among some Wilminglonians over the
fear that the city water supply is in
adequate and infected with typhoid

There is no cause for such alarm.

VI disease germs are found In the
water supply. The water at present,
is safe but the Water Department has
no margin OF safety-it may be good
today or tomorrow. and with several
days OF rainy weather. the Brandy
vince sewer may overflow and cause
pollution. 10 Is the future potential
danger that confronts the city, oill-
cials say.
MIR Wells said the State Board Of
Health Will hold conference In
Dover on Monday and decision upon
definite action regarding the local
water situation will be reached.
After this conference local Boards
OF Health will be informed OF the de
cision. This does not imply that the
state Board OF Health desires TO 20

the contrary. they have no such inten-

that City Council will do lis utmost
in remedying the grave condition OF

bureau here will ardently promote
such efforts.
Mr.. Wells presumes that the water
supplies In down State towns Will be

GLARINGLIGHTS
BLIND AUTOISTS

Vigilance man "X" Of The Public
Safety Committee. reports the pres
ence almost nightly on the roads
about Wilmington OF a reckless mo-
torist who carries on his machine
such powerful spotlight that IL
enectually blinds on-coming drivers
and has been The cause OF a number
OF near accidents. Vigilance man "N"
believes that 10 will be only a ques-
tiOn OF time before serious acci-
dent occurs. if this reckless mOiorist
is allowed to run at large disregard
ing rules Of common politeness OF
the road, and putting the lives Of
other persons in jeopardy.
A number OF drivers have endeav-
ored TO get ihe license number on
the car OF this reckless moiorist. but
have failed 10 do u. The spotlight
blinds 0n-cOming machines TO such
an extent That driver after driver has
been forced to pull up on the side
OF the road and lel this man pass.
Vigilance man X" states that he has
met the car with the powerful spOi-
light on number Of occasions. One
man is reported as threatening TO
shoot the light out II necessary in
order 10 obtain a measure Of safety on
the road when this reckless driver Is
abroad at night.
Complaint also Is made that many
motorists carry an unusually strong
bulb in O0e Of their headlights which
they allow 30 glare and thus create a
condition OF danger which ordinary
road courtesy and consideration ought
TO prohibit.
There has been a gradual increase
i'm the number OF automobile acci-
IN, this oil anH "a ~
territory In the last two months. and
vigilance men are reporting many
dangerous practices.
One OF The serious conditions exist
ing here which creates situations
that tend TO accidents Is the fact that
many drivers are not observing the
new city traffic rule which provides
that the man on their right has thc
right Of way One Of the vigilance
men reports that machines are con-
stantly driving west on Eleventh
street. passing Washington street.
and paying no attention at all TO the
machines coming up the hill and driv-
ing south, which. OF course, have the
right OF way over a man who Is driv-
ing west. One man expressed the
thought that a great step forward
would be taken in eliminating acci-
dents, II this one rule alone were
generally obeycd.
Statistics compiled by the Delaware
Safety Council show that during the
period from April 10, 10 May 1 there
were so accidents OF all kinds in VIII
minglon. and that Of these. 29. or more
than One-half were accidents on the
