WATER SUPPLY.

"AIEn SSffL1.
Maintenance and repair of Washington
aqueduct, increasing the water supply of
Washington, D. c., and Investigating water
supply of Washington, D. c.
These works were in the charge of Col.
Theodore A. Bingham. United States army,
to July IL, 1898, and of Lieut.. Col. Alexan-
der NJ Miller. Corps of Engineers, since
that date.
!. Washington Observation-Disclosures and
other buildings were repaired. The former
were repointed and covered with wash Of
Portland cement; the latter INCLUDING the
Office at Rock creek bridge) were repainted
whtewashed. Twelve hundred feet of
new fences built, and about As miles
of picket and board fences was repaired
and whitewashed.
During the past year, not including the
occasion when the water level was lowered
for the purpose of measuring the con-
sumption and waste Of water the extreme
fluctuation of the water level in the dis
tributfng reservoir was 1.5 feet.
The by-conduit around the Dalecarlia
reservoir is not available for use in it's
present condition, and Is so weak as not to
be water tight. 1t requires strengthening
and in some places complete rebuilding.
Six hundred cubic yards of flint stone
was crushed and spread upon the Conduit
road during the year, and Zig cubic yards
was purchased for macadamizing this road.
Travel on the Conduit road has increased
so greatly during recent years that 1t is
Impossible 10 keep II IN ltS present COuQl-
ton out Of the present annual appropr1a-
ton for operation, preservation and repair
of the Washington aqueduct without det-
riment to other more vital parts of The
system.
AS the keeping of this road in proper or
der is a necessary item in the repair and
maintenance of the Washington aqueduct
as long as 1t is kept open to public traffic
1t is not deemed necessary to submit a
special estimate for this purpose The
road Is essentially a part of the aqueduct
system and the expense of improving 1t
and keeping It in order would seem a proper
charge to the improvement, maintenance
and repair of the Washington aqueduct,
and the estimate includes this expense.
General repairs, such as cleaning out Gull
verts and bitches, cutting down bushes
and trimming slopes. were made to the
entire road between Georgetown and Great
Falls.
The ordinary inspection of mains and re-
pairs of leaks therein, oiling and working
pipes to prevent freezing and Investigations
of applications for permission to tap mains
were carried on during the year.
AS a result of a very heavy rainfall at
the Dalecarlia reservoir on August ID, 1898,
when 5A inches of rain fell between IL
am and pm, the channels around the
reservoir were overlooked and the embank-
ment Of the nine-foot channel gave way
for a distance of As feet, and the smallest
or two-foot channel, for a distance of 26
feet. The damage to the work was re-
paired at once, the repairs being completed
by October 30.
The consumption and waste of water
were measured on June 81. 1899, and found
to be 5o079,S55 gallons per diem. This is
the largest June measurement ever taken
and, estimating the present population of
the District at $4,000, there ID obtained

vote that considerably over the nee
essary majority are for the water.
Mr.. MOritz, the gentleman receiv-
ing the franchise, will begin work on
the plant at once, and do everything
that can be during the cold weather
The work will require many hands and
will be big lift for the laborers. 1t
will first be necessary to make a survey,
but this will not take much time. The
voting of this plant means much to
Lancaster, as We will now be able to
offer many inducements to enterprises
wanting location, be more healthy,
have less dust, and, greatest of all,
have some protection against fire.
THE RECORD don't care to brag Of it's
work in the matter, but we do want
to crow over the public spiritedness
and push shown by the decisive major
ity given.

b M. Burd EFT Dead.

A telephone to THE RECORD, re-
ceived yesterday, states that Mr.: Ben.
M. Burdett had died suddenly at his
home, in Lexington, Tuesday morn
ing at two O'Clock. His remains were
taken to Germantown for interment.
1t was impossible to learn anything
further of the death, the wires being
so full of political talk. A more ex.
tended notice of Mr.. Burdett will be
given in next issue. He has been in
failing health for some time, but his
condition was not considered serious.

The result of the vote on the vote
on the water works question leaves no
doubt as to how the people of Lam
caster stand on the question. 1t goes
to show that the town is out for push
and progress. The majority wo uld
have been much larger, but a great
many forgot to vote on the question.
Very few straight" tickets were cast
in the town race, and when a voter
had finished crossing" he very nat

the water works vote.

names had all been printed in row.
There are in the neighbOrhOOd of 700

Some Of the good ladies pulled our

saying last week that some parties
had contributed as much as $40 toward
the new gate. There have been some
handsome subscriptions and tn e
amount is growing nicely, but they
have not yet secured enough. Some
have made remarkably small contri-
buttons, one fellow hant ing in quar-
ter and asking for change, but the
majority have given according to their
means. The Improvement now looks
like a certainty. and will beone of the

STEWARD HANHALAN's ARREST
Trouble Likely to he Investigated
by the War Department.

The arrest of Steward John Hanhalan,
of the transport ingalls,, which took Sec
retary Alger to Cuba and brought him
back home again, was made not because of
the quality or quantity of food served. but
because of the stewards insolence. He was
placed under arrest for this cause on the
way home, but was released again. His
rearrest at Newport News on the charge
Of misrepresenting the Commissary De-
partment of the ingalls,, may lead to inves-
tigation by the War Department. Steward
Hanhalan charges that his assistants, ap-
pointed by Captain Wright. of the ingalls,,
instead Of by Commissary Major Thomas
Cruise, were utterly incompetent.
Private Secretary Victor Mason states
that the food on the trip was excellent and
the only complaint Secretary Alger or any
one in his party could make was that there
was too great variety.
The entire trouble, it is believed. grew
out of the appointment to Hanhalan's de-
partment Of men he had not personally
selected.
