I U 1 T Lll LU U L VVflU HELD LAST WIGHT a. Various Legislation Discussed. Sdcond Meeting to Be Held This Afternoon. Members of City Council were An c0nicrence-Tast 'night at which time legislation that Council hopes to have enacted during the first week of the legislature was discussed. Represen tatives of the press were invited to sit in conference with Council but' were asked to treat everything discussed as confidential unless permission was groan ted for its publication and rather Umn obligate themselves to this extent die newspaper, men withdrew. t It is 110( known just what transpired dur ing i lit- conference but it was stated that the two principal matters dis ( ULsed were legislation looking toward fh.p passage of a bill enabling -the city i, sign a ten year's lighting contract with the Tidewater Power Company ;uid the question of passing legislation tliat will enable the city toclear up the back tax question. Council is to moot again this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at which time the matter will ho gone into thoroughly. City At torney liuark stated this morning that he expected to draft a bill today which would be given to the press for publi cation in the morniug and he hoped to be able to get it in such shape that ii could be discussed at tonight's mass mooting at the Court House. Mr. A. D. Skelding, general man ager of the Tidewater Power Company appeared before the councilmen and asked that .everything be done toward having legislation passed that will enable the city to substitute a ten year's lighting contract for the pre edit one and it was stated that an ef fort would be made to have this done. When the contract with the power company was drawn up Council agreed to do this were it possible and there is nothing to indicate that they mean to break faith with the company. City Attorney Ruark stated--that an effort would probably be made to have legislation enacted that would empow er the city to handle the back tax question, it was pointed .... out that! these taxes due the city were carried! in "an old deed book and dated back fox a good many years. At present j thty are carried as an asset and thel idea is to either collect them or dis- j gree assist in providing for the com pose Of them. Much Of this money fort an(1 nonvenienre nf tho inhahit- due the city is for poll tax and taxes on personal property and the city is very desirous of" collecting them or rather it wants to" be empowered to handle the situation . The resolution to place the heads -of the police and fire department under civil service regulations follow and 'is understood to be an effort to free these positions from political influences al though to some it may appear that it is an effort to retain such men inde finitely without regards to the people. The resolution follows. ' Whereas, experience teaches that in order to obtain the best results in municipal government officers of such. niuHK ipality whose duties are entirely administrative should be free from po liiiia! influence, either direct or direct and should be appointed to and Ma hied in office solely by reason of fitness and capacity to perform the du tis of the office to which they may be appointed, thus insuring the impar tial and diligent performance of the duties of their respective offices; ' i "Therefore, be it Resolved By the "uncil of the city, of Wilmington that the City Attorney be requested to pre-! pare an act to be submitted to the ! C'CiiPial Assembly of North Carolina ; at its session of Jft7 so amending the - ty to pay three-fifths thereof; and, !TfL-ei!t charter of the city as to place "Whereas, by an act of the Gen he Chief of police and the Chief of j eral Assembly of 1915. the propor hr Fire Department of the city under tions of said cost payable respective-, civil service in like manner as theily by the city and the county were uidubcrs of the Police and Fire De Pertinent now arc, to the end that the I' ''urn of office of the Chief of Police of the Cbief of the Fire Depart 'iirut of this city be made to depend olely upon the fitness, capacity and "npartial performance by said officers "' I lie duties of their respective of-!

"n without receiving corresponding 'f nofit -and that the ' upkeep of '"HlRes across these streams rightful ly bplonced tn tht rrnntv " The res olution expressing the views of Coun-f c'l on this matter follows: "Whereas, at the session of the tleneral Assembly in 1915 the boun daries of the city of Wilmington were ( hanged by amendment to the char 'er of said city, making the northern and eastern short of Smith's, Creek 'he boundary on the northern and "astern portions of said city, thus in cluding within the; boundaries of said c ity numerous bridges; and.

