NEW PUMPING STATION
INCREASE IN THE WATER SERVICE
IN ANAG0STIA.
Site Purchased at.torner of Min
nesOta Avenue and 18th Street
N ya
Work iBegun.


1t has been decided by, the District Com
missioners to provide a pumping station in
Anacostla for the towns water service. Nu-
merous complaints Of inadequate supply
nave been filed from, time to time by resi-
dents of the section having places situated
at such height that only small quantity
OF water at best reached them. even then
not being of much benefit The site for the
pumping station has been quietly procured,
and the work of excavating for the build
ing Is going on today. 1t is expected that
within thirty days the water service for
Anacostia viii be satisfactory, under
good high pressure from the station.
The ground for building was secured by
the District from Mr.. Adolphus GUIDE of
Aracostia, and is situated at the cor
nef OF minnesota avenue and 18th
street. The lot has a frontage of
about one hundred feet on Minnesota ave-
ana about the same depth. The building to
be erected will be of frame but will prob
ably be rebuilt later of brick. The struc-
lure Will house pump and boiler and
sn okestack sixty feet in height will be
constructed. Connection will be made be-
tween the pump and the Minnesota avenue
twelve-inch main, which extends as far as
Harrison street, when it reduces to a six
inch main, from which the various street
mains of the same size are supplied
throughout the town. In this way the ex-
ira pressure will be brought upon the en-
tire water service of the section, which is
not included in any pumping system of the
water department.
Increased Pressure,
1t is the intention to have a largely in
creased pressure on the water service, and
this pressure will continue for sixteen
hours.
For years citizens in That part of the Dis
trict have asked the District Commission
ers to provide some means whereby the
water service there might be brought with
better results to certain high points, where
IL reached but feebly under the system here
tofore in operation. There were complaints.
among others, from the florists on Good
Hope Hill and from the German Orphan
Asylum at the same place. The water sup
ply at these points, it is claimed has been
of but very little benefit. From other places
IN Anacostia, which. while not situated at
such very high points, yet too high to
nave the benefit of the extension of the
water service, complaints have been sent in
curing past years to the District Commits
sioners. Such places in Anacostia as Frank
lin street and Morris road and contiguous
streets are so situated.
Some citizens are of the opinion that the
pumping station will in the near future be
used to force water to a high reservoir near
Anacostia which will supply the people of
all the heights about the section, who now
have great difficulty in obtaining water

1t is claimed that while the mercantile
rates in some instances are inadequate, in
others they are correct and that, therefore,
the proposed uniform advance of % per
cent would result in anomalies and injus-
tice.
On this ground the postponement of the
advance in the new rates was advocated.
The discussion was in progress when this
report closed. 1t is thought by the repre-
sentatives of the agency companies that
with the new preferred rates regarded as
minimum and the deferring of the putting
in force of the advance in the mercantile
rates, the differences between the compa-
MES in the association and the local CONF
panies in the new association are not suffi-
cient to precipitate a rate war al this time
In fact, some of the agency men say they
don't think 1T will ever be necessary to go
to that extreme.
Local COmpanies' Organization.
There was conference this morning Of
the members of the executive committees
of the local insurance companies which
have recently withdrawn from the Associa-
ton Of Fire Underwriters. The details of
the proposed new organization, which is to
be formed to take the place of the under
writer's association, were discussed. The
general understanding was reached that
there would be no change made in the
present rates; that they would be neither
advanced nor reduced but that the new
organization would proceed to conduct the
fire insurance business on the plane of ade-
quate rates. This. 1t is claimed, will be
equitable to both the insured and the in
surers, and only the amounts will be paid
for insurance which will be adequate for
the protection given.
Another meeting will be held, when the
name of the association will be chosen and
other details of the organization completed.
1t is stated that several of the large agency
companies have expressed the intention of
joining the new organization when 1t is
formed. In that case the membership will
not be confined to representatives of the
local companies, as at present.

Need Not Precipitate War.

As the former rates will be maintained by
the local comanies it is argued by the rep
resentatives of the foreign companies that
this change need not precipitate a rate war.
In fact, they deprecate such a conflict, and
it may be said that the discussion of the
situation on the part of the agents of out
side companies is not nearly as sanguinary
as was the a few weeks ago.
On the part of the local companies prep
arations are being made to perfect their
organization, and confident of the support
and sympathy of the people who control
fire insurance business in the District they
propose to continue the lines already
laid down.
Another matter came before the Fire I'm
derwriters Association that was, if posi-
BILE of still greater interest to representa-
tives of the foreign companies, and that
was the increase in the mercantile rates.
At the last meeting the association adopted
the report of the committee which recon-
mended a uniform increase of 20 per cent
in the entire schedule. Objection has been
made to this course not being good in
surance, and many of those present at the
meeting this afternoon favored the post
poning to some future time the enforcing
of the new schedule, and in the interval the
association, 1t is claimed, would be able to
appoint compact agent, who could ad-
just all rates of this class according to the

RATE WAR MAY BE AVERTED
ACTION OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS
AT MEETING TODAY.
Important Questions Being Consider
Schedule on Mercantile Risks.

A special meeting of the Association of
Fire Underwriters of the District was held
this afternoon in the rooms of the Wash
ington stock exchange. Two matters of
Importance called to the attention Of the
association were the occasion of holding the
meeting at this time. One Of these is a
change in the date of putting In force the
reduction In rates in preferred risks. AT
the last meeting the association adopted the
report of the committee appointed to act
with the representatives of the middle de-
partment in attempt to adjust the differ
ences that had arisen in insurance circles
here which favored the reduction in the
rates on houses from % cents on the 800 to
Is cents and the rate on furniture from 40
cents to % cents.
ried by the twelve local companies, it is
claimed by the representatives of the for
eign companies, who constitute the great
bulk Of the membership of the association.
that IN order to give the local companies
opportunity to prepare for this great
change in their business the new rates
should not 60 into force until the 18th of
September. Since that meeting of the asso-
citation, however the local companies. with
two exceptions, have withdrawn from the
association. Now it is agreed, as the local
companies are no longer members of the
association, the new rates might as well be
put in force at once. 1t is understood. how
ever. that this change in effect will be only
to make the new rates the minimum rates,
and that hereafter the members of the
ISOLATION shall have liberty to write such
business they can get at the old rates.
and when they can't get ii on those terms,
then they will come down to the new fig
ures. In other words, the plan of the as
Sociation members is to write risks on
houses at - cents when they can get them.
and at IL cents when they can't get the
business otherwise.
