WATER BOARD
TAKES ACTION
Decides by Adopting Reso-
luton to Lay Pipes With
City Labor
Mr., SHAW REFUSED TO VOTE

The Board of Water Commissioners
decided yesterday afternoon at their
lregglar weekly meeting to have the
pipes from the reservoir at Weldin's
farm to Wilmington laid by city labor.
This action was taken despite the fact
that Mayor Horace Wilson had point
ed out to the board the provisions of
the laws requiring that the work shall
be done by contract, and City Audi
! tor Benjamin L. Spence's notice serv-
ed on the board that he will hold up
all bills for work in the future that are
not in strict accordance with the law.
While it was known that the board
intended to have the work done by
department labor no definite action
was taken until yesterday afternoon.
Now it is expected that as soon as an
attempt is made TO begin the work the
department will be restrained by ac-
! ltion at law.
LINDSAY PRESENTS RESOLUTION
/ Commissioner Lindsay presented the
resolution, which was adopted. and
which provided that the work of lay
/ ing the long water main shall be done
by department labor. 1t follows.
! Whereas. This department is en-
gagged in the work of constructing a
new water works system for the city
lof Wilmington, part of which work
/ will consist in the laying of water
mains, one main branch of which must
cross the BrandyWine creek beneath
/ its bed. and connect the pumping sta
( Ition with the storage basins: and pro-
posing bidder for the laying of said
mains must make a liberal estimate
and allowance in his bid above calcu-
lated cost for contingencies. such as
extra rock excavation. Interference
with existing water, gas and sewer
pipes, foods in creek crossings, etc.,
which contingencies might not actually
happen. or serve to increase the cost
of operation:
And Whereas, The laying of said
lmains does not require any extensive
operating plant and this department
is without further outlay fully equip
ped for such work; this department
has. in accordance with unrepealed
ordinances Of the city, always assumed
the power to lay its water mains with
out the Intervention OF a contractor; it
has in its permanent employ skilled
engineers and meen wholly competent
to oversee, inspect and perform such
work: the eight-hour day applies
equally to a contractor who should
undertake this work as to this de-
lpartment if it should itself perform it;
and the work under direct supervision
land performance by the department
would be done at actual cost and the
city thereby certainly be saved the
profits of the contractor. and prob
ABLY be saved the necessary estimated
addition thereto to cover the contin-
lgencies above enumerated
And Whereas, Any contractor for
such work will seek his labor from
the cheapest and probably foreign
sources. while the policy of this de-
lpartment in doing this work viii be
to employ, as far as possible. its pres
ent force of laborers and other local
llaborers as il may find necessary.
And Whereas. This department in
view of other large expenditures for
material and labor which must prop

erly be secured under contract in the
erection Of the said water works. has
not sufficient annual revenue of funds
to justify it entering into a contract
at this time, for the laying of these
mains, while it will at the same time
be able to build and lay the same from
its current receipts I'm ample time for
use upon the completion Of the balance
of the proposed water works system.
And Whereas. Il would be useless,
in view of the already announced in
tention Of the department TO lay these
mains II 1t can do it more cheaply, 10
invite bidders, who would necessarily
be obliged to take into consideration
which would not affect the estimate OF
the departments own engineer.
And Whereas. The engineer Of this
department has for various reasons
advised this department that It would
not be economical or for the best in
terests Of the city to have said work
done by contract, and the. members OF
the board have, upon careful consid-
GRAFTON OF the subject. arrived at the
same conclusion.
Now therefore be It resolved by the
Board of Water Commissioners. thai
the work of laying the said water
mains shall be done by this board
without inviting contractors 10 bic
therefor; and that, i'm the Judgment Of
this board. the doing OF said work by
contract is impracticable
SHAW OPPOSED MEASURE.
Benjamin F. Shaw, the Republican
member Of the board, did not vote fol
the resolution and explained that his
position was the same that It alway.
had been in the matter. He was op.
posed to doing the work by city eabor
at least before the commissioners had
the estimated cost of the work tC
compare with bids submitted by con-
tractors.
Mayor Wilson was present at the
meeting Of the board, but offered nc
comment.
President Ford thought that the work
could be done more economically by
tn department and Commissioner
Lindsay offered the additional infor-
nation that the department. had al
ways done its own laying of pipes.
