MOROCCO MEN pRoTesT
They Meet and Protest Against An In-
crease In the water Rate

-
Last evening a number Of Leading
morocco men held meeting at the
Clayton House. Among those present
were Daniel Pierson, manager for f.
Blumenthal q Co., Joha q. Baker.
Charles Baird, W. j. McLesr. Charles
Jones. James $. Dobb, J. Parke Postlas
and l. T Quigley.
The meeting WIS presided over by
John G. Baker.
1t was called for the purpose Of taking
into consideration the attitude sssum
towards the morocco firms by the Water
Commissioners.
1t is well-known that great amount
OF water is used around morocco factories
TO carry away the refuse and In other
work. II has been the custom Of the board
to make the assessment upon the num-
Der Of faucets used and the horse power Of
the boiler. The water guardians became
convinced that the assessment was too
small for the water used and contended
that there was mush waste Accoi d
ingly, in the newer factories IL
inaugurated she water metre and
charged by the gallon. The
proprietors found that the bills for water
were too large for their profits and sew
ersl OF Them protested against II and In
one or two instances refused to pay their
bills.
The other manufacturers, seeing that
there was disposition upon the part OF
the commissioners to extend this metre
system to all such places Of business, de-
termined to meet and protest against
such &C ion. 1t was for this purpose that
the meeting was held last evening
The proceedings were informal, but
the matter WAS fully and
freely discussed The sentiment
expressed was decidedly against any in
crease in the water rate.
Whether the Wilmington Morocco
Manufacturers Association will take
formal action In the matter Is not known.
