partment any such amount. AS A matter
Of fact, but 1915 was expended in tn.
work. Mr.. Mcfarland gave an account
of the examination made of the water
supply in the United States navy yard.
At the beginning of the investigation the
flow to the yard was 1851 600 gallons
day. the night rate, after closing All
shops. being 2.319,ND. At the completion
OF the work the mean rate had been re-
duced TO 1.61IG0 gallons per day, or ~
per cent. and this. too. in the face of the
fact that the yard was operating during
longer hours than when the work was be-
gun.
Speaking of purely residential sections.
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that with compare
lively new mains. services and plumbing
the night rate-a measure of waste-be-
fore metering. frequently was 30 per cent
and more of the mean rate for the whole
twenty-four hours. and during cold
weather the night rate sometimes eH-
ceeded the day rate This condition can
only be remedied by the general introduce
ton of meters.
There is a curious notion. asserted
Mr.. Mcfarland. entertained by a certain
class of people that in wasting water
they are in some way doing the gov
eminent. OF course. in a department
such as that in Washington. where all
income is spent in maintenance and bet
torment of the plant they are only do
ing themselves and their neghbors. An
other class comes along with the water
should be as free as air notion. j sup
pose they mean by this that the expense
of furnishing water should be borne by
general taxation. and the use and waste
OF water be unrestricted Our experience
with consumers on the free list indicates
that If this were done at least one addi-
tional conduit from Great Falls would he
needed at once. and that the filtration
plant would have TO be duplicated.

Foul Water Tanks.

The commissioner of health would do
well to investigate the condition of the
water supply in particular buildings, says
the Real Estate News of Chicago. There
are several sources of danger in connec-
ton with the water storage tanks which
are erected on the roofs of hundreds of
buildings throughout the city. Many OF
these tanks are imperfectly covered so
that dirt and filth of all kinds get into
the drinking water. Worse still. as the
water supply is usually drawn through
an orifice some inches above the bottom
of the tank, the sediment remains undis-
turbed for years at a stretch. The same
argument holds against the tanks so
commonly attached to ordinary kitchen
ranges. The water enters from the top
ard flows out about a foot above the bot

All of these buildings, with one excep-
