effect tnat she mad never given instruc-

REPORT ON THE AQUEDUCT
Capt. Gaillard, in Charge, Submits
Facts and Figures.
Interesting Data Relating to the
Nearly Doubled in Ten Years.

Capt. d. d. Gailiard has reported to Gen.
Wilson, chief of engineers that the total
amount that has been expended for the
construction and maintenance of the aque-
duct and its accessory works To June 80,
1897, including the Washington aqueduct
tunnel and the new reservoir near Howard
University was $6,49o,7I0-51. OF which
amount the District OF Columbia paid
81, ,292 .32o.25.
During the month of July the height
of the water on the gauge at the mouth of
the conduit at Great Falls has varied be-
tween 1911 and 151.7 feet above the
datum plane. During the month the con
dtion or the water at the distributing res
ervoir, divided into days, was as follows:
Very turbid. days; turhld, days; slightly
turbid, 3 days clear, 22 days. Excluding
the days when the water was purposely
lowered in order TO measure the consump-
ton OF water, the level at the distributing
reservoir varied between 145.85 and 46. 90
fee. above the datum plane.
The filling of the narrow, shallow strip
OF the Dalecarlia reservoir near the south
Loathouse was built at the Daiecarlia
reservoir. Slight repairs were made to
the conduit road and the bitches and en-
bankB;ents cleaned. From the channels
around the Daiecarlia reservoir Were re-
moved about 100 cubic yards OF sand de-
posted by the storm of July Z. The trees
blown down by the storm Were removed.
On July 3 and 8 current meter observa-
tons Were taken in the conduit at manhoie
No. 80. Those taken on the latter date
reof great interest, as they actually meas
ured the maximum discharge which can be
developed in the portion of the conduit be-
tween Great Falls and the Dalecarlia raser-
voir during the lowest stage or the Potomac
