"EALL OF ANCIENTS" SOLD.
New York Avenue Property Again
Changes Hands.

The property known as the Hall Of the
Ancients.' premises 1916 New York ave-
nue., has again changed ownership. Ne
gotiations pending for several months
have eliminated in the transfer of title to
the +. II. Smith Company, real estate
brokers. The deed was filed yesterday.
Rumor has indicated that the Washing
ton. Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad
Company has been desirous of acquiring
this property for it's Washington terminal
and offices. The +. II. Smith Company
will neither confirm nor deny the report
that II has made the purchase as the
agents of the corporation. but say some
statement may be made at a later time.
The general Offices Of the railroad are in
Baltimore The local officers declare they
have no knowledge of the transaction. nor
could any one be located in Baltimore to-
day who would discuss the matter.
The title was transferred from StOne &
Fairfax real estate brokers, and Harry
Wardman, builder. The structure on the
site is now occupied as a garage. The
selling price is said to have been $164, 900,
Welding a profit of more than 100000 on
the price for which il was acquired by the
present sellers.
The building is Of brick and reinforced
concrete. 1t has frontage of approx
mately lOS feet on New York avenue. with
a depth of 49, feet.

Additional Water Supply.

Now there is a further thing which
enters into this. This present plan also
provides that there shall be diverted into
the aqueduct an additional quantity OF
water to be consumed through the water
works department of the city.
The added flow for the purpose will be
about 100 cubic feet per second so that
this plant will obviate the necessity of
extending the water works department
within the next few years and that alone
would cost, it is estimated, about $1,000,
Co.,
IF this is done and the water supply is
increased asked Representative Sims of
Tennessee. Twill it be necessary to put
water meters i'm private houses?"
That would be purely a matter of
policy replied Mr.. Cox. There would
be no necessity for it."
1T is now commended" continued Mr..
Sims. that it is necessary so to
economiZe on the water supply to the
end that the present facilities may
furnish sufficient amount With these
large facilities, / take it there will be
no need to put meters III private
houses"
This would give an almost unlimited
water supply to the city OF Washine-
ton.' said Mr.. Cox.
II hope it WILL saiu Mr. Sims.
Mr.. Cox directed attention to the fact
that the United States government owns
s4O5 acres of ground Immediately ad-
jacent to the Great Falls dam. In view
of this, he thought the government would
not have to buy any additional ground
to carry out the project.
The debate continued, after Mr.. Cox
had finished his explanation, until MEM
bers had talked themselves out and all
objections had been withdrawn. Greatly
to the satisfaction of the appropriations
committee the power project item was
left in the bill.

Mr.. Burleson made a brief statement to
the House on the paragraph in which he
said that the District of Columbia now
has the best and cheapest water system
in the United States. if not in the world.
THE lighting system, however, is not
so advantageous said Mr.. Burleson.

Cox of Ohio, who has made a long and
study of the power project at
Great Falls and who began a statement
of the intent and purpose Of the commit
tee i'm incorporating the $4,000 appro-
priatiOu in the bill
Evening star., 1912-01-19
Estimated Profit.

The cost of installing the plant Mr..
Cox continued, would be 81, 100000. The
cost of installing the lighting facilities,
stations, ETC.. would be $19O0,OOO.
The total cost of the plant. including
the facilities for delivering the light,
would be $4.600,00O. Figuring the inter
est charged at ) per cent, the interest
would be S13S.0GO upon bonds. which must
be issued to cover this investment OPP
Grafton, maintenance and depreciation OF
the power plant would be $17S.OOO: the
depreciation Of the lighting plant. $780,
coo. and the interest, $13S.0O0. as stated.
making a total of fixed charges of
$5O6, eco.
Now. let us see what we have on the
credit side. Street lighting now costs
S3S6,O0O a year. There would be with a
horsepower capacity of 1900, an excess
of power, returning an income, on the
basis of one cent per kilowatt, of S1O1 go.
That is the night excess.
Then there would be a day excess,
which would take in substantially the en-
tire capacity of the plant of 15,97S,0U
kilowatts. Figuring this at one cent, you
have an income of s156. 7SO, or a total in
come of $6i4.O0O. more than $1O0.OO above
all fixed charges. overhead expense, etc.

oficial Report on Project.

Mr.. Cox referred to a report on the
Great Falls power project made by the
United States geological survey some
years ago.
THE engineers made topographic
map" he said. They made charts and
profiles showing the amount of land
owned by the government at Great Falls
owned by private and corporate parties.
and the amount
They showed also the opportunities
for the construction of a reservoir
along the Potomac. both north and
south of Great Falls, and submitted a
statement with respect to the natural
facilities. They gave 1T their opin
tion from an engineering standpoint
tionu from an engineering standpoint
but that it was entirely practicable
They likewise submitted a statement
with respect to the cost of installation
and maintenance The survey reports
that ample water power can be developed
and that the cost of construction will be
of such an amount as to make it mat
ter of ultimate economy for the govern
ment.
why didn't they do this many years
ago.? asked Representative Taylor
tOhiop.
They have never been called upon to
make recommendation until this last
year. Mir. Cox responded.

Investigation Of Falls Power Plant.

The paragraph appropriating 10000 for
an investigation of the Great Falls wa
terpower project was then read by the
clerk and lively discussion ensued. The
paragraph in question. considered BY the
appropriations committee to be one of the
most important in the bill from an eco
nomic standpoint, is as follows:
"The Secretary Of War is authorized
and directed. through the Corps of En-
gineers Of the United States Army. to
investigate and report to Congress at
the beginning of its next session on the
questions of the present water supply
in the District. and the sufficiency of its
