In the Near Future New System of Charging
for Water Will 60 Into Effect.
FIRST LOT OF METERS HAVE BEEN ORDERED

| 1t is expected that the work will be com
pleted in a short time. In speaking OF
the urgent need of better vacilities FOR
Supplying Wilmington with water presi-
dent Belts of the Water Commissioners,
ut the meeting. yesterday afternoon
stated that the Rodney street reservoir
was not large enough to even hold one
days supply. This necessitates the con
stant pumping of water into that reser-
voir to meet its demand. While the
reservoir holds but 100000 gallons, the
average amount used from that reser
yoir each day last week was 1,728.O00 or
22S,000 gallons more each day than it will
hold. In case of bad breakdown re-
pairs would have TO be made in less than
twenty-four hours as all the water wond
he pumped out within that time. The
city mill pumps the water into Coolspring
reservoir and from there it is pumped
into the Rodney street basin. The Water
Commissioners fearing that there might
he a serious accident some day, recently
installed pump at the new Rockford
tower which in case of emergency could
pump into the Rodney street reservoir
II the plans mapped ont by the depart
inent for the proposed large reservoir to
be erected on the Weldin estate are car
ried out, it would relieve the department
Of such great responsibilities and would
give to Wilmington one Of the hest
wafer services in the country. The site
is on an elevation from which water
could he run to any section of the city
and the proposed reservoir would hold Il
weeks supply Of water.

ment for meter service will probably

board yesterday afternoon Chief Engi-
neer Bond was instructed to order 3O9
meters and more will be purchased when
they have all been installed. The meters
are said to be much more satisfactory to
property owners than the present sched-
nrd rate. Duding the past year 100 me-
tiers have been installed. Registrar Gro
he has been instructed to give the owners
of the property where meters We're put iii
notice that beginning January 1st they
will be charged meter rate instead of the
old schedule rate.
Registrar Grohe reported at the meet
ing that $3.50 or $500 of water rent which
is due, was still unpaid. He was in.
structcd to give all parties who still
owe water rent the usual 10 days legal
notice. W iliam Bancroft's petition for
service in Il new house on Willard street
was granted. The application for an eA-
tension Of the service on Locust street

to be inserted in the resolution a clause
requiring the railroad company to begin
work on the elevated within sixty days
aitef the passage of the resolution, The
original provision was that work should
Dc begun within thirty days after the

3ected to on the ground that it would
handicap the railroad company, and the
new clause was inserted.
1t Is said that the company contem.
plates the expenditure of between s5.-
