SYSTEM FIRST
Board Of Water COHmiS-
SiOrerS NOT L key to Take
Over Lea Rights

From all indications. the Board OF
Water Commissioners viii not buy the
Lea water rights. at least not at tbs
time. one member Of the department said
to-day that the peop.e are demanding hlt-
cred water ard IL would be Impossible to
complete the proposed hltrat on system
and also acquire teh water rights at the
game time. There wouldn't be enough
money by lar 70 do it," he said.
Another thing standing In the way Ct
acquiring the water rights. is the fact"
said the water commissioner. that no
title can be given TO some Of the land in
volgei in the deal The present board does
not feel that It should acquire something
at great expense that has no real title.
These two reasons are believed to be suf-
hclent reason why the department should
not take over the water rights at this
time"

HEAVY TRAFFIC
ON THE PENNSY
Officials Say Local Business
is Heavier Than Ever
Before

Local officials Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad report that travel this season
both on the Maryland and Delaware di-
visions OF the road is heavier than IL
has been In any other summer season
for q number OF years past.
Travel is not confined 10 any particu-
lar point nor 10 any particular locality
as the mountain and seashore resorts
are receiving about an equal share Of
patronage
The thousand mile tickets are playing
an important part this season, as under
the regulations of the "Pennsy" this
year they are not confined 20 the ex-
elusive use Of the purchaser but may
be used by parties travelling together
This makes Il difficult to determine the
exact number Of people who leave a
given point. This fact also makes il
almost impossible for officials to regu-
late the number Of cars which are re-
quired on any particular train to ac-
commodate the travel as many OF these
tickets are purchased at branch offices.
AS an indication Of the heavy travel
on the Delaware division OF the road
1t is stated that trains of eight ten and
twelve cars went down the Delaware
division on Saturday and that In sew
eral instances II required two engines
to haul them. The train arriving in
this city early last evening from points
down the Delaware road was composed
of fourteen cars and was hauled by
two locomotives
