WATER DOWNTOWN
Trade Organizations Support
Commissioners in Move
for Business Sections.

Washington trade organizations are
planning to support completely the
movement started recently by the
District Commissioners toward OBJ
talning a system of high pressure
water mains for the business sections
of the city, it was disclosed today.
The Washington Board of Trade.
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
favor of such system, and each has
u standing committee whose duty 1t
is to promote every effort looking to
this goal. IT, ese organizations will
take whatever steps may be neces-
sary. it Is said. to assist in obtaining
FOR Washington an adequate high
pressure water system for the down.
town congested district.
Action BY Board of Trade.
The Board of Trade. in its bulletin
just issued, calls attention to the fact
that as lar back as 1903 it has ad-
vocated such system and that each
succeeding year the dire need of it's
installation has been stressed
I'VE have not Leard of any real
concrete reasons why this much need
ed addition to our fire department
should not be made" the bulletin
points out. but. on the other hand.
there are numerous facts and reasons
to show that public improvement
of this character will prove of ines
timable benefit and service 10 the en-
tire community"
Secretary A. E. Seymour of the
Chamber of Commerce today stated
that that organization has long been
seeking to obtain high pressure
system, and will continue to work
for it until something is accomplish
ed. Charles J. Columbus announced
that the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association is not letting up
in its determination to see the busi-
this connection.
The area mapped out for this sytem
would include all territory from 1st
to 18th streets and from B to streets
northwest
Water Supply In Critical state.
A pressing argument for the pres
sure system is the fact that the Dis
trict of Columbia is facing a critical
situation with regard to its water
supply. and that the additional filter
ing purposes puts a great strain on
the already perilously- LOADED system.
The high pressure mains will draw
their water from the Potomac directly.
The bulletin of the board of trade
states that the outlying sections of
the city will be benefited by the
downtown pressure supply. as fire
equipment now in use in the down
town district may be reassigned to
duty in sections needing fire pro-
lection.
