Property Owner in Pender Glad Hun gry Nck Site Was.. Selected Possible Outcome Tangle v. -. . Dismissed --:"- ' Mr . W . J . j Moore,, formerly owner and proprietor of what was then The Tarrymoore Hot'el, Wrightsville Beach, now- engaged In the hotel bus iness at Morehead . City and Swans fccro, is .spending a" few days" in he city.' Mr. Mobre witnessed the flights of the flying machine here Tuesday af ternoon. He said that toth of his ho tels are open all the Winter and .both ere doing a fairly good business. Mr. Moore is highly pleased that the Commissioners of New ' Hanover .end Pender counties have selected Hungry Nck site for . the location of the bridge to be erected . over the Northeast river to connect New Han over and Pender counties. Mr. Moore owns property) in Pender county and while the road to the bridge will not touch his land yet he feels that the construction of ; the. bridge will en hance the value of ' his land as it v ill all other land , in thatHmmediate section as well as affording the peo-i pie better means of -crossing the riv-' cr. He said that he was satisfied that jt majority of ;the people of Pender county who expect to ever 'use the bridge are in I favor of the Hungry Neck site and he was quite satisfied also that the Pender commissioners v,ill never vote for the bridge to be located at the Blossom's Ferry site. Wlord has not teen received here yet as to what action .the Pender commissioners took Tuesday with re gard to the resolution .adopted at the joint meeting!, designating Huhgrv Neck site as the location and award ing the contract for the bridge to th Virginia Iron & Bridge Company, but it is likely that the resolution was adopted just as it came from the joint meeting; as the Pender board is unanimous for the Hungry Neck. site. The action taken by the New Hanover commissioners Tuesday was announc ed in yesterday's .. paper. : The resolu tion was not endorsed by the New Hanover board nor was it rejected, tLere being two1 votes on either side. The a'bsence of .Commissioner Devine is responsible for1 this situation. He voted at the joint meeting in favor of awarding the contract, to the Virginia 1-on & Bridge! Oupany' and for the Hungry Neck site. He will doubtless vote the same! way when the matter ctmes up again at a meeting at which he 13 present. I Temporarily the mat ter is held up in this county, but may be for only a day or two. The com missioners meet this afternoon as an auditing committee and as all mem-, bers will be present -if there are , no absentees of the committee it is not improbable that the bridge matter may bo broached at - that time. It is gen erally hoped that it will be consider ed this afternoon and ' definite action U ken, as the people of both counties are anxious to see the squabble set teld and won!? 6n the bridge begun'. A number , of j people yesterday made guesses as to jwhen the. construction vork is likely to begin. .Some were rather pessimistic in their views and went so far as to say it would be years before the" bridee Us erected between the two counties. There were others) however, who expect to see work be ¬ gun in a few months and they assert that the ibrts :.of .n injunction - to stop the work-by an unsuccessful bid- tier for the contract will not have any. effect on the matter.' Several lawyers remarked that ,there is' a wide differ ence between' asking for an injunction and 1 securing one.in.. a matter of this .kind. The award of a Contract of this, l.ind is purely a . matter of discretion, they said, and nothing short of fraud or collusion would validate , the act of the commissioners. In other words, the' commissioners would be recogniz ed by the courts, as - having absolute power in the matter.. . Several persons discussed also' the matter here, point-' ing out that if an unsuccessful bidder for any of the work should be allowed to tic up the work in the courts their .it would be' possible to forever block jn Improvement of the streets. . They dc not believe, however; that the work . could be tied up that way by an un successful bidder and thiey do not be lieve that an 'actjon of the kind would lie in the-Ndrtheast bridge matter. v However, it I is understood upon pretty good authority that should the commissioners imake an effort to com- n-ence work on the bridge at Hungry Neck" site "under" the present award lb at an injunction would be-sought The people of both counties Will awai with decided interest final settlement o? the matter, j .-' ' ti is .runderstobd that basis ,-of .the contest before, the.

Cbmpany and that the'other - bidders should have been t;iven the opportunity -to'-' have sub mitted a bid on the same basis. Th3 fact is. it la claimed that in compil ing the various bids, $3,000 was added tc the bid of the Virginia company lor a certain piece of work that had rot been figured on by. the bidder"and the point-is made. that the" bidder might have said $5,000 fnstead of $3, 00 and In that case some of the. other bidders might have been the lowest j THE RECORDER'S COURT v f6 rtund the ..court room seemed-torkXow; The "man in .the case was not -arreatrt ; . sh h,.-.- No : HU Church Street ' Wimfr ; dreehberg, a young! .white boy, fcharg ed ;with : larceny,- was pi roiea in the custody of Mr. E. -1..

Among a large number of Jogs in the raft was one containing 2,380 feet of timber. The cut was twenty-eight feet - in length and fifty inches in diameter. Hereby hangs a tale. This and oth er shipments of timber are for ex port to Hamburg, Germany, and large quantities are -being shipped there for Theodore Fran eke Erben, Inc., of Ber lin. f Mr. H. E. Glaeser, of Berlin, Is here representing the consignees and' is buying in the eastern North Carolina' timber regions such woods a? black walnut, yellow poplar,', red cedar,, gum, rosemary - pine, yellow pine and other, timbers There is now ic?. Wilmington a half -million feet of poplar which will go by rail to Nor folk and thence to Hamburg by, the American-Hamburg line. Mr. -Glaeser has been in the United Hates for some time purchasing tim ber for his house and has been visiting various States in quest of the lum ber. He stated that the poplar los referred to above is the largest he hao; ever, seen in this country. The hard- woods shipped from- here are manu factured -into veneers and are largely used in the manufacture of pianos, automobiles, buggies, carriages, wa gOns and army ' equipments. Mr J Glaeser is a scholarly and polished young gentleman and long before ha came to this country he had heard much pf Wilmington. He is well post ed. about, the once-great naval stores business of this port, for his fathei,' in the 'seventies, imported large quan-" titles afvro8in for his soap factory i;i BerlinrThe elder Mr..
