SECRETARY'S
REPORT.

The annual report or secretary
Harvey j. Wiley Of the Street and
Sewer Department will lie presented
to the directors at the meeting to-
morrow. A general review of the
work since the establishment Of the
Street and Sewer Department has
! been placed in the report.
Special attention is given to the
Street and Sewer work.
The cost for lighting our streets
during the pas t year was $45, 593. 81
which means sixty cents for each OF
our 76, 800 inhabitants, cost COM
paratively small when we consider
that of the great cities of our coun-
try, there is paid ior each inhabitant
in New York, IS cents: Baltimore, Gs
cents; San Francisco, II cents: New
Orleans, so cents: Washington, SO
cents; Cleveland, s5 cents; Boston,
81. 10, and Cincinnati $l.30 for each
one.
There have been issued nine hun
dred and nincty-siX permits to sun
dry persons entitled under the regu-
lations, to open beds CT streets for
the purpose of making sewer connec-
tions or laying and repairing service
pipes of various kinds and for deposit
ing building materials etc, many per-
mlts including permission to perform
work in or about several properti es
adjoining each other. The figures do
not include the numerous openings
made by the Water Department in
extending mains and renewing ser
vice pipes. A record Of all openings
is kept and it is possible to locate any
one, together with the person rcspon-
sble for the same.
Brick paved sidewalks are of the
most expensive class in use on &C.
count of the difficulty In keeping
such in proper repair therefore, a reg
ulation requiring all new sidewalks in
front Of buildings to be laid with ce-
ment, particularly those in the bust
ness sections of the city, should be
adopted.
lnasmuch as the regulation requir-
ing round or circular curb corners to
be set at streets intersections has
proved to be of decided advantage,
we should begin to take out and
change all the old style rectangular
corners, commencing on the streets in
the business sections.
While the ashes and rubbish collec-
tions by contract have been more sat
isfactorily performed during the past
season than has been the case for sew
cral years, this work is susceptible Of
much mprOyement, but 1t appears to
he problem difficult to solve unless
the solution be in undertaking to do
this work ourselves BY day labor nm
der direction Of ours trcet commission
CT and his supervisors: while such a
procedure might increase the cost the
benefits accruing would more than
balance and in our favor
The Wilmington City Rail way
Company's mileage in the city is
twenty three and one half and that of
the People S Railway Company about

seven miles Of private sewers, is sixty

Told of William Gillette, the play
wright: 1t happened at a railway lunch
counter. Gillette walked leisurcly up to
the counter, hazarded doughnut and
plaintively spoke to the dressy young
woman handing out things to excited
voyagers who grabbed and bolted them
or had them thrust into a greasy paper
bag to carry farther and fare worse
withal.

MONDAY. APRIL 8, 1901.

SEVERAL Of the leading colored
men have told the writer that they
are not being treated right by the
Republican leaders in Delaware.
They contend that there should be
colored janitor at the city hall
under the Police Commission and
that one OF their color should be
put on the police force. They say
that nothing has been done ior them
where positions could have been
given them and they do not feel as
kindly disposed toward the Repub-
lican party as they have heretofore.
They don't expect any impossible
things, butthey contend tn at where
it has been possible to recognize
them, they have been totally ignor.
ed and not even treated with COM
mon courtesy to say the least. They
threaten to run several colored men
for Office at the coming city election
and show what they can do IN the
voting line.

THOSE who want to know some
thing about the Insurance laws Of
this Stale, can do so by writing to
DR.. George W. Marshall, the lnsur-

laws were compiled by the differ

who aided DR.. Marshall in having
the same passed at the last Legls-

to get him TO sign the same. The

NEVER in the history OF the stock

shares OF stock changed hands as
during the past lew weeks, when
200, 900 or more shares changed

the bull movement was commenced
in this country and is still controll-

The big Steel Trust has had a good

as the automobile. The evening prices

please everyone, a play that has

sented, will be seen. The first acts
show rural home in Dekalb
County, Illinois, the third act. a
Block Tower on the Chicago North
western Railroad, near Chicago
The fourth act is the famous Bis
mark Gardens OF Chicago, resort

fifth and last act IS reproduction
from a photograph OF one OF the
best known millionaire mansions

all of its costly brio brac, tapes
