DRINKING FOUNTAIN
WAS OLD LANDMARK
Figure Removed From Market
Street Was Gift to City Fifty
Years Ago.

The drinking fountain which stood
for more than fifty years on Market
street In front of the old City Hall and
which has now been removed by the
Wilmington Fountain Society was
erected there In July. 1870. according
to the recoris of the organization
which had been formed In May OF the
same year. This particular fountain
was a gift TO the city by the Misses
Sarah and Anna Shipley and when
purchased the cast iron figure and
fountain cost 5000. The figure of a
woman which surmounted the pedes-
tai was not symbolic of anything In
particular 80 far as the history Of this
city Ia concerned.
The fountain has been broken up fol-
lowing It's removal and will not be put
up elsewhere. II had served its use
fulneEs and was considered more or
less dangerous and for this reason II
WAS taken down. The city members
contemplate putting an ordinary
drinking fountain In its place but this
has not been definitely determined.
