to the sphere too long. One Of their
good plays was a double from third

Members OF the Levy Court Tuesday
discussed the construction of new bridge
across the Appoquininiink river, and it is
expected that plans will be ordered and
proposals will be asked for at the meeting
on Tuesday next. The new bridge is
necessitated because of the government
making change in the course OF the Ap-
poquinimink river which will also change
the course of new roadway, leading to the
bridge.
The government las dredges at work
making the new course for the river, and
the plans for the bridge vii! have to be
approved by the government before the
structure is built.

mon are at odds over who shall have su-
peryision OF the new bridge. The loca-
tion Of the new bridge is now wholly in

bridge is partly in Appoquirimink hun
dred and partly in St. Georges, but Mr..

other commissioners. He expresses the
opinion that he still should follow custom
and have charge of the bridge. Mr. Sal
mon does not agree with him

AS AN EXPERIMENT,
Installation of Water Meters in
Private Residences.

The first installation of water meters in
private residences in the District will be
made in the houses of each of the three
District Commissioners. The last Congress
appropriated 5000 for the installation of
water meters in private residences as an
experiment to ascertain whether or not the
plan is advisable. In the past the owners
of residences have been required to install
meters at their own expense, and consider
able objection has been raised to the re-
quirement, the cost of installing each meter
being about s15.
The water department will carry out the
provisions of the last appropriation act re-
lating to meters, and will eXpend the s., 900
in placing meters in residences in various
parts of the city, beginning with the houses
of the three District Commissioners
1t has been estimated that the average
daily consumption of water per capita in
Washington is 200 gallons. This includes
all the water used by residents. government
buildings, manufacturing establishments,
the street cleaning department, fountains,
etc 1t Is believed that the use of water
meters, whereby consumers will pay for the
exact amount of water used, will greatly
lessen the waste Of the city water supply.

obliged to give up the proposed presenta-

been compelled to make a complete change
in its plans. The society has been at work
for some months on the Dream of Geron-
thus and had engaged the soloists requi-
site for the work at the same time when
the orchestra was engaged.
1t has been decided to give in lieu of this
single work a number of interesting sacred
choruses and the society has now for sew
eral weeks been engaged in rehearsing
these.
