observed that being Vice President

public addresses, Senator Borah said

District officials have been calling at
tention to the need for second con-
growth Of the city. but to relieve the
necessity Of depending solely upon
one supply line.
Debated In Congrexs.
Only a week ago the Senate and
House were celebrating over how
much they should appropriate for
continuing work on the new conduit
during the next twelve months. The
House allowed only 100000, while
the Senate voted for s2.500,ooo. When
the bill went to conference the con-
ferees compromised on $500, 900
which was about twice what the
House had allowed but a million less
than the Senate was willing to give.
With the sudden growth in popula-
tion during and after the war. the
daily consumption of water has in.
creased greatly. and for several
years the repair work on the con-
duit has been difncuIt to carry on be-
cause of the heavy use of water.
Officials familiar with the water
system however, say that a break in
the conduit is not nearly so serious
be similar accident in the Lydecker
tunnel
This latter tunnel also has had to
remain in service with practically no
repair work because of the increased
consumption of water and the fact
tration plant.
1t was pointed out today that the
work of mending the conduit is rem
dered easy by the fact that the water

When the new water supply prof.
ect is completed. the city will not
have to rely entirely on the existing
plan calls for supplemental ultra
ton plant near the Dalecarlia reser-
voir of the District line in the north
west.
i is the opinion Of persons familiar
with the water system that the old
conduit has held up remarkably well
considering it's years Of steady use.
When plans for the old supply line
were being prepared prior to 1860
the population Of Washington and
$4,000 inhabitants. Today, the popu-
lation is close to the 100000 mark
giving some idea of the extent to
which the engineers looked ahead in
planning the water system.
For a number Of years past. how
close to the daily safe capacity Of the
conduit. and efforts have been made
both by officials and local organiza-
tions to have Congress speed up ap-
propriations for completion Of the
new project.
