BOARD OF TRADES
UNUSUAL ACTION
Will Ask Water Commission
ers to Consult Them
About New Plant
CANAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED

After considerable discussion at the
Board of Trade meeting last night It was
decided TO hold special meeting next
Thursday night for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed new water plant
which Is TO be erected. President Savery
was also instructed TO, confer with the
Water Commissioners and request them
to meet the members OF the Board Of
Trade at the special meeting TO be called.
IL was the opinion of some Of the menu
bers that the action was unusual and that
the board should go slow in taking up
this matter at such a late day II was
pointed out that both the old commits
sion and the present board had consulted
good authority on such subjects and it
would hardly be supposed that the Board
Of rrade would have any better opinion
ON the matter William z. Bancroft
thought the members should be careful
in expressing their opinions on the sub
ject.
Among those who took part in the dis
cussion werc William p. Bancroft. can
tain Horace Wilson A. u. Warner. Presi-
dent Savery and several others. 1t was
brought up during an expression of opin-
ion as to the advisability of again advo-
eating new city charter, al the next
session OF the Legislature.
II was stated that If the city charter
was changed, according to the proposed
modification, it might result in PLACING
the construction of the new water plant
IN new hands As the matter has gone
so far under the present administration
1t was not deemed advisable by some OF
/ the members to make change now IN
/ the negotiations.
Some members were OF the opinion tba,
the Board of Trade should co-operat,
with the members Of the Water Commits
sion. The members OF the Board Of Trad,
want TO become familiar with the trans
actions ana they do not want the Water
Commissioners to sign any contracts thai
would be binding on the city until IN,
board can Investigate.
The action of the board was discusse,
among great many citizens today an,
a number seemed TO be of the opinion
that # would be presumption on the par
OF the board to interfere now when prac
ticaily all plans have been made for tn
water plant

Company Objected to Con

Considered 1t I1npfacti-
caI-They Have Re
paired Dam Repeatedly
Regarding Trolley Ex-
tension to Ford's Mo-
rocco WOrks-Other Di-
rectors of Road Op-
posed 1t Vigorously

In reference to the attacks made upon
Preston Lea by Peter j. Ford in a
speech at New Castle on Wednesday
night and printed in the Every Evening
yesterday, some of the facts of the mat
ter may be of interest.
The city and Lea & Son each own
equal interests in the dam on the
Brandywine 1t has been there for
more than 100 years and its purpose is
to supply the two races and neither
party has right to change the condi-
tion Of the dam so as to affect the water
in either dam, the opening being fixed
by law and cannot be changed.
Rebuilt by Henry Lea.
Twenty years ago the dam was re-
built BY Henry Lea and has continued
with proper repairs. which the Lea
Company always bore their share, in
good condition 1t answered the pur-
poses for which it was built fully.
Many times the Lea Company made re-
pairs to the dam for which they charg-
ed the city nothing.
As stated i'm the letters read by Mr.
Ford at New Castle the Lea Company
was always feady to pay its share OF
the expenses of keeping it I'm proper
condition, so that the water would flow
as it had been flowing for hundred
years and more.
The Lea Company could not see why
it should expend gratuitously a large
sum Of money in making additions tC
the dam. which in no way benefited SIS
efficiency and it disapproved Of the
concrete breast. which the city put in
the dam at great expense because its
officers considered that a heavy freshe
or foe Of ice would break it.
Dam Breaking.
Time has proven that they were
right. The dam is now cracked an,
breaking al one end II not at both.
l' AS to the statement OF Mr. Ford tina
an agreement existed between the cit.
and the William Lea & Sons Compan,
in reference to the new dam across tn
Brandywinc near West street an,
through which the city is carrying
water pipes, was not made until
protest had been made by the com
pany. 1t came when the city wanted t
cut through the banks of the lonl
north race near West street and tn
agreement was made between the par
ties on October %.
In regard to the statement of Nj
Ford that Mr.. Lea refused when he wa
president Of the Wilmington City Rail
way Company to extend the tracks 70
the accommodation of Ford Morocco
employees: The extension asked for wa
one square long and would carr
twenty-five or thirty passengers twice
day. While Mr.. Lea was president a
this time OF the company there wer
other directors and officers who object
ed. Willard Salisbury, chairman of tn
Democratic State Committee, at tina
time was a director. vice-president an
general counsel of the company.
