THE POSTAL CARDS.
Contractor Daggett Will Print Them
on Better Paper.

settlement, at least for the present, has
been reached in the matter of the quality of
the postal cards furnished by the contractor,
MIR. Al Daggett Postmaster General Wana-
maker was not satisfied with the paper used in
the postal cards and in addition he has received
many complaints. He informed Mr.. Daggett
that the cards must be up to the stand
ard and refused to accept any more
OF the cards printed on the paper that has been
used. Mr.. Daggett proposed to order his
paper from the mandatory where the samples
were made upon which the contract was based.
This proposition was accepted and the postal
cards will, for the present at least, be printed
on this paper. II this proves satisfactory
MIR. Daggett will be allowed to continue to
carry out the contract which was made for
four years. Otherwise the contract will be
taken from him and new bids invited. For the
past ten days, because this question
WAS unsettled, the manufacture of postal
cards has been stopped. The supply
ON hand, however. was ample to meet the
demand and now the manufacture will be be-
that all the cards that have been furnished
so far under Mr.. Daggett's contract
have not been below the standard.
But quite quantity were and it is claimed BY
the contractor that this was due to the new
building where the cards we're manu-
featured and to other causes connected
with the operation of a new
plant. Mr.. Wanamaker, however, concluded
that the experimental stage had been passed
and he took steps which have resulted as above
stated.

THE WATER TURNED ON.
The Gates Opened and the New Bis
Main Tried Today.

At 1910 o'clock this morning, In the presence
Of half dozen spectators and without formal.
ity or parade Of any kind, the gates were
opened in the new 48-inch main and washinR.
ton received the first effects Of its additional
water supply. Miss Elliot, the daughter Of
Col George H Elliot, the engineer in charge,
gave the 6rst turns to the lever which Get the
current in motion through the big main.
The different sections Of the line had already
been filed either from the reservoir direct OF
from the 4th street main ct New Jersey avenue.
The gates at 30th street had, however, re-
NAMED closed. The pressure received through
the other mains had been sufficient to test fos
leaks. None had been found.
Two hours were occupied in opening the
gate, so as to insure q gradual increase Of the
pressure. The chief effect today will be pro-
duced on Capitol Hill. The side connections
thence westward will be opened In succession
and 1t will probably be Saturday evening before
the effect will be fully felt throughout the
city. Indeed, Capitol Hill will not receive the
maximum effect until connection Is made with
the 3O-inch main recently laid through the
Capitol grounds and as far east as 18th street
Some minor connections which will add to
the general result also remain to be made.
But very short time will now suffice to test
the capacity and the advantage of the new
work. 1t has been completed many weeks
within the estimated time and far within the
estimated cost
Captain Lusk, with an assistant, took the
pressures on Capitol Hill this afternoon. The
result WAS very gratifying. Itshowed a healthy
