CITY GROCERS
SPEND HAPPY
DAY AT SHORE
Fifteen years ago a newly organized
body known as the Retail Grocers'
Lxchange, gave an excursion to Al
lantlc City. It was the first annual
excursion of that organization, and
was attended by about five hundred
people, which at that time was con
sidered a large crowd. Lach succès
sive year since then an excursion has
been given to the popular seashore
resort, with an increasing attendance
each year. The climax, however,
was reached yesterday when 2,000
people, comprising the grocerymen,
their wives, children, sweethearts and
friends, enjoyed the outing.
The attendance, In fact, was so
large that the railroad officials were.
compelled to divide the excursion into
three sections, comprising thirty-two
cars In all. Ten cars went on each
of the first two sections and twelve
on the last. The first section was
In charge of E. 0. Willis, the second
In charge of A. L. Carey, and the third
was directed hy William E. Skel
longer.
The grocers, who six days a week
measure potatoes and onions in
quarts, pecks or bushels, measured
thelr fun by the barrel yesterday. The
fact that the grocers carried their
families along with them only served
to make the outing more enjoyable,
and it any one started on the affair
with a grouch he lost it long before
the day was spent. The committee
In charge, consisting of E. K. Thomp
son, chairman, Wm. E. Skellenger,
Secretary; E. O. Willis, Charles
Wolhar, A. L. Carey and Fred Riley,
were given credit for the able manner
in which they handled the affair from
start to finish.
On the way to the beach the ex
cursionists received a number of gifts
of an advertising nature. The Huber
Baking Company of this city dis
tributed beautiful' fans to every per
son on the cars, and fans were also
distributed by S. Peterson, repre
senting a Chicago firm. J. S. Ivin's
& Son. the Philadelphia baker, dis
tatbuted delicious cak^i and crackers,
neatly tied up in small packages, to
each excursionist.
The only known accident that oc
cured to mar the pleasure of the trip
was that a sudden gust of wind car

It was Grocers' Day for fair at the
beach. The tide was running out in
the ocean when the party reached

their destination, but after several
dozen of the Wilmington grocerymen.
weighing on an average of about three
hundred pounds, had donned their
bathing suits, which, as they were
hired, fitted unlike the paper on the
wall, and entered the bnmy deep, the
water rose up four inches, causing
several of the life guards to think
that the tide had suddenly turned a>n< ^
was running in.
James C. O Neal, president of the.
Exchange was on hand with his pleas
ant smile, but unfortunately his fam
lly w'as not able to accompany him to
the beach. Members of the Exchange
quickly appointed a committee to keep
tabs on him.
At 1 o'clock a number of the gro
cerymen and their wives enjoyed din
ner at a hotel on Virginia avenue, near
the beach, which was attended by the
following: Mr. and Mr*. S. P. Nei
ser, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Craig, Mr.
and Mrs. James Clark, Mr. and Mrs.
William R. Dare. Mr. and Mrs. E. K.
Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Charles D.
Wilklns, Miss Helen Blackiston. Mr.
and Mrs. William E. Skellenger. Mr.
Mrs. Frank Griffith, Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Brackin Miss Mai y
Brackln, Miss Florence Brackin, Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Fraira. Miss M.
Jackson. Mr. and Mrs. John Donohue,
Walter SilHtoe, Harry Hinkson, S.
Jackson, Jr., Joseph Davis, James
Hand, Mr. and Mrs Steven Jackson
and Mr. and Mrs. L. Griffith.
M. Dare was toastmaster of the oc
rasion, and he spoke ot the beginning
of the Exchange and of the wonderful
progress it had since made. This pro
gress he declared, was due to the fact
that the grocers had always included
their families in all of their merry
making. Mr. Skellenger, who at the
banquet at the Hotel DuPont, last
winter, delivered "Casey At the Bat,"
attempted to give the same recitation,
but he found that he had forgotten
the opening lines. After the dinner
the party, with hundreds of other ex
curslonlsts, adjourned to the Steeple
chase Pier, where several hours of
enjoyment were spent.
Adam Grubb proved himself a real
hero, when he rescued a beautiful
young blond from the rolling barrel,
when she had lost her balance.
IVlien Ed. Thompson, who weighs
something less than a quarter of a ton,
attempted to slide down the "down and
out" chute, about half way down he
turned over and stuck fast, necessitating
eonsiderable elfort to extract him from
the uncomfortable predicament. Richard
Lovell, who is very light, happened to
get in front of the air machine, which
blew him about ton feet away. He
weigha only about 91)0 pounds.
Fred Riley took hi« annual dip in the
ocean. Fred has i I ended all the out

