Portland Uses Only One-Third
of Available Supply.

PIPES , CAN CARRY MORE
Biggest Consumption in Any One Day
Is 17,000,000 Gallons Less Than
Capacity Mr. Daly Still TJrg-
lng City-Wide Meter Plan.
SOMK FACTS ABOUT METERS.
Portland pipelines can carry
67,000,000 gallons of water to
Tortland daily.
Portland uues less than 40.000.
00 gallons of water in a day.
The most ever used in a day was
50,000,000 gallons.
Two-thirds of Bull Run River
Roes over the spillway at the
headworks. The other third goes
into the pipelines. Five million
gallons go into the sewers at the
reservoirs daily.
The low pressure troubles are
on few hot Summer evenings.
These troubles were relieved last
Summer by alternate sprinkling'
date system and will be elimi
nated this year by big reinforce
ment mains throughout northeast
part of city.
So far Portland never has been
able to use within 17.000,000 rat
Ions of the maximum supply the
pipelines could carry in a day.
1 The greatest amount of water ever
used In Portland in a sliiKle day was
50.0JO.OOO pallons. Portland's two
Bull Run pipelines are able to bring a
total of 67.0u0.000 gallons of water to
Portland every day. When the lines
carry this amount they take up leas
than half of the water in Bull Run
River. The rest rocs over the spill
way and down Bull Run Canyon into
Sandy River and ultimately into the
Columbia. In spite of this abundance
of supply Commissioner Daly is urg-,
ing a city-wide meter scheme to cur
tail the use of water in Portland.
The average daily use of water in
Portland is considerably less than 40,
OoO.OOO gallons a day. Seldom the use
ven in Summer time amounts to 45,
000,001 gallons a day. The two pipe
lines, costinsr millions of dollars, are
able to carry about 50 per cent more
water than is used in Portland. The
lines are shut down until they carry
only sufficient water to keep the reser-
.voirs fijled and to allow about 5.000,000
gallons daily to go into the sewers.
Should Portland have need for more
-water than is now available, the Bull
Run River has a supply which would
double the present supply of 67,000,000
gallons. In other words, there is
available at the Bull Run headworks,
as they stand now. a total of three
times as much water as Portland Is
able to use. Two-thirds of the Bull
Run River is Allowed to pass the head
works, while one-third or less goes
into the pipes and reaches the reser
voirs In Portland.
With more development the flow of
the Bull Run could be increased, it is
aid. The water comes to Portland by
gravity, no pumping: being necessary.
It goes into the reservoirs and is dis
tributed from there into trunk mains
extending into all sections of the city.
These distributing mains are thor
oughly adequate the entire year, ex
cepting during the hour of what is
ailed the "peak load," which is the
hour of the hot Summer evenings when
sprinkling of lawns is on.
Last Summer this "peak load" prob
lem was solved by the alternate
sprinkling day plan. Lawns were kept
fresh and green and there was com
plaint of low pressure only in one sec
tion. This was the northeast part of
the city. A trunk main costing J113.
000 Is now being built which will en
tirely relievo the low pressure in this
entire section.
CHARTER PETITIONS OUT
Copies of Proposed Amendments Be
ing Made for Commissioners.
I Copies of the amendments to the
charter proposed by a committee from
the Peninsula district, of which W. M.
Killingsworth is the cnalrman, are be
ing prepared so that each City Com
missioner may have a copy. Mr. Shep
herd states that a new charter has not
been prepared, but that the present
charter has been amended to restore
the wards and ward representation,
there being 11 wards. The present
charter was changed, he said, to con
form to the ward representation plan.
There will be 11 Commissioners, said
Mr. Killingsworth, instead of five Com
missioners, as at present, and the gen
eral form of the present charter is re
tained. Petitions asking the Council to place
the amendments on the ballot for the
June election are being circulated and
will be presented as soon as enough
signatures have been secured to dem
onstrate that there is desire to vote
on them. At a meeting of the com
mittee Wednesday arrangements were
made to circulate the petitions.

Mil. DALY STAItTS CENSORSHIP
Commission Orders AVater Officials
to Tell Nothing' of Meters.
Having had water bureau officials
compile at considerable cost figures
and reports to use in bolstering up his
much-cherished city-wide water meter
scheme. Commissioner Daly yesterday
sealed the lips of these officials, giv
ing them strict orders not to give out
any water meter information and pro
hibiting them from being interviewed
either regarding the meaning of their
figures or statements as shown in the
reports or regarding any feature of
the operation of the water bureau.
In giving these orders Commissioner
Daly gave notice that if any informa
tion is secured regarding the water
bureau or the meters it must be se
cured from himself personally and in
writing. He will be the censor of
M'hat information is given out.
The orders were given to L. S. Kai
ser, superintendent of the water bu
reau, and Water Engineer Clarke, who
has charge of the construction work of
tbe water bureau.
" Several months ago Mr. Daly gave
orders to Water Engineer Clarke and
o Superintendent Kaiser to begin the
preparation of reports favorable to
metering of the entire city. These
reports have been completed and are
being let out gradually, or at least the
parts of them which show up in favor
of meters are being let out.
Among other reports which have
been Issued is one printed in part in
an afternoon paper several days ago.
This was compiled by Water Engineer
-Clarke to show that meters would
make unnecessary the construction of
a lot of reinforcing mains.
It was not explained in the report
as published that Engineer Clarke has
made the positive statement that the
proposed city-wide meter system
would merely hold off the time when
these reinforcing mains would have to
be built. Regardless of whether the
city is metered or not, these mains
will have to be laid sometime, he says.
Kngineer Clarke says meters are only
a temporary fixture as fir as solving
any water shortage problem Portland
mav face.
It was after the views of Mr. Clarke
nn the effect of meters were published
In The Oregonian that Mr. Daly gave
"out his order sealing the lips oi nis
water chiefs. He wants only sucn in
formation to get out as is favorable to
meters. This was the Intent In tho
published engineering report, but the
whole thing was snanerea uy ml
"Clarke's subsequent statement when
interviewed that meter; merely would
'.stave off the time when reinforcing
mains would be necessary and would
not eliminate permanently the need
- for them.