L Tonight's mass meeting, which is tp beheld at the Court House at 8 o'clock, and Which has as its object the discussion of legislation, the pec Pie desired enacted into ; law before the constitutional amendments be come effective, is being eagerly looked forward to by the renrem,. Uive men of the city and in all prob ability will be largely attended. Rep resentativeelect : t. Clayton Grant is responsible for the calling of the meeting, as he is- very anxious that those People who elected him signify what Is wanted. He recently went on record as being opposed to legislation on which the people had not been con sulted and declared publicly that persons wanting legislation enacted into law and who failed to talk the matter over- with th people would get small consideration at his hands. Mr. Grant recently stated and his utterances were carried in The Dis patch, that many persons had come to. him privately and suggested the remedying of certain conditions and it was to give those persons an oppor tunity of expressing: their views in publio that he called the meeting for tonight. Mr. Grant has made it plain that little legislation is, going to be "rail roaded" through and yet he is very anxious to do just what is wanted of him by a majority of the voting pop ulation the men who went - to the polls and cast 'their ballot for him in the primary. His idea is to have all meet and discuss any matters that may come up. In this manner he will be in position to know what the majority want and what the minority is al leged to be after. Tonight's meet ing should prove very interesting and will probably be well attended. ; : t its tax rate, thus diminishing the ability of. the city and augmenting the repair the bridges across- Smith's Creek and streams tributary thereto; and, "Whereas, - the county of New Han over secures SO per cent of its rev enue from taxes? unon persons and property within tne city of Wilming.. OTIi -vij ants of said city; "Therefore, Resolved, That the City Attorney be requested to prepare an act to be submitted to the next ses sion I of the General Assembly - by which the northern1 -and eastern boxm daries j6t the City of Wilmington shall, be fixed and established so that the waters and bed of Smith's Creek and other streams tributary thereto shall not be included within the boun daries of said city. "Resolved, further, That' the repre sentative in the General Assembly from New Hanover county and the Senator from this district be request ed to present said act to the General Assembly and, to cooperate in its pas sage." The resolution asking that the ex pense of the Health Department be borne on a 50-50 basis by the county and city follows: "Whereas, prior to the session cf the General Assembly of 1915 it was provided by law that the city of Wil mington - and the county of New Han over should make certain appropria tions toward the cost of maintaining James Walker 'Memorial Hospital, the city to pay. two-fifths of the total amount so appropriated and the coun- changed so mat me cuy is requueu to pay one-half of the total of such appropriation and the county one-half thereof;; and; "Whereas, under the proportions as now fixed by law the city is required to contribute out of its revenue an undue proportion of said cost in the light or the tact tnat aooui per cent, of the revenue of the county is derived from taxation upon property within or belonging to persons with in the city, and, "Wliorpas it is now nrovided by "w ' law that the cost of . maintaining the Health Department ot tne cuy ana I county shall be borne three-fourths by the city and. one-fourth by the county, and tn adition. thereto the city is put to the -necessity of main taining a . iprce ot. ,niu ciigciecu sanitary , work; , and,. . . v "Whereas, in the. opinion of this Council the city is required to, con tribute to : the support and. mainten ance of the" health .Department; an. unfair and unreasonable . propbrljion as compared with the amount re quired to be contributed , by, the county; , . .

WHISKEY DESTROYED. Was Poured Into the Gutter In Front of Court House. Thirty gallons of whiskey was poured-, into the gutter in front of the Court House yesterday by County Of ficer H. Mack Godwin, and - Deputy Sheriff A. L. Kelly and persons who hat! gone whiskeyless through the holidays could do nothing other than smack their lips and imagine a land flowing with plenty and yet unable to satisfy their thirst. "The whiskey was seized several weeks ago by mem- bers of the police department and has since been stored in the city's ware house." The order for its destruction Was secured from Recorder George Harriss. Thirty minutes after the "booze" hadi been emptied in the gutter a negro man was seen bending over and atttempting to quench his thirst arid even though obliged to take dirt, sand and filth made an effort to save a part of what had been thrown away.

