BIG LOAN IS NEEDED BADLY

The Legislature win be called upon in
few days to decide the matter OF a
lean Of $4,000. which the Board Of Water
Commissioners need 10 finish the immense
water system now in course OF construc-
ton here This Ss0O,O0O is in addition to a
loan of 100000 and the revenue Of the de-
partment during the past year, which has
already been expended.
OF the $4,000 loan asked for S20O0o0 will
be expended for the purchase of the water
rights and real estate along the Brandy
wine owned by the Lea interests. which
move does not appear to meet with gen
eral approval. The price asked by the
Leas is considered far in excess Of the
worth OF the property, and it is expected
that there viii be some opposition to the
loan bill when it comes up for final action
in the Legislature.
Owing to the interest taken in the Water
Boards affairs, some facts and figure,
concerning the department are approprl.
