THEIR PROBABLE ALTITUDE.

a GAIN we are informed that there
are matters of Importance to our
city departments that are held
IN abeyance tin the return Of the city
solicitor from his vacation. This hap
pens every year, and it is time for us
TO be seeking a remedy. Either we
shall have to provide a solicitor to act
ad interim or we shall have to elect
as our municipal councillor one who
either abbreviates his vacation. or re-
mains in touch with the city. And that
is said as mere common-sense obser-
walton. and not in the way Of hostile
criticism.
II is said that the Water Commission
needs the advice Of the city solicitor in
order to straighten out the tangle over
the hlter matter so that active work or
the new plant may begin. And whether
true or not, there is a widespread be-
lief that the commission proposes to
make some compromise with the Sand
Filtration Company whereby the city
win either pay that concern a large
sum to abandon its claims or that this
company. or-its successor. will be given
third contract.
Vow perhaps one member Of the
commission, Mr., Ford, can afford to
favor one OF these courses. but the other
members cannot. Mr.. Ford while a
member OF the old commission was
largely Responsible for the second con-
tract which has been pronounced valid
by the court Al the time OF the sign
ing Of that contract he made am adj

he viii seek some compromise whereb,
the validity Of that contract win b,

But the other members OF the com,
mission stand on a different footing
They have it in their power to star

1T COSTS you NOTHING.
Miller Drug Co. Will Return Your
Money If Mi-o-na Does Not
Cure Van

There are hundreds Of people in
Wilmington who were not the least
bit surprised when they read in the
Journal that Miller Drug CO. is selling
Mi-o-na on a guarantee 10 refund the
money in case it did not cure. This
marvellous dyspepsia remedy VIII cure
the worst case Of Indigestion, head
ache, dizziness or the general played
out condition that ahiicts everyone suf-
fering with stomach trouble.
Mi-o-na does not simply relieve; 1t
cures. Miller Drug Company can tell
you of many well-known people in this
city whom this remedy has restored
to health. often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment with
little or no benefit.
The best kind Of advertising is the
praise of pleased customer. And
there are hundreds in Wilmington to-
day praising Mi-o-na because il cured

eat nothing without wondering what
the result would be. Since using Mi

filtration company. and let the new
commission start with clean record.
But we say right now that in our opin-
ion any commissioner who consents to
have further dealings with the sand
Filtration Company WIN lose much Of
his usefulness as "a public force.
We are not inclined to think that the
city solicitors opinion will be hostile to
adjusting the matters in dispute be-
tween the city and the Sand Filtration
Company IN such a manner as to recog-
nlze the validity and virtue OF that
second contract His remarks on the
occasion of the acceptance Of that con-
tract warrant as in assuming that it
was made under his advice. OF course
he may have passed only upon the lesal
aspects Of the matter. but his language
at the time can be construed into per-
feet satisfaction.
Therefore. both Mr. Ford and Mr..
Harman who were concerned in maxi
ing that second contract may be ex-
peoted to favor some compromise which
win not too greatly discredit their
former action. And our only hope Of
protection seems to lie in the two new
members and the Mayor.

SECOND WARD RESIDENTS
BEFORE HEALTH BOARD
Complain of Nuisance Beyond
Third Street Bridge-Mr.
Cannon Heads Delegation

The delegation Of residents of South
Wilmington who have been protesting
for some time against a nuisance which
they contend is being maintained by
the Diamond State Steel Company in
allowing waste water from its plant
to flow over Heald street, appeared
before the Board of Health yesterday
afternoon. The delegation was headed
by Councilman Michael L. Cannon of
the Second ward, and explanations of
the nature Of the nuisance We're made.
There appeared to be a diversity of
opinion as to just what the real cause
OF the trouble was, some attributing
1t to the Street and Sewer Department
IN not providing suitable cutters, and
others to the waste water from the
Diamond State Steel Company. An
other said that the nuisance was caused
BY sluice gate at the end of the
/ trench which emptied into the Christi
ana being clOgged with stones.
Councilman Cannon said that when il
rains it is impossible 10 walk on the
| pavement on account Of the great vol
ume Of water which pours from the
Diamont state Steel plant. One cause
of this nuisance, Mr.. Cannon thought
is the gutter is too small to carry the
water off, and the street is ten inches
higher than the sidewalk He said the
water from the plant runs TO a point
on Christiana avenue where it empties
| into pool and remains there until il
stagnates. A sort Of tallow runs into
the gutter from the mill which is very
odorous. 1t runs through pipe which
overilows at all rains and lays in the
cutters.
Among others who spoke of the nui-
sance were George c. Slaughter, Au.
gust Thurman, John +. Welsh and
and James Mcmahon. The board de-
cided after the delegation withdrew tc
call i'm the assistance of City Engineer
/ George Boughman to ascertain if pos
sible the real cause of the complaint.
