night by Representative R.. Walton
Moore of Virginia, speaking before
the monthly meeting of the washing
ton Board Of Trade. Mr.. Moore's ad-
dress followed the report OF the water
supply committee Of the board. in
the committee. stressed the immediate
need of legislation for an additional
supply of water for the city.
A resolution was adopted by the
board pledging its support to two cor
rective measures for the water supply
of the city. The first is the Zihlman
bill, now pending in Congress, which
calls for the installation of water me-
ters in government buildings, and the
second is the construction of a second
aQueduct at Great Falls, which Is pro-
nounced a most urgent necessity.
Mr. Moore's Remarks.
"The Tyler report, covering an in
War Department" said Mr.. Moore
was submitted to Congress only re-
Gently. The report recommends that
provision be made for increasing the
water supply by constructing an addi-
tional conduit from the Great Falls
i
without unnecessary delay.
THE work should start at once, as
it cannot be completed under three
years. Congress should take prompt
action. It can and should appropriate
the sum of $200. 900 which is asked
for the purpose of organizing and pre-
pairing for the work. The present
aqueduct, which is sixty years old, is
feeble: it has served its time. and
there is a tremendous and urgent need
that corrective steps should be taken
without delay.
Power Supply Discussed.
I'm regard to the power supply for the
District" continued Mr.. Moore, "the
Tyler report is perfectly clear. 1t says:
Comprehensive development Of the Po-
tomac river by means of power dams in
the main river and storage reservoirs on
certain of the large tributaries is eco
nomically feasible, and continuous power
thereby can be generated at a cost per
kilowat hour Of approximately SO per
cent less than for power generated by
steam, II the entire output Of the hydro
electric plant can be marketed.
The cost of the work viii be around
$50, ,000. .000-less than the cost Of one
battleship-which win include the inter-
est on what is expended; during the
progress Of the work. 1t is estimated
that the power can be distributed on a
basis which will yield per cent on the
capital invested and provide a sinking
fund to repay. the investment in period
of about thirty years.
