ENGINEERING WORKS.
Gen. Gillespie on Fortifcations and
River and Harbor Operations.

General Gillespie, chief of engineers in
his annual report says that the sea coast
defenses of the United States are now
somewhat more than 30 per cent completed.
Twenty-Five of the principal harbors of the
United States have a sufficient number of
heavy guns and mortars mounted to permit
an effective defense against naval attack
and during the past three years consider
able progress has been made in the in
stallation of an adequate rapid-fire arma-
ment now the matter of first Importance
The existing projects for sea coast de-
fenses comprise 35S heavy guns of Sincb
10-inch and 12-inch calibers; 294 rapid-fire
guns from 224-inch to G-ireh caliber and
o. mortars. The total cost for the en-
glneerlng work is estimated at $40, 900 COO.
including what has been completed as wau
as what remains to be done General Gil
lespie estimates $iO,3GG 100 for sea coast
1ortlhcations for the fiscal year to end
June 20, 1893. ~
General Gillespie saws that the ir,no-+o,o

lenses OF Porto Rico, the Yaw,iian t.
iands, Guam and the Philippines has been

mitted for this purpose.
1t is urgently recommended that the
number of officers in the Corps of Engi-
neers be increased from 100 to 1S5, which
number. Gen. Gillespie says. is the very

and regulations.
The total amount actually expended for

Contract Not Rendered Illegal.

On question raised in the case of a
epresentative-elect in Congress who owns
property leased to the Post Office Depart
ment, the department has decided that a
contract made by proper officers of the
government with person who during the
existence of contract, is elected member
of Congress is not affected by such cleo
ton. This is based on decision of At
torney General Rodney rendered in 1909, a
year after the passage of an act of Con-
gress prohibiting any member of Congress
from making a contract with the United
States government.

heen completed as promptly as was hoped
for, largely owing to the great activity IN
all lines of the building trades, and 10
strikes and other causes not foreseen when
the first estimate of time required was
made but 1t will be entirely finished with II
there will be small balance to turn back
into the treasury.
The Water Supply.
In regard to the Washington aqueduct
General Gillespie says, in part:
Measurements of the daily and hourly
consumption and waste of water were made
curing ten months and gave an average of
IS, ,237 GAG gallons. The consumption and
waste measured on June %, 1909, We're
found to be 59,579,9O0 gallons per diem. This
is the largest June measurement ever taken,
and, estimating the population of the Dis
trct of Columbia as s0,463. gives daily
per capita consumption and waste of DID
gallons.
Careful and trustworthy investiga tiOns
made in various cities in the United States
show clearly that a daily per capita con-
sumption of 100 gallons Is ample for all do
mestic, business and public purposes, and
that any considerable increase above this
amount must be attributed to waste. This
extravagant use of water mas become a
serious menace to the supply of water by
the Washington aQueduct with its present
capacity-76,OOO,OOOg gallons-and at the rate
Of increase the ultimate limit would be
reached in about ten years.
The Filtration Plant.
The present consumption and waste have
also an important bearing on the subject of
filtration. A filtration plant has been au-
thorized by Congress and is now being con-
structed. 1t is probable that the cost of
filtration will be about s. per million gal
Ions. or at the present rate of consumption
about $500 per day or $4,000 annually.
This Is a large charge, and can be reduced
only by a reduction in consumption.
I'm the opinion of the local engineer Off
Ger in charge of the aqueduct the existing
conditions suggest two remedieS-either the
reduction of the consumption to reason
able rate, 100 gallons per capita per diem,
by the use of meters, or the increase of the
present supply to keep up with the present
demand by the building of a second con-
1uit from the Great Falls of the Potomac.
The necessary surveys of practicable routes
for this conduit should be taken in hand at
once and an estimate for this work is sub
'Initteif by the officer in charge
The amount (estfmated) required for COM
pletion of existing project for the filtration
plant is 81, ,73s, 1885.
The amount that can be profftably eX-
pended in fiscal year ending June 30. 1855
in addition to the balance available July !
