1000 damages for personal injuries to the

District is the remote cause of the injuries
sustained by Mrs. Swart because a horse

thereby greatly injured.

two large excavations made, one on each
side of the street. These excavations, ii is
stated, are five feet-iong, twelve feet deep
and eighteen inches in width. The earth
taken from the street, it is alleged, was
piled up and had the effect of frightening
horses which passed that way; and that on
the date mentioned in this complaint. the

THE TOWER
PLANS.
It Will Be Built of Steel
and Iron With
Tile Roof.

Tho Wafer Department yesterday after
noon again discussed the water tower
plans and decided to construct he struct-
urs of steel ard iron. The roof will be Of
tile and copper,
A drawing submitted by Baker & Dali
oft. architects Of Philadelphia, for the out
side design of the tower, was accepted, as
wore also the specifications for the steel
and iron work submitted by PARK Engin-
eer Leisen.
Specifications for tho tile roof and copper
work were read. The successful bidders
must have the work ready for erection by
April !, 1900. On account of the condition
of tho steel market bids will be asked for
both iron and steel though the commission
ers arc decidedly In favor Of On iron tank.
The contractor must give bond of $500
for faithful performpnoe of his coz tract,
and all bids must be accompanied by q
certified check. All the stone work, for
which the stone will be given, without
charge by the Park Commission, will be
done by The Water Department. Employ
ment will be by tho day.
The presentation Of stone by the Park
Commission means large saving in tho
cost of construction Of the tower, and is a
strong point against accusations of ex-
travagance of the weter commissioners.
o, motion OF Mr.. Belts 1t was decided to
lay cement sidewalk along the Tenth
strest side of Cool Spring Park and the
reservoir from Jacks to Franklin street
The jackson street side Of the park was
paved with cement last year, and 1t pro-
posed to have cement sidewalks all around
the park, doing a part each year.
Nothing has been hoard from the Will
nington City Railway Company regard
ing the bill of the Water Department for
damage by clcctrolysis to the mains on
Delaware Avenue. AS the water pipes
were in the street before the electric roads
" ere laid tho commissioners think their
claim just and propose to find out who
will pay for tho damage. No action was
taken.
