easter is being urged TO be a candidate
tor the position. When Mayor Rodney
was elected to the board Mr.. Lancaster
had been urged by delegation to be a
candidate for the place, but Mr.. Ian
caster withdrew in favor of Mayor
Rodney, who succeeded his. deceased
father on the board.
City Council at a special meeting last
night discussed at length the work at
the Delaware Street wharf. From time
to time it has been said that the foun-
dation of the concrete wall was not
sufficient TO bear the weight of the
wharf. The discussion between the
members last night waXed warm, and
it was finally decided to drive pilings to
have solid base. While the additional
cost will be more than one thousand
dollars, il was deemed best TO make the
change in the plans. Engineer KINNEY,
of Wilmington, was retained in charge
of the work at a compensation of . per
cent. on the cost. The new wharf front
/ will be one solid concrete wall tied
| back we'll so that once having the
proper breast the city will have good
| wharf. The Trustees of the Commons
will bear half of the cost of the work.
Miss Irene Watts automobile became

streets Before the young woman could
! stop the car it crashed into the side
porch of the Boulder residence and de-
molished the uprights of the porch.
