UP TO HYDRAULIC EXPERTS.
Officials Soon Expect Report on
CITY Water Supply.

Allen Hazen. chairman of the Commission
of Hydraulic Engineers. departed yesterday
for New York City. He will return to st.
Louis in about three weeks. when the COM
mission will proceed with its investigation
Mr.. Hazen took with him bundle Of re-
ports made by the Board of Public Inn
provements and the Water Commissioner
on the ST. Louis Waterworks, and in rela-
ton to propositions and suggestions for
changing the source of supply.
The commission is evidently going into
the work very thoroughly. The members
obtained information regarding elevations.
topography pumping capacity, capacity of
reservoirs, consumption of water. the char
acter of the water. the deductions resulting
from scientific Investigations, and other
relevant subjects.
1t is admitted that two chief propositions
confront the commission. The first con-
Germs the best and most economical method
or system to furnish clear, wholesome
water. The second relates to the manage
ment of the Waterworks, involving the
question of saving. If the commission can
submit plan whereby the cost Of pump
ing can be reduced. the economy to the
city would be great. 1t is generally feared
that local conditions will forbid change In
the. pumping system. although it is never
theless hoped that the commission will
cover this phase compensatory, and pos
stbly offer some practical suggestions for
economy.
