MILLIONS OF GALLONS SAVED
WATER WASTE IS STOPPED AT
THE NAVY YARD.
District Is in Thousands Of Dollars
Year as Result Of Recent
Investigation.

reduction of o.M5G0O gallons in the
average daily consumption of water at
the navy yard has been accomplished,
as the result of investigations recently
made about the yard by the pitometer
squad of the District water department
At the meter rate at which water is
sold in the District this amount of water
would cost 5000. In a year the saving
would total S29,4l9. As the water does
not cost the District what 1t charges to
individual consumers, the actual saving
to the District is less than that figure.
The investigation which led to the res
duction by half Of the amount of water
used in the navy yard was the subject
of a recent special report made to Supt
w A. Mcfarland Of the water depart
ment by George c. Collins, assistant
pitometer operator: and the report was
today forwarded to Engineer Commis-
sioner Judson.
The report shows that the first tests
made with the use of the pitcmeter
showed that the consumption of water
at the yard was 100000 gallons
as abnormal" After describing the
steps taken to find out in what parts
Of the yard there was the largest con-
sumption of water the report continues:
The hnal record, oDtdined May iS ana
IA, 1909, showed the total consumption
of the yard to be 1858, 600 gallons per
day, a saving OF 2.0l5.000 gallons on the
first records
LAS shown above, the largest part of
this is due to the condenser feed being
closed. but the gas plant. cartridge case
and blacksmith shops. formerly supplied
with city water. are now fed from the
river. so that they. too. aid materially
in reducing the daily consumption
Forwarding the report to the Engi-
neer Commissioner. Svpt Mcfarland de-
clares:
II am particularly gratiied to report
the hearty cooperation of Rear Admiral
Leutze and other officials Of the yard in
securing these results. I would suggest
that the formal thanks of the Commits
sioners be extended to Admiral Leutze
for his cooperation.

for the highly efficient manner in which

Laid on Table,

A sharp contest developed In the House
today over the motion Of Representative

Department for information. gathered
through diplomatic channels, In regard

Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee read letter from AS

exactly would meet the request of the
resolution.
Mr. Hull then offered amendments to
make 1t clear that he desired the reports

Mr. Payne opposed the request, saying
that all members Of the House were priv
ileged to inspect the reports on the same
conditions as those imposed on the een-
Some of the consular agents. Mr.. Payne
said, stated that the information was
received under pledge to regard the in
formation as confidential
'If we ever expect to show our face
to the world and ask for further infor-

A parliamentary dispute as to prece-

Finally Mr.. Payne's motion was held
to be In order. 4 vote was ordered, re-
sulting 102 ayes to 81 noes.
A point OF no quorum was made by Mr..
Hull. Thereupon Mr.. Payne moved to
adjourn until Monday, and another roll
call was ordered.
The motion prevailed. At 1:2f pm. the
House adjourned.
Instead of adjourning Immediately
after coRvening, as has been Its prac-
tice of late, the House today listened to
the reading of President Tafts spec al
message on income tax and the taxation
of corporations which was read In the
Senate yesterday.
A few members applauded when the
secretary of the Senate announced that
that body has passed q bill making Scran,

The measure was not of general i'm

had put a bill through seemed to appeal
to the House.
