Water Commissioners and Park Commits
sioners Quarrel over the Ownership OF
Stones.
The Water Commissioners and the
Park Commissioners are st loggerheads
over the taking of stones from the
Brandy wine Park to build the new race
walls there Daniel Dohl is the contrac
tor for the building Of the wall, which is
being done by the water commissioners,
aud he had instructions to use certain
stones and cut down a number of trees In
the execution OF his work The Park
Commissioners forbade him the use of
the stones, and the Water Commissioners
ordered him second time TO go accord
ing to their instructions.
Last Monday DOLL proceeded to collect
the stones and cut down the trees, as
directed, and an officer OF the Park Com
mission tried to stop him Dohl refused
and the officer threatened to have him
arrested. The threat was not carried
into execution, as the Park Commission
ers decided to await the meeting of the
Water Commissioners last evening, when
the matter migh be discussed.
President William NJ. Candy of the Park
Commission appeared before the Board of
Water Commissioners last night and
stated his objections to the proposed
action Of their employee He did not so
much object to the taking Of the stones
as he did to cutting down the trees
Colonel Febiger answered that the
trees which had been cut down were the
property Of the Water Department, and
the commissioners could do with them as
they pleased. He also said: Il have
here deed for quarry in the centre OF
the park, and If the employees Of the de-
partment are again threatened or dis
turbed by the officers OF the Park
Commission, the board will open that
quarry
President Csnby-"The public would
not stand the opening of a quarry In the
centre of the park
Colonel Febiger-"The public has
nothing to do with the matter"
When President William T. Porter saw
that both sides we're about to stand on
their dignity he came to tina rescue with
proposal for reconciliation The wall
he said would have to be built, and 1t was
better that there should be an under.
standing on the matter Mr. Candy
agreed that the departments should
work In harmony instead of being at log
gerheads. There was, he said, a quarry In
the park which the Water Commissioners
might use. Finally Messrs Porter and
Candy were appointed arbitrators TO NEE;
and settle the matter.
