s:.s.em, win extend the distributing
system throughout the yard to give
the service required.
The Chairman-Have you secured
8 right of way from the Damon prop
erty across the ridge over to the sta
ton?
Civ. Engr. Stanford-We are obtain
ing a right of way from Mr.. Damon
over that portion of the line which
crosses his property, but We do not
have any absolute right over the po--
ton which is between the Damon
property and the naval property. That
at present is along the right Of way
Of the railroad company and in part
along the bounding line of certain
private property.
The Chairman-Have the mains
been laid.
Civ. Engr. Stanford The. mains
have not been laid, but the material
has been requisitioned for, and the
work is in process of development.
This result is possible because
pLblic-spirited and very generous At
titEde which has been shown by Mr..
Eamon and without his assistance
would have been, l believe, practical
" impossible. ,..
Mr.. Bathrick-Why would it not be
a good idea to recognize his service?
The Chairman-We are very glad
70 hear this report, and the commit
tee desires to place on. the records an
expression of its appreciation of the
kindness and public.spfrited coopera.
tiUn of Mr.. Damon. have been on
Sir. Damon's estate, and it Is an Eden
il Is a beautiful estate, and he has
water. there. ~: ~
Civ. Ehgr.. Stanford think your
action is a very gracious recognitions
CT very generous act. ...s.-.-
Mr.. Roberts-You say that there
are 100000 gallons obtainable now. Is
that the maximum Of the supply?
Civ. Engr. Stanford amount
could be greatly increaSed by pumping
the we'll. III p. s,..:. "A
Mr.. Roberts-That is the natural
flow? .ss.s.... .-.... ...s..s !
Civ. Engr. Stanford-That is OBJ
from the well without artifi-
cial assistance. ~ <s,E..z...r,e = -. . 10.
Mr., Bathrick-If that water were
cut off at any place in the three-mile
stretch, it would pretty nearly wreck
the navy yard? z-v-. - i
Civ. Engr. Standardized is the
sole source of supply for the navy
yard. 1t Is expected to have tank
,f comparatively small dimensions at
the yard which will serve as. 1istri-
buting tank or reservoir, but the con- Z!
tents of that tank would not serve Tor
any great period of time
Mr.. Bathrick Would it not be q
good plan to erect a larger tank to
tfoVide in case or illsurrection or war
are for the possibility of having that
supply cut on ? s;s. !. i. .1 IN.
civ. Engr.. Stanford thing the
OF such a tank would be /
in. practical. ;, TIE only way by which
i supply could be conserved womb he
by means of a reservoir, which is
nardfy practical because of the topo- ,
trophy Of the naval property, which is !
lot suitable for reservoir purposes.
Mr.. Bathrick-Suppo!e there was !
lp Instruction, or we were at war
With some power who had confeaer-
ties On the Island, would it be very
sasy for them to wreck that water
1fpe system and would it be difficult
d protect 1t? III /
CIV. EngT, Stanford think not, be-
.aiise the Army have Notifications in
hat vicinity, and it is contemplated :
d have a Considerable force always
