CHEVY CHASE, MD., TO CONNECT ITS WATER SYSTEM
WITH THAT OF DISTRICT OF COL UMBIA.
MARCH 20, 1908.-Ordered to be printed.
Mr. GALIuNGER, from the Committee on the District of Columbia,
submitted the following
REPORT.
[To accompany S. 4107.]
The Committee on the District of Columbia, to whom was referred
the bill (S. 4107) to authorize the town of Chevy Chase, Md., to con-
nect its water system with the water system of the District of Colum-
bia, having considered the same, report thereon with a recommendation
that it pass.
From the point of view of the interests of the District of Columbia,
there does not seem to be any objection to permitting the use of the
water suggested, as it is provided in the bill that such use will be
authorized only when the Commissioners find, in their discretion, that
the interests of the consumers of water in the District of Columbia
will not suffer thereby.
The bill also provides that the town of Chevy Chase shall make an
annual-payment for such privilege, the amount of same to be fixed by
the Commissioners of the District of Columbia from time to time in
their discretion, and bear the expense necessary for connecting its
water system with the water distribution system of the District of
Columbia.
