THE NEW FILTRATION PLANT.

per day. There are three different con-
tractors working on the plant. One has
charge of the excavations and concrete
work. another lays the water mains, and
still another prepares the ffltering material
in the filter beds. At present there are
ten filter beds completed as to the excava-
tons and concrete work and are supplied
with the necessary mains. In several of
these beds the sand and crushed stone
through which the water will be filtered
has been put In place.
The filtered water reservoir is finished
as to the excavations and interior work
and Is one-third covered. This part of the
work will be completed within month.
Within six weeks five more filter beds will
be completed and ready for the filtration
material. This will leave nine other beds
of the. number expected to be finished by
January 1. 1t is believed by the contrac-
tors that they will have the fifteen beds re-
ferred to ready for operation, as far as the
water mains, excavations and concrete
work are concerned, by the middle of De-
cember and that the nine remaining beds
will be finished up to the same point by
January 1. In the first number is in
Guided the ten beds that are already fin
ished.
Progress During Summer.
Great progress was made on the work
at the plant during the past summer. De-
spite the many setbacks to which the con-
tractors have been subjected the work has
progressed steadily. The full capacity of
the plant will be, when finished. 10000, 900
gallons per day and the estimated consump-
ton in the District at present is 60OO0 900
gallons. The plant includes twenty-nine
filtration beds and a filtered water reser-
voir for storage. 1t is proposed to use
twenty-five beds at all times and to main
tain four extra beds for emergencies.
Each bed covers an acre of ground and
has a filtering power of 3000.0O0 gallons
per day. Water IS pumped into the beds
direct from the reservoir to the west of
the plant, through heavy mains laid in the
alleys between the lines of beds The fill
tratiOn material is sand and crushed stone.
The stone is placed on the floor of the
bed about a foot and a half deep. On top
of this is placed fine sand to a depth of
four feet and the flow of water is so regu-

CUPID MEETS DEFEAT.
Father Of Virginia Lass Opposes Her
Marriage

Miss Lee Stovall and Mr.. William ]. Pull
liam came here this morning on train
from Orange Va, with the intention of get
ting married but a message from the girls
father stated that he objected to the mar
rage because his daughter is only seven
teen years old. The message was received
at police headquarters in time to prevent
the issuance of the license and Pulliam and
Miss Stovall were taken into custody 1t
was not until the young man had declared
to one of the clerks that the young lady
was twenty years old that Detective Nc
Nance placed him under arrest His dollar
fee for the license had been parted with
and this was returned to him.
where is Miss StovaH?' the detectives
asked the young man.
she's around at the preachers house."
he said, land I'm going there In a few
minutes to get her."
But he did not go. He was accompan MED

Acting Captain Carter. Then the detective
went to the house of a minister on 9th
street and found the young lady, who will

quarters.
How old did you tell me you were?"
Pulliam asked Miss StovaH
twenty years., she promptly responded.
And now you have got me in trouble
again.
How old are you, Miss stovaIl?" the
police official asked.
Il was seventeen yesterday"
Puilfam, whose age was given as twenty
nVe years, was anxious to send for his
mother, as he was afraid the police might
hold him and cause him trouble. He WAS
persuaded. however, that it would be better
for him to wait until the arrival of NJ.

the advice.

man, for We have always been friends"
Augustus Stovall, the girls father lives
at finders. twelve miles from Orange.
When he missed his daughter this morning
and learned that she had come here with
a man, he sent the message to the police

a stranger. 1t developed that Pulliam had
known Miss Stovall several years and that
he was not stranger at the Stoval house.
He said he called on the Stovalls Sunday
and had a long talk with the girls athnr
He said nothing about getting his consent
to their marriage. however, and his leaving
there with the daughter was in the nature
of surprise. Pulliam works at a mill net
far from finders and says he has done
some work for Mr.. Stovall. He did not
seem very much disturbed over his disap-
peintment, but did fear trouble on a count
of his having given the wrong age of Miss
Stovall. a.

CLEAR WATER SUPPLY
Statement as to Work On the
Big Filtration Plant.
MANY BEDS COMPLETED
PART OF PLANT TO BE OPERATED
BY JANUARY 1.
Constructors Are Working Under Two
Contracts, One Of Which Does Not
Expire Till September, 1905.


