Would Furnish Power and Ad-
diti0naI Water for the Ma
tionaI Capital.
OVER Fifteen MILLIONS,
THE ESTIMATE OF COST
District Would Pay Half of Sum
Necessary to Increased
Water Supply.

The first step toward providing Wash
inston with water power from the falls of
the Potomac, making it possible to OBJ
tain light and power at greatly reduced
rates. is provided for in a bill which SEN
ator Norris of Nebraska will introduce in
the Senate Monday. Senator Norris COM
pleted the draft of the bill today, after
careful study of the whole question.
The bill proposes to increase the water
supply of the National Capital as well as
to provide for power. Senator Norris
pointed out that the water supply at pres
ent is hardly more than sufficient to meet
the demands made upon it and that some
means of increasing the supply must be
found in the near future in any event.
Cost Limit $15,O21 800.
The sum of s15.O21, 600 is proposed to
be appropriated in the bill OF this
amount it is estimated by the army en-
gineers, who made an investigation of
the matter under authorization of Con-
gress, that S5172.6OO will be required for
increasing the water supply and So, s49, 600
will be required for developing the power
which will be used in lighting streets,
public buildings and in providing power
for all the government buildings in Wash
ington.
Senator Norris has provided that the
appropriation for the increase of the
water supply of the District shall be paid
ON the half and half plan, one-half from
the revenues Of the District and one
half from the federal Treasury.
Dam Near Chain Bridge.
The plan approved by Senator Norris
and provided for in his bill calls for the
construction Of a dam near Chain bridge.
This dam would make a lake nine miles
in length, but it would not take in the
drop at Great Falls. 1t has been esti-
mated that maximum Of $4,000 horse
power and a minimum of 5000 horse
power would be developed from this ar
rangement. depending, of course, on the
amount of water in the river at the time.
Eventually. Senator Norris believes,
the project will be continued by increas-
ing the height of the dam. taking in the
drop at Great Falls, and in this way
making 1t possible to increase largely
the amount Of power developed. In this
way 1t should eventually be possible
TO produce electric light for the entire
city, and in all private buildings, and
possibly to develop power enough to
run the street railways. The cost of
electricity to the citizens would be
enormously reduced. it is said
Senator Norris declared that the crea-
1ion of great lake nine miles long
just above Chain bridge would add
greatly to the beauty of the country
near the National Capital.
The bill drafted by Senator Norris is
as follows:

Township Politics

The Republican primary for Crystal
Falls township is being he'd at the
township hall this afternoon and
there seems to be quite an interest in
the affair. There Is no opposition in
any of the offices executing that OF
highway commissioner In which An
drew Ronauist and Alfred Anderson
are opposing one another for that
office.
There is an understanding that the
farmers will have an opposition ticket
but their alignment has not been
presented as yet. The representation
ON the Republican ticket is pretty well
split mp with the farmers. Chas VI
Rogers being the candidate for treas.
urer and VIM. Poyseor for board OF
Review in addition TO Victor Rosen-
laff for overseer Of highways and the
winner Of the contest for commits
sioner. Last year the farmers had a
complete ticket in the field.
