FUND DELAY STOPS
WATER MAIN WORK
Department Slows Activity
Pending Passage of
District Bill.

The District water department today
found itself in stringent financial cir
cumstances because of the failure of
Congress to pass the 1881 appropriation
bill.
The departments construction fund,
used for service extensions, is exhaust
ed, and the maintenance appropriation
is barely sufficient to provide emergency
repairs and requirements, which may
became necessary before the close of
the current fiscal year on June 80.
Construction work has been COM
pletely halted and nearly 200 per diem
workers laid off temporarily, a skeleton
maintenance force is being maintained,
however, but on a f1ve-day-a-week
schedule.
AS the water departments construc-
ton fund becomes available Immediately
upon the signing of the appropriation
bill by the President, it had anticipated
its 1881 appropriations several months
ago. The bill however, is tied up in
conference, with no definite indication
of when it might pass. AS result the
water departments 1881 construction
program must be held in abeyance.
Unable to Start Work.
The policy of making the depart
ment's construction funds available in
advance of the fiscal year has enabled
it to begin the succeeding years pro-
gram several months ahead of new
fiscal year. Thus it was prepared IN
April to begin work on the projects
provided in the 1881 bill, but the de-
partment has been unable to proceed
on account of the delay.
The departments maintenance fund
is budgeted for the 12-month period
and its shortage at this time is due
primarily to an unexpected outlay dur
ing the year for operating the Bryant
street pumping station, which is main
tanned on a reserve basis. The aux
| iliary pumping station was pressed into
service for more than six months, due
to break in the first high-serV1ce
| main when it was put under the new
M Street Bridge across Rock Creek
| The station also was operated several
| times during periods of peak consump-
| ton to maintain sufficient pressure ir
Mount Pleasant.
| AlCIOuRn LIle COIlSII uSGlOIl 4Illo Il
depleted, the department has used it
| dWindling maintenance fund to make
several temporary service connections
| in outlying sections. These temporary
connections are made by running 6
small pipe on the surface of the grounc
| from the nearest main to the house
connection.
To Reinforce Mains.
D. w. Holton, superintendent of the
water department, said that as soon as
| the appropriation bill is passed the fur
| loughed employees will be called back to
work and the construction program
| started vigorously. One of the first
projects will be reinforcement of the
mains in the fourth high-service area
| in Tenleytown and vicinity, where
pressure is low at periods of peak con-
sumption on account of so-called bottle
| necks" in the existing system.
| Apartment houses in the Tenleytown
section have felt the effect of the re-
duced pressure, Mr. Holton said, and
arrangements have been made to press
fire engine into service to keep uI
pressure when it shows tendency to
drop.

Believe Candidate Will Be
Stronger Against Bailey
Than Simmons.
PRITCHARD AND BUTLER
FIGHT FOR NOMINATION
Early Returns Show Nip-and-T Tuck
Run Between Two Leaders in
Four-Way Race.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Republicans are to make a
strenuous effort to elect Senator in
North Carolina to succeed Senator
Simmons, according to reports today.
The defeat of Senator Simmons in
the Democratic primary Saturday by
Josiah w. Bailey, takes the veteran
Democratic leader out of the race. The
belief has existed in some Republican
quarters that it would be easier to elect
a Republican in a race with Bailey than
in a race with Senator Simmons.
Political observers are of the opinion
that North Carolina will elect Mr.
Bailey to the Senate when November
rolls round. They point out that Sem
ator Simmons already has let it be
known that he does not intend to run
as an independent and that he will not
oppose the regular Democratic ticket.
The nominee of the Republicans for
the Senate is still undetermined, al
though the Republicans held a State
wide primary on Saturday, as we'll as
the Democrats. Four Republican candi-
dates were in the field. The returns,
however, in the Republican primary,
are not in.
Believe Pritchard Will Win.
Here in Washington, North Caro-
linians expressed the opinion today that
Representative George M. Pritchard, of
the tenth district, would in the end
receive the nomination. The early re-
turns gave George E. Butler, brother of
former Senator Marion Butler, slight
lead in the Republican primary, but the
expectation Is that Pritchard will over
come this lead and win. Pritchard is
the son of a former Senator from North
Carolina. He created quite a stir in
Washington after his election to the
present Congress when he declined to
be assigned an Office in the House Office
Building next to Representative De
Priest, the Colored Representative from
illinois,
The defeat Of Senator Simmons by
more than 10000 votes in the Demo-
cratic primary was interpreted at the
Capitol today as punishment for
bolting the national Democratic ticket
