SENATE MAY LOOK INTO
PADDING OF PAY ROLL
Perry S. Heath's Name Mentioned
in Connection with Postoflce
Case at Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The state
ment made by Postmaster Warfield. of
Baltimore, that former First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath was re-
sponsible for placing the name of John w.
Petit on the rolls of the Baltimore office,
was discussed to-day at the meeting of the
Senate committee postoftices and post
roads. One of the members Of the COM
mite called attention to the publication
of the statement, and suggested an in
quiry concerning its correctness. Petit S
name has been the roll for six years,
and the government is now seeking TO re-
cover from Postmaster Warfield's bonds
men the amount thus paid, the
claim being made that he never
performed any duties in the Balti-
more Office. From the discussion in
the committee il is apparent that the ques-
ton will come up at a subsequent meet
ing 1t is said that Senator German will
direct an investigation in the interests of
the Baltimore postmaster, who declares
that when he was commanded In letter
from Heath to put Petit on the pay roll
he did so. thinking that Petit may have
been assigned TO some outside employment
of a secret nature.

This is only one of the many reports

ment always, and one jealousy guard
ed by the association, that shares shall
not be issued for a greater number of
acres than there is a complete assur-
ance of water for. AS the supply from
the normal flow of the water courses
grows more precarious, that from the
under ground sources becomes more
important.
1t is of course to be hoped that the
present series of years Of drouth may
be broken before long-but it is a
condition that has happened, and in
any estimate of available supply in
the future it must be counted that that
condition may at some time recur. If
happily il does not continue, aud may
not recur, there will be the gratifying
result of q surplus of water to dispose
OF. The policy, however, of rigidly
limiting the number of shares COM
pletely within the lines of safety will
be adhered to. A surplus is condi-
ton easily and satisfactor ily met. Mr..
Davis stated that after extended and
careful Investigations the government
felt assured that there was available
an underground supply of water for
81, 900 or 10000 acres of land and there
would be power developed by the
works at Tonic sufficient to raise 1t to
the surface for use. 1t is these facts
that have rendered the power Of the
canal and the development of the un-
foreground supply of so much greater
Importance than it was in the con-
sideratlon of the earlier plans for the
works.
Mr.. Davis stated that the works
would cost not more than $780, 900.
He seemed disposed to lessen his esti-
mate of a year or more ago of the
extent of lands that might be irrigated
from all sources that is from the ma
tural flow, he impounded water.
the gain due to regulation of the flow.
and the subterranean supply. 1t had
been estimated tentatively that 1885,
900 acres at least might be supplied
from the natural flow and the i'm
pounded water, and it is now estimat-
ed that $4,000 or 10000 acres may he
! irrigated with the subterranean sup
ply. Mr.. Davis seems to think now
that there is more dependence to he
placed on the estimate of the under
ground supply than on that from the
rivers because of the protracted con-
dition of drouth.
| From the figures given by Mr.. Davis
the following conservative deductions
are to be drawn:
The estimated cost being $1,000, 000
| If. 100000 acres can be irrigated the
cost per acre for construction would
| be SIS. If the estimates of acreage &c
be supplied however has, if the pres
ent drOuth continues, to be reduced
to 10000 the cost will, be 5000 pei
acre; and if there should be necessary
a still further reduction of acreage
say to 10000 the cost per acre will be
s24.O0.
However, Mr.. Davis rather encour.
agingly adds, it is not likely that any
such reductions of the estimates will
be necessary. He said at is only
mentioned to show the most extreme
conditions possible

NETTING OF GOVERNORS
Mr.. Davis Makes Conservative Esti-
mates for Extreme Conditions.

There was a meeting yesterday fore
noon of the board of directors of the
Water Users Association, the specinc
purpose of the meeting being to can
vass the returns from the election held
April 5th for the selection of officers
of the association, and members of the
council and board of governors. Inc
canvass showed some slight errors in
the number of votes published as haV-
ing been cast for certain candidates,
but nothing of sufficient Importance
to change results in any case.
Another matter which was attended
to, was the appointment of Inspectors
and judges, and the announcement OF
polling places for the election to be
held on May 10th for the ratification
of the contract between the govern
ment and the Water Users Association.
There was considerable discussion on
the importance of a full vote at this
election. for by the interest taken in
it the government will very largely
measure the interest of the people in
it's efforts for the storage of irrigation
water at the Tonic site.
There seems to be no opposition to
the ratification of the contract, and
the voters to consider their votes UNI
necessary to what seems the mere
perfunctory increase of votes. 1t was
the sense of the governors that the
voters of the association should turn
out as nearly unanimous as possible
so that a large vote may emphasize
the appreciation of the people for what
the government has done and is pro-
posing TO do.
Mr.. A. p. Davis, the engineer in
charge, met with the board and made
some very interesting statements OF
the progress of the work, the follow
ing being submitted as an official re-
port of his remarks:-
He pointed out the Importance OF the
power canal, the construction of which
is divided into three sections. The
contracts for two of these sections
have been awarded-that of the exca-
walton and that Of the tunnels.
Mr.. Davis said that the extended
drouth was an unlocked for condition
and one that had to be taken into con-
sideration in the plans OF the govern
ment. If this condition should be q
continued one it's direct result will di-
minish the number of acres for which
shares can be issued. 1t has already
emphasized the Importance of the de-
velopment of the under ground sup
ply.
1t has been the policy Of the govern
