The Districts Water Department
was buzzing today with a problem
that normally wouldn't excite it in
the least.
Department engineers received a
trouble call yesterday from the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. There
was a broken water main on Penn
sylvania avenue in front of the
Archives Building, near Seventh
street NV. Pepcois men had hit 1t
as they we're digging to lay a new
power line. 49,.
But there wasn't any flood. The
main, of stout pine logs, probably
hadn't carried a drop of. water for
more than century.
The Pepco crew accidentally had
uncovered one of Washington's first
mains, laid in all likelihood, in 1902
when most Washingtonians still
were drawing their water from wells
and springs, according to Water
Supt. David Aud. If Mr.. Auld was
right, it had been buried, undis-
turbed, for nearly as long as the
Nation is old.
Condition Surprisingly Good.
Despite their age, the is logs, ex-
cavated one by one yesterday by
the workmen, were in surprisingly
good condition, Mr.. Auld reported
Retrieved with them we're several
wrought-iron joints used to con-
meet the logs, but Mr.. Auld managed
to acquire only one of these. The
rest repeatedly were seized by SOU
venir- seeking passersby.
Fire Marshal r. C. Roberts was
one of these. Driving up in his Of
fetal car, he pointed to one of the
|excavated logs and asked Pepco
foreman Joseph Keegin to save
fpiece of it for him.

[eoionnaires Asked
To Maryland Hearing
On Job Legislation
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.-State anc
American Legion officials were in
vited to appear before the Maryland
Legislative Council today to give
their view on veterans provisions
contained In the merit system law
There was criticism recently or
the way veterans preference works
under the law setting up job classi-
f1cations and rights of State
employees.
Some persons have contended that
provisions give the veteran unfair
advantage over older State employees
and other sections discriminate
against him.
The council also was to resume
discussion of a proposal, approved
by it's Finance Committee yesterday
to bring employees of the income
tax and alcoholic beverages divi-
sions of the State controllers office
under the merit system.
Orphan Court Bill Approved.
Other matters dealing WIN the
system generally also were up for
discussion.
At other Council committee meet
ings yesterday:
The judiciary group approved a
suggested bill for abolition of Mary
lands Orphans Courts. A similar
measure was defeated at the l947
session of the General, Assembly.
The Committee on Finance and
Budget decided to obtain more in
formation about proposal to set
up State board of vocational
licensing before taking vote on
the matter.
The Committee on Elections and
Corrupt Practices held a general
discussion at which Senator Strom-
berg, Democrat, of Howard County
outlined the work before the group
New Study of Declarations Act.
He said the committee will make
another study of the controversial
Declarations of Intentions Act, under
which persons coming to Maryland
from other States must certify at
least a year before they register to
vote that they intend to become
residents of Maryland.

Pine-Log Water Main of Early
18th Century DC. Is Uncovered

THAT log has the grandfather of
our fire plugs in It," declared the
marshal as he pointed to block of
wood protruding from its top. THE
location of those plugs used to be
marked on the surface so they could
be opened in an emergency" he
explained. adding With scorn, These
things we have nowadays aren't
really fire plugs at all"
Exact Date Uncertain.
Authority for Mr.. Auld's guess on
the date of the mains installation
was P. o. Mcqueen, chief of the
Design Section, Washington Aque-
duct, and the departments special
list in historical matters. Consult
ing his maps and other venerable
sources, Mr.. Mcqueen came up with
description of such a main that
in 1902, conveyed water from the
Old City Spring, located on the
north side of C street between
Four and Half and Sixth streets
NV, to various houses on Penn
sylvania avenue and Woodward's S
Tavern"
Mr.. Mcqueen isn't positive, how
ever. 1t might have been the line
installed in 1909 that carried water
from the Caffrey Spring, on the
north side of F street between Ninth
and Tenth streets NV, to the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue al
Twelfth. This one was one-third
financed by the city, Mr.. Auld noted
the first recorded municipal water
main in the Nations Capital.
Even that could be wrong, Mr.
Auld conceded. He thinks there are
other wooden mains under Penn
sylvania avenue, because pieces OF
them were discovered when the
Federal Triangle was under con-
struction more than a decade ago
