The Water Commission last night or
dered q, 900 to be paid to the three
Democratic Attorneys who defended
the Water Commission before the Court
of Chsncery. Some time ago the City
Council paid the attorneys Of the other
side e. 900 for defending the city in the
same question. The city also paid the
go, 900 water tax imposed by the Water
Commission. The Water Commission
ers them selves are paid $500 salary,
none too much by the way, but too
much while 1t could have been entirely
avoided.
The Chief Engineer is said TO be paid
$500 more than the salary paid under
the City Council manage ent. An adj
ditional clerk and water detective
cost to the city of some d, 700, and last
night $50 was paid for opening set OF
account books for the use OF the Com
mission, and besides the back salary of
the Chief Engineer was $1,000 All
these accounts added make an aggre-
gate of S29, 100 that the tax payers of
the city had TO meet for the sake alone
of putting the Water Commission on
its feet. The great object Of the Com
mission was to put the present Chief
Engineer of the Water Department

people had displaced him in the cleo

A bookstore that makes
its own book prices needs a
newspaper to print them.
And people that look to that
bookstore tor books want
the paper that prints the pri-
ces. Book News is your
market report as well as crit
ical reader. You find in it
not only what your book
amounts to in the estimation
OF somebody who has read
| it, perhaps on purpose to give
you his counsel. but also you
find what it costs.
What a book costs is a
question # circumstances.
In our bookstore you look
in Book NEWS, or on the
hy-leaf OF the book. In
another book store you ask
and get looked at, and guess
ed at, and told some price
or other and, il you object,
you get told a little less, and
then you get looked at and
guessed at again until you
wish you were safely out O.:
that bookstore.
Book News has taken on
new life just now. There is
on every page OF the Febru-
a'y number the cheerful air
of an enterprise passed be-
yond the doubtful stage and
fairly on its confident way.
The only apology we feel
constrained to make tor it is
about the pri e.

III there were no other reason to con-
vince the minds of the members of the
Legislature than the request of twelve
members Of the City Council that no
addition should DO made TO the public
debt Of the city of Wilmington, the
fact that the vote upon the measure
WAS purely partisan should be sufficient.
Twelve Democrats are in favor of add
ing one hundred thousand dollars to the
permanent debt Of the city which al.
ready reaches q million and . half of
dollars, and eleven Republicans in the
City Council voted against the meas-
ure. Twelve Democrats appeal TO
