Against Water Meters.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Inc winter. In common with thousands OF
other citizens interested in the welfare of
the national capital, has noted with con-
siderable interest the plan for the introduce
ton throughout the District of Columbia of
the proposed water meter system. which
has received the approval of the Engineer
Commissioner. In your issue of Monday
evening appeared a letter from Col. A. T..
Brltton, also indorsing the system Just men
toned
AS opposed to both the present scheme of
water rents and the contemplated tax, 1t is
suggested: First, that provision should be
made at the earliest possible moment for a
water supply for the District adequate for
all the needs Of its population for the pres
ent as well as for number of years to
come either by means of the reservoir 10
be located near Howard University and the
completion of the tunnel, or in some ether
way equally effective. Second, that the ex-
penseS of the water department should be
merged with the various other expenses for
the malntenaLoe of the government of the
District, there being no good reason why a
special tax should be levied for the suppop
OF this department more than for the SUD-
port CT the fire department the public
schools. the police force, or any other
branch of our municipal system. Third, as
soon as the foregoing step has been taken,
all provisions in the nature of tax on the
use of water should be abolished to the end
that its use may be encouraged and in
creased, rather than diminished in the in
terest of public cleanliness and health.
1t is practically conceded on all sides that
the free and unrestricted use of water tends
toward the better sanitation of the city.
This is especially true in the homes OF the
poor. Under the present system, however
ard more SO under the contemplated plan
for the introduction of meters, it is the poor
who will necessarily suffer to the greatest
extent from the diminution of their water
supply. Much could be said, of course. in
elaboration of the foregoing suggestions,
but space in your columns will not be
claimed for the purpose at the present mo-
ment. The writer of this article has given
the subject under consideration consider
able thought for few years past, and does
not remember having seen. in print the
solution CT the problem to which, it is be-
neved, the plan already proposed would, If
carried out. ultimately lead.

LIGHTING THE POST OFFICE
The Government to Put in Its Own
Plant. !
Following the Practice Observed in
the Larger Citfes-The Appa-,
ratus Described.

In the sundry civil bill approved June
4, 1897, Congress made ali appropriation OF
$4,000 for the installation of an electric
light and power plant in ting new city post
office building. Plans and specifications
have been prepared by the Treasury De
partment for this plant and bids have been
advertised for. AS soon as the contract has
been awarded the Treasury Department
officials propose to push ting work.
There are two hundred ana seyehty-three
buildings throughout the coantry under the
control of the Treasury Department, and
In the larger cities the ! buildings are
equipped with electric Light plants belong
1rs to the government andsooerated by it
Ely this plan Uncle Sam saves money, and
combinations of electric light companies
have no terrors for him
The plant in the new post office in this
city Will comprise four vertical cross or
horizontal tandem compound, self-con-
tanned engines, which must each have a
guaranteed duty with 125 pounds initial
pressure Each engine is to be connected
directly to 120-kilo-watt capacity dynamo,
the armature of which is to be attached
directly to the shaft of the engine, while
the speed of the latter is not permitted to
exceed 300 revolutions per minute, and they
are required to be capable of a continuous
run of seventy-two hours under maximum
lead and not consume more than eight
morse power each Iric1onaI load, running
the generators with their brushes Off
Their governors are to he so designed that
in case Of breakage or any accident the
engine will come to a standsull. and the
regulation of the engine is TO be so nicely
adjusted that the governors will govern
within three per cent from full load to no
load
AS an indication of the nicely of balance
now obtainable in the manufacture of high
speed modern engines of this type, it is re-
quired that when they are placed upon
their foundation they are toebe leveled and
run without any fastenings,, demonstrating
their freedom from vibration.
The dynamos or generators to be driven
by these engines are each To have eapa-
city, as stated, of 12O kilo-watts each, at
1875 volts, and normal output Of $50 am
peres each. The total capacity of the four
machines will be about 5000 1G-candle pow

as the ingenuity of man may In the future
devise for its application.
The generators are to be Of the multipo-
lar pattern. having internal armatures of
