who will be so dressed as to show to
advantage the peculiar shape of their
pedal extremities.

WILMINGTON, June II, 5-Honordble
Charles II. JGBeriS. .Hdyor-elcot. DEAR SIR
The undersigned, representing, as a com
mittee on municipal appointments, the
business Mems Republican Club, would
respectfully urge upon your attention the
importance OF keeping up the tone Of the
departments of the city government to the
hlgh standard at which they were orgi-
mated. Not only were they proposed to be
strictly non-partisan, but the highest order
OF business talent was sought for in max
ing these appointments. How successfully
TINS was carried out, we all know. The
business OF these departments has been
conducted OH broad. but at the same
time, an economical basis, so that they are
not only the pride of our citizens and the
admiration of other cities, but are great
incentive to increasing the population and
the business of Wilmington.
Especially is this the case with the Water
Department, which having been longer in
operation than either of the others has
been able to carry out their plans Of i'm
provement, and now furnish the purest
water ut minimum of expense. We are
az aware of the important part which
William L. Porter, the president of the
water Department. has had in this work.
With great public spirit he has given his
time and talents to the perfection of the
system and has had a very prominent part
m bringing It to its present admirable con.
dtion.
As you are aware Mr.. Porter's term ex-
pres July list, and we respectfully and
earnestly request that you reappoint him
to this position.
