B. Phelps, the water exhert, who recently niad'e an exhaustive inspection and study of the Wilmington water-supply was- re ceiveesterday by Mayorkp; Moore ?ffpm Surgeon General Rupert Blue, --of; -the United States Public Health -Service. Justks .forecast ?in The. Sfcaiy.L Prof. Phelusj whoi professor in harge of the Hyglenidllaboratory, Washington, does not look with favor upon the proposition to secure the water, supply from deep welis. He says ; that the proposition . involves many elements of uncertainty.; He finds that the pre sent water supply ; is on the whole quite satisfactory, -, though . several changes in the plant are recommend ed and their immediate adoption Ts urged. If the source of supply is to be changed he rather favors the idea of going to the northwest branch of the Cape Fear, at some point above Navassa. The conclusions and recom mendations are given as follows: '' "As a result of a careful study of the present water supply of Wilmington and the possibilities of - a deep well supply and other river supplies, the deep well project has been found to involve many elements of uncertainty and to be definitely lacking in that it would supply an undesirably hard wat er and the continued use of the river water is strongly recommended. "The present water supply as it is now operated is on the whole quite satisfactory. Every effort should be made to maintain the purification plant at the highest possible degree of efficiencyrand to this end certain changes seem , imperatively necessary. The suggestion, of communicating channels between the old and - new sets of filters made by the chief engi neer, Mr, John W. Sweeney, is an ex cellent one and should be adopted. This will make . it possible . to utize for the first time the entire filter ca-, pacity of 'the plant. The connections which are being made between the two sets of settling basins will also prove of great benefit. It would be still more advantageous if piping con nections with- the pumps could be so arranged that these two sets of basins could be used in parallel as well as in tandem. This would not only give the maximum time for coagulation but would allow the minimum horizontal velocity of flow through each basin thus premitting the most efficient seaimentation of coagulant and per mittintr savin er in wash water. The force main and wash water lines should be equipped with properly con structed Venturi meters. It is impos cthio tn .rrrrifrlv control the ooeratiori of a plant of this type without definite knowledge at all times of the amount of water being used. .

If on the other hand, the Northwest Branch project is to be adopted in the near future it is not deemed ad at this time, to enlarge the r.naeulatlne: basins. Farther study of the latter project will doubtless indi cate that the basins have at present sufficient , capacity for the treatment of that water. - : . "The foregoing recommendations should be acted upon at once in the ir.arost nf thp health of the -commun ity and are irrespective of any action that may be men upon omer pi ej ects. Whether deep wells or a new intake are to be investigated, the pres ent plant requires tnis minimum oi at tpntion to safeguard the public health It is believed that these steps are sufficient to properly safeguard health tt,ar nnnairipratinni are merely of nossiblv of economy. It ' must be admitted, how ever, that the objections to the pres- ccto.-m ovon lindpr its most effl- cient management are very real and that if the people of Wilmington de sire and can afford better water sup it i their right-and privilege to be heard in this matter. .- .. . "Of the various alternative - projects that have been considered the exten sion of the intake on the Northwest Branch of the Cape Fear river is by far the most promising. It is recom mended that the necessary engineer ing studies involving the cost of the East Branch syphon, the two miles of pipe line and the low life pumping sta tion be undertaken at once. There are no serious engineering problems -involved here and the necessary; engi neering , studies, can be made without unreasonable expense. . At the same time it is recommended that, chemical and bacteriological, witdles oT the water of the canal alluded to be under taken. These should be made with the object of determining the general chemical cnaracterization of thewater and the possibilities of its, cam1 treatment; the hygienic characteris tics of the water with special reference to determining whether or not any pollution from Wi mington reaches this point; and Anally what, saving. in chemicals, sulphate of aliiminum. soaa ash and chlorine would ; b indicate? bv the use of this water.

Announcement of a reduced rate for ' electric current for power effective January 1st, was made to their customers in a letter yesterday by the Tidewater Power Company. The rating of 7, 5 and 2 1-2 cents per kilowatt hours is changed tp 7, 5 and 2 cents, while a change is also made in the number of kilowatt hours, that must be used in order to obtain the lower rates. , ' '-: A Tidewater official stated yester day .that it was decided some ' time ago to make the reduction on January 1st and that the present action of the company had nothing whatever to do with the company s oner at a recenx meeting .of the City Council to apply the rates for electric power now in enect m Kaieigh ana Goldsboro, if a majority of the users of electric cur rent here desire it. ' U The question of "applying the Ra leigh and Goldsboro rates will be sub mitted to the customers of the Tide water Power Company within a few days. The rates now in force for power are 7 cents per kilowatt hour up to 21 kilowatt hours per horse power per month;- 5 cents per kilo watt hour for the next 63 kilowatt hours per horse power per month, and 2 1-2 cents per. kilowatt hour for all current .in excess of the above amount. The reduction now made is in the number of kilowatt' hours in order to secure the lower rates and a reduction of a half cent per kilowatt hour for all current used in excess of 80 kilowatt hours per horse power. ' Following is a copy of the letter mailed to the customers using elec tricity for power:;. "Dear Sir: We beg to 'advise you that on and after the first of January there will be a reduction in the rate for electric current for power. These rates will be as follows: "7c per kw. hour for the first 20 kw. hours per horse power per month, which constitutes the minimum bill. "5c per kw. hour for the next 60 kw. hours per horse power per month. "2c per kw. hour for all current in excess of the above.

