other States in regard to the election

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
East Wilmington Wants Protectior

taSt wilmington Wants Protection
To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
Sir: Won't you do something for us
over Eleventh street bridge, by urging
the city to lCOk upon this part of the
town as though we had some rights and
were good citizens? We pay full rate
of taxes, and the city receives a good
many thousand dollars from us every
year, but we are neglected almost as
much as though we were not part OF
Wilmington.
Years ago there was a high bank
along the Brandywine creek, which
protected the property from devastat-
ing floods. Il was kept up at the ex-
pense of the marsh owners to keep
the creek from flooding the marsh lots.
Then the town spread over here,
streets were opened, and we built our
homes, filling in a good deal of the low
ground.
We expected the city to keep UP the
bank and protect us just as much as
a marsh company would protect pas
ture lots and corn fields, but it has
net done 1T. The bank went down
anl nothing took its place. but the
ashes they dumped in Heald street
and ashes don't stop water The food
Of Monday came and it did a great
deal of damage. It went over the low
ash street like a mill race and threaten
led destruction TO scores of houses by
undermining the foundations. Our cell
lars were filled with dirty water pave
.ments and streets were quilted and the
public school building was in the midst
Of q lake.
All because we have been neglected
and lett without protection.
Claymont street is in bad condition
lat the bridge over Prices run, and
great logs washed down the creek are
lying in Heald street, and no one comes
near TO fix the street or remove them.
lf the city has a man to look after
streets, he never does anything over
here. Now won't you tell us what to
do SO that we may got some return for
our city taxes?
We want a creek bank for protcc-
uOn; we want the streets kept in bet
ter shape. and we want some kind of
a sewer. If the Evening Journal will
help us or tell us what TO do. it will
confer a great favor TO the people of
