STUDYING THE RIVERS.
Important Work Undertaken by the
United States Geological Survey.

1t is not generally known that the
government, through the United states
Geological Survey, has been making a
careful study of the rivers and the
underground water supply of the
country So important has this work
become, and so helpful to- many widely
diversified interests, that a special
branch, known as thj division of
photography. has been organized to
conduct It. This division has been in
existence since lSSS, and is pushing it's
Investigations as rapidly as the APP
propriations will admit.
Broadly speaking, it's work consists
of a careful inspection of the habits
and behavior of rivers, /. C., the varia-
ton of the amount of their flow
throughout the year and from year to
year. This entails "A study of their
drainage basins and an accurate meas
urement of their discharge. The
knowledge thus obtained is the ncccs-
sary foundation on which all enter
prises contemplating the use of rivers
must depend. In the east many rivers
valuable as a source Of water supply
are under examination. In the west
for these purposes also and for irri-
cation they are being measured. The
very important matter of river pollu-
ton is one which demands the same
initial Investigations, and the govern
ment is rendering its assistance to
clerk and save it's growing evil.
out on the great plains, where the riv-
ers are few and the rainfall is light
the underground we'll waters so neces-
sary to the inhabitants, are mapped
and thus made available.
A number of states in different parts
of the country have seen the value of
this work and have made appropria-
tions to have it continued within their
own borders more rapidly and fully
than the government alone could af-
ford to conduct it. The country s
water resources. which are among the
greatest it possesses, are practically
inexhaustible and have but just begun
TO be developed.

FIRE DEPARTMENT NEWS

| The new rules for the government of
the fire department, which have been
| compiled by Director of Public Safety
F. l.. Wormser, and which are now
being printed. are not to go into effect
until October /. This decision has
been arrived at on account of a pro-
vision in the rules regarding the re-
moval of members of the department.
| This provision provides that no
member of the department shall be
removed after the rules go into effect
unless specific charges have been pre-
ferred against him, and then not until
these charges have been heard and
passed upon by a court of inquiry,
to consist of five of his equals or su-
periors in rank. This will preclude
the possibility of any removals for po-
litical purposes.
Director of Public Safety Wormser
said yesterday to a Tribune man that
the rules would not go into effect until
October l, in order that the depart
ment might be put on a proper plane
of efficiency before they became oper-
ative.
Before this provision for a court
of inquiry goes into effect" said he,
Il want to be assured that the men,
bers of the department are competent
and efficient men, and it will take two
more months to do this. Before that
length of time expires it might be
found necessary to remove someone.
You can say, however, that if any
body is removed before these rules
go into effect. il will be solely and en-
tirely for inefficisncy, and for no
other reason"
The director has been largely guild
ed in arriving at this determination by
reson of the fact that none of the
present members of the department
were appointed by him, and he ac-
cordingly has no other means of ar
irving at a knowledge of their fitness
for their positions than his own OBJ
servations.
Director Wormser is exceedingly
anxious to have councils ratify the
contracts for the hook and ladder
truck and new fire engine on the
ground of eXpediency. He believes
that If common council passes the res
olution recently adopted by select
council, providing for re-advertise-
ment, that the city will be sued by
the two companies with whom con-
tracts have been entered into, and
that endless litigation will result.
The new hook and ladder truck is
already in the city, and the construc-
tion of the fire engine has been nearly
completed, so that in case the con-
tracts are ratified, the two pieces of
apparatus would be ready for use al
most at once. The fact that Recorder
SConnell has been from the first in
favor of ratifyng the contracts. and
that the members of select council
:. were mistaken in thinking otherwise
will, 1t is believed, soon result i'm the
passage of a second resolution legal
izing the whole transaction.

The select council fire department
committee is TO consider the question
as TO the advisahility of the city pur-
chasing that part of the fire alarm sys-
tenn owned by the Gamewell Fire Alarm

entire system on its own hook, All of

subject between the company and the
