THE BUSINESS MEN ASK FUNDS FOR CONDUIT Chamber of Commerce Group Urges Appropriation to Cover Entire Cost. FIGETS “AUTHORITY” BILL Glassie Delays Action on Measure to Give D. C. Heads More Power. A vigorous attack on the proposed bill to give additional powers to the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia defeated consideration and discussion of the bill last night at a mecting of the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce at the Willard Hotel. Following a lengthy report on the seventeen provisions of the Uill by Maj. Daniel Donovan, District auditor, which outlined and explained the various powers that had been tenta- tively selected as mecessary to the Commissioners, H. H. Glassie, chalr- man of the school committee of the chamber, presented a report of that committee opposing the proposal to give the Commissioners power to ap- point the members of the board of education. At the conclusion of Mr. Glassie's discourse Charles W. Darr, chairman of the police and fire protection com- mittee of the chamber, jumped to his feet and_said: b Mr. Chairman, inasmuch as Mr. Glassie has taken up an hour of our time on_ three words—board of edu- cation—in the discussion of this pro- posed bill, and inasmuch as there are probably others who will have some- thing to say on other points, and in- asmuch as I myself would like at least one hour to discuss some of these items, I move that this matter be taken up at some future time.” Refers Matter to Committee. Mr. Darr offered a substitute resolu- tion which asked that the whole mat- ter be referred to the committee on law and legislation, with instructions to report back at a special meeting of the chamber to be called by Mr. Gans. _This motion was finally adopted. Urging that the chamber recom- mend to Congress immediate appro- priation for the completion of the Great Falls _water supply project, Charles W. Clagett, chairman of the Great Falls committee, submitted the following report: i “The District of Columbia is now; and has for some time been, using the maximum amount of water the existing system will furnish. At the present time there are two weak spots in the conduit delivering water from Great Falls—one is the prosent oon- duit between Great Falls to the Dis- trict line and the other in the tunnel from Georgetown reservoir to the Mobtillan Park reservoir at the fil- tration plant. “Congress has authorized the con- struction of an additional conduit to Lring water from Great Falls to the of Washington and contracts have been let for the new conduit from Great Fails to the Distriot line, and the work upon it is up to schedule. “It is impossible to make any re- pair work on the weak point in the conduit from the Georgetown reser- voir to the McMillan Park reservoir becausa it takes two days to unwater this tunnel. and: as the supply of water stored in the city is only suf- ficlent to supplx the city for two days, it is impossible to either in- spect or repair this tunnel. In ‘fact, the engineer in oharge of this work considers it unsafe to unwater this tunnel, even if it could be done wi city Prevent Crippe- build resistance with SCOTTS EMULSION ing food-tonic.

The budget bureau recommended only $800,000 for this work, but has agreed to put in a supplementary estimate next Decem- ber for the funds needed. Urges More Fands, “In view of the dangerous condi- tlon existing in the tunnel from the Georgetown reservoir to McMillan Park, thjs being the only means of bringing water into the city of Washington, and considering the danger to which the people of Washington would be exposed if a break should occur in this tunnel before the new tunnel is completed, your committee recommends that the Chamber of Commerce should exert its influence to have -appropriations made for the completion of this work in the amount asked by the engineer in charge. “A break in the present tfinnel would cut off the water supply of the city; would cause untold suffering and distress, and probably would be followed by an epidemic of serious diseases. But this is not all. During the time the tunnel is out of com- mission the entire city would be ex- posed to fire. “In_view of these considerations and the fact that it has been neces- sary fdr the last several years to economize in the use of water, it is of the greatest importance that appropriations should be made in amounts to_ enable the engineer in charge of this work to complete it at_tho earliest possible time. “We therefore recommend that the Chamber of Commerce urge upon Congress the necessity of appro- priating the amount requested by the officer in charge of this work, so as to enable him to complete the same at the earliest possible time.
