Result of Measurements.
For several weeks past measurements
have been made with a view to determin-
ing the average amount of leakage from
MIGRANTS. closets and faucets on private
premises. From the data available the
leakage was found to average as follows:
Hydrants, 1120.5 gallons per twenty-four
hours; closets, Lib per twenty-four hours:
faucets, 16.9 per twentyfour hours.
Applying these figures to the number OF
leaking fixtures of each class found in one
complete round Of the District of Columbia,
the total amount of leakage from defective
hxtureS on private premises Is found to be
3l4i.o21 gallons per tWenty-four hours. To
this must be added 25.55s gallons per day
due to leakage from public hydrants and
hre plugs, giving total of Dip. 5S3 gallons
due to waste from defective fixtures This
corresponds to an average daily per capita
OF sd gallons for each person in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and IL charged for at
the very moderate meter rate OF 8 cents
per thousand gallons would amount to
s2'5.1S per day, or s1u,439 per annum.
The Distributors.
There in the District Of Columbia
1903 miles of distribution mains under the
control Of the water department of the Dis
trict. The amount of leakage from these
mains and from house service pipes is as
We; wholly indeterminate.
There are in use in the District Of Column
bia 1i5 water meters. of twelve different
approved mikes, and 10 per cent of tho
total amount of Potomac water furnished
Is now metered.
Capt. Gatllard recommends that the per-
manent force of inspectors be increased by
the addition of two inspectors at a salary
OF $500 per annum each: that two addi-
tonal clerks be authorized In the water
registers office at $1,000 each per annum,
and that the salary of one of the 81 400
clerks be Increased to $1,000 per annum
The increase in salary asked is for a clerk,
who, In the absence of the water registrar,
Is required to act as chief clerk and at
other times performs duties Of much re-
SpOnsibility.
Water main tax accounts are now kept
ne states, in very crude manner the pres
ent system having been in use for many
years, and much additional labor and in
creasing confusion results. all of which
could be Obvated, he believes. by a change
to modern card system. He recommends
that an appropriation of s.. 500 be requested
for this purpose, the amount to be made
