TO MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS.
And whereas IT is necessary TO have
a plant stationed in the city at ali
times TO make promptly such repairs
f1aarn
are many strNets now in the city that
can be resurfaced with asphalt and
bituithic without disturbing the ORR
ginal paving, same being in proper
form for sound foundation at less
than one-half the estimated cost.
should the city be required TO contract
for subsequent repair jobs, the amount
of $1,000 or more must always be taken
into consideration for the incoming
and outgoing freight AMI cost of erec-
tion and removal of plant. The above
calculations are based entirely upon
bitulithio paving. which is the most
costly paving now considered. 1t is not
the idea Of the board to pave the en-
tire city with bitulithic. so that all
other forms Of modern paving laid by
this plant win show an increased saw
ing to the city of more than the
amount above stated.
Except in a few instances the street
paving in the city has been done here
tofore by the Street and Sewer De-
partment No new organization is re-
quired. but the purchase of the plant
to take care of modern paving and re-
pairs to some is necessary to enable
the Board to continue its long estab-
lished policy. under which many thou
sands of dollars have been saved to the
city in the past, and larger savings are
assured in the future. The purchase
price of the plant as outlined above
is to include the services OF a compet-
ent instructor to be supplied by the
parties from whom the plant is pur-
chased, to remain until our force is
thoroughly skilled in the work, period
ical inspection by an engineer and
daily tests of the paving mixture to be
made and reported from the labora-
tory of the producers Of the bitumen.
Therefore be it resolved by the board
of directors of the Street and Sewer
Department of the city of Whining
ton, Delaware
That after a very careful investiga-
ton as to kind of street pavements and
the cost of laying same it is the judg-
ment of this board that the needs of the
city of Wilmington would be best
served by the purchase and operation
by this Department Of a paving plant

BOY is BADLY
HURT BY AUTO
TottenvilIe Youth Was Crossing
the Street When Machine Ran
Over Him Last Night.
AUT0IST WAS ARRESTED LATER
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. about
7:45 O'Clock, last night, Harry Cole.
fifteen years old, son of Richard
Cole, of Sleight avenue, was run over
by an automobile that was being tow
ed behind a large touring car. The
machines had just come from Perth
Amboy on the 1880 o'clock boat and
were going along Amboy avenue at
good rate of speed, when, at Wood
avenue, Cole attempted TO cross Am
boy avenue when he was struck. He
was picked UP unconscious and taken
TO his home DR.. Eastmen, of Main
street, found the boy had his right
leg broken about five inches above
the knee and large wound on the
forehead. The boy is still in seri-
Gus condition and is thought to have
concussion of the brain.
There were four men in the first
car and two in the disabled one. They
proceeded toward st. George without
stopping to find out whether or not
the boy was hurt.
Patrolman James Hughes reported
the case to the police station, and
Lieutenant Haerle sent out an alarm.
Every ferry on the island was GOV
tective LangfiIz arrested Luciaus
Burns, thirty-one years old, as he
was about to go aboard the Bergen
Point ferry at Port Richmond, short
ly after s o'clock. He was taken to
the Eighty-frst precinct station in
West New Brighton.
When arrested he had only one
automobile. He admitted that he had
come across the island with another
machine in tow, but denied any
knowledge of having knocked down
and run over the boy at this place.
1t is thought by the police that the
other machine was left at some place
along the road to avoid detection
Burns, who gave his address as Dou-
glastown, Long Island, and his occu-
patton as an autoist, was held with
out bail.
He will be arraigned in the second
district in Stapleton today. Mr.. Cole,
the boys father, will be in court to
prosecute the charge.

COPPER WORKS LAYING MEN OFF
GRADUALLY, AVERAGE FEW DAILY.
Reduced Copper
Output Is Held
Responsible.
NOT SO BUSY.

AS this city is involved in the
great mining industry of the country
to a great extent by the smelling fac
tories here. it is commencing to feel
the effects Of the low copper sales,
and the Raritan Copper works are
laying off on an average of seven to
nine men daily.
One source of the supply of these
works is the Amalgamated Copper
company. which accounts for the in
terest it has in the copper drop. A
few days ago the Amalgamated COM
pany reported no sales, even at it's
reduced rate of sixteen and half cents
a pound. The metal exchange has
also cut its prices on copper quar-
ter and half a cent a pound.
A high official of the A. S. & R..
plant said this morning that the slack
sales i'll not affect this city. I'm
fact" he said, 1--WE have taken on
men lately and are looking for more"
Work at the mines is getting slack
and they are in danger of being clos
ed, which will necessitate the 1aying
off of thousands of miners and lsbor-
