SAYS BRANDYWINE
Breeds 'SKEETERS
Complaint of Diversion of
Water Causing Stagnant
and Shiny Pools
SUGGEST THAT 1T BE
FLOODED AT TIMES

7. u. jackson has written letter
to the Board OF Health, a letter CON-
planning that the lack of water in the
Brandywine is causing the formation OF
stagnant and slime.covered pools in the
stream that now are breeding mosqui-
toes.
He attributes this condition to the
diversion of water from the Brandywine
higher up the stream, it passing down
the races instead OF following the natu-
raj water course.
A great change has taken place ia
the Brandywinc in recent years. The
once wide and copious flowing stream
that was admired by all is now narrow
and rockstudded and very low from
the third dam, at Broome street, where
the races have their head, to tidewater
near Market street. Where the water
coursed only a few years ago trees and
shrubbery and other thick growth now
flourish. The gradual wiping out Of
the beautiful stream is much comment
ed on, especially by persons who view il
from Washington street bridge.
Mr. Jackson's letter to the Board Of
Health is as follows;
MAY 27, 1914
Board Of Health, Wilmington, Del,
Gentlemen: in the present cam
paign against the mosquito and the de-
sire Of the Health BOARD to be informed
Of all places in the city where the mos
quito might breed, | would like to call
your attention to the present condi-
tion Of the Brandywine Creek from
West street to the falls below the b.
and o. bridge. It is truly a shame that
so beautiful a natural asset to this city
should be so neglected. 1t would be
we'll for a representative of the Health
Department to take little soiourn
along the banks Immediately above the
Van Buren street bridge, or else walk
out on the bridge itself and peer over
northward. There are now, and have
been for several weeks past, great
pools of stagnant water entirely coated
with green slime and mosquito larvae.
This section Of the city, ] daresay, is
troubled with these pests about as bad
az any section and by this charity be-
slowed upon them by our city they are
able to thrive in ideal conditions.
"And all this from the fact that dur
ing q dry spell, and many times last
summer when the weather was not
dry, all the water Of the Brandywine
was diverted from its natural course at
the falls. We see the surplus water
from the races pour from the falls at
Market street, which is very beautiful,
but this does not relieve community
Of a nuisance. And on Sundays the
water flows into the dye race just as
freely as on week days.
Cannot something be done to elimi-
nate this nuisance? Even if the creek
were flooded once or twice week.
should think this would materially inn
prove the situation.
Respectfully,
IT. f. jackson"

Two hundred residents of school
districts, embracing Newport, Rich
ardson Park. Marshallton and Bran
dywine Springs, gathered in the NJ. E..
Church, Richardson Park, last night,
and discussed the advisability Of

Of the four districts to call meeting
when the question will be put before
the voters
Addresses on consolidation were
made last night by DR.. e. l.. Cross
and DR.. Charles A. Wagner, State
commissioner of education.
In his address, superintendent
Cross briefly reminded the audience
of the overcrowded conditions exist
ing in the public schools at Rich
ardson Park, Newport and Marshall
ton. He pointed out that If centrally
located central hign school were Gre
ated 1t would probably have $50 stu
dents and would require four teach
ers.
In his address, Dr. Wagner briefly
told of the advantages secured to
the child and the school district by
the consolidation of the higher
grades in the public schools. He
especially pointed out the advantages
to be secured in the five districts sur
rounding the four towns. At the
conclusion of the meeting the resolu-
tion requesting Dr. Cross to order
the clerks OF the districts to call the
meetings at which the question will
be submitted to the voters was
adopted.
