Supply for Printing Office.

Attention is called to the large guam
tity of water consumed at the govern
ment printing office and the necessity
of adopting some method of reducin g
the amount. In 1915 the quantity used
at the big printing house averaged
3,3S2,000 gallons a day, and during one
month-November it reached the
alarming total of 4,6J2, 900 gallons a
day.
That amount is greater than the aver
age daily consumption of three cities
whose total population is $4,000. Plans
are suggested by Col. Flagier, the local
engineer officer, for reducing the con-
sumption to a maximum of about $780,
900 gallons a day by which a saving
of about $4,000 a year would be
effected.

One appeal, published in The Star
some weeks ago, told of a family whose
one breadwinner, a son in another city,
got but $40 a month. Since then the San
ia Claus Girl has been enabled, through
this publicity, to get the son a position
in this city at a monthly salary of
three times that amount
She particularly wants more volun-
teers to help her with her work in the
verification and fulfillment of requests

the average rate of fifteen a day. ard

REFUSES TO AFFILIATE
WITH FEDERATED BODY
Columbia Heights Association Re.
jects Proposition by Vote
of 20 to Is.
Protracted Debate Precedes Submis-
sion of Question to Members for De-
cision-New Members Enrolled.

BY a vote of 20 to Is the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association last
night refused to join the Federation
of Citizens Associations. The meeting
was held in the auditorium of the Will
son Normal School, 11th and Harvard
streets northwest. and the decision was
the elimination of a fight over the
question of the advisa bility of joining
the federation. which has ragged in the
Columbia Heights Association for
many months. BY definitely voting
against affiliating with the federation
last night it is thought the associa-
tion has settled the matter-for some
time. at least-and that by common
consent the issue will not be brought
up again.
It was only after two strenuous
hours of debate that the question was
put to a vote. A proposed amendment
to the constitution of the association,
introduced at the last meeting. calling
for delegate or delegates to the fed
Grafton, was taken under consideration,
when President William r. Harr ruled
that no amendment was required, but
that the delegate could be elected by
vote of the association.
Opening of Debate.
Then the debate began. President
Harr himself declared that the CO.
lumbia Heights Association would, in
his opinion, be tying it's hands and i'm
pairing it's activity by refusing to CO.
operate with the federation.
"It would be a narrow minded pol
ICY" he said, "for US to hold ourselves
Naloof"
A. B. Shreve declared that to his way
of thinking the federation is not rep
resentative. and he warned his fellow
/ members that "if we join that fedora
tion we are losing some of our power
THE weakness of the people of the
District" Charles c: Lancaster said, ''is
in lack of unity of action. Congress
says. If we can only find out what
you want we will be glad to give il
to you And only by some such unity
of action, such as the federation is
striving for, will we ever be able to
/ let Congress know what we want"
| The speaker also spoke in favor OF
sending delegates to the federation un-
! instructed.
Judge Bundy's Query.
what single thing has ever been
done that can rightfully be placed to
the credit of the federation" asked
Judge Charles S. Bundy.
William H. Saunders. past president
of the association, strongly upheld
Judge Bundy. Mr.. Saunders said he be-
leved the functions of the Columbia
Heights Association to be purely local
There are too many organizations in
the District already he said.
The question of amending the con-
stituton was voted on, and the amend
ment lost Mr.. Rice then offered the
text of the lost amendment as a reso-
luton. Division being called for, it was
found that twenty citizens were against
joining the federation and fifteen il
favor.

METER|NG SAVES WATER
FOR D. C., EXPERT SAYS
Gen. Kingman Reports Daily Con-
sumption Has Dropped From
67,0o0,0OO to 54,54O, 900 Gallons.

THE metering of the city services is
now 20 per cent completed" says Gen
kingman in n report to Congress in re-
gard to the District water supply serv-
ice, land has resulted in a reduction OF
the total average daily consumption
from about 6I,O00.OOO gallons in 1907 to
about 54.500.0O0 gallons in 1915, not
withstanding an estimated increase in
population of 24,000.
'1n view of this showing and of the
further reduction which the water de-
partment of the District of Columbia
confidently expects will follow further
metering of private services, it is not
considered necessary for the present
to bring the project for the increase of
the water supply to the attention of
Congress. 1t is now estimated that the
safe capacity of the present system
will not be exceeded before 1925"
Daily Consumption Reduced.
The usual routine work was carried
on throughout the year on the entire
aqueduct system. Gen kingman says
that the publication system was very
satisfactory, the average bacterial
count in the filtered effluent being
twelve per cubic centimeter and the
cost of operation $4J3 per million gal
Ions of water filtered. The average
daily consumption was 54,54U.UUu gal
Ions, and the per capita daily consump-
ton was l54 gallons. Meters on fed
eral services We're kept in good condi-
ton.
Work has been continued on lining
the dangerous portions of unlined sec
tions of the Washington aqueduct. The
principal items of new work are the
construction of new storehouse, the
widening and improving of the Conduit
road and the continuance OF the lining
of the dangerous sections of the aque-
duct tunnels. Gen. kingman says it is
expected to finish all of that work dur
ing the ensuing fiscal year.
