dent Davis that Mr.. Charles B. Bali of

Ball was Immediately asked to read the
paper. Mr.. Balls remarks were attentive
ly listened to- They dwelt to a great ex-
tent on technical knowledge of plumbing.
During the reading of the paper Mr., Bail

ness, which certain delegates did not have
quite clear In their minds.
At the close of the reading OF the paner

RECLAMATION OF FLATS
TITLE OF UNITED STATES IN AN
AoosrrA RIVER FRONT.

Commissioner Mcfarland who has taken
much interest IN the improvement of the
Anacostfa river front received today a
copy of the opinion OF the Department of
Justice on the title OF the United States IN
the Anaoostta fats, Just prscented to Con
grssa through the Secretary Of War, to-
eethsr with survey and maps prepared
by the War Department. all under the d.
rection Of the District appropriation act OF
July l. 1904 and viii move that In ell ques-
tons relating to the subject the Commits
stoners stand on the position taken by the
Department Of Justice. It is believed that
this will facilitate the reclamation and I'M
provement OF the fats. The Senate has al
ready passed the bill prepared by the Com
missfoners authorizing them to prepare q
comprehensive report on the subject of the
Improvement. and 1t Is hoped that 1t may
soon pass the House.
Briefly the opinion Of the Department Of
Justice recites that:
The title Of the United States to the
premises under consideration Is derived
from the same source and IL of the same
nature as It's title to what known as the
Potomac fats which has been judicially es-
tablfshed. It rests upon the cessiOn made
by the act of the state of Maryland of De-
Congress district ten 10) miles square
in this state" which was accepted by the
act Of Congress approved July 16. 1850,
and the act of March 8, 1791 amendatory
thereof, and was subsequently ratified by
an act of the state of Maryland passed
December 49, 1871
Title Vested In United States.
by this legislation tho United States be-
came invested with the title to the shores
and beds of the navigable waters within
the limits of the territory so coded. en-
bracing the Eastern branch, or Anacestia
river. as 1t was then navigsble. as we'll az
the Potomac river, which title was held by
the United States (as 1t previously was by
the state) In trust for public purposes.
The lands included within the Anaeostta
flats, as shown by the survey, appear to be
either submerged or subject to tidal over
flow by the waters of the Eastern branch
The papers furnish no information as to the
existence of any private claims affecting
these lands. 1t is probable, however, that
claims to riparian rights and wharftng
privileges do exist on the part of owners
of property fronting on the Eastern branch,
and the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company, whose tracks cross the flats In
question, may have claims In connection
with Its right of way upon the same. Sub
ject to the existence and validity or such
claims, If any, the ownership OF all the
land embraced within what is known as the
Anacoslta flats, as indicated by the afore-
said survey, IS vested in the United states
for public purposes. 49,

There are many signs that next

Still another sign of a long and

that they are making them this year

PARTIAL REPORT
ON WATER SUPPLY
Geological Survey Gives In
teresting Facts About Wells
in This County.
INVESTIGATION FINISHED
IN RICHMOND, WELLS SHOULD
BE SUNK IN GRAVEL-EAsT OF
HERE THERE is A GREAT SUP
PLY OF WATER IN ROCK
INVESTIGATION FINISHED

The investigation of the under
county. recently completed by the
photographic Branch of the United
States Geological Survey, has disclos-
ed the reasons why at some points
large amounts of water are obtained
from wells, while at other places no
water is found. Just east of Rich
mond the surface rock is a hard. fine
grained limestone. known to geolo-
gists IS the Niagara Limestone. :
that contains great quantities of wa
ter. At Richmond itself. however.
and several miles to the west, the
surface formation is composed of a
fossil-bearing limestone and shale.
which biologists know as the Rich
mond formation. The fossii-bearine
limestone and shale contains few GREY
ices and little or no water can be OBJ
tanned from them. At Richmond
wells should be sunk in the deep de-
posits of gravel that occur at various
places, as these gravels often contain
a plentiful supply of good water.
The work in Wayne county is part
of comprehensive investigation now
being made of the underground wa
tiers OF Indiana. As soon as practic-
able after the completion of the field
work. a report viii be published by
the Survey, which will contain full in
formation regarding the conditions
affecting the occurrence of under
ground water. This report will be
distributed free of charge
