WATER SUPPLY PROJECT
Continued from First Page.)

water. In order to provide for the
larger demands for water produced
ny this great increase in population,
n increased water supply project
Mas authorized by Congress in 1921.
l The report recommending this. plan
'ras published as Senate document No.
.03, Sixty-siXth Congress, Sd session,
nages SO to IS, and maps attached.
The plan provided for obtaining
additional water from Great Falls,
rom which point it is to be carried
in conduit to the District line.
where a new filtration plant. is being
constructed. and from which point
water will be distributed into the
existing supply mains of the city.
There are two most important reasons
why this new system should be COM
oleted at as early a date as possible.
These are:
Il. We are now using at times all
the water that the present system will
furnish and in very warm or very
cold weather even more than 1t will
safely bring to the city.
2. The present system has two
weak points, as follows: (a) The con-
iuit from Great Falls to the District
line. The construction of this new
conduit is now in progress under con-
tract which calls for its completion by
April, 1925, and the rate of work so
far attained justifies the belief that
it will be finished on time; OBJ the
other weak point is the tunnel run
ming from Georgetown reservoir, un-
der the city and under Rock Creek.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-03-07

until that time. and then do the work
necessary to put it in proper serv-
iceable condition.
''The present system cannot at
times supply the water needed to
take care of the increasing demands
of the city. We are now not only
using all that can come through the
tunnel. but 1t is at times necessary
even with restrictions as 20 the use
of fountains, watering lawns, etc.
during the summer months and with
refusal to supply outlying districts
The vital feature. however, is the in
ability to make repairs to the present
system where conditions are such
that the present supply of the city
might be affected. Therefore, In order
to insure that the water supply of
the city will not be cut off, with at
tendant sanitary and fire hazards, the
rev system should be completed at
the earliest practicable date.
Funds Important Factor.
THE time Of completion of the prof.
ect will be seriously affected by the
amount of the appropriation, with a
corresponding danger to the conven-
fence and health of the Inhabitants
Of the District and to the safety Of
their property from fire.
Maj. O'Connor, the engineer Dis
trict officer, in charge of the work of
charging the water supply, informs
me that he told the representatives of
the budget at the hearing which they
gave him. that to allow for a proper
and economical progress of the work
not less than 100000 should be pro-
vided this year. The amount allowed
by the budget was, however, only
$4,000
1.-The status of the yearly appropria-
ton is briefly as follows:

Legislation Commission to Hear
Representatives From
Agencies Monday.
PUBLIC'S VIEW SOUGHT
Control Issue to Be Brought Up
Thursday.

The proposal to place all public
welfare agencies in the city under
unified control will be discussed at
an informal conference at the Dis
trict building Monday afternoon
between the commission on public
welfare legislation and representa-
tives of the various boards.
The commission will not attempt to
reach conclusions at this executive
session. seeking merely to get the
views OF hte various agencies. This far
reaching question will be opened to
public discussion at a hearing in the
boardroom Of the District building at
$3.50 Thursday afternoon.
Called Into Conference.
The institutions and agencies call
sd to send representatives to the con-
ference Monday are: District work.

The welfare commission. headed by

terday afternoon in executive session
and approved, in principle. the measure
to extend aid to dependent children in
their own homes. The commission did
not attempt to approve. any detailed
legislation on the subject.
The new compulsory education bill
was discussed, but final action was post
poned to enable a committee to confer
further with Superintendent Of Schools
9allou over certain details in the bill.
This committee Is made up Of Walter

Elizabeth Harris and William Hodson.

to the filtration plant. at LIST and
Douglas streets. The status Of the tun-
mel can be briefly covered as follows:
Two Days Water Supply.
"This tunnel cannot be unwatered
inside Of about two days. The reserve
supply Of water at the filtration plant
in sufficient to last the city for only
this same length of time, so that
under present conditions no time Is
left after unwatering the tunnel u 70
make repairs before all water avail
able for use in the city will be eA-
hausted.
"The exact condition of this tunnel
is not known. It was last repaired
in 1908, the repairs at that time re-
under the method in which 1t was
possible to do the work at that time
1t Is not possible to do the work
now In that same manner or to make
any repairs whatever. owing to the
Increase in population of the city
and an increasingly greater demand
for water. and the correspondingly
shorter time during which water can
be cut off from the source of sup
ply at Great Falls.
1.-THE tunnel was last repaired in
1908. At that time when the water
release Of outward pressure against
the walls permitted the inward
pressure from the earth and rock on
the outside to bulge the walls in
ward for a distance of as much as
five inches in a length of tunnel of
1.400 feet. This bulge was repaired
by placing timbers against the walls
and back, lacking them back to ap-
liroximately the original position and
propping them in this manner by
cast iron struts. which it was con-
sidered necessary should remain in
the tunnel. This shows that the
tunnel walls are at certain points
exceedingly weak, and that there is
danger Of rupture or break at these
localities If not at other points
Collapse Is Feared.
1.-THE tunnel was last examined in
1913. At that time the struts and
props placed in 1908 were found still
in position. but in such condition. that
it has not been considered safe to I'M
water the tunnel since that time for
fear OF collapse, which would abb
solutely interrupt the city's water
supply.
"The only safe way to make the
necessary repairs on the tunnel. e.,
safe without running a great risk of
interrupting the water supply of the
city-is to wait until the completion
of the new system. in the hope that
the tunnel will last without falling

the most economical one.
I'm view Of the fact that Congress

The budget allowance for the fiscal
