' London, Sept 4. (By the Associated Press.) The reply of the Irish Bepub lican Parliament to Prime Minister Lloyd George's latest communication re jects the British government's proposals for the settlement of the Irish question on the ground that they are not based on a dominion status for Ireland. It leaves the way open for further nego tlations, however, by offering at once to appoint plenipotentiaries on the basis of tho principle or government tiy con sent of ths governed. The reply, which is addressed to Mr. Lloyd George and signed by Kamond De Valera, was given out at th Prime Minister's official residence tonight. The text of th communication follows: Text of Beply "We, too, are convinced it is essen tial. that some 'definite and immediate progress should be : isde toward a basis upon which further negotiations can usefully proceed," and recognise the futility of 'a mere exchange' of argu mentative not. I shsll, therefore, re frain from commenting on the falla eioua historical references in your last communication. Th preaent ia the re ality with which we have to deal.

This waa the plan adopted and it would have been carried out had not th abandon ment of the ramp halted all operations. The proposed dam would have extend ed the limits of the lake, running the margin of it up to th Avent Jerry Road. 'There seems to be no question about the sufficiency of the rainfall oa the Lake.RaleiKh water shed." Mayor Eld ridge said." The problem is bow to cstch this water, and hold it in reserve against the needs of th city. As a matter of fact, in certain soasons of the year immense amounts of water sTe wssted st Lake Raleigh because it flows over the dam." Other Alternative Mayor Eldridge ia not satisfied that the artesian wall souecs for th city water supply has been proved unsatia- factory or inadequate for an additional supply for Raleigh. Hs points out that three miles or less .beyond Lak K.v lish is Yate s Pond and a splendid site for an impounding reservlor large enough to accomodate a city of greater proportions than Raleigh. Moreover, ha pointa out additional dams oh Lake Ra leigh, at spota which bare already been suggested as admirable for the purpose, there is ia available recourse. ''Before w go to Neus River, put ting upon th pcoplo an immense bond issue, and a maintenance expens which must be met out of taxes, w ahsuld exhaust every possible way of making the present system meet th needs of tbe present and the next few years." he declared.