The committee has not yet received this report, and as the time for the gen eral hearing is now only a short time off, being set for next Monday morn ing, a reduest was sent to him yester day afternoon that he forward it at once, if possible. Jacksonville is making a strong fight for the place as is - also Savan nah and Charleston. Other cities wanting the depot are Fernandina. Fla.. and Brunswick, Ga. These cit ies have all sent delegations to Wash ington and presented fully their rea son for wanting the depot. Next Monday delegations . from all these cities will attend a general hearing before Mr. Sweet at Washington when an opportunity will be given for them to discuss the matter in a general meeting. NEW BANK BUILDING. Bids Will be Opened Saturday for Murchi son's New Home.

Murchison, the well known New York architect, who has charge of the plans for the new structure. Mr. Murchison has been here since Saturday and has been enjoying sev eral days' outing at the Orton Plan tation in Brunswick county. The ' work of excavating for the foundation is going right ahead and is being done by the John Henry Mil ler. Co., Inc., . Baltimore, which firm is said to be also a bidder for the contract to construct the building. It is estimated that earth will have to be removed for 36 feet below the street level, to bed. rock. Another firm that has submitted a bid for the construction of the building is the Amsterdam Building Company, of New . York City, which concern has many large contracts ni the North. .

While the gifts of this popular business concern for the Yuletide season are always pretty those given this year excel anything that they have distributed before. .The Messrs. Hutaff are al ways progressive and. for. this reason their business has grown rapidly from year to year. After many days of anxious waiting by the little folks, Christmas Is here with all its attendant joy and good cneer. Old Santa Claus started out early last night on his rounds and be fore the sun rises will have distribut ed presents of all kinds to millions ot cmiaren' m trie united states, ay common consent the, -day will be giv en over to .enjoyment and pleasure and in Wilmington will have the gen eral air of Sunday with the exception of popping y firecrackers here and there. All day yesterday great crowds of people thronged the streets rushing hither and thither, buying presents, for loved ones and making final prepara tions tor the happy Christmas season There were many visitors -in Wil mington from other towns who came for the purpose of shopping and trad ing. The merchants did a splendid business, although they state that the volume for the week past will be be low the usual mark The express and parcel post traffic . was tremen dous and showed that the giving of Christmas presents is growing more popular. Early in the afternoon the Christ mas spirit had begun to manifest it self with the shooting of firecrackers, the blowing of bugles, the jangling of cow bells, and the various kinds of noises that youthful America has been able to devise for making a noise. To day will be' quieter, however, and will be very much like a: Sunday. t'UDiic omces -ana business houses will be closed during, the day save only a few 'stores tnat perhaps will open during the morning hours to give their.iCnstomersxan opportunity to exchange goods fory other sizes, if they so desire, 'or to,ive some for getful shopper an opportunitv of pur chasing a belated Christmas present. jp or the next weeK or so the city will be given over largely -;to the gaiety incident to the glad -holiday season. The college boys - and girls are home for the holidays and this brings added joy to many. They will aid much in enlivening tha social life of the city. Then, too. it is the season when busy persons take a few days off to visit relatives. It is Christmas, the time when people want to get to gether and recall old times and for get for a while the troubles and sor rows of life. Unfortunately, the weather man could hold out little hope last -night for a clear day. ; His forecast was rains for today with cooler weather for tonight. He holds out brighter hopes for tomorrow,.! however, when he says it will be;fair and cold. Then, too, he may -he surprised today by the sun beaming;. lorth. unexpectedly tor he has been known to make mistakes. But after all it isn't the weather that makes Christmas; it is the spirit that counts and Wilmingtonians have this to an eminent degree, v The formal beginning of the Christ mas celebration in Wilmington was marked by th& Community Christmas e on the postomce lawn last night On account of the .drizzling rain many were kept away, -but a large number Dravea .tne,, eiemants ana- gatnerea around the immense cedar, beautifully qecorated witn -- scores of electric lights, to sing the old familiar Christ mas carols and .hymns. The tree, given by Re v.. J. S; Crowley, was sur mounted by a large star, emblematic of the Star of . Bethlehem. It was a pretty sight and fittingly represented the idea of Christmas." The Salvation Army yesterday dis tributed among the poor f amilibs of the city 100 or: more baskets of provisions- which will ; today afford a boun tiful repast to many who would oth erwise be deprived :of a Christmas dinner. This afternoon at the Sea men's Bethel, corner Front and Dock streets, dinner will be served bv the aaivauon Army to tne nomeiess young menand young women of the city followed by a Christmas tree for the little folks. This morning a division of the Yoke Fellows Band will take to the main convict camp of the county in East Wilmington a variety of gifts for the convicts. Mr. R. A. Burnett, superin tendent of the county roads, will lead the procession in his automobile, and it will be indeed a happy occasion for the unfortunates when they receive the donations- of candies, fruits, and other good things that have been pro vided for them.-: Another . division of the Yoke Fellows will go to the camp on Acorn Branch on a; similar er rand. According .to the usual custom the convicts will - be provided with a Christmas dinner and will be given the day for rest and recreation. And at the county home Christmas will be celebrated with an appetizing dinner that has been provided by the good people of Wilmington. Yester day afternoon Rev. u'. B. Clausen, Mr. J..J3. Huntington and others took sev eral automobile, j loads of turkeys and other things that go to mal?e. up a Christmas dinner out to the home so that it could be prepared for the sumptuous feast that will be served. ' For the seamen who are in port a bountiful dinner of appetizing food will be served tonight in the Memo rial Hall of St. Andrew's Presbyter Ian church. The arrangements for the dinner are in charge of Mr. T. C. Findley, and he" is . assisted by the members of .the Christian Endeavor Society and the Seamen's Friend So ciety. All the churches either have had or will have within the next few days appropriate exercises commemorative of the : Christmas season. , Christmas trees will be the means of bringing to the children-af the various Sunday schools suitable presents. - Some or the churches have already ; had their Christmas trees. r The worthy aim and ' purpose of Wilmington people id to see that eve ry family in ' the city has ; some re minder of the happy yuletide season.
