Parks and Reservations.

1dTkS anu RESERVATIONS.
The committee reported that during the
year just passed the work of opening UP
the natural beauties of Rock Creek Park
to the people has progressed In a satisfac-
tory manner and that now, with the re-
cent completion of Blagden avenue along
the east side of the creek just below the
mouth of Broad branch, the opening and
completion of Ross driveway to Military
road and the finishing touches put on some
of the other roads and footpaths and
bride paths, the lower portion of the park
as far north as Military road IS readily ac-
cessible to pedestrians. horseback riders and
those who go in carriages and automo-
bies.
A new bridge has been constructed at the
upper end of the park, directly from ma
terial taken from the Blagden Mills bridge
which has. been done away with.
The parks and reservations within the
limits of the city proper have been well
cared for during the year. The river side
of the Mall has been greatly improved by
the extension of the driveway around the
west side of the ponds and down to the
vicinity of the Long bridge
The fine collection OF trees in the grounds
of the Department of Agriculture have
been neatly and effectively marked with
common and technical names, and are now
open to the use of the schools and to all
students of tree botany. 1t is understood
that the commissioner of public buildings

reservations In his charge and Is only

Local Water Supply.

There are some facts, however In regard
to our water supply that should be bet
ter known than they are, and will bear
repetition.
list. Our present distributing capacity
Is 100000 gallons daily; and this also is
the capacity of the filtration plant
I'D. II more than this quantity of water
Is forced through the mains 1t will result in
an impairment of the efficiency OF the Ultra
ton. as IL cannot clean properly more than
100000 gallons each day.
sd. The present daily consumption, In
Guiding waste, may be put down at 65OOO.-
coo gallons, and at the present rate Of in
crease will soon reach the maximum guam
tity. At this point we will be. met once
more with the problem of increasing the
means OF supply, or decreasing the con-
sumption or waste.
your committee has always advocated an
abundant supply of water, and has urged
upon the committees OF Congress the an
preparation of 5000 to make necessary sur
veys for new conduit, which for some
years has been asked by the War Depart
ment Thus far Congress has refused the
appropriation. This Is much to be regretted
as there Is none too much time now to
make the necessary preparation for an In
creased water supply. OF course, this
means increased expenditures, both as to
construction Of conduit and cost of increas-
ed filtration plant, but the comfort and
health of a rapidly increasing population
require this or will in the near future
Congress may defer the consideration Of
be evaded In justice to this community.
THE District, however, is to be con-
graduated on the present supply. which is
abundant, and as pure as filtration on a
large scale can make X.

A scheme is said to be on foot
among the Bourbons to bring
out a colored man, give him a
weakhearted support until cleo
ton day and then throw him,
their intention, of course, being
to defect as many colored votes
as possible from the Republican
nominee. But the scheme will
not work-no colored man will
give assistance to the enemy in
any such a nefarious scheme.
The colored man will get his re-
cognitiOn through legitimate
Republican channels, and with.
out the aid of Bourbon Chica-
uery. lack Foreman, whom
the Bourbons are trying to get
to make an independent race, is
too thorough a Republican, and
too influential a citizen to become
party to such a piece of nafar
ious work, and he will never al
low his name to be juggled with
by the enemies of his party and
his race, of which he is a nota
bic example in both instances.
