TO1! ELIMINATE HAZARDS
I-
In; an effort to .save time, Chief Davis,
1 of thisi Bureau of Water, Id preparing to
nulobldH i '-for Improvement and extcn-
I nlon contracts to be paid out of the
f $3,200,000 water items in the loan
' which is scheduled to pass Select Coun
cil on Thursday,
i First .on the list will come pumping
i equipment and lmprovcnents nt Tor
' resdale. necessitated by reason of the
recent Jireaklng of a crank shnft in
.the pumping -station. Next will be let
jjf'contracts for" pipe service extensions,
'o.'that builders will be able to proceed
with'home-bullding programs that have
becn:.long In contemplation.
f One of the main features of tho
i first' expenditures will be a fireproof
. building over the large 40,000,000 gal
lon pump at the Lardner's Point sta
tion which has been housed under a
temporary shed since Being placed in
service over n year ago. Monitors in
use in the boiler house nt Lardner's
Point will be reconstructed with fire
proof material with a view to safe
guarding the plant.
Similar elimination o hazards at
the Shawmont pumping station will
be undertaken while reconstruction
work at Queen J.unc will take up a
. percentage of the money to be made
' available after Mayor Smith signs the
" pending bill.
PARTY LOSES BOAT
W AND CLOTHES IN FIRE
' Pleasure Seekers Hide in Barn
and Sneak Home in One
f Piece Bathing Suits
If
With the exception of very abbre
viated bathing suits, a' pair of trou
sers was the only article salvaged from
the burning of the good ship Bear Cat,
the thirty-foot motorboat owned by
William Hardy, president of the Mon
mouth Club, of Gloucester.
Hardy and seven fellow clubmen had
a most exciting and embarrassing ex
perience early yesterday morning when
the Bear Cat burnt to the water's edge
off the wharf at Smyrna, Del. The
voyagers had run out of fuel and Hardy
and Harry Hamilton, a member of the
party, agreed to go for gas. They were
in bathing suits nt the time and while
they were gone their four companions
also disrobed, donned bathing suits and
took a cool plunge.
Upon the return of the fuel foragers
the excitement began. While endeavor
In to fill the tank there was a sudden
explosion and a mass of flames shot up
when the gasoline took fire. Hardy and
Hamilton were painfully burned about
the bands and arms, but escaped serious
Injury by1, jumping overboard. Before
making the leap, however. Hardy
grabbed for bis trousers. As the flames
swept the boat the clothing and all the
valuables of the party were burned.
Led by Hardy, who took precedence
by his more complete attire, the party
sought shelter in a Smyrna barn until
the first morning train for Philadelphia.
They arrived in this city in a baggage
car, waited until all the passengers bad
left the train and then made a dash for
the men's retiring roof. The club was
then notified and an automobile was sent
to the aid of the stranded clubmen.
Besides Hamilton, Hardy's compan
ions In misfortune were Joseph Chces
man, Walter Butler, Bernard Ash
worth, ".Tohn Harrison and Clifton
Carey. Most of them hold responsible
positions at tho Gloucester shipyards.