years ago.
B On the return trip to Wilmington,
Samuel Xciser, who, by the way, has a
very high forehead, was seen to carry
his hat in his hand. Mr. Kaiser had
spent several hours in the surf and
gotten to wear a bonnet or carry
parasol hence Ida Corshoad was too ten
der to bear the weight of a hat. It was

WANT CITY
WATER RATE
UNCHANGED
About seventy-five persons Inter
es.ed In the ownership of «a. estate
appeared before the Board of Water
Commissioners this morning contend
ing that' if the commissioners put into
execution the proposed new water
rales service on the meter system that
the owners of real estate would have
to pay the same price as under the
old rates and get but half the amount
of water. The real estate brokers de- -
dared that the^ department was not
running behind financially m fact
each year handed over to the city a
substantial surplus and that there
was no necessity for making the in
crease In the rate.
"Leave the rate as it is" was the
request of all of those present.
Under the old rale on the meter|
system the property owner pays $9.o0
a year, representing discount in ad
vance upon installation of the meter
the rates entitling the consumer to
300 gallons of water a day.
Under the proposed schedule a
charge of $5 is to be made for the Sn
stalling ot the meter. This amount
must be paid *f the subscriber does
n °t use a drop of water. For the pay
m *nt of $5 additional the consumer
will he entitled to 150 gallons or
water. He pays the $10 but gets only
half as much water for the money,
J- Ball Peirce, president of the
Beal Estate Brokers Association
opened the conference today by in
forming President Poole, and the
other members of the commission,
the purpose of the meeting. He said
he had received many protests
against tlie proposed new rate from
members of the brokers association,
as well as from brokers not be
longing to the association and per
sons who owned real estate,
He said it was contended that the
department was self supporting ana
turned over a substantial surplus to
the city each year and one that had
heen increasing each year,
When asked by President Poole if
he was sure that, Mr. Peirce read
from the reports of the department
for several years back, which he said,
proved his assertion.
j n conclusion Mr. Peirce asked that
the old rate be continued.
Henry Hoopes, as chairman of the
presenting the Real Ea
tate Brokers* Association, said the

He sald the < ,,lan K'* nieallt a great
Increase In the charges. The con -
I sumer would have to pay $10 for
j water worth $5. He declared that by
j the new system the commission would
receive $S0 for a meter which did not
cost more than $18 to Install. The
I way he arrived at this was by placing
1 the life of a water meter at 16 years
a t a yearly charge of $5. He said It

referred to the recent assessment of

He requested that the old rate be
retained.
William J. Fisher agreed with what
Mr. Peirce and Mr. Hoopes had said, de
flaring that th«* new rate would put ^

Mr Moore said the Chamber of
Commerce had not yet committed il
8P if upon the question. He declared
that the new rate meant an increase
of 58 per cent, and was an injustice,
He thought that In Justice to the own
P rs of property the department should
give 800 cubic feet of water as a minl
mum for the old charge of $10 less
the fifty cents discount. He told of
the need of the workingman for plenty
j of water when he had worked all day
in a foundry or factory or any other
dirty work, for preservation of his
health.
"1 am not complaining," said Mr.
Mopre, "but I ask you not to expert
ment with us in such a drastic man
ner."
He expressed the opinion that a
]campaign of education carried on
j Jointly by the brokers and commis
i sioners would result In stopping the
(waste of water, and that notices be put

(calling attention to the careful use of

] President Poole expressed the opin

| At this juncture Mr. Hoopes called
i attention to the fact that the depart
1 ment turned over to the city $77,733.08
j„ jçho and 1911.
Peter J. Ford said that the raijst un
fortunate man in Wilmington was the
one »'ho owns much real estate.
