POSSIBLE WATER SUPPLY.
Col. Langfitt Figures on Conduit
From the patuxent River

That it would cost SJ.5SS 600 to build d
conduit big enough to carry $4,000. 900 gal
Ions of water day from PatuXent river
to Washington is the opinion of Lieut..
Col Langfitt, the engineer officer who
has made survey of the river as a
source of the possible water supply for
the District. The report is a voluminous
one and has been referred to the appro-
priations committee of the House of Rep
resentatiyes.
The report also advances the idea that
it might be advantageous to combine the
increase in the water supply with power
canal to lead from the Great Falls TO the
Dalecarla reservoir. where the necessary
additional water supply would be deiiv
cred. In the judgment of Gen. BiXby, de-
cision of the method of increasing the
water supply of the District should be
deferred until further studies are made.

TUG GOES TO RESCUE.
The Advance Saves the Packard
From Burning Near Providence.

According to a letter received by Capt.
A. ]. Taylor. managing owner of the
Taylor tugboats, from Capt. Frank Tay-
lor, at Providence. r. L., the tug Advance
of the Taylor fleet, which is in service
at Providence was the means of saving
the tug ]. S. Packard from destruction
by fire last week. The tug was on her
way down the river at Providence with
mud scows in tow when she caught fire.
The Advance came along soon after the
fire started and, putting her big fire
fighting pumps to work. succeeded in eX-
tinguishing the flames but not before the
Packard was considerably damaged.
The Packard belongs TO the Packard
Dredging Company of Providence, and
was in service as tender to dredging ma
chimes working in the vicinity of the
Rhode Island capital 1t is stated that
but for the efficient fire apparatus OH the
Advance and the good work of her crew
the Packard would certainly have been
destroyed.
