Ford Sage That the City Could Buy All Rights to the Stream for $50,000 and He Asserts That Great Benefit Would Result From Lifting the Injune- A reporter visited Silverbrook yester day and went over the land chrough which the stream runs, that until recently carried off the drainage from the Ford Morocco Company'a factory, and which caused several law suits. The Ford Company has been compelled to lay a sewer a mile and half in length, its through factory which is now the pumped drainage from water Second from and West streets to Front and Adams streets at a great expense. The stream begins a short distance above the factory and winds down along the tracks of the B. railroad, on the edges of the lots on each side. The only farm land that the run intersects is at a point a few varda northwest of Eismere station.

Here it crosses two lots, the soil of which is stony and can never be tilled. One these is about 200 by 150 fees and another about 80 by 60 feet. About 500 varda below this point the stream joius Mill creek and thence runs down through some marsh land to the Christiana, into which empties. The stream carries off all the drainage water the tenement houses and other for several Equares around. "Beginning as far up as Eighth and Scott the drainage water runs to Fourth and Scott streets.

Here it is turned down to Union, and thence to Front streets, taking waste water from all the buildings, stables and pig pens in this vicinity. This runs down back of the car stable at Front and Union streets and empties into the stream. Peter J. Ford of the morocco company was seen at the factory, and asked about the statement that the Jessup and Moore Paper Company had to depend wholly on the stream for its supply of water. He emphatically denied the statement and said that nine months of the year the company is compelled to draw out its water from the Christiana.

that company had to depend on another source of water than the Christiana," he said, "it could buy from the Richardson estate eleven acres of land, with excellent water rights attached. The Rich ardson stream furnishes 90 per cent. of this water flowing north of Newport pike. Everything from that point to the paper works it could purchase and lay all its pipe for $30,000. Even if this could not be done the works could obtain their water from the city of Wilmiagton, as her firms do, instead of shutting down should the water run in the stream from the morocco factory.

fore the chancellor, which terminated in "During the progress of them suit beour having to shut off our draiuage water from the stream and pumping it into Wilmington, were twice arrested for contempt of court, and if the chan cellor bad been satisfied at everything tbe plaintiff swore to, he would have given us fifty years in jail Some things they swore to brought blushes to the cheeks of their own attorney. 1 positively deny that we ever thought of disposing of our refuse without any difficulty. In answer to the absurd statement that the city wonld be involved to the extent of $1,000,000 in awarding riparian rights, I will say, without fear of contradiction. that the city can buy all the through this stream at the highest price and run water pipes from Richardson's mills to the Jessup and Moore works, including the Richardson property, for less than $50,000 The Ford Company will present a communication to the Street and Sewer Department this evening stating, first that the dwellings throughout that portion of the city do certainly discharge large quantities of sewage into the stream: that all land owners contiguous to the city boundaries, as is the property of Dr. Joseph P.

Stidham, must be benefited by the present growth of the city to such an extent that it is selling for $2 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 to $5,000 per acre, and the more rapid advancement of the city is being retarded from the fact that manufacturing indus tries cannot locate on the stream except at the risk of law suit, despite the fact that the location of more houses and mills along the stream would greatly increase the city's revenue. Mr. Ford will present a memorial to the Legislature, stating the company's side of the case, and asking for the appointment of a committee to assess ages along the stream He says that this action has also been suspected by the plaintiffs in the suit, and they have stationed spies at times along the steeam te detect some contempt of the injunction. These, he says, are the self- same men who made records as swearers before the chancellor. Want a Gas Inspector.

The question of appointing a gas inspec.or is provoking considerable discussion. When the duties of the plumbing inspector were fixed by ordinance it was suggested that he inspect the laying of gas pipes, for which the gas company sbould pay him $300 annually. This WAS not done. The con sequence is that plumbers leave part of their work to be done by apprentice boys, and bad work with leakage gas-fitting is the result. The constant escape of small quantities of gas is unpleasant and wasteful, and though not, dangerous is disagreeable and offensive, end causes gas bills to be much heavier than other wise.

After floors bave to be taken up and plastering torn off at great expense to reach the leaking gAS pipes. The remedy for this is to have a gas-fitting inspector to examine all the work done. duty Plumbing Inspector Kane thinks shouid be done by the plumbing gas company paying Council as inspector without additional, salary, the part of the inspector's salary.

