DAM IMPROVEMENT DlSCuSSED
Lea and Sons Ccmpsny Kauts Its Brandy
wine Water Rights Protected

The Board Of Water Commissioners
Yesterday afternoon received a letter
from the Park Commission, asking the
approval of the Water Department and
the William Lea and Sons Company
of the proposed action OF the Park
Commission to construct a dam on the
site of the old Barley Mill. The board
replied that as soon as it could hold
q conference with the William Lea and
Sons Company relative to asoertaining
its rights and interests, an answer will
be given It is not believed that the
Water Department will advance any
objections.
The subject of making Improvements
to the middle dam. from which the
citys water supply is obtained, was
discussed favorably. The Lea Com
pany, which owns certain rights in the
waterway from the dam. made no OBJ
lection to the improvements. provided
its rights were not interfered with.
Another letter from the Water De-
partment to the Lea Company was
read by President Belts, calling atten-
ton to the fact that operations OF the
department were affected as a result
of Rattlsnake run, and ii was pointed
out that a concrete sewer was essen
tial in carrying off foul water. The
tenor of the Lea COmpanys' reply was
similar to the first one, it desiring an
agreement TO protect property claimed
by it in the section through which the
proposed sewer is to run. A confer.
ence with the Lea Company will be
held in order to reach some under.
standing in the matter.
The board awarded TO the Belmont
Iron works the contract to build Z
bridge over Rattlesnake run, at a cos
Of S1,225.
Ia request from property holders il
the vicinity of Garasche's lame anC
New Castle avenue that a fire-plug b'
placed there, was granted.
The board decided to adopt a new
method of testing Brandywine water
The instrument to be used consists o
long slim rod. graduated, and with
piece Of platinum on the end. An irol
| box about four inches in depth /
used for holding the water used. an
the rod is thrust down in the water
The turbidity of the water is ascer
tained by the depth at which the piec
of platinum can be seen. The waite

New WAY Of Maxine Bows

Special interest must be attached to
the different new methods Of making
up bows. rosettes, and other arrange
ments of ribbon or piece material. as
applicable to early winter hats. Louis
XIV bows are now made OF quilted rib
bon wired in the ordinary way. A
piece of the quilted ribbon may be
sewn in circle around the centre Of
the plateau. and the rest Of the ribbon
be arranged in a very large wired bow
resting on the back Of the hat, which
shelves down In the neck. The under
sides OF some hats are trimmed with
narrow Pompadour ribbons laid on fiat
in the form of Louis XIV bows. Bows
made OF No 10 ribbon velvet are often
placed under the brim. loops and ends
hanging down behind the ear. Fan
shaped bows. with a great many loops
for the back Of hats. are sometimes
made Of this ribbon. sometimes OF
piece velvet Large bows of four or
more large loops. fastened in the centre
by a buckle. are laid fat on plateau
/ hats. Another arrangement consists
lof a wide piece of accordion pleated
satin. forming a big fat rosette, the
pleats being smoothed out on either
side. Ball rosettes about the size OF a
big orange are very fashionable These
NAV be made Of loops Of rather wide
ribbon or of fold Of material closely
gathered. Wide Pompadour and plaid
ribbons may be used for the purpose
Large fiat rosettes or cockades are
equally favored. particularly made In
two shades of bright green or colder
velvet. or Of chine howered ribDoI
