Not Losing Any Sleep

The Annapolis Water Company is
said not to be losing any sleep over
the report that the boring of the arte-
sian well at the Naval Academy will
cut off its receipts 81 . 100 per month,
and thereby reduce the Academy ex-
penses to that amount, which is now
paid to the Water Company. A prom
inent member of the Water Company
said today there is no danger that the
Naval Academy will cut off its water
supply from the city.
1t is impossible to use the artesian
well water for mechanical purposes,
as the chemicals the water contains
burn up the boilers, as it has done
the boilers at the ice plant. Besides,
the Naval Academy is said to use
/. 900, 600 gallons of water a day. The
artesian well cannot supply this, neith-
er can the five artesian wells at the
water works. 1t is possible the arte-
sian we'll water from the new well
may be used in the officers quarters,
but there issdoubt even of this, as
many of the families object to the
taste even for cooking purposes.

some pretty hard service in both
places Corporal Hughes served over
two wears on the u. S. s Albany.
