SUPERVISORS MEETING.-The Board
of Supervisors of the county met in
special session to-day TO consider the
request OF the U. S. War Department
ia ny q water main from the south end
OF the Aqueduct bridge through Ross
'yn and along the county road to the
northeast gate of Arlington cemetery.
80 Chat water can be introduced from
the reservoir above Georgetown into
Fort Niger. All the members Of the
borad were present.
-Mr. Frank Hume brought the matter
TO the attention o.! The board, and said
lie thought ( would be well TO allow
the government to Go the work.
Mr, }. Z. Clements asked ifthc gov
cfnGent would have u large water
nam laid, ana then allow the residents
OF Rosslyn, and along the line &c Fort
Myel to tap this main and run water
through then houses, by paying for it,
k they do IN the ciyy OF Washington.
Nh James K. Cation said he was rep
reseEting the Rossiyn property, and
thought If n water main was laid that
il should follow the streets Of Resslyn
ana not cross the lots IN any portion OF
the town OF Rosslyn Nh. Cation also
thought chat II 4 water main was laid
through the country the people should
have the right to tap il and use the Wa
ter { they thought proper.
Chairman Hume agreed with the gen.
tlemen, but thought they should not
ask TOO much, all at once, OF the gov
ernmeui, he said Il the government made this
first step 10 the Improvement Of Fort hyeT II
wouiG ua; he long before more improvement
would be made there AID shat these mains
would be allowed To lie tapped. Probably gas

2ie along the route might ice allowed 10 top
the pipe The government would cYentg-
ally take fall charge of the whole arlington
est,tc, and convert It to sainc useful purpose
Supervisor Wa. y. Fci'rcy thought that with
some restrictions, the board should grant The
right. Supervisor NJ F. Rircl thought that
II was best 70 allow the government; to male
