THE PORTER
RESERVOIR.
Report Circulated That a New
York Engineer Will Pre-
pare Plans For It.
VIGOROUS PROTEST MADE.
Leading Citizens Claim That
There Are Competent Engi-
neers in Wilmington to
Prepare Plans.

For the past lew days a report
has been current that members Of
the Water Commission will engage
an outside engineer to prepare the
plans for the proposed Porter res
ervoir. This report has led to all
outburst OF lndignat on the part
of le aiding citizeus and letters pro-
testing against such an appoint
ment we're sent to-day to the m,m.
bers OF the Water Commission.
The claim is made til at Wilmington
has competent engineers to take
charge of such an undertaking.
There are civil engineers in Whining
ton whose competency can not lbs
doubted. For patriotic purposes it
is proposed to name the new reservoir
on the Weldin farm after the late
Commissioned Porter. 1t is pointed
out there lis 40 more'necessity for en-
ploying New York engineer to pre-
pare the plans than there is to name
the new reservoir after Platt.
To reporter Of TIE DAILY RE.
PUBLICAN leading member oi the
Board Of Trade said to-day 1t is an
outrage that the fact should go
abroad that Wilmington with lis
80, 600 people has not within its
bounds Civil Engineer competent t
to supervise the erection OF a dam.
The Water Commission should not
consider the question Of getting an
outsider to prepare the plans for
the new reservoir. The taxpayers
ray the bill and they think the
money should be spent hare." An
other pro minont man said
I'VE have competent city en-
gineer in Mr.. Hatton: we have Mr..
Taylor, who is acknowledged to be
one of the most capable of the
young engineers: and we have
several more, all fully competent
to perform this. work equally as
we'll as is any outside engineer.
Even il some difficult or intricate
do condition should arise, they could
as all others do who are engaged in
any similar under taking Of eat
magnitude, call in the assistance of
some good consulting engineer. This
course would reflect great credit on
our city and our citizens.
There will be large expenditure
of public monies necessary to COM
plete this project, and why should
not our citizens be benefited by
this expenditure; both our engineers
directly and our citizens indirectly,
by the increased prestige given
Wilmingtontby the employment Of
local men or local work?"
Se"ezai prominent citizens, all
heavy taxpayers'agree heartily with
these views.
while l have not the slightest
intention to critcise the action of
the department., remarked anoth er
man to-day, ''yet it does seem to
me that any one of our local engi-
neers could have accomplished the
erection of the new dam over the
Brandywine as well as the New
York engineer and as cheaply, if
not more so'

of New Register of Wills.
The following is from the Havana
Post of November Goth:
Havana Americans as well as
many Cubans, and all who had bust
ness with the custom house here,
will remember Fred E. Bach, for a
long time statistician for the GUS
toms department of Cuba and after
wards the chief clerk to General
Bliss, collector of customs for Cuba.
At the close of the military govern
ment, Mr.. Bach returned to his
home in Wilmington, Delaware;
and since, was nominated by the
Republicans of New Castle, the
county in which Wilmington is sit
uated, for the important office of
Register of Wills.
In the elections of the 4th instant
Mr.. Bach was winner by hand
some majority. We take particular
pleasure in his success at home, not
only because he was. as all official, a
credit to his country's service in Cuba
but because he was genial gentle
man and because be was associated
with the Post some months before the
Goth of May as the contributor to
this paper of some very able articles,
showing the great advantage that
would come to both countries from
the esta blisbmcnt Of the most liber al
tr ade relations between the United
States and Cuba. Many Of these ar
ticles we're republished 10 a pamphlet
which was widely circulated 10 the
United States. Mr.. Bach's election
shows that, besides having been
highly appreciated for his worth In

erous.

The local oyster market has ta-
ken on brighter appearance and
from the present indications there
will be enough to supply the de-
mand. Four oyster boats came in
to port yesterday afternoon and all
of them had large cargo on board
Since the oyster dredging season
began it has been discovered that
the boxes as dead oysters are
called, compose large proportion
of each catch, The bog oyster
consists of nothing but the shell,
the luscious oyster having been
supplanted by mud which prevents
the shell from collapsing. Although
those interested IN the industry are
disturbed over this condition they
are consoled by the encouraging re.
ports Of the young growth. The
captains of the oyster vessels say
the young oysters were never
more numerous.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT
CHANNEL WORK.
Philadelphia Trades League
Refers Matter to Mayor
For Investigation.

More complaints about the en-.
gineering methods used in the dredg-
Ing of the Delaware are being in
vestiga ated by the Trades League
OF Philadelphia aud were this
morning laid before Mayor Ash
bridge. The Mayor, it is said, has
been making some inquiries on his
own hook and has had several de-
tectives watching the manner in
which the dredgcd material is be-
ing deposited. What has been
learned by this line Of Inquiry has
not been made public.
The newest complaint as to the
alleged methods OF Colonel Ray.
mond comes from Thomas G. Locke,
of Marcus Hook, former assist
ant engineer in the employ OF the
United States Government. Mr.,
Locke told his story TO Secretary
N. B. Kelly and by the latter was
referred to Thomas Martlndal e,
wno arranged the meeting with
the Mayor.
In a general way Mr.. Locke cor
tends that too much latitude is al
lowed the dredging company and
thatImuch OF the dredged material
is disposed Of in manner that does
not bring the greatest benefit to the
harbor. He cited the recent ground
Ing of the seven -masted schooner
Thomas W. Lawson on Cherry Is
land flats as traceable to the lump
ing of dredged material back of
Mitflin bar.
DREDGlNGS SWEPT AWAY.
They filled back of Marcus
Hook he said, "and as a result the
food current secured of the bar
and carried the material to Cherry
Island flats. The result is that the
flats are shoaled and are frequent
menace to navigation
Mr., Locke also cited the recent
grounding OF vessel on the Horse
shoe ShoaIs. due to the dredged ma
terias being washed there. Mr..
Locke contends that the filling in OF
League Island was an improper
clause 10 the contract, !nasmuch as
the River and HaTbor appropriation
bill did not contemplate the use OF
the money for the improvement Vt a
naval station.
MIR. Locke also declared that the
order providing for open wharves
was altogether wrong and th at the
piers should be boarded in so as to
make a jetty for securing out the
channel. Open, as they are now, Mr.
Locke contends that the extended
wharf line is only a menace to the
channel, evidsn nee Of which can be
fonnd in the frequency with viii ch
combs form in the channel OF the
upper river. Time aud again boa
~ temporarily aground on these
combs. which are thea dredged
away.
DEPTH OF THE CHANNEL.
This latter is one OF the points
which Mr.. Martinda'e is anxious to
have the engineer take up with the
Mayor.
"The fact that the Hayerford has
never been able TO come up to her
dock loaded 10 her utmost Capacity y

that our channel is not what 1t should
be. For practical purposes a chan.
