HOUSES DAMAGED, CARPETS RUINED.
Residents of Taylor Street Have an I'm
pleasant Experience battling with Sewer
Water.

Residents of Taylor Street Have an I'm
pleasant Experience BATTLING with Sewer
Water.
The occupants of the houses Nos. 314 and
316 Taylor street, tenanted by Mrs. Mary A.
Cprson and james johnson and their
families, and owned by Seth II. Feaster,
had an unpleasant experience yesterday
battling with water and filGh from sewer
In Taylor street, which found its way Into
the living rooms of the houses on the
ground floor, through the street ana also
through the sinks. The water and refuse
covered the floors of the basement ROBINS of
the two houses to a depth Of about six or
the houses ruined the carpets
William B. Clerk q Co.'s morocco
factory, at Ninth and Walnut and Taylor
and Wilson streets, is almost diagonaly
across the street from the houses where the
trouble has been experienced, and as the
factory refuse. the presumption is that 1t
came from that factory. The trouble Is
not, however, SO far as can be learned, due
to the factory, but to some detect either In
the sewer or some sewer connections. Just
where the trouble Is could not be learned.
The houses are built with basement
Kitchens, the entrance being through an
alley, which is about three feet below the
level OF the street and Reached by steps.
The alley is probably about the depth of the
sewer. and, judging from what was seen
when an examination wes made, the water
and refuse found its way Into the alley
under the steps. Ra r..
The occupants of the houses noticed
Tuesday that water was leaking in, and they
made an effort to stem the tide, which they
renewed yesterday, but without success.
When they found they could do nothing,
Mr.. Feaster was notified and in a short
time he had force Of men from the Street
and Sewer Department there removing the
obstruction so that the water wDuld flow
through the sewer. 9F' -4
This stencil left in the houses by the filthy
water and deposit was almost unbearnbe,
and when a reporter of The Gazette
called there at noon members of both
families stated that they scarcely knew how
they would BIZ able to remain there under
such unpleasant and unhealthy conditions.
Mrs. Corson's daughter stated that similar
trouble was experienced last winter and her
mother had several carpets ruined. but there
had been very little annoyance since changes
we're made in the sewer last spring until
yesterday morning, although some water has
laaked in I'm three Occasinn4.

THE CORPORATION LAW.

Proposed Amendments Prepared by Bar
Committee--wiI Add to Revenue, 1t is
Claimed. 0S t
Walter H. Hayes, j. Ernest Smith and
Andrew O3tGray, the committee of the New
Castle County Bar Association for that
purpose, have revised the present corpora
tion law and submitted it to the Legis-
lature. The revised act, will, il is believed
correct a great many of the Inconsistencies
of the existing law. While making the law
perfectly sHfe one to operate under both
for stockholders. and the companies, yet
many safeguards have been thrown around
the corporations business. l
tits also believed by the committee that
this will bring much larger revenue to the
State than the old, which brought $40, 600
into the State treasury in two years.
One of the members of the committee
said to-day that IL a desired change In the
constitution aud the changes in the corpora
ton law were adopted now, he knew one
company alone which would come to this
Stute for charter and would have paid
500, 900 into the State treasury. He is
trying to hold tho matter up until the
Legislature has acted, In the hope of
securing the corporation yet. Should the
changes be made It Is estimated by one
attorney that 1t would bring $500, 600 into
the State treasury in two years.
