RESERVOIRS FOUND
NEEDING CLEANING

Chemical analyses showing that
the water in two of Washington's
reservoirs is not up to the customary
high standard of purity has led Dis
trict authorities to take precaution-
ary steps to remedy the condition. A
thorough cleansing of the two basins
in the Brightwood reservoir on 18th
street has just been completed by
! the water department. and another
| reservoir will be given similar treat
ment this week on the recommends
tion of Health officer William c.
Fowler.
The District officials, however, are
not alarmed over the condition of the
water. DIR. Fowler gives assurance
that despite the slight impurities,
which will be speedily remedied. the
sumption. but advises the skeptical
to boil It.
Water Not Polluted.
The health officer emphasized that
the water in the two reservoirs in no
way was polluted. the meteorological
tests revealing that 1t contained bac-
terra slightly in excess Of those dis
made frequently throughout the year
The Brightwood reservoir. which
serves Brookland, most OF Bright
wood and upper Georgetown, was
closed Saturday in order that the
water department employees could
Thoroughly scour 1t with hypochlorate
of lime. The cleansing has been COM
pleted. and the north basin already
has been filled, while pumps are now
pouring water into the second basin.
DIR. Fowler declined to reveal the
name of the second reservoir in which
the water was not found to he up
to the usual standard. He said he
would recommend to Superintendent
j. 5. Garland of the water department
that this saucer" be cleansed
New Tests Planned.
When reports from bacteriologists
showing the condition of the water
were submitted to him DR.. Fowler
said he recommended to the water de-
partment that the Brightwood reser-
voir be disinfected. The reservoir
was subsequently drained and
cleansed with the powerful disinfect-
ant
Both DIR. Fowler and Mr. Garland
indicated today that they are reason
ably certain all the impurities have
been removed from the Brightwood
Saucer" AS soon as both basins are
filled another chemical test will be
made of the water.
There have been persistent reports
for several days that a number Of
physicians had detected impurities in
the water and had advised their pa
tients in certain sections OF the city
TO boil all water before drinking 1t.
Health officer Fowler, however. de-
clared that only two complaints of the
condition of the water had come to
his office, and pointed out that the
percentage is certainly small for
city of almost SOC, 900 inhabitants.
Filter Destroys Germs.
"I feel certain" DIR. Fowler said.
that the water with the slight increase
in bacteria was reasonably safe for
consumption. l did advise several per-
sons who questioned ME about 1t to
boil it."
How the bacteria found it's way into
the reservoir DR.. Fowler is not positive.
He expressed the opinion that II may
have been caused by dirt blowing in
from the street. pointing out that the
reservoirs are unprotected. The health
officer made 1t clear that all water con-
sumed in Washington passes through
the filtering station, where the germs
are almost certain to be destroyed.

OCEAN LINES FINED
$48O,O)D BY i. S.
Four PenaIized for Bringing
in Aliens in Excess of
August Quotas.

Fines totallng s4S0.Oo0 will be
companies whose vessels brought
into New York approximately 2.400
alions in excess Of quotas before mid
night last Friday. 1T was learned at
the Department of Labor today. All
the aliens except those suffering from
contagious diseases have been ad-
mitted to the United States. 'in the
interests of humanity" and to re-
lieve the overcrowde,l conditions at
Ellis Island. The total of fines which
will be levied against the steamship
companies whose vessels crossed the
line before midnight August 81 is
the largest ever assessed at one time
against a single company or group
of steamship companies.
Whether the fines can be made to
stick or not Is question for attor-
neys to decide. The fact that the
aliens have been admitted may be
used by the steamship companies as
a loophole for evading payment of the
fines. Under the law fine OF $500
per alien may be assessed against the
steamship companies bringing in
aliens in excess of quotas for a given
month.
Officials of the Labor Department
point out. however. that the fact that
the four ships crossed the line drawn
between Forts Hamilton and Wads-
worth in New York harbor before
September l makes II patent that the
1900 aliens were brought in in excess
of quotas. The August quotas were
exhausted. they say, and the aliens
were brought into this country in
August, when they should not have
been brought in before September.
Crossed Before Midnight.
The fact that the steamships cross
ed the line from six minutes to fifteen
makes the transportation companies
culpable under the law, immigration
officials say, and the levying of the
fines mandatory. The immigrants who
came in in excess of quotas will be as
signed against the quotas for another
month of the present fiscal year.
The only solution of the quota
ruShes." Commissioner General of
immigration Husband said today, ais
to count the quotas on the other side
rather than on this side"
Agencies Discredit Laws.
Commenting on the situation and
his action in admitting the aliens who
legally We're inadmissable. Secretary
Davis said today: There always
seem to be agencies at work trying
to discredit immigration laws by
crediting the Department of Labor
with ridiculous adverse decisions.
We are always receiving newspaper
clippings telling at length of i'm
possible situations which have arisen.
under which strictly technical con-
struction of the laws would impose
hardships. The unfortunate thing is
that instead of investigating the
facts, or waiting for the case to be
decided overzealous agencies at
tempt to prophecy the rulings and
never give the executive an oppor-
tunity to show that a humane inter
probation is possible. The depart
nent realizes that the immigrants
were the victims of the steamships.
and has placed the punishment ac-
cordingly."
