Amount required for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1885, is 80, ,0GO This is 81, 900 in ex-
cess of annual appropriation of the past five
years, and it is needed to construct an over
fall at the receiving reservoir in order To
carry the waste water over conduit. The
usual appropriation of 100000 per year is just
sufficient to maintain the works, and does
not have any surplus for the ovarlall.
ERECTION OF FIsHwAYs AT GREAT FALLS.
The act for increasing the water supply OF
Washington provides for the erection of suit
able fshways at Great Falls and at the dam,
to he constructed under the direction of the
United States fish commission. Certain sur
veys have been made by Mr.. Mcdonald, the
assistant fish commissioner, and he reports
that further surveys would be necessary, and
it was the purpose to make these during tho
month of July. No action towards the
erection of the tishways has been begun as
yet, and it is proposed to carry it on with the
proposed extension of the dam. The amount
appropriated is $4,000.

The decrease last year over 1882 was 5,il3,-
149 gallons, though the number Of water TAX
ers has been steadily increasing. This result

Death OF Col. Grafton.

By the death of Col. Benjamin +. Grafton
Washington has lost one of its most ener-
getic and entcrprisiug citizens. He came to
this city in 1871 and entered into partnership
in the practice of the law with Gen. Halbert
L. Paine, under the firm name of Paine Il
Grafton. He remained member of this
firm in its various changes until about year
ago, upon his return from Europe, when he
withdrew from it and opened separate Office
on New York avenue.
He was born near Urbana Ohio, Sept. 90,
1S4l, and entered the union army as u vol
unteer when in his twentieth year. He served
throughout the war in tho army of tho Cum
berland, and participated actively in all its
great campaigns. He was several times pro-
NOTED and brevcted for gallantry in action.
After the close of the rebellion he accepted u
commission i'll the regular army, and was en-
plOyed under the reconstruction acts in tho
districts Of Virginia and Texas In Texas he
was on the staff of Gen. Buell., and was of
great service in effrcting firm but mild en-
fOrcement of authority in that disturbed re-
gion. To such an extent did he conciiate
the respect of that community
that he narrowly escaped election as II
republican to the torty-second con-
gress from the heavy democratic district
in which he served. Soon after, preferring
civil pursuits, and having qualified himself
for the law, he resigned his commission, and
entered actively upon professional and busi-
ness life. In both he won high position, and
