Gunpowder Holding Out Well.-Eng-
neers who have lately visited the Gunpowder
river in connection with plans for the pro-
posed 100000 reservoir, expressed surprise
that the stream should keep up so well in the
absence of rains. Water Engineer Quick says
that despite the drought there is more than
enough water to meet the daily demands on
the reservoirs, due principally to the splendid
flow of the Gunpowder. He calls attention to
the fact that there has not been a rain worth
speaking of since the early part of October. 81
don't know what is keeping the Gunpowder up
so WE'LL" Mr.. Quick declared, unless the
springs which feed the river and the ground
water that flows into it are doing it, We have
been watching the supply for several weeks
and engineers who have inspected it are amazed
at its condition"
