Water System Survey
Shows Fiscal Ineouity.

The survey of the District water
system as authorized by the 1893
District OF Columbia appropriation
bill has supplied some definite in
formation which should prove USE
full to civic leaders and officials in
study of the fiscal relations be-
tween the District and the United
States Government. While the re-
port OF the commission credits the
United States with having paid
about "a per cent of the money
which has gone into this plant
since it was begun in 1859. its
water has always been supplied
free.
The present showing is that free
water amounting to about 18 per
cent of the entire consumption goes
to the United States, and per
cent to the government of the Dis
trict of Columbia Another 4 per
cent goes free to charitable insti-
tutions under authorizations by
Congress. This makes a total of
about % per cent of the water upon
which there is no financial return,
While the press reports of the
survey do not indicate whether any
part of the funds paid by the Fed
eral Government are now out of
the picture through obsolescence.
it is believed that such a condition
exists to considerable extent. All
recent additions 10 the plant have
been financed entirely out of the
funds derived from the users Of
water and without any participa-
ton by the Federal Government.
The survey shows that there
must continue to be expansion of
the system, which will require con-
siderable money. Existing water
rates the report states, ARE ade-
quate to cover not only operating
expenses, but also depreciation ac-
cruals, but are insufficient to
finance proposed major additions to
the system"
Then comes a very interesting
part of the report. which Is here
quoted. IF authorities deem it ap-
propriate for the subscribers now
charged for water to provide reve-
nues sufflcient for proposed future
capital Improvements in addition
to current operating expenses, then
existing water rates must be in
creased approximately ~ per cent,
as outlined in the tentative rate
schedule appended"
An interesting feature of this
problem is that as the system is
extended and the number of con-
sumers increased the cost to the
consumers is to be at an increased
rate. In the case Of the various
public service corporations, the

quarters of the Sd Army Corps Area
at Baltimore calling attention to the
point that there is no legal objection
for a Guard unit to hold more drills
than those for which Federal pay is
provided The selection of a par
ticular drill for which pay is claimed
is left to the State authorities, pro-
vided that not more than eight drills
for which pay is claimed are held in
any one month and that the re-
strictions as to the total number to
be held during the year is not exceeded
and that the minimum number per
quarter required by the War Depart
ment is held.
However, the corps area commander
says that in fairness to all concerned
the drills for which Federal pay will
be claimed should be designated be-
fore the drill is held and not after
ward. If the latter practice is fol-
lowed. he said. those enlisted men who
have attended drill for which no
pay is provided and have been un-
able to attend drill for which pay
is claimed. will feel unjustly aggrieved
and the morale of the unit will suffer
accordingly. It is desired. therefore,
that schedules of pay drills be fur
nished to the unit instructors either
monthly or quarterly and prior to the
fifst drill for the period.
