TUNNEL PUMPED OUT,
Progress of Work for Increasing the
City's Water Supply

Col A. NJ. Miller the engineer officer in
charge of the Washington Aqueduct has
made a report to General Wilson, chief of
engineers, of the preliminary steps taken
by him for the completion of the tunnel
conduit and the Howard University reser-
voir. The tunnel has been pumped out. in
volving the removal of 2 706,03S gallons of
water, the mud and old timbers at the
bottom of the shafts cleaned out and a
small portion of the tunnel trimmed for
lining. Fourteen feet of the Rock creek
shaft, sixteen feet of the Champlain avenue
shaft, and all of the Howard University
shaft have been retimpered. The amount
of water pumped out of the tunnel was ex-
elusive of seepage water pumped out after
the tunnel was emptied.
Efforts are now directed to completing
the timbering Of the shafts, erecting head
houses at the shafts, placing cages in the
shafts and continuing the trimming of the
tunnel, after which the force will con,mence
the removal of the stones now piled up In
the tunnel.
Colonel Miller says that the water reryed
to the people of the District was perfectly
clear during the entire month Of Septem-
ber.
