"Oudntity."

One of the most serious problems the mer-
chant of today has to face is mot how much he
has to pay for merchandise but how can he Sc
cure enough to meet the demands of his patrons
The question of supply" is an all-absorbing
one. Many manufacturers are unable to fill or
ders because of the lack of raw materials Even
the most casual reader of the market reports can
realize, in a measure, the seriousness of the SIT
uation.
Fortunately we are protected by contracts
made months ago, and are in a more favorable
condition than many of our fellow merchants to
supply your needs The completeness of our
stocks will be apparent to all who investigate
our Fall offerings. We invite your critical in
spectiOn.

Water Mains.


It Is impossible in this condensed re-
port to present the many noteworthy
details and extent of the operations Of
the water department. These details
will be found in important reports fol-
lowing this
During the year 61.os3 feet. or 11.s
miles. of water mains of various sizes
were laid, making the total length of
mains now in service 3,27l,156 feet, or
619.6 miles. The working equipment
OF the pumping station has been In
creased by the installation OF one 81
o00.0o0-gallon centrifugal pumping unit
and two boilers.
Several trunk mains are needed in
the northwest section-in one locality
in the northwest section, in the gravity
service, most urgently-to furnish a
supply with increased pressure. The
estimated cost of those in this years
budget is $61s.532. The 20-inch third
high service trunk main, from Georgia
avenue and Fairmont street to Wiscon-
sin avenue and Woodley road. has been
completed and is in service. The old
twenty-inch and twelve-inch mains
previously used in this service are now
being used as reinforcement mains for
the second and first high services. Sur
vey was begun for the twelve-inch sec
ond high trunk line. from 37th and
Reservoir streets, through Reservoir
and New Cut road. to Conduit road
northwest The total pumpaEe for the
year was S.706,640,000 gallons. which is
$3.50, 900 more than in the year 1s15-16
A total Of 1915 miles of mains, prac-
tically all six inches in diameter, were
tested. and a daily underground leak
age of 273,500 gallons was found. an
average of 1900 gallons per day per
mile of pipe. Four individual leaks
were found. amounting to joint rate
OF 275,0o0 gallons daily. Another great
need is the covering Of the Brightwood
reservoir. on 18th street northwest, to
prevent contamination Of the water.
which is filtered before reaching the
reservoir. 1t is there exposed to dust.
germs and the formation of algae. The
reservoir should be covered with q con-
crete slab in manner similar to the
Reno reservoir. which was covered dur
ing the present year. The cover over
the Reno reservoir has been laid out
In tennis courts, which were placed I'M
der the jurisdiction OF the department
of Fairgrounds. A similar use could be
made of the cover proposed to be
placed over the Brightwood reservoir
