RESERVOIR 4 CITY NEED.

VA lIaIINGToN needs another reservoir. That is
W conceded by many persons who have an nti-
mate acquaintance with the physical facts surround
ing cty's water supply
The present reservoirs do not supply storage
pacity in keeping with the needs of constantly
growing community. The margin safety is entirely
too small It is becoming smaller daily
With our city growing it is, in a few years that
margain will be exhausted unless something be done
quickly to meet the emergency When any Of
a series of untoward accidents may create, under
listing conditions, water famine, t is time to ig
the future TO pursue penny-wise and pound
foolish policy in dealing with the situation. The thing
to do is to act with intelligence and reasonable
petition
The thought should be kept in mind that It takes
time to provide for and build a reservoir and that
in all wisely administered municipalities it is the
practice TO keep the water supply facilities well in
advance OF immediate needs.
When the storage capacity of the reservoirs of city
of 100000 inhabitants Is such that it provides for
advance supply Of only two three days, II is
thing that should excite the interest Of the people
and impel them to demand that greater margin OF
safety be provided.
