CHIEF ENGINEER CAssIN says, that
he will guarantee under forfeiture 10
find purchaser for our water WORKS |
inside of a week at the sum of $500 |
If the town will sell. Our Commission
ers are of course taking no bats of this
kind, reserving whatever advantages
| there are in it for the town, but it can
not be otherwise than qualification to
them to know that the water
works will command in the financial
market one third more than their act
ual cost to the town.
THE effort of the Cedar Creek Marsh
Company to dam out the water that
Overhows some $500 acres of land at
Collins Beach and repair the public
road leading thereto, to aid which the
Lew Court of New Castle county is to
appropriate 1000, it is stated is opposed
by VIM. Reybold the owner of the
Collins Beach property, on the ground
that it is interfering with or trespasslng
on his property. Should Mr.. ReybOld

3 THE singers in the "Cantata of the
r | lawmakers" had their final rehearsal
last night which was in every way sat
isfactory, and if they do as well to-
e night as they doubtless will, the per-
n formance of the evening, will be en-
: tirely satisfactory to Prof Wyatt, theil
- instructor. We are pleased to state
= that the large sale of tickets already
insures a financial success. The tund'
10 it will be recOllected are to be approprl
l.. ated to an organ fund for the M. r
.. Church. The present organ, as thOs
know who attend the church
OF worn out, and the necessity of a neV
lie organ is imperative. For this reasol
ID if for no other, the Haymakers shoul'
in have large patronage, but we can as
sure the attendants besides rare mt
~ sical treat.
