THE BOARD OF HEALTH "LErs UP"
ONCE MORE ON T sE PoIsONERs OF
The BRANDYwINE WATER, BUT GET
THEN TO, PRoMIsE TO COMMENCE
LAYING A PIPE IN THE SPRING.
When President Monaghan called the
Board OF Health to order last night he
stated the business before The meeting,
which was to settle the question laid
over from the last stated meeting to con-
slider whether TO push the case against
Bancroft Il Sons or to give them more
time. tf .....,--r lfs .ssl
"Mr. Presldent," said clerk Frazer,
~ have a communication fiom the
Messrs. Bancroft; will the Board have 1t
read 2" fff 'a' 10
The communication was ordered To be
read; it is a. follows:
ROCKFORD, 9th NO., 9Th, 1879.
To the Board of Health of the City Of
Wilmington: ...g ..i
We wish to assure the members of the
ROard of Health of our willingness to
lay q pipe for the purpore of carry ing the
dissolved ater from our dye works to q
point In the BraDdywine below that
from which the city draws Its supply Of
water. '-''t '' ''-f
To deliver it into such q sewer as has
been proposed, would probably cost VI
less, and the pipe be less likely TO be
damaged or interfered with by freshets
than If carried across to the north side Of
the creek. et,.. 49, .....,. ......-
II the city authorities shall continue u
desire that such disposition of the mat
ter shall be made, we will, supposinf
that the City Council will by that tint
have decided in relation to q sewer, ain
to 60 at the work promptly in the spring
and expect to have the pipe laid by III,
time the sewer is completed; ORR we ar,
to empty the drainage into the norti
race or into the stream below the thirs
dam, by early in the summer. II It 4
not to be put into a sewer, we will b,
glad to bave the cooperation of tn
city authorities in deciding where tn
delivery had best be made. Respect
fully,
Jos. BANCROFT Sons.
Mr.. Bennett moved the cemmunica
ton be accepted and recorded; advp' cd
Mr.. Bennett then moved that the case
pending at Newcastle against Bancroi
& Sons be postponed until it be seel
what City Council will do in regard t
erecting sewer on the south side q
the Brandywine. H,'. .a u.t
The motion was not made In any
thing like the shape 1t 10 given abov
and clerk Frazer had to state the motto
twice during the time intervening be
fore the vote was taken In order tbs
the members might understand it.
Col. Singley opposed the motion say
ing that the Board of Health had no a!
surance that City Council would bull
the sewer, as only a survey had bee
ordered 1t seemed to him like riskiR
much on little. If the Me srs. Bar
crOfts were going to lay pipe, th
Board of Health was the proper body
designate where that pipe shou d term
nate, and further, the Bancrofls coul
C mmence laying the pipe now as we
as at any other time.
One OF the young Mr.. Brancrofts the
asked permission to make suggestio
t., the Board which was granted him
at least a two-thirds vote of the men
bers.
