DELAY IN IMPROVEMENT
TO LOCAL WATER SYSTEM
|CoI. Langfitt to Begin Work
Next March on Sedimen-

Because Congress appropriated only

preliminary treatment of the water
served to the people Of the District Of
Columbia, Col Langfitt, the engineer Of
ficer in charge OF the water supply sys-
tenn. reports that he will not begin opera
tions under that appropriation before
March next The project involves the re-
construction of part of the Georgetown
or distributing reservoir so as to adapt
1t to the purposes Of a sedimentatiOn
basin for the water from Great Falls
after coagulation at the preliminary
treatment plant at the dalecarlia or re-
ceiving reservoir. The sedimentation
ba sin will be constructed so that the mud
settled out of the water in the basin

Estimate Of the Cost.
It was estimated that this work would
cost $1OsOOO. Congress appropriated $5O,-
600 for it in the District of Columbia ap-
preparation act for the current year. Col.
Langftt says that only a portion of the
necessary work can be done with the
funds available but that they will be ex-
pended SO that a partial benefit of sedi-
mentation may be derived. The work Of
reconstructing the Georgetown reservoir,
he says, will begin about March 1 next
The delay, he says. is on account of the
necessity of having all the storage pos
sible available to meet the excessive de-
mandS for water in the District during
the coming winter months. He says fur
ther that he is putting OF active con-
struction operations in order that the
work may be continued to completion in

LAD ATTACKED BY CAT
HERE FOR TREATMENT
Pasteur Precautions Against
Rabies Taken With Little
i William Core.

With his right hand and foot badly lac.
Grated, the result Of an attack by a cal
at his home at Fairfax. Va, Sunday. VIII
liam Core, eight years Of age was brought
today to the hygenic laboratory of the
public health and marine hospital service
for the Pasteur treatment.
About the same time the experts at the
bureau Of animal industry finished the
examination Of the cats head, and an.
nounced that they had found the LESSONS
teur treatment was what the lad should
have at once.
While playing on the porch of the Core
residence at Fairfax, Saturday evening
the cat. which was family pet, frs,
sprang at the boy in a strange manner
but beyond driving the feline into the
yard little was thought of the matter by
the members of the family. Early Sunda,
morning the lad and his father, John T
Core, started down the path which leads
to the barn. After they had progressed
about twenty feet they saw the ca,
crouched several feet away in the grass
in the attitude for spring.
Bites and Claws Lads Leg.
Hardly had the feline been noticed be-
IOTe tne gray ana white body of fur Camv
flying straight through space at the child
In a flash its teeth had been sunk In
the lads right heel. At the same tims
the animal was lacerating the foot with
her claws.
The father struck at the cat and she
bounded away, but in second had at
tackled the child again, fastening its teeth
in the little fellows right hand. Mr.
Core struck at the cat again and II
bounded away into the grass as in the
first instance.
Thoroughly aroused. Mr.. Core gathered
the child In his arms and started back
to the house at double quick. Turning
the child over to Its mother, he quickly
seized rife and returned to the yard
Here the cat was again crouched for q
spring. but a well directed shot killed it.
DR.. Howard Fletcher was summoned al
once and after treating the boys in
juries declared that Mr.. Core should take
the animals head to the bureau Of an
imal industry SO that the experts could
make an examination for the LESSONS OF
rabies. He also advised that the parent
secure the PaSteur treatment for the lit
tie fellow at once.
Mr.. Core cannot account for the cat
having rabies unless 1t was bitten by
some stray dog suffering with the NAL
ady. 1t had been a pet of the family
for several years and had always been
especially gentle.
