trolled by Board Of Water Com
missioners. composed of three mem
bers appointed by the Mayor, for six
years. The members must not all be
of the same political party. The
Board also has charge of the collec-
ton of water rents. The schedule of
rents is fixed by ordinance of City
Council Expenses of the depart
ment are met by an appropriation Of
not less than $4,000 each year.
Moneys received by the department
are paid by the Registrar to the City
Treasurer.
Public Health.
The Board Of Health is composed
Of the Port Physician, two other ply
sicians, a practical plumber and a
business man, all appointed by the
Mayor for a term Of two years. This
board has supervision of all matters
pertaining to the public health. It
may abate nuisances within and be-
yond the City limits to the distance
of one mile; and makes all contracts
for the collection and disposal Of
garbage. The Secretary OF the
Board of Health is also Registrar Of
vital statistics. It is his duty to keep
separate lists Of all births, deaths
and marriages in the City. City
Council makes an annual appropri-
alton of not less than $1,000 dollars
for the use of the Board.
Meat and Milk Inspection.
City Council appoints a milk and
meat Inspector for two year terms
each. The Meat Inspector must in
spect any and every place within the
City, all animals designed for food.
must prevent the slaughtering of
diseased animals, and the sale of the
meat for food. He must cause all
tainted and unwholesome meats to

Police Department.
The Police Department of the City
is under the control of a Board of
Police Commissioners, composed of
three members appointed for six
years by the Associate Judge Of the
Superior Court, resident in New Castle
County. 1t is the duty of this Board
to preserve the public peace within
the City, prevent crime, arrest
offenders. protect the rights of per-
sons on property and guard the pub
/ lie health. This Board also has con-
( troll of the fire alarm and police tele-

is selected and its officers appointed

measure. make the surroundings
healthy. They are the natural drain
age of the sewage from the city by
three or more rivers and creeks
The Brandywine creek-eXtendin
as it does through the nothern and
western end of the city-makes a
thorough drainage for all of that sec
tion through which it passes; and, as
il is not a tide water stream, its ad-
vantages are greater by two fold
The water and sewage are always go
ing in the same direction away from
the city.
The Christiana river on the south
side of the city, likewise forms a ma
tural drain for the sewage, and
though it is a tide water stream the
part OF the city through which it
flows is not heavily populated.
The great and beautiful Delaware
river on the extreme eastern end,
forms the final and best drain that
a city could possess, not only car
ing for that border of the city by
which il passes. but draining both
the Brandywine creek and the Chris
tiana river, the contents of which
it carries away never to be re-
turned.
In conjunction with the natural re-
sources for draining, the city of Will
mington has probably one of the best
and most complete sewer systems
in the country, and every day in the
year this system is being added to
and increased in usefulness owing to
the demands of the rapidly-increasing
population.
Almost all the old and inadequate
parts of the system have been re-
newed by modern ana sanitary equip
ment that has been installed with
sufficient capacity TO care for The
needs in that line for years to come
and all OF the new sewers for the
newly-developed parts of the city are
/ being built by experienced engi-
neers who devote their entire time
/ to the study of such matters
The Board of Health is compelling
all properties that are not connected
with the sewer to do so. The build.
/ ing laws compel all new properties tC
make the necessary connections while
in process Of erection. This not only
adds to the beauty of a community
but as an adjunct to good health {
stands paramount as a factor.
While the city has always had 4;
good supply Of pure water for drink
ing purposes, the Water Department
has just completed one of the mos
elaborate and complete sand filtra
tion plants in this cohntry.

the sewage system, by paving the
streets with new and modern street
paving. Many miles of streets have
been repaved, and but a short time
Will be required to place Wilmington
at the head of the list as a Eodernly
paved city. This statement, in itself,
shows that another item for the
health of the community is being add
ed to and the possibility Of diseases
lurking in the poorly-paved streets
is being rapidly eliminated.
Particularly is this so in the thick
ly populated districts where daily
new paving is being installed. All
alleys and small streets are being
paved with the most modern prod
ucts. Consequently the surroundings
are more sanitary and healthy.
For a number OF years this city
has been free from epidemic of all
kinds, and this is probably due TO the
rigid quarantining OF all homes or
places where a contagious disease Is
found.
The Board OF Health not only fumi-
gates thoroughly all places that have
been exposed to contagious diseases,
but furnishes without cost, TO those
who are unable to buy, when neces-
sary, antitoxins for the subcutaneous
injection in suspicious or real cases
OF diptheria.
All homes where contagious dis
eases OF any kind exist are placarded,
and a rigid quarantine established
and maintained until the recovery Of
the patient and all danger Of further
contagion has been passed.
The location of the city is such
h, that Il is supplied by the best mar
kets IN the world, and the inhabitants
are enabled to secure fresh vegetables
and foodstuffs in abundance. The
| Federal and city meat inspection laws
assure to our people pure and
wholesome supply of meats, which is
necessary in building up a healthy
system and community.
Wilmington mechanics and work
men in general are blessed with un-
usual surroundings that are hygienic
and sanitary. About fifty percentum
of the workshops and mills are OF
modern construction. Forty per-
centum are buildings that have been
made so by alterations. The remain.
ing ten percentum, while hot strictly
up-to-date in hygienic and sanitary
surroundings, are even thus above
