The secretary of the treasury hal
submitted a letter to congress viii
a copy of q communication of the sec,
rotary of war. recommending an ap.
preparation OF SOS, 600 for water sup.
ply at Fort Bayard. n. Nj. A note tc
the letter. signed by J.. B. Aleshire
quartermaster general Of the army
says:
AS q result OF the scarcity Of water
experienced 1T the United States army
general hospital at Fort Bayard
N. NJ, in 1903 and 1904. a water ex-
pert attached to the quartermaster's
department made a thorough study OF
the springs belonging to the
Comanche Gold Mining company and
to Mr.. Stevens, and recommended that
a pipe line should be constructed from
said springs into the post. which ii
was estimated would bring into the
post by gravity about 200, 600 gallons
of water daily. The land upon which
the springs are located has been ac-
CURED recently by the United States
n is now a part of the military
reservation. 1t is believed that from
the proposed increased supply Of
water a considerable quantity will be
available for i%rrigating a tract of good
land situated north of the post and
upon which a sufficient quantity of
lldit0 COuih We idlOtu W supply dil
the needs of the dairy, and Il consid-
cradle saving would ultimately be ef-
fected in the expenditure of fuel for
pumping.
