rnE FoUNrAIN SOCIETY.
Appeal to the Citizens for Aid in til
Philnnthropic Work.

Philanthropic Work.
The present spell of hot weather
would suggest the need Of making
certain the continuous running Of the
public fountains.
The Wilmington Fountain Society
would very much like to add three or
four new fountains to those they already
have in use, but being barely able to
keep the latter up they now feel that it
is almost an impossibility to increase the
number unless the public respond more
literally to the society's need.
The fountain in the Ninth ward was
run into three or four years ago and SO
broken as to render it entirely useless,
and the society has not been able to
replace it as yet, leaving that section
without accommodation.
The fountain al the Delaware Avenue
Baptist Church was run into few days
ago and so broken as to require expeu-
diture for heavy plumbing bill The
society is very much discouraged at
the apathy of the public in general and
the herse-owners in particular, to the
necessity of contributing to its support
A little thought upon the subject is
suggested, and the society respectfully
asks all who can to make yearly con.
tribution of So for membership in the
Wilmington Fountain Society. The
sum may be sent to William Poole
treasurer, Sixth and Market streets.
