MORECITY DRlNNNG FOUNTAINS
STEPS BEING TAKEN TO SUPPLY
A PUBLIC NEED.
Commissioners Favorable to Plan,
Although Water to Be Supplied
Will Not Be Cooled.

Steps are to be taken at once by En-
gineer Commissioner Judson to determine
wha: can be done in the way Of provid-
ing drinking fountains in various parts
of the city.
Engineer Commissioner Judson explains
that, while the funds of the water de-
the. installation of drinking fountains
around the city, no steps have been
taken along that line. because only un-
was thought that the filtered water as
it comes from the water mains would
be too warm to drink.
An investigation will be made at once.
Maj. Judson said. to determine if the
few drinking fountains in the parks at
present, which supply uncooled water. are
used If it is found that they are. he
said. then steps will be considered look
ing to the installation of similar fountains
around the city.
Following the suggestion in an editorial
in The Star the matter of drinking foun-
tains was considered by the Commission
,ers individually. Commissioner Macfar-
land expressed himself as being in en-
tire accord with the plan to provide drink
ing fountains.
Il am heartily in favor of providing
opportunities for people in the streets
to drink the filtered Potomac water es-
pecially during the hot weather. Com
missioner Macfarland said. IF the water
department has the means to provide
these drinking places think they should
be opened, even if the water provided
is warm. as would be the case. as we
cannot supply ice. I shall hope to see
1t done this season if this Is practicable
at all with the means at the command of
the water department"
