NORMAL NOTES.

Commencement is always busy
time, but this past week seems un-
usually SO.
Wednesday was the day to visit
the art room, and we would be we'll
paid for the visit. The walls,
screens, and tables were covered
with work that would seem to those
of us who had not seen the students
at work, could not be done by them.
The Manual Training also is ex-
cellent and Mr.. Whitney deserves
credit for the exhibit.
Thursday and Friday were for
the Training School The pri-
mary department was the first day
and the grammar grades the Sec
ond day. The work in both de-
partments was taken from the stud
les in school and proved more fully
the proficiency of the work in the
regular school. The pupils deserve
more credit than the space we take
will indicate.
Friday evening the joint program
of the two literary societies was

WATER BOARD
WANTSNEWLAW
Win Ask Legislature to Legal.
lie Water Distribution
Outside City
SERVICE PAID CITY
$2,460 LAST YEAR

The Board OF Water Commissioners
this morning decided to ask the next
Legislature to amend tho laws. which
at present make It illegal for the city
TO SUPPLY people outside the city lim-
its with water Owing TO the illeg-
ality Of such service the board fixed
the same rates Of discount for these
places now supplied as were in force
last year, namely 10 per cent. on fiat
rates and five per cent. on meter rates.
A few months ago John w. Brady,
city solicitor, gave an opinion TO the
board that Il was Illegal for the city
to supply the town of Elsmorc with
water This was made after petit
ton had been received from that town
by the water boa d, asking that the
city connect it's services with a fra
hydrant IN that place.
Mr.. Bradys opinion has been the
subject of a great deal of comment
locally and the decision of a Reading,
Pa, Judge who has given notice 20
the city water department of that
place that all services without the city
limits being maintained by them must
be abolished seems TO support the
opinion of Mr.. Brady.
This morning the board received a
complete list Of consumers. who have
been supplied with city water outside
the limits OF Wilmington. OF this
list the duPonts. the Diamond State
Fibre Company and the Bluementhal
Company are largest users. The total
revenue from these services for the
past year was S2.46S11.

AUDITOR WON'T
PAY SALARIES
But City Employees VIII Get
Their Christmas Money
Nevertheless
OFFICIALS WILL MAKE
SALARY ADVANCES

After considering whether he would
approve the monthly payrolls OF the
city employees, for several days, City
Auditor John ID. Kurtz announced to-
day that he would not approve the
checks. He would not 80 into any ex-
PLANTATION. saying that he would make
that to Council on Thursday night. IL
is understood, however, that Mr..
Kurtz contends that IL is against the
city ordinance to pay the monthly sal
aries before the first of each month
and that the resolution passed by
Council on last Thursday night in
structing him to do so is not sufficient
to repeal an ordinance.
The men effected are the city Off
cials, directly under City Council; the
police, the Street and Sewer Depart
ment and Water Department employees
on the monthly payrOlls. All Will be
taken care of. however, as President
of Council Banning will pay the police,
Council and the miscellaneous pay
roll as he agreed TO; while the Street
and Sewer Directors, as individuals,
will pay the salaries of their employees
and the Board of Water Commission
ers will make salary advances to their
employees
President Sparks of the Street and
Sewer Department. said It was not the
intention of the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors to go over the head of the
auditor, but that the members OF the
board, individually, would see that the
men received their money
I'VE don't propose to advertise them
to the world that they have not five
cents TO buy candy for their children
on Christmas" he said.
President Shaw of the Water Com
mission said that none Of the monthly
pay checks will be passed by that
board but If any of the men need
money for Christmas they can get II
by giving a due bill for Il.
As the public school teachers are
paid in the middle Of the month they
are not concerned in the present
trouble.
President Of Council Banning will
be called upon 10 give his personal
check to all city employees who are IN
need of their money, they to turn over
to him their city check at the first Of
the month. This he said, to-day. he ii
prepared to do. The checks Will bs
drawn in a day or two and ample no
| tice will be given when they can b'
had and where to call for them.
