is worth exactly $i,746,-
S77.3i, according to an APP
praisni made during the last
1e months by Water Superin-
tendent Paul Savidge.
The Green river system alone

This is the first time in the his
tory of the city water department
that any attempt has been made
to arrive at figures indicating the
worth of the water system.
10000 Pages of Ii.
Savidge has itemized in $1,000
typewriter pages every foot oil
water pipe in use for distribu.
tion purposes, every reservoir,
standpipe. valves, gate, gate box
and other device.
He has figured depreciation on
all property, present valuation
and cost of reproduction of every
unit of the immense plant.
The report has been condensed
by Supt. Savidge into a neatly
bound volume, half of which is
taken up with maps, showing In
detail every inch of the system

French Retake
Lost Positions

PARIS, May S.-French troops
have recaptured most of the
ground lost yesterday.
A successful counter attack
last night drove the Germans
from the communication trenches.
Part of the 500 yards between
Haudremont and Douaumont
were retaken.
Military critics declared the
German attack is a prelude to a
fourth great offensive against
Verdun. The fight west of the
Meuse attained its greatest vio-
lence yesterday.
