The Old Vauxhall Gardens.

From the New York Sun.
Along about 1900 that part of the old
Stuyvesant village that is now bounded on
the west and east by Broadway and Coop
er Square between 4th street and Aston
place, was known as the Vauxhall Gar
dens where the beaus and bellies of that
day strolled among the flowers and bow
ers arranged pfcturesquely near the sum
rner houses. which in great numbers We're
scattered all over the grounds"
When, in 1907, the cross streets above
Houston street were laid out, the VauXhan
was so popular a place of resort for the
people of the city that lay south of that
thoroughfare that it was left undisturbed
and to this day there is no east-bound thor
oughfare from Broadway between 4th and
Sth streets; a circumstance greatly to the
Inconvenience of large numbers OF people
who are now obliged to travel around this
the longest block in the city.
In 1897 Lafayette place was cut through
the Vauxhau Gardens parallel with Broad
way but the present need of cross streets
was not then foreseen. 1t is more than
fifty years since the gardens became but a
tradition, but people are still walking half
a mile around a city square that should be
a matter OF 500 feet.
The site of the "OId London Street" lies
vacant, and alley beside the Astor Ii
brary runs halfway through from Lafay-
cite place to Cooper Square. The purpose
of this communication is to ask why, in the
interest of the public convenience, at least
one street should not be extended across
between 4th and Sth streets, when on either
side of Broadway and Cooper Square there
are at present three cross streets.

Scheme of Filtration.

The scheme of filtration by the natural or
sand process as carried out in the District
plant provides for the construction of
number of underground chambers to be
known as filter beds, which would be sup
piled with sufficient quantity of sand to
thoroughly cleanse the water that should
be introduced into them. According to the
estimates made for the District plant pro-
vision was made for twenty nine such beds,
each a scant acre in extent and each to
have a normal capacity of 100000 gallons
per day 1t should be remembered that
the capacity thus given is the normal run
ming conditions. The beds could be pushed
to filter between $4,000 and 100000 gal
Ions per day each, but there could not be
a guarantee that after the plant had been
running freely year or so that this capac-
ity could be maintained and pure water
result. The water that would be dis
charged, experts say, would be partly pure,
but it was not possible that it could be alb
solutely pure. At any rate, 1t is argued,
it would be a vast improvement over the
kind of water that is furnished now, as far
as looks and appearances go.
1t was intended that but twenty-five of
the beds should be in operation, the allow
ance of four extra beds being made in or
der that each bed might be cleansed a fire.

LOCAL WATER SUPPLY
Some Facts Gathered by The
Evening Star.
HOW SERVICE WORKS
GOVERNMENT OWNS AND CON-
Trolls THE SUPPLY.
Regulation Of Consumption Lies with
the District-Scheme Of Filtra-
tion-What Can Be Done.

In the discussions of the water supply of
the District that have occupied prominent
places In the local newspapers during the
past few days the statements that are made
have generally come, it is conceded, from
one or another OF the officials whose duty 1t
is to preserve the integrity Of the supply
and make what water Is sent through the
pipes go as far as possible toward filling
the needs of the people of the District. Just
how the supply is obtained or how it is
possible that there should be an enormous
waste of water. does not seem to have en-
tered into any Of the discussions, 1t has
been stated. The Star has endeavored to
discover where there is fault in the service
If any, and has become possessed of a num-
Der of interesting facts that would seem to
have some bearing on the present contro-
versy If such 1t might be called between
the District Commissioners and the engi-
neer officers in charge of the aQueduct
1t is pretty well known to citizens of the
District that their water supply is owned
by the United States government solely.
Government officers have charge of the col
lection of the supply and its delivery to
the District authorities through the water
mains that supply the residences and places
of business. Up to that point the author
ity of the United States is supreme. But
beyond that the general government has
authority whatsoever it is declared and
the business of regulating the consumption
lies with the District officials entirely. To
obtain the water the District pays half of
the expense of main tanning the system and
the aqueduct. The water that has been
delivered to the District for many years
has been, at times. dirty of color and I'M
pleasant to look upon. Sometimes 1t would
be fairly clear, at others foul with mud
and. presumably, thoroughly charged with
disease germs. Analyses of District water
at all stages. however, show - 20 average
a fair degree of purity when compared
With that supplied in other cities, but the
recurrence of typhoid fever and other germ
diseases in the city and country and the
tracing of the origin of some of the cases
to impure Potomac water led, 1t will De
remembered, to an agitation for the estab-
lishment of a filtra ton plant that would
purify the water before IL was delivered to
the consumers. After much discussion OF
the various processes the natural or sand
filtration scheme was adopted and money
was supplied by Congress for the con-
struction of a filtration plant. Careful estl-
mate was made of the consumption OF
water In the District; account was taken OF
the proba BILE increase of population, OF the
waste of water, etc, and specifications were
prepared for the construction of plant
that would have a capacity of Io,0Oo,ooO
gallons per day.
