Mr.. Macfarland's View.

Commissioner Mcfarland said:
The Commissioners will, of course give
careful consideration to the statements In
Col. Leachs report, and If upon such con-
sideration it seems necessary to ask for
additional legislation or appropriations they
Will doubtless do so when Congress meets.
Needless to say, they have not been I'M
mindful of the increase in the water con-
sumption. and from time to time they have
brought the facts so far they were known
to the attention of Congress. 1t was upon
their recommendation that Congress made
an appropriation for a meter test of the
national government departments and es-
adjustments, which disclosed the amount of
water used and wasted in them and result
ed in greater economy on their part At the
last session of Congress the facts and state
ments submitted by the Commissioners to
Congress resulted In the adoption of the
following provision in the District appro-
priation bill:
For purchase, installation and mainten-
ance OF water meters, TO be placed in such
private residences may be directed by
the Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, said meters at all times to remain the
property of the water department, five
thousand dollars
This money to be paid. of course, wholly
from the water rents. This follows up for
mer legislation requiring large manufac-
turing and mercantile establishments, no
tells. churches and other institutions to in
stall meters. 1t will enable the Commits
sionerS to ascertain what amount of water
Is being consumed In selected squares In
residence neighborhoods. Personally, 1 do
not believe that the large consumption Is
due TO wastefulness on the part of the
citizens in any greater degree than else
where, and l believe that the result of our
Investigations will show that the waste is
from water mains rather than from water
faucets The subject is of the first iruport-
ance. and will continue to receive the care
full attention of the Commissioners The
suggestion that there should be a duplicate
water conduit from the Great Falls is par
ticularly worthy of special consideration.
