LARGEST WATERWORKS.
Boston to Possess the Greatest Reser-
voir in the World.
III. H. Lewis in Ainslee's)


Operations are in progress today
near Boston which viii ultimately give
to that city the proud distinction of
possessing the greatest reservoir Of
pure drinking water in the world.
Moreover. when present plans have
been realized, Boston can safely claim
that she has accomplished more, has
looked further into the future. and has
had a, stronger regard for the health
and welfare of her citizens than any
other city. either in this country or
abroad. These are strong words, but
they are amply borne out by facts.
Few people, even those in and about
Boston, realize the enormous extent of
the new WateTWOTkS system inauguT-
ated in 1898. and now well on toward
completion. They know that d law was
passed five years ago. placing the eE-
listing system in the hands of a COM
mission called the Metropolitan Water
Board. and that something is being
done to bring water from the vicinity
of Clinton. Mass, but the true cOndi-
ton Of affairs IS practically unknown
1t will surprise even those who should
be personally interested to learn that
within half a decade. the greatest
reservoir ever built viii be in operation
within thiTty-tWO miles OF Boston.
1T viii be even a greater surprise for
them TO learn that, when the system
now under construction is finished. not
only Boston, but also the cities Of
Chelsea. Everett. Maiden. Medford
Newton and SOmerville and the towns
of Belmont, Hyde Park. MelTose, Re

stitutiug what is known as the Metro
politan Water district. viii be kept
amply supplied with water. notwith-
standing the natural increase in popu-
latiOn. until 1850. 1t is this half cen
fury step into the future that win give
Boston the wei earned reputation of
providing for her people according tC
their honest needs and their deserts.
THE magnitude Of the new water
works system is impressive. 1t will in
clude as stated before, the largest
reservoir for potable water in the
world, a great aqueduct and a system
of distribution, constructed on modern
principles To prove the gigantic ma
tUre of the reservoir, il is only neCes-
sary to state that its capacity Will
reach the enormous extent of So 0SS Geo.
600 gallons. or almost twice as much as
the new CrOton reservoir near New
York City The building of this reSer-
voir means the flooding of a valley
thirty-twO miles from Boston. the
complete or partial submersion of two
thriving towns, and the changing of a
well known railways right of way
through the valley. The increased sup
ply of water to be derived by the Met
rOpOlitan district viii be better under
stood when il is known that this new
Wachusett reservoir viii have more
than four times the capacity of all the
existing Boston WaterwOrkS reser-
