WATER SUPPLY IN
CONSTANT DANGER
Engineer Van Trump of Water
Department Says Sewer Con
struction Imperative.

The construction of n sewerof sufficient
capacity to carry off the waste and refuse
from the plants which now pollute Will
mingtons water supply is the only way
in which permanent relief oan come from
the danger which continually threatens
it, said Chief Engineer $. ". Van Trump
of the water department yesterday IN
discussing the danger to the city from
the contamination of its water supply.
The principal sources of the pollution
of the Brandywine are the chemicals used
in the manufacture Of dyestufs. The
conclusion had been arrived at, he SAID,
by process of elimination in whichthe
Brandywine had been divided into six
districts With but one exception the
expert had found that all that was necess-
sary to insure perfect water supply was
the regular filtration process. But the
other area disclosed large quantities Of
dyestuffs, all of which were proved TO
have emanated from one plant. No
blame attached 10 the plant, because
il conforms TO the law and dumps the
refuse into the sewer.
Mr.. Van Trump said that n simultane-
GUS break in the sewer in question and
the machinery at the filtration plant would
result in the polluted waters flowing
unmolested into the city water pipes TO
be consumed by the people. 1t is shame,
he said. for any community to be con
stantIv menaced by such a condition,
and until the sewer needed Is constructed,
efforts 10 purify the Brandywine would
be fruitless.
The cheapest avoidance would be for
the CITY Council 10 authorize a bond
issue fer the sewer Until the sewer II
built the city ran expect no permanent
guarantee. Frequent breaks in the sewer
have become a nightmare 10 those charg-
ed With keeping the water supply pure.
The most recent Of these was week ago
when the pumps had to be stopped for
several hours until the break could be
remedied The city is forced to spend
several thousand dollars every year for
chemicals 10 kill the increased baclili
resulting from the contamination.
II was admitted by MIR Van Trump
i that conditions could not be permitted
i to continue indefinitely, even though i
was necessary % suspend the operation
of the plant in question. This vas 9
contingency 10 be avoided, he said. but
was not without the zone of possibilities
as the city's health was considered para
mount 10 everything else. lhe water
authorities have power to take such
step. he SAID and if forced 70 do =
would have 10 take such action.
While the moving If the clty's intake
u Rockland was desirable, Mr.. Var
] Trump was of the opinion that the cost
would be prohibitlve especially az thf
present modern plant would practically
have to be scrapped Within ten year
h. declared. this may be found feasible
but at present vas hardly worth consider
ing except as plan for future develop

PAST YEAR A RECORD
:OR CITY BUILDING
Permits Total Over Seven Mil
lion Dollars for 1874 Prof.
ects, Large and Small.

Records Of remarkable year of build
ing activity in Wilmington arc epitomlzed
hy the annual report of permits issued, IN
the period, Nav |, 1919, to April 30, 1870,
by Ellis L. Preston, building Inspector,
the totals of which were printed yesterday
in connection with the proceedings OF
Council
The details as rule speaf for them
selves In such a way that they do not
readily yield to analysis.
II may be observed that the proportion
of dwelling permits to the total number IS
abnormally small, almost exactly Is per
cent This ratio is also closely maintained
on the basis of costs.
If allowance he made from some OF tue
other items, such as apartments, and per-
centage of alterations, the inclusive pro-
portion of increased dwelling accommo-
dation may be brought up to 20 per cent,
still low ratio. !,
The variety of projects also furnishes
food for thought, as they range from dove
cotes to office buildings, concrete pits to
chimney stacks, and ice plants to heating
plants.
The amount of fees collected demon
strates that the department IS not only
sclf-sustaining, but a source OF revenue,
even at the very modest fees charged Tor
permits. 1t is also an assurance OF the
vigilance Of the Inspector in enforcing the
statute providing that all projects shall
take out a permit, since the bulk OF the
permits handled are for small projects,
some as low as $50 in amount, but whose
control is essential to prevent them, IN
many eases. from becoming menace 70
surrounding structures. While dnly
guarded from being oppressive, the build
ing regulations Of the city should be made
more stringent. rather than less III view
of their importance as precautionary pre-
yentive measures.
