URGES ACTION BY COUNCIL
Health Department Again Presents
Certain Recommendations for
Improvement of Health and
Sanitary Conditions
Xo action having been taken by
Council on certain recommendations
looking to the betterment of health
and sanitary conditions of the city,
submitted some weeks ago, another
rnmmunication was received by the
i.ody yesterday afternoon from Dr
( has. T. Nesbitt, city superintendent
of health, calling attention to the im
I ortance of action at this time. The
communication was read, but consider
ation of it was deferred for a few
tIavs, as there will probably be a spe
cial meeting every day this week. The
communication was as follows:
"Wilmington, N. C, May 8, 1912
Council of the City of Wilmington:
desire to submit the following
supplementary report and recom
nendations:
The season at which typhoid ap
pears in this community has now ar
rived. And I desire to report that
there are but three cases in the city
Kvery precaution has been taken to
anticipate and prevent the spread of
this disease and our plan of procedure
is now perfected with the single ex
cporion of a provision for the use o
pvrolignecus arid for destroying the
breeding and feeding places of flies as
was done last year. This work was
recommended in my report for the
month of February together with tSe
.commendations for a provision for
mosauito destruction and the pavin
of alleys and courts in the business
section- of the town. Inasmuch as
these recommendations have not been
acted .upon by the Council I beg most
respectfully to call your attention to
them. There are still about 3,bW) sur
face nrivies in the City of Wilming
ton which will continue to spread ty-
nhnirl and other intestinal diseases
.md to uollute the soil and water sup
l.K- A large number of those persons
who are violating the ordinances of
the city in this particular have been
referred to the legal department for
prosecution during the past tnr
months.
The conducting of the scavenging
wor:- since the assumption of this
function hv the city government on
tho 19th of ADril has been highly sat
itetnrv to this department and judg
ins frcm numerous expressions of ap
probation to the citizens at large. The
Elections for this service are increas
ing in amount and we hope to make
this service self-sustaining in the very
near future.
"There is insufficient equipment pro
vided for the removal of slops and
garbage. I would recommend the ad
dition of two slop carts and one car
rion cart for this service, i would also
recommend that the especially con
structed garbage carts such as are
used in other cities be supplied for
this work. Tlse carts consist of two
or more large steel cans mounted on
cart wheels which can be kept tightly
covered in transit.
'I would recommend a re-organization
and districting in the removal of
trash and waste. The health depart
ment is flooded with complaints at all
times on account of failure to re
move trash. .
i would recommend the immediate
provision of an incinerator, or reduc
tion plant, or both, for the disposal of
all the city waste slops, trash and re
fuse and dead animals. The present
method of disposal of refuse is danger
ous to the public health and is in di
rect violation of both the State and
citv laws. The disposal of trash and
slops as practiced at present is not
iehtlv but completely insani-
tp.rv. WSth the proper incenerator
all of this niaterial could be disposed
of in a sanitary, speedy and effective
manner. At present dead animals are
carried outside the city limit and bur
ied in the soil. This work must of ne
cessity be intrusted to irresponsible
9tiH inoYnrinced men. There is ev-

and life.
I most respectfully call your atten
tion again to the unsanitary conditions
in and around the city market. The
i,,t;n f two hirvks in that imme-
diate neighborhood contain the ac
cumulation of filth of years. ' The
health department has earnestly striv
en for the past ten months to have
these places cleaned-. Prosecutions
were prepared in the month of July,
VM 1, in these matters and but one case
h:is so far been tried. This case was
appealed to the Superior Court and is
t ill pending. The other offenders In
: cases as well as the prosecuted
offender have completely ignored the
directions of this department and the
laws of both the city and ocate. It is
perfectly obvious that unless Pef1"
,: s are imposed and exacted that
i hose and all other offenders under,
t use laws will continue in their vio
lation undisturbed and unafraid.
i most respectfully submit the fore

Councilman B. C Moore, in charge
i t:,j DeDartment of Public Safety,
- 'eu that he would like for arrange-
:,.i-ms tr ho mn.io for using pyroiigne
acid for destroying flies again this

