TWO BILLION GALLONS.
savannah's Water Consumption for
the Last Twelve Months.

Supt. Kinsey of ttle water department
will complete his report of the operations
OF his department for 1899 to-day. The
report will show a total consumption of
water for the year of 2,163, 100 ,554 gallons,
as against 1924 ,965,SiS gallons for the pre-
vious year, a very considerable saving.
The average daily consumption was g.
O36. S9S gallons, daily saving of 25O,679 gal
Ions, as compared with previous year. The
amount of coal consumed was 1,57S tons,
a reduction of "a tons on the previous
year, the average number of gallons
pumped per ton being 1871, 1T9.
The water department makes a good
showing on its budget, the total eXpendi
lures for all purposes, except laying new
mains, being $31 227.12. out of an appropria-
ton OF 49,, 500, leaving unexpended ST.,
272.SS The greatest pumpage was during
the first four months of the year. due
largely to the large wastage of water
from broken pipes, and in part doubtless
to the presence of the soldiers.
During the year 9,012 feet of new water
mains were laid, bringing the total mile
age of water mains up to fifty-seven.
Fourteen new fire hydrants were put in,
chiefly in the southern section. For tbs
coming year II is recommended that the
l6-inch main on Abercorn street be ex-
tenueI from t<AHueisOH 10 NSlltn streets,
and that the 6-inch pipe laid for the army
camps on the Thunderbolt road be taken
up and laid on the streets in the south
ern section.
The old water works were operated for
a total of 1886 hours during the year and
IS, 7O5 976 gallons of water pumped. The
old works are kept in condition for use at
any time This Is Supt Kinsey's first an
nual report he having succeeded Mr.. H.
NJ. Lotion, now general manager of the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway about nine months ago. For
his first year IN office, Supt Kinsey makes
very good showing.

The ladies interested in the erection of

cussed, and an encouraging condition of
receipts from donations was shown.
The ladies have not yet decided when
nor where they will build, nor have they
made any positive plans for the prosecu-
ton of the work Their plans will largely
depend, of course, upon the generosity of
the dona tons they receive, and it is hoped,
for the sake of the worthy cause they have
so zealously championed, that their efforts
to do good will not be hampered by any
lack of funds.

Crops on Sandy Ground Entirely

The Weather Bureau Bulletin tol
crop condition for the weeks ending
June 25, says
The latter part of the week was
very warm, with the maximum
temperatures ranging from go to
| So. Local and generally very light
showers early in the week relieved
the extremely dry conditions hardly
more than a momentary freshen1ng
of the verdure. From the middle
Minnesota valley southwark, and in
southeastern counties lying along the
Iowa line, owing to rains of previous
weeks the drought is not felt so
severely, but even in these sections
the crops are not nearly as good as
they are usually. Spring wheat
seems to be standing the dry condi-
tons better than oats and barley, but
ON sandy soil this crop is said to be
so dried up as to be worthless for
cutting; on heavier soils all the
small grains may yield some grain,
but the straw is short, the stand ire
gular and thin and the heads small.
The grains are heading in all parts
of the state. Flax which had good
start is apparently holding out we'll,
but late fax is thin and poor, and
all of it must have rain soon. Winter
rye, and also the small acreage Of
winter wheat, is ripening. Small
grains are being plowed up for forage
crops and for fax in some sections.
an the southern part Of the state corn
and potatoes are doing fairly we'll,
though the stand as whole is not
good; those best cultivated are look
ing The upland hay is nearly
a failure, except in extreme south
eastern counties, where it is good,
and there clover is being cut. The
wild hay crop is poor. apples are
dropping somewhat, but the crop is
promising, Small fruits need rain
badly. Abundant rains will help
potatoes corn, fax, pastures and low
land grass. AS the necessity for
sowing forage crops for fall and win
