Lock Raven and It's Water supply
A condition which faced the 275 900 inhabitants
in Baltimore In 1870 faces the 600, 1000 people
in this city to-day, says the Baltimore San.
The water supply was not sufhclent Tor the
immediate future then, and the same situation
is presented now. There was opposition from
Baltimore county, just as it prevails at the
present Legislature.
The great difference between the condition of
the two periods is that more water is consumed
now than IS years ago. Because OF this TACT
the need of greater supply is more urgent. :.
In 1870 the water consumption averaged
100000 900 gallons a day. The per capita con-
sumption was about SO gallons day.
In 1905 the average consumption OF water
was "a, 600, 600 gallons day. The per capita
consumption was about 106 gallons day.
consum ption has increased 81, 600. 600 gallons a
day, an average yearly increase of about ], $780,
600 gallons day. Inc per capita Consumption
increased in this period 70 gallons day, or an
average of two gallons each year. :,
With per capita consumption OF 80 gaiions
a-day in 1870 the Loeb Raven reservoir 10 noio
500, 900, 900 gallons of water was projected.
With per capita consumption OF lO6 gallons
day in 1905 new reservoir, to bold 10000
900. 600 gallons of water, Is proposed.
The predominant feature is that wnlie tne
population has been more tnan oouDieo ana
the per capita consumption treoied me CITY
officials, in order to take care OF douole the
present population, desire to build reservoir
fifty times larger than Loeb Raven. such
supply would be equal to population OF
1000 900 and the computed increase OF the per
capita consumption.
s-
s. w. Lippincott, of Ruxton, writes as follows
to the Baltimore News.: When referring in q
recent issue of your paper, to the draft of the
bill intending to impose tax upon dogs
which has been placed before the Legislature
stated that a probable source of real objection
would be the owners of packs of dogs.
: II beg to say in this connection that when
z similar law was being mooted preparatory to
drafting and sending it to the last Legislature
the master of hounds of one of the local fox
and expressed himself as favorable to such a
law because of its tendency to protect the packs
from rabid dogs.
ut would likewise seem probable that every
reasonable owner of q dog, and of live stock
generally for that matter, would welcome this
bill for the same reason.
"During the present winter several mad
dogs have traversed this neighborhood and
bitten various other animals Just when and
where the dreadful results will appear it is i'm
possible to fortell; but surely it is o most
reasonable request to make of the Legislature.
whether the motive be the protection of game
or life and limb, that it afford some protection
cnrs. as well as from the more fortunate dogs
whose owners exercise no control over them
and which peacefully inclined neighbors must
Tolerate because existing laws favor the dogs
