WATER SITUATION
HERE IS ALARMING.
Commissioners Ask Senate
to Pass ZihIman Bill, Pro-
viding for Investigation.

Declaring that the amount Of water
used in the District over the safe
dependable capacity Of the conduit of
65,0O0.O00 gallons daily is viewed
| with grave concern" the District
Commissioners have sent to the SEN
ate District committee report urg-
ing the earliest practicable passage
of the Zihlman bill providing for an
investigation of the water situation.
! The bill, which was introduced by
Representative Zihlman of Maryland,
has passed the House. .
Figures Are Startling. w.
Here are some of the startling fig
ures as to local water consumption
contained in the report:
!, In June the average consumption
was 62,212,O0O gallons. One day that
month the District used 100000
gallons.
July average consumption. 65,541.-
! 900; on three days, 100000 gallons
were used.
August average consumption, 6S.-
000, 200; on seven days, 100000 and
one day. 75,000,000 gallons were used.
september average couSuiupIlou, oo,-
100000; one day, 70.000,00O gallons
october average consumption. 64,-
100000; one day, 67,000,0U0 gallons
were used.
From January up to November the
computed on monthly basis, was
5s,7l6,00O gallons. the report states.
For the corresponding months of the
previous year it was 47,540.000 gallons.
Use by Departments. !
The Commissioners call attention to
water usage in the federal depart
,,ments. The government printing office,
during the week ended September 80.
used 2,7S4,2s6 gallons; navy yard. l.
$4,000 gallons; bureau of engraving
and printing. 1,72O,00O gallons; four
buildings on B street between 18th
and 2lst streets. under the control OF
the War and Navy departments, l.
100000 gallons-a total of 7,O14,286
This, it is pointed out. is practically
IL per cent of the total average daily
consumption Of the District for that
week.
Attention is invited to the fact that
by act. of Congress approved March
8, 1917, the Commissioners are author
lied to deliver water for distribution
to certain territory in Maryland, pro-
vided the amount furnished does not
exceed the amount that can be spared
without jeopardizing the interests of
the United States and the District.
Under present conditions, they say, no
water can be furnished to Maryland.
Need for Increase.
1.-THE Commissioners are of the
opinion" concludes the report, that
. the facts stated show a present
urgent need for the increase of the
! water supply of the District of CO.
lumbia with it's present population,
and that the additional consumption
to be expected with further increase
of population makes provisions for
the additional water supply impera-
