CUTS DOWN POWER

ing Sets Example for
Others.

Threatened with a water famine
in Washington. government officials
are beginning to view the shortage
with alarm. Saturday, in order to
conserve 1000 600 gallons daily, the
State, War aEd Navy Building de-
cided, as the result of a survey, to
discontinue the use of their gener-
aIing plant until such time as heat
ing becomes necessary.
F. w. Hoover. assistant to the
superintendent, who was Instructed
to make the survey, recommended
that the electricity used and fur
nished by this building be purchased
from the Potomac Electric Power
Company until the situation Is less
acute.
Whether other departments will
follow this example will depend
largely upon the capacity of the
Potomac Electric Power Company.
The company sells current to the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, which is again sold to
Annapolis, Md. Should the situation
become serious il is possible that
this power may be diverted to
Washington.
