Health Officers Warning !!

Inssmuch as a number of cases OF
small pox have been discovered in Bal
timore within the past few weeks, and
sent to quarantine and as new cases
are being reported, the health officer
considers it prudent to warn all persons
of the danger of visiting in those 10
calities. and also advises every unvac-
cinated person and those who have not
been vaccinated for several years to
have it done without further delay.

-Four hundred years ago the idea Of
numbering houses originated in Paris.
though It was not until 1859 that the
system became general The first

which houses were numbered is Pres

few years wholly from the receipts of
the water department. without any in
crease in rates to. consumers, and with
out either the payment of any general
special tax or any draft on the District
general revenues.
1T is further parent from Col. Lang
fits report that whether the United
States or the District establishes the
Great Falls project, that portion of cost
chargeable to power development. can be
met on the same principle-wholly out of
the revenues of the project ITSELF
The Commissioners plans for munich
pal distribution of current. though not
yet worked out in any detail, have their
inception In the estimates contained in
the Langfitt report as to the amount of
electrical energy that may he generated
at Great Falls. Briefly, the report shows
that the maximum amount is approx
mately 100000 horsepower. with c6.ON
horsepower estimated as the average 1t
is stated that the present amount of en-
ergy required for lighting .the ctys
streets. parks and buildings is 1890
horsepower maximum
From these figures it is seen that there
is difference of $1,000 horsepower be-
tween the present maximum requirement
of the city and the average amount of
energy that may be generated by the
popOScu 0iSdl Il ais ueSpiOEmGnl- II Is
this surplus supply which the municipal
officials contemplate using in the pro-
posed distribution of current to con-
sumers in the same manner that the city
now provides them with water.
How much of saving will be effected
in the lighting bills of Washinetonians. if
the District government enters this new
field of public service is problematical
but the Commissioners are hopeful that
the rates now charged for current may
be cut in two. Some light on this phase
of the question is furnished by the re-
port of the Potomac Electric Power
Company for the fiscal year 1913. The
gross revenue from the sale of electricity
is reported as 81. 196 600 or an average of
so.o63 per kiiowatt hour The surplus
remaining after paying all operating ex-
penses and fixed charges, including
taxes. insurance, salaries of officers and
employees. generation. distribution, etc.
but before paying dividends, is reported
at 1861 600. This represents a profit OF
SOOlSi-say s0.O2-per kilowatt hour.
Should the cost of generating and dis
tributing power, from Great Falls be no
greater than that from the plant of the
Potomac Electric Power Company. the
immense profit of $1,000. or, approx
mateiy, $500 per kilowatt hour could be

main power house or some other agreed
point. or the lessee of the surplus power
may be called upon to complete the
installation and entire delivery of the
salable power. Again. the government
could readily install the steam auxiliaries
necessary TO- this larger development
and deliver the power up to approx
mately 100000 horsepower, less that
needed for its own use, to the purcha ser
With proper authority of Congress
and the adoption of the plans now con-
sdered this whole question could well
be investigated and the best course de-
termined upon before the construction
has advanced too far to include the COM
plete development, if that course seemed
most desirable. In any event, some reye-
nue.. under any equitable basis, would
seem to be assured, whatever method of

An interesting feature of the pro-

plans adopted. This body of water,

present line.
For the prevention of undue back Wa
ter from large foods. it is proposed to
arrange the crest of the dam with Stoney
gates, so that by raising the gates in
creased discharge area is given and back
water thereby reduced.
: Specifications for the installation pro-
posed for the development of power and
an increased water supply have been
worked out in detail. The principal fea-
lures of this installation are. of course,

The site selected for the power house
and intake dam is just within the District
and about five miles from the White
House. This short distance, it is stated,
permits the omission of step-up trans

Chain bridge" he continues The total
fall at low stages from the water surface
above Great Falls to the point at whicl,
the dam is to be placed is Approximately
lao feet The elevation selected for the
lake surface is a compromise between the
desire. to obtain as high fall as possible
and the necessity of reducing to a. rea SON
able amount the overflow damages occa-
stoned by ordinary flowage or backwater
from floods. Even with that elevation a

The estimated amount of electrical en-
ergy which can be generated varies &C

400 to $500 horsepower. The studies
made in connection with the investigation

err. with a maximum or peak requirement

Provision has been made in the esti-
