 Sanitary and Storm Sewerage.
 In he sundry civil act approved August 24 1912. provision was made for preliminary survey of the sewer system of the city of Hot Springs. Ark
 By arrangement between the 'e- partment and the United States Geo 1 logical Survey this work was under taken by Mr Sledge Tatum. geoera- pher in charge of the Rocky Mountain division of that bureau. and he has submitted his report, which was ac- i companied by report of J. W. Barnet, consulting -epsineer, ..--.,.-.~--. -.
 Tn their report which was quite vollminous, an estimate was submit- ted in the sum of $26.595 for labor aud material in perfecting a sanitary sew CT system in Ho- Springs, and for conducting an experimental sewer pu- ritication plant together with alterna- ' tive propositions for providing puri- ! fication plants in the sum of $70,0U0 and S20000. respectively, dependent upon the system adopted as @ result of the experience obtained in expa,i- mental plant
 "An estimate was also submitted ir the sum of $327,5i0 for drainage sys- ] tenn to care for s-orm waters from the mountains on the Hot Spring Reservation, which. amount includes $S9,700 for extending the Hot Springs Creek arch from is present termin s on Church Street. in the city of Hot l Springs. to South Water Street, Ip- l proWmately the city limits "The installation of the sanitary l sewer system, however it was stat ed, will obviate the necessity for con- l tinuing the Hot Springs Creek aron. Ewtth its present terminus a. Church 1 Street, because the impurities which i are now flowing into the creek under the arch will be cared for by the saT- 1 itary sewer system.
 This report was submi ted by yle ! Secretary Of the Interior to Congress and printed as House Document N) 129S, Sixty-second Congress, third se5- sion together with an estimate Of the amouns of money required for the work
 Increase in Salary.
 When it is considered that the slt ] perintendent of this reservation is a direct representative of tho Govern ment and that over 100000 visitors from all sections of the world come here annually for these baths, it will be seen that the ohice is one of im- ! portance.
 The superintendent is called upon | nearly every day of the year afford some assistance or cure some evil for the visitors. persons who are ailing in body, are ailing in mind, and the superintendent is in a measure the guardian of the ailins people who come here.
 He is called upon to meet and n. certain men of prominence not only of this country but of others, and the salary attached to the office is wholly inadequate with the duties required and in no way commensurate with the importance of the office It should be increased to at least $6,000. It must be borne in mind that this res ervation is self-sustaining and grow ing in importance every day
 "The number of visitors during the past year is approximately the same as for the past three years, to7wit about 130000 Unfortunately for this resort there is an established season in January. February, and March, when the greatest number of visitors come here, In my opinion, this should be an aH~lhe-year-roun resort, as
