CITY LOSES
MUCH WATER
FROM CREEK
Supply Valued at $94,6O3 a
Year Taken by One Private
Corporation, Council Hears
HALF CT WATER DIVERTED;
SHORTAGE IS POSSIBLE

Interesting disclosures relative to
an enormous quantity Of water that
is being consumed from the Brandy
wine Greek, from which the city de-
rives no revenue, was made by
Councilman Weller e. Stover at the
meeting of City Council last evening,
following the reading of the commu-
nication from the Water Department
and the report Of Chief Engineer
Edgar NJ. Hopes. Jr.. of the great
quantity of water taken from the
Brandywine by the Joseph Bancroft
and Sons Company.
Colonel Slower declared that while
the report was being read he had
made a few notes, based upon the
information Chief Engineer Hopes
had embod ed in the report, showing
that 100000 gallons of water a day
is taken from the Brandywine Creek
by the Joseph Bancroft Company. and
this amount passes through their
sewer daily and Is absolutely ruined
so far as any further use is con-
cerned. The Councilman pointed ont
that this amount daily means 3S.-
5Oe,000 gallons for a week of > IL
days. or 2.2O0,O00,000 gallons a year
consumed from which the city re-
ceives no revenue. Colonel Stover
explained that If the city was deriv-
ing the same revenue from this va
ter that other corporations are com
PEELED to pay IL would mean a reve-
nue. of S3262O a day; s1.794.4O a
week, or a total of S93, ,293.20 a year
In addition to this, he pointed out
the report shows, that 131 houses
are being supplied with water from
the Brandywine Greek free of charge
which If paid for at the hat rate OF
SO a year would mean an additional
revenue of S1.310 a year, bringing the

waning of excitement following the
murder OF CASTOR Calmette, editor OF

caution TO prevent any untoward In
cident that might result from the re-
kindling OF passion when the funeral

crowds were in evidence. but no trou-
BILE occurred.
Before the hour set for the funeral
of Calmftte former Ministers caillauy

fore the Juares comittee investigating

who was then minister of finance
asked that the trial Of Henri Rochette,
the swindler, be postponed. Caillaux
cited political and other reasons, he
said and also declared he wished
to be Rochette's attorney.
Monis denied that Caillaux brought
any pressure to bear upon him to OBJ
tain the pOstponement. The procurer
general made no serious objection
to the delay, saying the prosecution
would be entirely prejudiced. though
it might run counter TO public opin-
ion, said Monis.

Silent crowds stood uncovered as il
