NEW CITY HALL.

THERE is a widespread opinion that Will
u mington should have new City Hall
Mayor Wilson's suggestions have been generally
discussed and have aroused thorough interest
IN the natter Gradually we believe opinion will
form in favor of an entire new building that
would reflect credit upon the city and the State
as we'll The city has made marked improvement
in the character OF public as we'll private struc
lures. The building Of new Court House years
ago has been followed by the erection of new
Federal building, new High School and now
as private enterprise comes new Young
Mems Christian Association structure. And a
new City Hall is needed for the city, just as
these three new buildings were wanted.
1t would be we'll for the advocates of a new
City Hall carefully to consider all the suggestions
for a City Hall, so that when one is finally de-
cided upon it will be the best that can be obtained
for Wilmington.
There is a sentiment that the city, if possible
should secure a square of ground, or the largest
part of a square in the neighborhood of the new
Federal building which could be used for the
new City Hall. The municipal buildings of most
cities are among their desirable features. Let us
work together to give Wilmington municipal
structure that would be attractive would fulfil
the ambitions Of progressive Wilmington.

RICHES IN READING.

r ERKS County, Pa, like Wilmington and
- New Castle county, has some live real es-
tate men. They are booming Reading and the
county. One OF them has issued bulletin and
after reading it we should all like to move up
among the Pennsylvania Dutch-perhaps The
bulletin of the Reading real estate firm declares
that there will be S75oooooo in profits for the
people of Reading in the course Of the next
thirty years Therefore, you should try TO live
that length of time in order to reap share of
these profits. In the next three decades, says the
bulletin the population Of Reading will have
doubled or perhaps trebled In that event Viii
mington will have to look for its laurels, as the
two cities have been running a pretty race for
years on the population question and we believe
we are ahead Of our Berks neghbor The Read
ing real estate experts declare that this increase
In population will mean that the valuation of
Reading property will be enhanced from seventy
to one hundred millions. And not only is this
advance to take place in the city property, but the
outlying districts will be brought into the city
limits. Farms throughout the county will in
crease in value During the last few years in
Berks farm values have decreased largely be-
cause OF the rush of the young men from farm
life TO the cities. The point Of the Reading real
estate mans argument is that real estate is de.
srable as an investment. And of course this IS
true. AM reason shat he may advance regarding
Reading is applicable also to Wilmington. This
Reading prophecy may be little rosy, but the
principle is true, as is witnessed by the increase
of values of Wilmington properties and the active
development Of suburban tracts.

Water Department Preparing
to Furnish City With
Pure Water

The Water Department has completed
the building OF the big S5.0OOOOO gallon
reservoir on the Weldln farm. the ground
for which was purchased some time ago
and the operation Of the immense water
supply basin for the city win begin
between the middle and last Of Sep
tember.
The reservoir is one Of the largest Of its
kind in this section Of the country and
when fully in operation win give 20 VIII
mington a better supply of water for
drinking and household purposes than it
has ever enjoyed before
The preliminary nlters. with daily
capacity OF 100000 gallons have been
completed and viii be operated as soon rs
the mains are laid which VIII carry the
water to the Cool Spring reservoir. Work
men Of the department are now engaged
in laying the distributing main from Del
aware avenue and Van Buren, street to
the gate house Of Cool Spring and there
yet remains about 200 feet to be placed in
position. AS soon as this is completed
the work OF making the forcing main con-
necuons at the city mill pumping station
viii begin.
Il Is estimated that the preliminary fiit-
ers viii take up at least 90 per cent Of
foreign substance that appears in the
water and that when the regular filters
are constructed the water viii be as pure
as can be made by modern process. The
work OF building the regular filters has
not been begun as yet but will be started
as soon as possible after the preliminary
hhers are placed in operation. Bids for

sELFIsHNEss IN POLITICS.

II HE writer OF the letter which appears in our
Il Peoples Column, and signed Delaware
New is one OF the most alert among the busi-
ness men Of this city who has been impressed
with the frequent mention OF the City Beautiful"
idea that has been discussed in the local papers.
He hits upon the cause Of the Indifference
found among many men to political conditions
as they exist in almost every community, and his
explanation Of why the political grafters and pro-
fessionais, as he terms them, exert such sway
over peoples minds, contains much truth. The
average man is 50 tied up with his own business
affairs that he gives but little real study TO poll
tics, and he has not the time to devote to these
nattszs II the average man were really more
Evening journal., 1907-08-06

serious in his political beliefs and opinions, and
had the time or the inclination to devote to po-
litcal matters, we should have much better gov
ernment
There are, of course, class of politicians who
are constantly scheming, their principal idea being
to serve their own pocketboo<s. Usually they
found in both parties. They are here, there
and everywhere. In every movement they look
at the selfish point of view Their scope is mar
row. The welfare Of the people at large is idle
chatter to them. This has been amply illustrated
in Delaware politics, and was strikingy
brought out at our recent legislative session. In
fact such a spirit hovers over every Delaware
Legislature. Latent in the people is their power
to break down this sentiment by sternly rebuSing
the selfish notion in politics that now dominates
legislative affairs in Delaware and if more of our
citizens showed the interest that the writer of
this letter maniiests, revolution would ensue in
political life i'll Delaware.
Regarding the increase in the salaries of en-
ployes Of the Street and Sewer Department, the
writer of the letter voices protest that is ap-
proved by many persons in the community. The
department, according to the statements of those
connected with it, has long been cramped because
of a lack of funds, and the halt in the city work
and the deplorable condition of many of the
streets of the city have been attributed to a lack
Of funds by the department. To increase salaries
in such an emergency when the city has bor-
rowed money for the specific purpose of perma-
nent Improvements is very questionable policy
to pursue. And questionable also is the talk of a
municipal paving plant 1t is doubtful under the
present conditions whether such a Dant as Is
suggested would not be more expensive than it
would be for the city to buy the paving from
reputable concerns. AT least municipal paving
planttis a step that should not be taken without
the most serious deliberation and investigation

