University professor, says he will
demand a hearing on the Army's
action in refusing him permission
to visit Japan.
Announcing the action yester-
day, the Army said it was based
ION present policies and regula-
tions" but that a review of the
decision is being made. The Army
controls movements into and out
of Japan as part of it's occupation
duties.
At Palo Alto, Calf, Mr.. Fair
bank said he had planned to do
years research in Japan. He is a
professor of modern Chinese his
tory.
Mr.. Fairbank attributed the
Army action to what he called

TINE HEAVY afternoon
l. traffic sped along a we'll

teenth street NV. The street,
at that point, is lined with
costly, well-kept homes and
ultra modern apartments.
Television aerials glisten from
many roofs.
That seems the best way of
emphasizing the point that
there was every evidence Of

modern setting-a girl, help

tling throwback to an era
of almost 100 years ago when
wells, springs and cisterns
supplied water for the Nations
Capital.
The city's present system
was turned on In 1859, when
water from Little Falls Branch
began coursing through un-
der-street pipes. At first,
service was largely to the
downtown area and Govern
ment buildings, but as the
system grew, more and more
househoiders tapped into the
mains.
BY 1871, more than 1000
consumers had installed run
ming water" and In 1900.
when the city's population
was about 100000. there were
1880 outlets supplying ass

District Still Has 100 Wells
Behind It's Modern Facade

teenth street NV. The prof.
ect marked the start of an
underground system of wooden
pipes that carried water from
a number of downtown springs
into various sections.
Probably the most notable
of these springs was one in
Franklin Square, described as
being Of excellent quality
and inexhaustible supply"
It's water was piped to the
White House, Treasury and
State Department in 1929.
There were a number of
hydrants along its route and
the surplus flowed into a lake
at Thirteenth and I streets

The systems big expansion
came after 1905 when i'm
proved filtration and purifica-
ton methods finally cleared
the water of mud and eels.
Running water soon was taken
for granted, but-surprising
as it may be-there still are
about 100 wells In the District.
Health Department records
show there were about ESQ
wells and a few springs in use
as recently as two years ago,
but most of them probably
were capped after their users
were warned the water was
unsafe. The majority of those
still used are in sections where
the Water Department, for
various reasons, has been un-
able to extend service. Most
of them are east of the Ana
costa River, although there
probably are a few in the
Northwest section and pos
sibly some in Foggy Bottom.
The records of those that
have been capped are not
complete.
Water Department officials
believe, however, that all
wells can be eliminated in
the next three years. If so,
it will mark the completion
of an undertaking started in
1909 when it was first realized
that furnishing water was q
governmental obligation.
