CHANGES ARE BRIGHT
BELIEF THAT CONGRESS WILL
PROVIDE JAMESTOWN BUILDING.

The Commissioners have been assured by
Chairman Gallinger of the District commit
tee Of the Senate and Chairman Babcock
of the District committee of the House that
the bill submitted to them several days
ago, providing for an appropriation Of
$25. 200 for the erection and maintenance
of District of Columbia building at the
jamestown exposition, will have early
consideration and that Its chances are at
present very bright.
In offering this bill to Congress the Com
missioners pointed out that District of
Columbia building at Jamestown will Illus
trate the progress and prospects Of the ma
tional capital. Accompanying the draft Of
the bill was a letter setting forth briefly the
argument for 1t, which the Commissioners
had already presented to the chairmen of
the two committees, and which they will
follow up in further conferences with MEM
bers of the committees. Mr.. Mcfarland
said: 1T seems very likely that this legisla-
ton and the small appropriation will be
passed. The obvious propriety Of it is rec
ogniZed by every one to whom the PROPOSE
ton has been presented. If it were not de-
sirable to present some municipal exhibit
and, of course, that is the chief reason for
the proposition-it would be manifestly de-
sirable to provide place of rest and COM
fort for the thousands of Washingtonians
who will go to the exposition
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-11
MOVE FOR TRANSFER
DISTRICT TO HAVE SOLE CON-
Troll OF WATER SYSTEM.

The Commissioners forwarded the draft
of a bill to Congress this morning provid-
ing for the transfer of jurisdiction over the
Washington aqueduct, the filtration plant
and appurtenances from the chief of en-
gineers of the United States army to the
Commissioners of the District Of Columbia.
This transfer Is not only desired by the
Commissioners but has been recommended
by the chief of engineers of the War De-
partment for several years past 1t has
been heretofore pointed out that transfer
should not be made until the completion Of
the filtration plant, and now that the latter
has been finished and is In active opera
ton the Commissioners and the chief OF
engineers are Of the opinion that the trans
fer should be made this year.
The Commissioners, in advocating this
legislation, contend that considerable econ
omy would result in the administration Of
the aqueduct and the filtration plant, as a
number of employees now necessarily dupli-
Gated on account of the division of the work
between the District and the government
could be dropped. They also contend that
the service would be more satisfactory.
According to the present arrangement
the dam at Great Falls the aqueduct and
reservoir along the route, the filtration
plant and a portion of the trunk mains are
under the control of the War Department,
and the high service reservoirs, the pump
ing station, the greater part of the trunk
mains and all the distribution system are
under the Commissioners.
