TROUBLE OYER
PROPOSED DAM

AT the meeting of the Park Com
missions yesterday afternoon, the
matter of Of a sewer which is to he
built by the Water Department u
carry off surplus water frcm Rattle
snake run and prevent it going into
the Brandywine Creek above the third
dam. The executive committee Of
the Park Board practically decided
to let the Water Department build
the sewer, but at the meeting of the
Park Commission yesterday there
arose a serious question about the
building of the conduit for overflow
water aud the matter was returned
to the executive committee for fur-
ther consideration.
The Water Department plan is
for a tive-foot sewer to run from
Rattlesnake run down through tho
Park and across the race and empty
into the Brandywine below the third
dam,
j. Newltp Gawthrop, OF the Park
Boarp, said that he was opposed to
the building of such a sewer 1t
would disturb some Of the rocks and
trees in the park and there was no
necessity for it. He said that it
would cost anywhere from 500 90 to
$40. 600 to build such a duct and that
practically nothing would be gained
Uy it.
The discussion over the matter con-
tinued for some time aud some sharp
criticisms were made Nearly all
tue members of the Park Board took
q hand in the discussion and duriag
the talk some of the members express
ed the opinion that building the pro-
posed sewer was Il worthless idea The
Water Commissions had seized hold 0f
so they could spend part OF the sur
plus they received from water rents.
1t was evident that the Park Board
was not in favor Of the granting ths
permission to build the sewer, AZ
shown by the minutes OF the execa-
tive committee. aud the whole matter
was sent back to the executive can-
mittes for further consideration.
The report of the Treasurer show
ed Il balance on hand of IS. 346. 30.
The executive committee reported
that acuuference had beeu held with
President Belts, of the Water de-.
partment and were Informed that
..ne Water Department had decided
to reinforce The present third dun
and not join the Park Commission in
building d new dam. The COMMITTEES
also report ed that the iron for the
new pavilion in North Park was on
the site.
The Water Department offered to
turn over to the Park Board the pub
lie comfort houses in Brandywins
Park. The matter was referred To
the executive committee.
The matter of making Franklin
street an entrance to the park was
brought up by Mr.. Rogers. lie had
Photographic views setting forth the
advantages of Franklin street as an
entrance. The matter was referred
to the executive committee to pre-.
pare plans for opening Franklin street

PAINTERS

Fourteen members OF the Master
Painters Association met yesterday
morning and passed resolutions re.
latlyc to the differences existing be.
tween their organlHatlOn and the
JOurneymen House Painters Associa
ton.
The first clause of the resolution
sets forth that they, as employers,
have always been conslderate with
their men, when the reverse wOui d
be more truthful statement. The
Clam Of the master painters that
they had on hand lot OF contracts
tlat were made on a basis of 81 80
for nine hours, is also Il rather weak
one, as the master painters were mott
fed by the Journey men last January
that 90 Aprl ! they would dem ana
- 50 for eight hours. The master
painters were tod, however, that If
they had anv contracts that really
were made Oh the nine hour basis
the journeyman were willing to CON.
pete the jobs Of the cd scale. This
ignored Their offer Of 80 cents an
hour or S2 4OfUr eight hours may look
very fair towards the men, vet if
taken into consideration, what goes
with their proposition, II is far from
what we, the journeymen house pain
ter5 Of Wilmington desire.
The master painters demand thac
we not only work with non-uhion
men, but they would have usfurther
agree to work for no contracting
painter unless he be member Of
their organization, thus deharrins
any member of the JOurneymen
House Painters Association from
going into business as lie would first
have to Join the Masters Painters
Assoc aJion. and it would lay in their
power to say whether he shou be
admitted, There are only IA mem.
bers Of the Masters Painters ASSOcla
tlpn. There are Is firms that do not
belong to the Masters Painters As
soc'ation, but who have signed the
agreement Of the journeymen. The
master painters dem and that we re-
fuse to work for any Of this number.
The charge that a master painter Of
this city is responsible for the strike
being prolonged is untrue.

PARENTS do not have enough of
the gospel in their make up. They
cannot expect to rule with IN iron
hand and have their children love
and respect them. Spare the rod
and spoil the child does not always
apply.
You cannot make your children
think as you do and when they run
contrary to your wishes there is no
use ip getting angry and threaten
that you will disown them. The
above was inspired by an angry
parent who called at a newspaper
office and wanted to publish her
daughter for marrying young
man against her parents wishes.
There was nothing that could be
said against the character of the
young man by the parents of the
bride only that they did not
wish her to get married as they
thought she was too young and had
= good home.
1t is hard thing to make young
people think as their parents wish
them to and in choosing a life part
ner- the majority Of them choose for
themselves. Sometimes their choice
turns out alright and they get along
happily together at other times
they 60 back home to mother and
tell her all their woes
But it is hard hearted parent,
especially a mother, who would
turn against her daughter whom
she had reared tenderly and care
fully and had set great store by.
Many boy and girl has gone wrong
when a kiss from mother and a
kind word from father would have
shown them the error Of their way
and that the kind Of life they were
living would not bring happiness.
Blood should flow stronger in our
veins than hate and revenge Don't
turn against your flesh and blood
but show them where they err.