R. Albright, of the Atlantic Coast Line, to complete business left unfinished several weeks ago. It has been stated, however, that the presence of the high official of i the railway conductors and the con ference this morning has nothing to doN with the eight-hour law bill, which is hanging fire at present.

The scientific and brainy attacks of Switzerland met with an Antheian resistance of a puny nature when Fritz Hanson and Sarros locked horns at Woolvin hall last night and the, brute strength of sunny Italy proved unavailing before the science and brains of America-Irish America, for Con Albright handled big Toney Mas seno in a masterly manner. Gunner McGurley, of Fort Caswell, ran the double match tn the satisfaction of all even thoueh Hanson was oblisred . , f I to throw Sarros four, times to get I . - couple of rails. Hanson won successive tails as did are are as follows: Sopranos Miss Albright, although the South Car- Kate Foard, Miss Lillia Fisher Wil olinian lost the first fall to the big Hams, -.Mrs. George S. Boyland, and Italian. Massino won the . initial fall j William G. Robertson; contraltos of the evenine from-Albfieht in I?6 -tiac. t.,hq wag decided witn a chancery over the;and Mr. Clarence Stanland Sarros match because the latter was outclassed in every respect and made me mistake of trying to rough it up with the local fav0rite. Hanson was Jthe Greek's master in every respect i , t- o..r. ' j" - to 7 decCion on thT part of McGurley at the expiration of 16 min - utes. The Swede again forced thd, Greek's shoulders to the mat and after j' they had arisen the latter was still ) I had not , thrown. Aeain , Hanson i uioooiiaiicu, anyi uuuu threw nlmand the presence of Mr. ; McGurIey waB not neCes'sary to de - .: r tu r cide this fall for the Greek's raps on the mate told all that he had enough, Throwing a man four times in succes- sion is a little different from the usual exhibition but Hanson appeared to en- joy the novelty of it as much as the, , crowd. The Massino-Albright match vras really worth while. Physically the iltalian was Albright's superior but iwhat the latter lacked in strength he mr.ro tUxr, marlo iv in RpiBTinP ahd skill and although the. Italian broke : n..m.mns holr1 that wmilrl liav . thrown a less powerful man he did not nrossess sufficient science and skill to stand up under the attacks of i lungui. iv.on. wxluuu. """"" the prettiest put up man who ever aP - peared before a local audience; one has often heard of the fellow whose . muscles stood out like whipcords and those who have read Longfellow and have pictured in their mind's eye the . village blacksmith referred to can get ' some idea of Massino's appearance. He stated that he weighed 172 pounds (but even his warmest supporters doubted the veracity of this statement, He probably had 30 pounds on Al- bricht but he lacked the science and the result was-that he was forced to stay on the defense the greated part of the time. Albright broke from exhibited skill and scfence that was .icumug. . ,iu .xunu ' 7u V T' money's worth for they saw the local favorite triumph easily over his op- ponent and witnessed what many be- imagined Albright stood the ghost of a chance against the husky son of Italy.

Nathaniel Brown, colored, had hla' collar bone broken in two placet and -was otherwise injured, when aa auto-' bile, owned and driven by Mr. xidolph ; Ahrens, in which he was riding, turn , ed turtle on the Carqliiia Beach road, about a half mile from Sunset Park a few minutes after 6 o'clock yesterday -; evening. Mr. and Mrs. Ahrens and ' daughter and three colored men were passengers in the machine. Brown 1 suffered far more than any of the j others as he was hiding on the running j board of the machine and was caught under it when it turned over. He was hurried to the James Walker Memorial hospital where medical attention was given him. The accident, according to state ments 6f one of the party, was due to the sjippery condition Of the roadj and -the fact that a lumber wagon failed to observe the rules of the road. The wagon was coupled out and was loaded with a tree and this made .it very hard for the driver of the machine ' to, handle tie situation and hold his machine in the road. Neither of the' ladies in the party suffered serious hurts but all were considerably shaken up and bruised. OPERATE EARLY DATE.