Reynolds Takes the Oaths of Office and Reads His Insogural Address--Be Recommends a New Ballot Law, Local Self-Government, a Constitu- tional Convention and Changes in the Divorce Laws and Favors the Improve- ment of the State Militia. Staff Correspondence EVENING JOERNAL. DOVER, Jan. 20. -Governor Reynolds was formally inaugurated day at noon.

The day was 88 bright as expected, but the ceremonies connected with the induction into office were never equalled in the annals of Delaware. Many the troopers came here yesterday, but the majority came in the regular and special trains this morning. In addition to the troopers the town is crowded with guests and sight seers. The first feature of the day was the inaugural parade. It moved at 11 o'clock and was formed as follows: the First Infantry in line, formed Loockerman street, right resting on New; the Cadet Batallion on Loockerman street, its right connecting with of First Infantry: Troop First Cavalry, on Lookerman street, its right connecting with the left of Cadet Batallion.

Troop was entrusted with the special duty of furnishing orderlies and sentries for the escort of the Governor elect. The line of march was as follows: Down Loockerman street to Bradford, to Fulton, to New, to Ninth, to Governor's Avenue, to Cecil, to State, to Public Square, where the troops were reviewed and the parade dismissed. The parade was led by Adjutant-General Kenney and staff, consisting of the following, officers: Lieutenant Acting Colonel Assissant A S. Kirk, First Infantry, Acting AssistColonel nepectorett J. Hart.

Immediately following was Hyatt's Military Band of Wilmington. It was followed by Colonel Marshall and staff, First Infantry, Cadet Corps of Delaware College, unde: command of Captain Brown. Governor Reynolds and tary of State D. T. Marvel, who were escorted from the Bayard House, together with the invited guests followed in carriages by Troop First Cavalry, as an escort.

All along the line of march Governor Reynolds was greeted with cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs. The parade was reviewed at the State House by the governor elect. At 12 o'clock he was escorted to the court room, where Chief Justice Comegys formally swore him in after Rev. J. A.

B. Wilson had offered prayer. The court room was crowded to its utmost capacity, many prominent people being present. Governor Robert J. Reynolds began his inaugural address with reference to the good financial condition of the state.

He said this was the result of the frugal administration, of the moderate resources, and recommended legislation that would prevent collectors from using any portion of state funds for personal use and profit. Under the head of Federal relations he said that the unwise and unpolitic increase of tariff taxation in foreigu commerce the foreign markets for our exports and caused a great de pression, especially in Delaware, in the rewards of agriculture. He favored the appointment of a state superintendent of free schools, who would also have the supervision of thin colored schools. He favored that state furnish the school books. He thought the treasurer should have the cust stater all school funds.

He favored local self government in the counties and hundreds and hoped reformatory measures would receive due attention by the present Legislature. He said: "I strongly favor such changes in the present law as shall allow each hundred to constitute separate district, and elect its own commissioner to the Levy Court, This would also serve to secure the presence of a minority representation which is most useful and desirable in restraining party excess. The proposition to make the Levy Court Commissioners salaried officers may be open to the objection that no measure of attention to duty is thereby secured, and that by payment per diem, increased diligence is certainly induced 4 The election of men of high personal character, discreet and capable, will be found to be the most reliable and effective safeguard against extravagance or neglect of public Elections, The governor expressed himself very fully on the aubject of elections, and said it was one of the earliest duties of the Ganeral Assembly to reform the methods and protect the purity of elections by the enactment of such regulations of the ballot 88 shall secure the honest expression of public opinion at the polle. He recommended the exaraination of the Australian ballot system and the formation of a joint committee to formulate a ballot law. He said that the Force bill implied a want of confi dence in the people and said its passage would be an insult to their intelligence.

He objected to such Federal interference as had been made in appointing U. S. marshals at the last election. Constitutional Convention. grave question of reforming our present state constitution has long been agitated, and efforts for the revision and amendment of our fundamental law by legislative proceedings authorized by the constitution have been disappointed.

Good faith demands that the question of constitutional revision and reform be now submitted to the full free vote of the people, and that by recourse to the popular will, as the ultimate sovereign power of the state, party promises may be honorably and fairly kept and 8 genuine test of public sentiment upon this most important subject be made. I recommend that by present legislative enactment a special election be authorized to be beld on the third Tuesday of May next ensuing. in which the voice of the majority of our citizens can be declared and recorded for or against calling a convention, and that, in Speetal Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
