CHIEF LESSEN
PRESENTS NEW
PROPOSITION
Provides for a New Site for
Water Plant in the Ninth
Ward
RESULT OF NUMEROUS DELAYS

Chief Engineer Theodore A. Leison, Of
the Water Department at yesterdays
meeting Of the Water Board submitted
alternative plans for a new water sys-
tenn. Numerous delays encountered by the
department i'm It's project for water
system at Rockland over the matter of
water rights along the Brandywine in
duced the chief engineer TO submit the
new plans
Chief Engineer Lcisen's new plans are
practical and would. no doubt, insure a
good water supply. lie admits, however,
that the Rockland site unqucstionably
possesses merits over every other pro-
ject
New Site in Ninth Ward.
The alternative proposition provides for
a tract in the Ninth ward. between Van
dever avenue and Twenty-second street
and Locust and Hcald streets, to cost $40
per foot or 5000 per acre. The tract con-
sists Of fifteen acres and filter plant
with a capacity of 100000 a day could
be constructed according to the proposi-
tion, which states that the tract is favor
ably situated for an economical water
supply.
The scheme provides that water shall
be taken from the race and passed
through preliminary filters at tho city
mill, flowing by gravity to the sand FL
ters at Twenty-second and Locust streets,
thence to the filtered water reservoir at
Sixteenth and Walnut streets. From the
reservoir it would be pumped to the Cool
Spring race
Action by the water board on the prop
osition will be based on further develop
ments with respect to the water rights
as some of the parties owning them have
not shown much disposition to confer
with the Water Commissioners.
The Proposition in Detail.
The proposition in detail follows:
Wilmington. Del, oct, 81, 1904
To the Board of Water Commissioners.
Wilmington Del
Gentlemen: The successive delays en-
counterod I'm the efforts to effect any
agreement relative TO the water supply
problem at Rockland and the increasing
tendency TO meet with unexpected OBJ
staclas, has forced the conclusion that an
alternative proposition should be con-
sidered
Viewing the subject impartially, the
Rockland scheme unquestionably pos
sesses merits over every other project
considered, although according to the
reports OF Messrs. Gray and Hazen its
relative advantages do not preponderate
to the extent anticipated. The adoption Of
this project, however, seems highly de-
sirable, but Il is not essential, and it is
the part of wisdom at this time to study
the most favorable alternative
Heretofore the comparisons have been
made principally between Rockland and
the Weldin Farm, with some slight con-
| sideration to the plan for taking water at
an intermediate point between the former
and the City Mil, but for obvious reasons
the latter would fall with the Rockland

remarkable crimes, including the MUIR

Instance being robbery. Emil Roeski,
who was with the bandits In the dug
out and who participated In many Of
their crimes, Is TO be tried separately,
not having been implicated directly In
the particular murder for which his
associates were first arraigned
The verdict OF the jury was delayed
from yesterday afternoon until today on
account Of temporary diversion OF
opinion TO make the punishment alike

Marx led othe discovery of the hiding
place Of the other bandits. Marx en-
tered plea Of guilty and begged for
mercy, while the other bandits attempt
