WILSON BREAKS

President Again Disregards Gus
tom to Confer With Senate
Leaders in Capitol.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The tar

dent Wilson made the following
statement:
The result of our conference is
that we don't see any sort of diff
Guilty in standing on our party pro-
gram.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-President
Wilson will visit the Capitol at 3
o'clock to-day to confer with the ma
jority of the Senate Committee on
Finance in the Presidents room.
This viii be the first time in a
century that a President has made use
of the furnished room across from the
Senate Chamber Of the Capitol, except
for the signing Of bills at the end
of a session.
President Wilson announced some
time ago his intention of frequently
visiting the Capitol TO keep a close
watch on legislation. The Chief Elk
ecutive believes his presence at the
Capitol to-day to personally discuss
the tariff bills and the currency re-
form will greatly aid these measures.
This afternoons conference is not
expected TO have any far-reachlng
results. other than establishing
precedent, and is only one of series
between the President and the FL
nance Committee, the first Of which
was held at the White House last
Monday. The Presidents visit to the
Capitol will be informal, the Chief
Executive being accompanied only by
Secretary Tumulty and secret
service operative,
The Presidents room has long been

PURE WATER AND
BIC PARK ASSURED
Last Piece of Private Property on
Watershed of Atianta's Reser-
voir Has Been Purchased.

Purity of Atlanta's water supply
and the building Of one of the most
beautiful parks in the South were
assured to-day by the purchase of
the last piece Of private property on
the watershed OF the city's 400, 900, O00-
gallon water reservoir. Zode Smith,
general manager Of the water works.
closed a deal for the last part of $50
feet of private property on the Howell
Mil Road, the back of which borders
the big lake of city water
Health officers condemned the con-
dition of this property as threatening
to- contaminate the water. supply. On
it stand four dwellings, a store. a
hog pen and several open closets.
and it drains toward the reservoir.
Plan Urged by Georgian.
The plan to purchase Il, started by
Water Commissioner w. ]. Davis and
exploited by The Georgian, finally has
met a successful contamination. All
the buildings will be torn down and.

around the pumping station, the
A.
The big reservoir is the most beau
tiful lake anywhere around Atlantis.
Already a fine driveway has been
built around it and its banks have
been sodded. A beautiful smaller lake
is just across the road. The water
board will urge a larger appropria-
ton for the park developments. BY
another year Manager Smith prom
ises a wonderful recreation ground
there. a spot that already has a fine
automobile boulevard leading to it.
One Small Tract Lacking.
The $50 feet OF private property
cost the city $1,000 It gives the
city one complete large tract except
800 feet on the other side OF the roam
which extends to the coagulating We
ter basins. The drainage from this
property is protected by a bank built
by the city. but the location OF the
property still makes il obvious that
the city should purchase it, psrtic-
ularly IN view Of the park plans.
Manager Smith said the Water Board
would request an appropriation for
its purchase when Council makes up
the June budget.
