Pleasant Prospeats for 9 Plentiful Supply

Much 1ndixnaS@aaon Aroused over the
street Improvement Schedule
other Mfftters Of Interest.

The @ street pNmping station is again in
operation. the water in the reservoir at
32d and U streets having gotten so low
that the reinforcement of the street
pipes has becomeoa present necessity.
The new street main connection has
not yet been made, though this and its
twelve-inch branches up 32d to T, and
thence to 35th and beyond 32d on P, have
nearly been laid, '"'
There is a probability that the increased
facilities for carrying the water will neces-
state the maintenance of the Georgetown
station. ''-. @i" -.
Engineers connected with the water de-
partment say that a few weeks will end all
comrlaints about the insufficiency of the
West End supply, as the present extern
sions. enlargements and improvements are
designed to provide more water than is alb
soluteIy needed. The scarcity here has at
times resulted in serious annoyance, resi-
dents otter being unable on the high serv-
ice section to get water to their bath
rooms.
Indignation Over the Street Schedule.
The published street improvement sched-
ule, in which only $1,000 is given to the
west end, and $4,000 of this is to be spent
on M street, thoroughfare whose i'm
provement has been made necessary
through operations Of the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company, and which
is almost United States thoroughfare
from the fact that it is the only road to
Fort Myer and Arlington cemetery. has
aroused the Indignation expressed here on
the publication of the report that this
$25.000 was to come out of Georgetown's
share of the appropriation. In the first
place Georgetowners say the railroad conf
pany should bear this expense, and on their
escape, the general fund should stand it,
not Georgetown locally.
Before the operations of the railroad
company, NJ street was one of the best
paved streets in the District. While the
citizens committee have as yet done moth
ing formal toward securing a just charg-
ing of this $25,O0O. 1t is the intention of the
leaders to seek congressional justice in the
matter Immediately on the convening Of
the highest legislators.
