WATER WASTE.

Tits stated that il is the intention of Mr. Sey.
uour, Superintendent of the Washington
Aqueduct, to shut of the water used for the
purpose OF watering the streets. The water in
the reservoir n is said, falls about an inch each
day, which IS cauced, perhaps, by the uncom-
monty dry seaSoa we ere now experiencing
The gates At the Great Falls will be inspected
20 ascertain whether or not there is a, impedl-
Inent TO the flow Of water into the reservoir.
Another cause for the decrease OF the water
may be found in he fact that for months the
water has been flowing in uninterrupted
streams from the plugs on the avenue at 1Ith
Etreet, KimmePs Alley, between * and 9th
streets, and at AZ street The quantity of
water that has thus run to waste would
supply q city. 1t is proper to say
1hat the Corporation or its officers, is n OF re-
sponsible for this wastase, as the Government
has the control of these avenue plugs. The
difficulty is that the plugs are wholly unfit for
their work, being part and parcel OF the in
adequate provision made by Congress for its
portion of the work of keeping the avenues in
condition. We believe the Commissioner of
Public Buildings does all possible with the
paltry sum allotted him by Congress, and
which is ridiculously inadequate for the work
he is expected to have executed.
Private citizens, disiiking to have their side
walks deluged and broken away by this flood
of waste water, have offered to replace cheese
plugs by the effective ones used by the Corpo-
ration, Cthe Mcclellan plug at their own ex-
pense, but bave failed to obtain the privilege,
The Government authorities holding that the
Government could not exercise control over
plugs put down by private indi vIduals.
Another cause for the failure of water is to
be found in the immense waste by careless
water-cartnen, who deluge the streets with
their sprinklers in that free handed style pecu-
liar to persons dispensing material that costs
them nothing. -.--.r ..- -.
