FIRE PLUG CAUSES ROW
War Between Water Depart
ment and P, w. & B. R. r. Co.
HAD TO GALL IN THE POLICE
FOREMAN OF RAILROAD GANG
ORDERED THE WORK TO STOP.
BUT THE FOREMAN OF THE
PIPE GANG REFUSED


The appeal of the residents over
Eleventh street bridge for better
water Facilities, and the hearkening to
the appeal by the Water Department
came near causing a big row between
the employees Of the department and
those OF the p, w. & B. Railroad Com
pany.
The inadequacy of the water supplv
over Eleventh street bridge has been
the source of mach complaint on the
part Of the residents. as well as the
heads Of the Fire Department One
small six-inch main was the sole sup
ply for that part of the city. The
Water Department decided to lay a
sixteen-inch main on Claymont street.
down Fourteenth street to the
arilroad, where a hre-plug was
to be placed on the south
side Of the railroad tracks.
RAILROAD COMPANY OBJECTS.
When It became known that tho
Water Department considered laying
the big main and putting fire-psug on
the south side of the track It brought
forth strenuousopposition from therail-
road company. The placing Of the
fire-pug would necessitate the tracks
being undermined, and IL would prob
ably result in the railroad company
having to make unwarranted repairs
TO the track. When the railroad Off
clals learned OF the disposition OF the
main, they filed objections, but, not
withstanding these, the Water DEPART
ment went on preparing to carry out
plans contemplated.
Yesterday afternoon preparations
were begun, and the railroad company
had a force OF men on hand to pre-
vent the digging for the pipe The
Water Department, however showed
nodispOsitiOn to go on with the work,
leaving It to be started this morning.
POLICE ON GUARD.
Last night Chief Engineer Bond, OF
the Water Department, appealed to
Captain Kane for police protection, and
Captain Kane detailed Sergeant of Po-
lice Lucas with a squad of police TO
prevent trouble. Bright and early the
employees OF the Water Department
/ started to carry out their program.
! When the first pick was put In the
ground the foreman OF the railroad
gang objected and ordered the work to
stop. The foreman OF the pipe ganl
refused. The presence OF the bluecoatE
and the determination OF the water
employees TO lay the pipe, evidently
~ awed the railroad men, and they lef
the scene. Had there been trouble thu
= bluecOats would have arrested the en-
tire railrdad force.
l. IT'S ALL FIXED NOW,
