Tho Peculiar Request Made of City De.
partment by the Concord Turnpike

Tho Peculiar Request Made of City De-
partment by the Concord Turnpike
People.
AS is understood the Street and Sewer
Department has for the past few weeks
been engaged digging and delving away
at the new streets in connection with
the extension of Washington street, the
other side of the bridge and of those
streets crossing the Concord pike in
connection with the street Improvements
there.
At one of these pike crossings very
considerable grade was met and had to
be cut down. The Concord pike owners
saw that the gravel would be of great
advantage to them in filling up the sum
mer road at that point. This is the case,
as it is several feet below the winter or
regular road and is indeed menace to
drivers OF vehicles passing along the
pike. The Street Department, which is
endeavoring to accomplish the work
with as great economy as is possible
under the circumstance, saw that it
would be great expense in carriage to
draw the large quantity of gravel away
to any distance. Besides in that region
there is sufficiency of gravel for all
purposes.
Accordingly the request of the Con-
cord pike people was granted. The
latter were delighted at the opportunity
of obtaining so much good road building
material for nothing.
But the reader may judge of the feel
ings Of the department engineer in
charge on the receipt of message from
the Concord pike authorities asking
whether "the city would not be good
enough also to send men and carts to
shovel the gravel in and build up the
summer road"

Representatives From the City DEPART
ments Meet the Marsh Owners--Respon-
sibilities Defined, But No Bank In View.
Representatives from the various city
departments were in conference Tues
day with the Cherry Island Marsh
owners.
The whole question of responsibility
in the premises was gone over. There
was nothing accomplished towards
meeting the question of repairing the
river bank or anything stated in regard
towards a movement in that direction.
The meeting was held in the Mouseley
building, at the corner of Elliott avenue
and Market street. Street Directors
Gawthrop and Moore were there for the
Street and Sewer Department. DIR. A.
3. Frantz for the Board of Health.
James 2. Ratledge was the only mem
Der of City Council present. There
was a good representation of marsh
owners, including William f. Sellers,
William Bright, William Lawton,
Charles w. Talley and Eli Mendiuhall.
William Lawton stated the case of
the marsh owners. He said they had
been keeping the banks in repair for
many years at great expense, and now
in relation to the value Of the property
are almost bankrupted. That is to say
the value has been eaten up by repair
expenses. He thought the city is inter.
ested in the matter In regard to the
large share Of the property which is
within the city limits. The city has
made expenditures for its marsh
property in South Wilmington.
DIR. Frantz, speaking from hygienic
point of view, seemed to think there is
no danger to the city's health from the
daily inflow and outflow OF the tide in
contiguity to residences and on the city
property. AT any rate it is not so in the
winter months. The Board of Health
could not act in the direction of demand
for abatement of nuisance until il was
shown that the overflow is dangerous to
the health OF the citizens.
For the City Council Mr.. Ratledee
was not ready to make a statement In
regard to what method should be pur.
sued. He believed, however, that the
banks should be repaired now.
Street and Sewer Director Enoch
Moore had ideas as to the advantage to
health of persons making their habita-
ton on marsh lands. He gave illus
trations to show that human semi
amphiblans do not always contract dis.
eases and die.
Director Gawthrop said that as there
appear to DO no streets nor natural water
courses in the region under considera-
ton he could not sec the interest his de-
partment had in the matter. He was
willing that If II eau be shown that the
department. is responsible in any degree
for the foundations he is willing that
the Street and Sewer Department bears
its share of the expenditure necessary
to remedy the trouble to the extent that
II Is responsible. If city streets were
flooded the department would fill them
up to proper grade, and the property
owners on each side Of the street could
fill up their land to tho level of the
street. The meeting then adjourned.

Many Grotesque Figures Fitted About
the Streets Tuesday Evening and Many
Tricks Were Played.
The small boy was in clover Tuesday
evening. 1t was Halloween, festival
which the average boy looks forward TO
with much joy, and thousand and one
devices were used to celebrate the event.
While the festival was not as generally
observed as formerly, there was plenty
of fun for the children, and they were
allowed to pursue their own sweet will.
No one cared to interfere with their
frolic and everyone remembered the
time when he had engaged in just such
innocent frolIc, and the boys were given
the widest latitude.
"Fick-tacks" were placed on doors
and windows and small pebbles and
coarse shot were hurled against the
houses at repeated intervals. Door
bells were pulled in accordance with an
old custom, but by far the most hideous
noise was made by the magic spool rub
bling against the window. There were
many masquerade parties and many
queer figures observed in the streets and
the small boy was happy.

They Have TO Give up Their Meditated
New Toll-Gate and the Merry Toll
Jumpers Drive Around by Eastlake In
the Old Way.
The Philadelphia turnpike people are
outwitted again. The company has
long resented the action of drivers of
vehicles who are continually avoiding
the toll-gate tax in driving around by
Eastlake, and thus saving the light pc
cuniary interview with tho toll-keeper
on the pike opposite the Riverview base.
ball grounds.
Recently the turnpike company made
up its mind that il would checkmate
this avoidance of tribute by the farmers
and wagon drivers of Brandywine and
Wilmington in the little trick of just
moving the toll-gate wee bit higher up
the road, just sufficient to catch the
stream Of vehicles coming out on the
pike road from Eastlake.
Orders were given. The location for
the new toll-gate fixed and employees Of
the company commenced digging the cell
lar for the toll-keeper's new house on the
roadside. A fine, capacious cellar hole
was commenced and finished. The merry
wagon drivers heard the news with
sorrow. But the workmen went on
with the job of building the new toll
gate house.
Suddenly one morning the owner of
the property alongside the road where
the cellar was being dug came along
and remarked to the man bosslng the
job:
II guess you had better stop thatp
"WhyW added the boss with some
thing like an amused laugh.
swell, don't you see," added the
gentleman, eff you continue your work,
and build up that house its walls will
be exactly in front OF the parlor win
dows of the fine residence that propose
to erect right herem And the property
owner made an emphatic dig of his left
foot right on the land where the future
villa residence was looming up in his
minds eye.
This caused the contractor to reflect.
But the men went on with their work.
They did not, however, resume the next
morning. The matter was reported to
the turnpike authorities, who saw the
legal strength of the remonstrant's posi-
ton. IL Is understood that the company
tried another location for toll-gate
building still higher up the road. But
the same objections were presented by
the prOperty-Owner there. And this
has been repeated several different times.
AT one point it is understood the turn
pike company tried to persist in build
ing gate.house. This persistence was
met by an injunction. And the project
was dropped like hot cakes.
1t looks now as ii the company is left
out in the cold. They can have gate,
but they cannot have house.
But where would be the Joys of col
lecting toll without the seignorage of
gate house to take refuge in. No self
respecting toll-gate keeper would brave
the hardships Of winter without COM
Portable dollhouse.
The company cannot build on the
other side of the road because they have
surrendered all rights along that stretch
to the Wilmington city railway and the
electric track could not be INSTRUCTED
with any such structure as toll-gate.
SO this is how the matter stands now
and vehicles of all kinds are driving I'M

future outlook Of unhindered indulgence
