Thinks the Gunpowder Lake Will be
q Mistake,-In discussing the new Gunpow-
der lake the weekly Circular issued by the
Baltimore banking house of Messrs. HANDLE
ton & Co., says:
1--WE have always commended that to build q
great reservoir in the bed of the Gunpowder
river will be fatal mistake We have been
studying and writing on the subject OF Balti-
mores water supply for many years, We are
familiar with the surroundings of the water
shed. We have called attention over and over
again to the fact that Loeb Raven has been
filled M by silt and debris which flows down
at every freshet until more than half of its
holding capacity has been obliterated. we
are strongly of the opinion that the same result
would obtain if this great reservoir is to be
built, as is Loeb Raven. in the bed OF the e
stream. We presume, of course, that II II
should be determined that it is not necessary
for the city to acquire the Warren plant that
this would settle at once the controversy pc,
tween the city and the Warren people: Before
snvthinc is done the whole subject should be
submitted to the expert engineers, whom the
city has now engaged"
