F|RE-PROTECT|ON
LAW ISPLANNED
D. C. May Seek Congress Au-
thority for Modernizing
Water System.

Legislation to authorize carrying out
of the program for modernization of
the water supply system for fire pro-
lection in the congested section of
Washington, recommended by a spe-
cial committee appointed by the Com
missioners, probably will be sought at
the forthcoming session of Congress,
it was indicated today at the District
Building.
After a thorough study of the com.
mittee's recommendations, the Com
missioners have asked j. S. Garland
superintendent of the Water Depart
ment, for a report as to what extent
the replacement of four-inch mains
and the installation OF additional fire
hydrants can be provided In the reg
uIar appropriation OF his department
during the next fiscal year. When
this information is furnished, it il
proposed to draft a bill to authorize
the Commissioners to carry out all OF
the recommendations of the commit.
tee.
Program of improvements.
Eight recommendation for improve.
ments are contained in the commit.
tees program. These include the in
stallation of a 24-inch main in B
street from Fourteenth to Seventeenth
streets and a 12-inch main in this
street from Ninth to Fourteenth
streets, a 12inch main in Tenth
street from Pennsylvania avenue to
K street. 26-inch main in NJ street
from Eleventh street to New Hamp-
shire avenue, 16-inch main in Reser-
voir street and Wisconsin avenue from
P to Thirty-fourth streets, and a 12-
inch main in Georgia avenue from
Fairmont street to Park road.
The committee also recommended
replacement of all four-inch mains
used for fire hydrants and elimina-
tion of dead ends where practicable
and long, unsupported lines of pipe
cross connected so that not more
than one hydrant will be on a six
inch main between intersecting lines,
and not more than two hydrants on
an eight-inch main between inter
secting lines and the installation of
400 additional hydrants.
Means S686,35O Outlay.
The committee estimated that $685.
$50 would be necessary to make these
improvements and thereby remove
the necessity of installing a high
pressure water system in the high
value district. This estimate, Dis
trict officials believe. can be reduced
If the Water Department uses a por-
tion of it's regular appropriation in
the next fiscal year to carry out
certain of the recommendations.

News of the signing by Federal

ask it's government to enact legisla-
