City and County Getting Together on
the Water Questionable first of series of
meetings between officials of Baltimore city
and Baltimore county for the preparation of
the articles of agreement which are to be in
corporated in the proposed S., 900 900 reservoir
loan bill for the Legislature, was held at the
City Hall on Wednesday afternoon. There
was lengthy discussion as to the amount of
water from the proposed reservoir the city will
agree to allow county people adjacent to the
city and not along the mains of any independ-
emf water company. 1t is stated after the con-
ference that the county authorities were will
ing to concede that the city would have prior
right to the use of all the water. That was
point which caused the most trouble when the
loan bill was before the last Legislature, two
years ago. The representatives of the county
made it clear at the conference however that

water daily in case that much remained over
and above the total quantity required by the
city, or in case the city did not acquire the
plants of the Independent companies.
The city may find it expedent, later ON, to
acquire these plants and in that event the
county people will get their water from this
source. This appeared to be agreeable to all
concerned in the outcome of the meeting.
After discussing one suggestion or another it
was decided to refer the whole matter to City
Solicitor Bruce and Mr.. Osborne l. Yellott,
counsel for the County Com missioners. They
will endeavor to prepare an agreement that
will be acceptable to both the city and county
and submit it to a future meeting.
There are but five points adjacent to Balti-
more city which are without water systems of
their own, namely, Halethorpe, Mount VII
nans Pikesville, Lansdowne and Gardenville
All other villages and sections are supplied by
independent water companies, which shows
that the suburbs around Baltimore are already
well taken care OF so far as drinking water is
concerned. For that reason, it seems, it was
generally agreed at Wednesdays meeting that
the city should first get all the water il needed
from the proposed reservoir or all of the no.
100000 gallons that will be produced daily, If
that much is required Water Engineer Quick
showed that there would probably be about
100000 gallons daily over and above the
city's needs for some years to come. 1t was,
therefore agreed that the county should have
the use of 100000 gallons from the reservoir
daily, in case the city did not acquire the
plants of the independent companies.
Those from the county attending the confer
ence were County Commissioners Manp, Dyer
ly and Mattfeldt, Mr.. Osborne 1. Yellott coun-
sci to the Board Mr.. E. Stanton Bosey, chief
clerk and auditor, and Roads Engineer Shirley.

Let Us Have the Law.-The Belair Demo
cTdt of last week said: 1.-THE anti bribery com.
pact entered into by the Democratic and Re-
publican party authorities at the last election
was strictly observed and the result satisfac-
tory, particularly to the Democrats who scored
the greatest triumph for many years. Each
party had watchers at the polls determined to
prosecute criminally any violation of the law.
This effort shows what can be done by earnest,
honest men and should encourage all members
of the Legislature to pass strict and stringent
corrupt practice act for the State, applicable
alike to all primary and general elections"