LYCEUM OPENS
FOR THE SEASON

Houses which were capacity marked
the opening Of the Lyceum Theatre for
the season yesterday. Electric fans to
keep the interior Of the theatre cool tn
warm weather had been placed by the
Morris Electric Company. The house has
been retouched and recarpe.ed
The play yesterday was "A Race Across
the Continent" a new melo-drama pro-
duced by A. II. Woods. OF course there
was a wealth Of scenery for scenery al
ways is a feature of the Wood produc-
tions. but there was a clever company as
well. AS the name indicates there IS a
race across the continent, the scene OPEN
ing in the Klondike and ending in New
York, with a number Of incidents like
the duel i'm an airship and considerable
gun play thrown IN. OF course the villain
comes TO grief in the end. He always does
in a melodrama, and the audience would
not have been pleased had he not.
Naturally there is considerable trouble
in bringing him to grief and the hero has
to make good" in more than one sltua-
ton. James Heenan is the hero and he
looks and acts well. Charles J. Wilson is
Tom Darrol who causes the trouble. and
Max schrade is the Frisco Kid, who is
nearly as bad. Miss Edythe Rowland is
Sylvia Crane. tho girl from the East, ard
incidentally the heroine who is compelled
TO put up with all kinds OF ill treatment,
but does It gracefully. Henrietta Tedro is
"Blondy of the Klondlke." who is anxious

bach a good-hearted German woman with
a number of clever sayings. There are
numerous others in the company who do

sented this evening and tomorrow after
noon and evening.
Some idea Of the scenery carried by
the company is gained from the fact that
fourteen stage hands are required to-
handle the scenery.

ADMISSION By HEDLEY.
Subzcay Service Not Up to Posi-
bilities, He Says.

Frank HedIev general manager for the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company, did not keep MS
figures the possibilities of subway operaIoh
down to the present maximum service yesterday al
a hearing before Chairman WILCOX Of the Public
Service Commission Fo- several minutes Chair-
man WILCOX poked questions at him as to why the
present service not up to MI Hedleys pos
sibites'
The railroad official was describing the compli-
cations and possible dangers which would result
from the installation Of block signals and safety
devices the local subway tracks. as the COM
mission has proposed. He declared that 1t would
handicap the officials that operation OF trains
would be much slower. Then he swung somewhat
off his subject declaring that without safety de-
vices the road was doing well, and that when the
e6th street station improvements were completed
the local trains could be without crossing
tracks at grade there. which would permit much
more rapid operation of the trains.
I'VE could run, under those conditions. ffty-one
trains hour" said Mr.. Hedley This would
be increase Of about so per over the great
est possible number which we could operate under
present conditions"
About so per cent? Then. according to your
figures. you ought to be able run thirty-nine
trains an hour now remarked Mr.. Wilcox. How
many do you rum"
Mr.. Hedley admitted that the greatest number
ever operated was thirty-four trains hour, and
that this was maintained only for forty-minute
period
But your contract with the city calls for thirty
six trains an hour, does 1t not? persisted Mr. VIII
cox Mr.. Hediey admitted that 1t did, but said
that the company under present conditions had
oeen unable TO get to that rate Of operation
and he didn't see how the officials could do much
more than they were doing to afford maximum
service.
Mr. Wilcox asked several more questions along
that line ard then permitted the hearing to drift
pack 10 block signals While there will be many
more hearings that subject. II fairly probable
that the commission will ask tha railroad to try
these signals on the local tracks. In conjunction
with some OF the other improvements recommended
by Bion j. Arnold recently.

CARPENTERS TO RESIST CUT.
Locals Instructed Not to Accept Reductions
propos ] ~ Masters Association.

The Greater New York District Council OF the
Brotherhood of Carpenters. on behalf OF Its
various locals, which have an aggregate MEM
bership of 10 000 decided yesterday to resist the
proposed cut by the Master Carpenters Associ-
alton in the wages Of carpenters. All the locals
have been instructed not to accept the reduction
on the other hand. the members Of the Mas
ter Carpenters Association say that the pro-
posed reduction is imperative on account OF the
slackness of business about one-hah OF the
mechanics in the building trades being now idle.
while there poor prospects for improvement
In the conditions. The carpenters trade is the
only one under the arbitration plan in which
up to the present a reduction In wages has
been proposed notwithstanding the large num-
ber of men idle.
The final session Of the conference committees
of the Master Carpenters Association and ne
carpenters over the proposed reduction will tale
place within the next four days. and clash is
expected.
The trade arbitration board of the Mason
Builders Association and the bricklayers'
unions have started negotiations over the wages
to be paid to fifteen thousand brickayers' labor
ers when their present agreement expires. on
December 81.