There has been much conjecture OF ia'e
as to the exact time when the nltrauoh
plant at the head of North Capitol street
will be finished and clear water supplied 70
the citizens of the District. The company
which has charge of the construction OF
the filtration beds is working under two
contracts According to the terms OF these
contracts a part of the plant is to be IN
readiness for work January 1. but the re-
naming portion is not to be finished. and
it is said, at no time was it expected 1t
would be completed before September 1.
1905
In January, it isaexpected. enough Of the
plant will have been finished to supply fill
tered water to about two-thirds of the full
thereafter. probably by spring, a sufficient
number of filter beds will be completed to
run the full capacity of 75.0O0.0OO gallons

lated that there will be four feet of water
in the beds at all times.
The new plant will give what is known
as natural filtration, so called because no
chemicals or other agencies outside of the
natural flow of water through fine sand
are used. 1t is a well-known natural law
that water flowing through sand will be
cleansed Of all sediment, and this law Is
simply applied to the filtration of water on
large scale. A constant flow of water Is
maintained into these filtration beds just
as the spring constantly wells up through
the ground and flows through rock and
sand to the surface The natural spring
finds its own outlet In streams and rivers
and in the filtration plant the water is
taken off in heavy mains laid in the floor
of the filter beds. 1t flows direct into a
large tank or reservoir called the filtered
water reservoir, to distinguish 1t from
other reservoirs. This tank has capacity
of 20.0O0,000 gallons and is kept full The
plant must work steadily to keep this tank
full, as the water is being drawn from 1t
constantly by pumping and forced through
the regular mains to every section of the
city.
Keeping Tab on the Workers.
The completion of ten beds and the con-
struction of the filtered water reservoir oc-
cupied the attention of the contractors this
summer At present they working at
four points to finish up the fourteen beds
that are to be completed by January 1.
In working out great engineering problems
there are many details to be carefully
watched and which keep the man in charge
of the work busy all the time. Gangs of
men are employed on such work the con-
struction of the filtration plant twenty four
hours in the day and by ordinary methods
1t would be impossible for the chief en-
gineer to keep in constant touch with all
of his men. 1t is absolutely necessary that
he should know just what Is being done
and what each gang of men he has with
him is doing. and many ingenious devices
are used by constructing engineers to main
tain their close watch on things.
49, One of the most unique and yet one of
the simplest schemes for keeping at all
times In touch With the various gangs or
men employed has been adopted by the con-
tractors having in charge the filtration
plant A blackboard about four feet square

has been erected in the office of the CHIEF
engineer and on this board has been out
lined in white paint the plan of the filtra-
ton plant without detail Each filter bed
is shown. with the filtered water reservoir.
in Its proper proportions In every part of
the plan are small holes into which fit
little pegs having fiat heads. The heads
of the pegs different colors and repre-
sent the different gangs of men. A green
peg stands for the day concrete workmen
and pink peg represents tie night con-
crete workmen: the men engaged in the ex-
cavations are represented by orange pegSs
the carpenters have white and the general
utility men, or bull gangs. have yellow
pegs.
Divided Into Gangs.
The force of workmen Is divided Into
gangs for the various classes of work and
these gangs subdivided. each subdi-
vision being under the direction of a fore
man who has a number. On the lower
right-hand corner of the blackboard is
roster with the name of every foreman OF
every gang and his number. Each of the
.colored pegs has number corresponding
to the numbers of the foremen of the gangs
doing the class of work represented by the
colors. Each morning the ttmekeeper at the
works receives reports of those present and
enters these reports In his book
He Is also informed as to what portion
of the works the men employed and
then he goes to the blackboard. and. taking
the pegs arranges them in the holes placed
about the plan of the works. according to
where the foremen they represent are work.
ing Thus on yesterday Foreman Jones.
No. 1, on the blackboard. was working In
alley beside filter bed No %, and his To-
cation was shown on the board at that
place. In addition to the pegs for the
foremen the board also has pegs of blue.
representing the derricks and cableways
and the location of each can be marked on
the plan with very little trouble at any
time of the day. All the chief engineer has
to do to obtain Information to what his
men doing. therefore. is to look at the
board. He knows what excavations are go
ing on in general way and what has been
done. so that IL he finds an excavation gang
at work on filter bed No. 10 at this time
he knows they are filling up the roof Of
the bed with earth to level off the top OF
the beds.
