TO GET BETTER WATER
Col. W. c. Langftt Makes Recon-
mendatons in Annual Report to
Improve Supply.

Col. William c. Langfitt, Of the Engi-
neer Corps in charge of the Washington
Aqueduuct, in his annual report asks for
sS,oooOoo for the improvement Of the
water supply system Of the District. Re
quest is made for funds for the acquire
ment Of necessary water and land rights
by purchase or by condemnation proceed
ings.
One million dollars Of the money is to
be expended, according to the report. for
the proposed enlargement of the Great
Falls water supply. This project. which
has been before Congress several times,
includes the utilization of the water pow,
er of Great Falls for power necessary to
supply electric lighting for the Federal
government and the District.
In addition to the sum asked for the
Great Falls work. Col. Langfitt asks for
the following: For operation and MAIN
tenance of the filtration plant. s91 600: con-
tinuing the work of lining the aqueduct
tunnel, $4,000; surfacing the Conduit
Road from FoxhaI Road to Great Falls,
$1,000; meters. s4,10o. and Mcmillan Park.
s2.010 Estimates also are submitted for
completing the purchase. installation and
maintenance of water meters to be placed
ON the water services of the National
Hospital. Naval Medical School. Library

quring immediate repair in one of the
important aqueduct or filtration plant
structures. such as a dam, conduit. tun-
mel, bridge. building or important piece
of machinery. AS an evidence of the
necessity of such a fund Col. Langfitt
says that one of three main pumping
engines was badly wrecked last October
by the breaking of the crank disc and
had to be repaired at once. He said that
it requires two pumps for a part of each
day to supply the necessary amount of
water to the filters, and if two were out
of commission at the same time the city
waer supply would have to be delivered
unfiltered.

Of the aspirants for the FL Paso ball

A few of the former City leaguers

teams over the country The grounds
at the park are still in bad condition,
the surface having an uneven slope,
with small holes dented along the base
lines, making it impossible for the bail
players beyond a stiff workout in bat
ting and fielding. Nothing definite
could be determined yesterday,
but it is predicted that there viii be a
strong battle for positions on the bags
and berths on the pitching staff
Particular interest was centered on
