REASON FOR
THE DELAY.

1t was reported yesterday that there
was much dissatisfaction among mem
bers of the Board of Education over the
long delay in the turning over of the
heating plant at the New High School
building to the Board by the contractor,
Harry A. Miller.
The plant, it is said, is working well
and certain members are of the opinion
that there should be no further delay
in formally transferring it to the Board.
At the last meeting of the Board the
fact was disclosed that there was fric-
ton between Contractor Miller and the
committee on fuel, heating and ventila-
ton over the selection of fireman. MIR.
Miller had objected to Frank Jones, the
man selected by the Board to fire the
boilers. As a result, Mr.. Miller had an
employe of his own doing the firing.
Mr.. Jones continued to report at the
building every day but was not permitted
to do any work about the boilers.
After heated discussion at the last
Board meeting during which President
Shortlidge stated that lie understood
the man hired as engineer was not an
engineer but machinist and the fireman
did not understand that kind Of a boiler,
the matter was referred to the commit
tee on new buildings, which committee
was given the power to discharge either
the fireman or the engineer.
The committee on new buildings, which
is composed of William Turner, chair
man; Lewis b. Morrow, George Rom
nell, John Y. Schaeffer, James ID. Car
ter, Abram u. Frantz, NJ. d., John Pal
mcr Jr., NJ. d., will present report
on the matter at the regular meeting of
the Board tonight.
1t is said that after the report is made,
a demand will be made that steps be
taken to have the plant transferred to the
Board.
Certain members of the committee on
fuel, heating and ventilation feel that
they We're sighted in having the matter
of the engineer and fireman of the school
taken out of their hands and it is under
stood. are of the opinion that there
should be no further delay in turning
the plant ovcr'to the Board.
Contractor Miller is under $4,000 bond
for his guarantee that the plant will
run satisfactorily for one year.
The members of the Board intend TO
make another strong effort to have the
Legislature pass the High School loan.
A report on the matter will be made at
tonights meeting by r. G. Fraim of
the Legislative committee. There are
also other bills in which the Board is
interested.
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-02-25
LET THE CANAL BE BOUGHT.

Twenty thousand dollars will not pur-
chase the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal, but an appraisement can be made
for that sum, and this is what bill
acted upon favOrably by the House Com
mittee on Railways and Canals aims to
accomplish.
Whether the fl OF economy that seems
to have struck Congress all at once
will prevent the adoption of the bill
cannot be said, but it is most sincerely
to be hoped that the appropriation will
be passed and that the first steps to-
ward acquiring an inland water way by
the government will be taken in the
immediate future.
A deep water canal will enable battle
ships to he thrown from the Philadelphia
Navy Yard into the Chesapeake for the
protection of Baltimore and Washington,
and at the same time will open up adj
vantages to shipping of all classes. With
this link in the chain Of inland water
ways constructed, the next step would
be to connect with deep canal the
waters of the Delaware River and Of
New York Bay. After that would come
the improvement of the sounds of the
Southern coast.
1t is scheme that has long been
discussed. Now let Congress do some
thing practical by passing this appropra-
ton.-The Philadelphia) Inquirer.
Delaware will not object to the making
of provision for the defense Of the Ma
tional Capitol. The greatest warship
building plant in the country is now on
the Delaware river, as is also the pros
pcctivc great Navy Yard of the Nation,
and there is room for more shipyardS
on the same river 1t is evident that a
water way, admitting of the passage Of
war ships from the Delaware to the
Chesapeake, or to enlarge the idea,
from New York harbor to the South
Atlantic coast of the country, would be
of the greatest possible value in Mill
tary defense. While this appeals to
every good American patriotism, We
think the commercial interests of this
city and State would be promoted to a
very large degree by such an enterprise.
The more commerce on the Delaware
river the more chance there Is for bust
ness for this city-the more ships there
is going up and down the river, the
greater -he attraction to draw business
from along our little river front to the
deep water front of the Delaware. To
the Delaware is the direction of this
city's future commercial growth, and
whatever promotes that promotes every
citizens interest.
Boost the canal project.
