EXPENSE NOT JUSTIFIED.

Response to Request for Increased
Water Facilities.
At the regular meeting Of the East Wash
ington Heights Citizens Association, held
early this month, attention was called to
the inadequate supply Of wholesome,
healthful water in Its territory; to
the difficulty experienced in obtaining well
water Of any character in many places,
upon which the people mainly depend; to
the frequency with which the wells go dry
in summer and other seasons Of drought,
and to the unwholesomeness Of the water
when the supply Is scant. As a result. Of
this showing the association resolved to re-
quest the District Commissioners to extend
the water main up Good Hope hill and
along the Bowen road as far as the Suitland
road and along the Naylor road as far as
the Hamilton road.
copy of this resolution was transmitted
to the Commissioners, and Mr.. w. A. Nc
Farland, superintendent of the water de-
partment, reported to them that as the
present pressures are insufficient to force
water to the top of Good Hope Hill. an in
dependent force main would Of necessity be
laid. costing in all about $4,000. This
would also. said Mr.. Mcfarland. call for
the location Of a stand pipe at an elevation
Of about 280 feet above tide. as the territory
along the Bowen road Is too level to permit
the use Of reservoir.
The total first cost Of this improvement
would no doubt, thinks Mr.. Mcfarland.
reach $4,000. He thinks It would also in
crease the running expenses of the Anacos-
tia pumping station, as the pressures would
have to be increased from the present, fifty
pounds per square inch, to 100 pounds thus
doubling the coal bill and increasing the
wear on the machinery.
'1n my opinion" said Mr.. Mcfarland,
this expenditure Is not justified at the
present time"

proved, and the association will be 30 In
