standard. The impurity known as sulphuretted hy- drogen has been present on many occa- sions. This should not exist in purified supplied to co.: ners, it being most offensive and deleterious of all the sul- phur compounds found in illuminating gas. The illuminating power of the gas supplied by the Georgetown Gas Light Company during the year averaged 16.07 candle power, which is about the same as last year. He suggests that the Georgetown Gas Light Company be required to either pro- vide a coal for manulacturing gas from which their purifying apparatus will re- move the sulphur within the limits pre- scribed or enlarge the purifying capacity of their plant. During the year 2,713 meters were in- spected and proved. Of this number 249 registercd fast; average error, 4.20 per cent. xty-cne error, 4.63 per cent the limits prescribed, either way, and three did not register the gas flowing through them. Five hundred and nineiy-one of the above were ordered out, and inspected and proved on com- plaint. Five hundred and eighty were com- plained of by consumers, and of this num- ber 238 registered fast against the con- sumer, the average error being 4.43 per cent. Fifty-nine registered slow against the company, the average error being 4.96 per cent. The inspecter recommends that the Washington Gas Light Company be re- quired to send to his oflice all meters that they remove from s for the purpose of ascertaining whether the meter is registered correctly. registered slow; average 4 registered within namely, 2 per cent Said to Have Stabbed His Wife. John T. Barnes, a white man, was locked up at the second police station last night by Policeman Auldridge because it was charged that he had committed a dangerous assault on Eliza Barnes, his colored wife. When the case was called in the Police Court this morning the wife charged that her husband stabbed her in the head with a knife, and for no cause whatever. Sey- eral months ago, the policeman told the court, he shot at her. The woman seemed to be suffering intense pain, and it was with difficulty that she remained on the nd long envugh to tell her story The husband denied the charge, but as the woman claimed she had another wit- ness the court continued the case until next week. —_—-.__ For Stenting.
