capacity of 100000 gallons a day. for
oo0o: and it would cost about $50 day
to run it. On these bases I calculated that
to establish a European, plant for Wash
ington capable of fiitering 50,o0O,00O gal
Ions a day would cost s6Gf657. and to put
can plan of rapid DIRK, with alum, would
take $3.50, 900. But in the course of ten
years the demand here will require a daily
supply of about 100000 gallons of water,
ar d on this basis the cost would be: Nat
ural process, 100000: rapid process,
s1,324,50O. To maintain the plants on the
basis of 50,000,O00 gallons a day would cost
these sums each year: Natural method,
s24 1888; rapid method. Sl1i366. If we We're
to run up to T5O00,e00 gallons the yearly
cost of operating would be: Natural plant,
$SG50; rapid plant, s17f,55o.

.,,' And SO I haye come to the conclusions.
which have officially expressed in my re.
ports that, as long as stheF:present condf-
ticns as to the great waste of water here.
continue the large expenditures that would
be required for the first cost of filtration
works for our water supply tand the annual
cost Of maintenance of these works would
not be justifiable, and that for the present
at least. reliance should bes placed on sedi
mentation. s-.it
1T is expected that wheaa the works Of
Improvement required for restoring to use
have been completedjh the time. during
which the water may be settled before it
is sent to the city from the distributing res
ervoir will be much fncreased-it will be
doubled-that the condition of the water as
to color after high water and fres1ets in
the Potomac and its tributaries will be
much improved. and that when the new
reservoir near Howard University. which
Is to contain 300. 600 900 gallons of water
shall have been finished and brought into
use, there will be but little to be desired in
respect to the quality of our water supply"
