charge of the Washington water supply
system, has made a report to Gen. Mac
kenzie, chief of engineers, in regard 10 the
condition of the water supplied to the
residents of the District during the month
OF September, in which he says:
The turbidities for the month We're I'M
usually low. At Great Falls the average
| turbidity was 81, which is lower than for
any month since November, 1862 The tur-
biditeS in the several reservoirs We're rela-
lively a little higher than at Great Falls, on
account of the turbid water that remains
stored in them since last month. The
average turbdity of the water in the Dale
carlia (receiving) reservoir was 81; in the
Georgetown reservoir, %: in the Washing
ton City reservoir. %, and in the filtered
water reservoir ..
The bacterial contents of the water in the
several reservoirs We're somewhat lower for
! the month than usual. The average number
OF bacteria per cubic centimeter being 422
for Daecarlia inlet, which represents the
water at Great Falls; 30 at Dalecariia out
let; 1876 at Georgetown reservoir; 133 at
the Washington city reservoir, and IA in

The tests for the colon bacillus were

3Io.WD and 212, $50, coo gallons.
( THE total cost of operations for all labor

WEED LAW is INVALID
RULING BY JUDGE KIMBALL RE-
GARDED AS IMPORTANT.

Judge Kinball has declared unconstitu-
tional the law under which property owners
CT this city are compelled to clean weeds
from their property. The reason announced
by the court is similar to that for declaring
the snow law law unconstitutional-it lacks
the requisite uniformity. he decision was
rendered in the. case of Galen E. Green,
charged with failure to remove weeds from
some vacant lots which he owns. The
case was dismissed.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh noted an ex-
ception to the ruling of the court and will
carry the matter to the Court of Appeals.
The bill CT exceptions was prepared and
signed this morning and will be presented
to the higher court without delay.
Text of the Law.
The law, which was declared institution
al, follows
That it shall be the duty Of the owner
occupant Or agent in charge of any land
in the city of Washington, District of CO.
lumbia, or in the more densely populated
suburbs Of said city to remove from such
land any weeds thereon of four or more
inches in height within seven days, after
notice from the health officer of said Dis
trict so to do, and upon failure to COM
ply with such notice, he she shall, on
conviction thereof, be punished by a. fine
VI NO. more imam @io fOr each day said
notice is not complied with
Sec. THAT whenever there are upon
any unoccupied land aforesaid weeds of
tour or more inches in height and no per-
son can be found in said District who
either is or claims to be the owner thereof
or who either represents or claims to rep
resent such owner as aforesaid, the Com
mlssloners of said District shall give no.
tlce by publication twice a week in one
d2lly neWspap per published in the city of
washington aforesaid, requiring their re-
moVal Said notice shall specify the land
from which such weeds to he removed
the character of the work to be done and
the time allowed for doing the same and
II such weeds are not removed within
the time so specified it shall be the duty
OF SAID Commissioners to cause their re-
HoNal' ana the cost of such removal" etc.
Lacks Requisite Uniformity.
Judge kim5all held that the law lacked the
requisite uniformity because it prescribed
one method of procedure for resident own
ers and another method Of procedure for
nonresident owners, prescribing that the
resident owner shall be charged in the Po-
nee Court and shall be fined if he fails
70 clean UP the weeds; while the non-resi-
gent owner shall have the costs of clean
ing up the weeds assessed against the land
IN the snoW-iaW case u similar procedure
was included in the law separately for
resident and for nonresident owners and
me Court of Appeals declared that law nm
constitutional on the ground of lack of
requisite uniformity
