$4,000 MORE FOR
meter SYSTEM IN
CITY Residences

To allow the Board of Water Com
missioners to install more water
meters in this city under the meter
installation plan recently undertaken.
City Council last night gave first and
second reading to an ordinance pro-
Viding for a bond issue Of $50 900
which will be turned over 10 the wa
ter board for this purpose. The
ordinance will likely be given final
reading and be adopted at the meet
ing next week.
II was originally estimated that the
total cost of metering all metered
properties would be about $3.50. 900
Of This sum $4,000 has already been
turned over to the water board, with
which they have started the meter in
stallation work and the $4,000 pro-
vided by the ordinance presented last
night will make 100000.
The following letter letter from the
water board was received BY Council
last night:
The installation OF meters on un-
metered properties provided for bv
Council by special fund has pro-
gressed satisfactorily. We have in
stalled from May Is to July "a q
total Of 1887 meters, on an average
Of about 900 per month. At this
same rate of progress our appropria-
ton Of $4,000 will be exhausted dur-
ing the fall and we hereby make an
plication for an additional amount Of
$4,000, on account, needed Septem-
Der 10, TO continue the installation
SO that we will not have II dis
charge men who are thorougb1x, ~,

BABY IS MANNED
By DYNAMITE CAP
Little Robert Crawley Uses
Hatchet on Cap With
Painful Results
YOUNGER BROTHER
ESCAPES INJURY

AS the result Of wounds received
yesterday when he pounded dyna-
mite cap with a hatchet, Robert, the
four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Leon Crowley, Of No 1241 Walnut
street. Is being closely watched by
his parents and physicians. The
youngster is suffering from two Sc
yerely burned fingers, a slight burn
on the body and several bruises. He
narrowly escaped death.
The cap which exploded was found
yesterday by the little fellow after
his mother had taken 1t from the
drawer OF a cupboard. The explo-
sive to which was attached two
pieces Of wire was picked up a year
ago by Mr.. Crowley following the
presentation of the Last Days Of
Pompeii," at Shellpot Park He used
the wire and placed the cap in the
cupboard drawer.
When the drawer was emptied yes
terday Robert picked up the cap and
securing a hatchet started to chop
the explosive into bits. He struck
the cap twice but 1t failed to explode.
The third blow resulted In a deafen-
ing roar. An instant later Roberts
fingers were found to be badly burn
ed and an examination afterward
showed he was slightly burned about
the body.
John, his brother, who is two years
old, stood near as the cap exploded.
He escaped with slight burns. The
brick on which Robert had placed
the cap was blown to bits. There
was enough dynamite in the cap to
have destroyed building.

players, fair and gallant, scattered for

Two hundred grangers and friends at

BANKERS BUSINESS
DIGEST Sees BETTER TRADE

The August business digest Of the
National Banks of Delaware says;
while Il cannot be said that the
real improvement in trade conditions
is more than noticeable. there is de-
cidedly healthier undertone and some-
thing has been created during tho
past 30 days IN the way Of founda-
ton for future commercial and finan-
cial operations The past 30 days has
been a rather strenuous period as
every man in business has been test
ed almost to the limit Of his ability in
deyiBing the ways and means Of im-
posing his own particular business.
There is plenty Of money in the
country, and there are indications
that money will be loaned more freely
on mortgages and securities OF that
class, which win mean that the money
will finally find it's way into CONNER
cial channels.
Business failures for June totaled
1,054, with liabilities of 45 million
dollars, compared with 1.060 failures
in June Of last year, with liabilities OF
Ia million dollars. The number OF
failures was slightly less, the liabili-
ties we're much heavier, but the as
sets were much heavier
Dividends and interest disburse-
ments for July amounted to 244 mil
lions compared with 266 millions last