; recommendations contained in the
r ort will probably be considered at
'- same time. v
The question, of Sunday selling in
Wilmington, which Council endeavor
ed to curtail a few months ago by
the adoption, of an ordinance prohibit
ing the opening of certain places of
business on the Sabbath and prescrib
ing hours for others, bobbed up again
at the regular meeting of Council yes-1
terday afternoon, when the application
of S. Karonchi, a Greek confectioner
at No. 105 south Front street, for a
restaurant license, was being consider
ed. The result of tne.re-opening of the
matter will be the adoption of a more
stringent measure with ciders to the
police to rigidly enforce the law, or
there will be a return to conditions
that existed prior to the adoption of
the ordinance in question a few
months ago. .
The license was granted to Karon
phi, the only dissenting vote being
cast by Councilman B. C. Moore, who
took the position, as he did in the
case of the application of E. Dinos for
similar privilege, that the restaurant
license was merely a subterfuge in
order to secure the right to stay open
on Sunday and sell cold drinks. Coun
cilman Perdew said that he did not
believe in the Sunday selling, but that
be "thought Karonchi as much entitled
to the restaurant privilege as any eth
er' T?erson of good .character. Mayor
Smith remarked that he would contin
ue to vote for restaurant license for
confectionery . stores . as long as the
drug stores are allowed to sell soft
drinks and other things besides drugs
on Sunday. v
The applicant was represented by
Marsden Bellamy, Esq., who made the
point that the question of Sunday sel
ling did not enter into the application
for restaurant license, but incidentally
he remarked that it is discrimination
to permit drug stores to sell . soft
drinks on Sunday and not -grant the
same privilege to soft drink places.
Assistant City . Attorney Peschau said
that in his opinr-cn the ordinance now
governing the, sale of goods on- Sun
day does not permit druggists to sell
anything except drugs. Mr. Bellamy
also said that he did not think that
under the ordinance drug stores are
permitted to sell soft drinks on Sun
day, and he remarked that the ordi
nance is either not being enforced or
it isvoid. However, he was not ask
ing for the previlege for his clinent
of selling on Sunday, but merely to
conduct a restaurant.
Council will very probably have to
give further consideration to the Sun
day selling question within the next
week or ten days.
A committee from the local branch
of the National Red Cross Society was
present to urge Council to join the
County Commissioners in the mainten
ance of a tuberculosis sanitarium it
is proposed to establish and for the
building and equipment of which the
necessary funds have already, been se
cured by. the society, .Dr. Joseph Ak
erman was spokesman' for the delega
tion. The cost of maintenance will be
about $300 a month and the city and
county is each asked to contribute $1.
500. The County Commissioners will
notifv the society this afternoon
whether or not the county will bear
a portion "of the expense of the main
tenance of the institution. It was said
that the Commissioners may be gov
erned largely by the opinion of the
county attorney as to whether the
county has the legal right to share
in the maintenance of an institution of
the kind proposed. It was the sense
the Council that the city is willing to
Dav its proportion of the expense if
the county will join in the undertak
ing and provided that the institution
is to be conducted under rules ana i
regulations laid down by the city anaj
county governments.
Joseph W. Little, Esq., presented a
petition from the ladies living on Third
street, between Dock and Orange, with
reference to the improvement with
bitulithic of that thoroughfare, the
principal complaint being that the
street has been made narrower by
widening the plaza three feet on each
side. The street was formerly 21 feet
wide oneach side of the plaza, but in
making the Improvement of the thor
oughfare the street department cut the
street to 18feet, this being done in
orderto save expense in paving, it be
ing estimated that the city would save
$3 000 or ?4.000. The petitioners con
tend that the width of the street is
hardly sufficient to allow two vehicles
to nass each other. CJrtuman tr . v.
Moore, ift charge or tne ueparimcm
str.a. una Wharves, was unable to
account of a slight in
disposition, and Mayor Smith averted
to the fact that, tne quesuon ul iuc
change in the width of the street had
been considered by Mr. Moore and
himself and that he desired to assume
sibilitv as Mr. Moore

take place some time within the next
week. It was decided to meet every
afternoon this week at 5 o'clock for
the purpose of' arranging the budget
and tax ordinance. An anonymous
communication calling attention to the
bad condition of Seventh sfreet, be
tween Hanover and Campbell, was re
ferred to Councilman P. Q. Moore.
An ordinance was passed with ref
erence to. the purchase of supplies and
approval of bills, being practically the
same as a resolution adopted at the
beginning of the administration' and
under which Council has been operat
ing, the purpose of the ordinance be
ing to get it in the codified ordinances
to be published in a short time,
Councilman B. C. Moore inquired
about the road it Is proposed to build
to Wvnnewood Lumber Co. s plant
City Attorney Herbert McCTammy said
that he had been informed Dy ueo. a.
Elliott: Esq.. of the Coast Line, whlon
wljT construct the road, that materials
have been rdered and work will be
commenced in a week or two. The re
port of the city chemist, Mr. Geo. ,F.
Cntlett. showed that the city water
supply is excellent.
There was a sharp tilt between Dr,
Chas. T. Nesbitt. city superintendent
of health, and Assistant City Attorney
Geo. L. Peschau, that appeared at ,one
time would assume serious propor
tinns. The controversy was with ref
erence to indictments of persons said
tn be violating the sanitary ordinan
ftps. The colloauy probably resulted
in a better understanding between fBe
twA with reference to the mode of
nrocedure in the cases in question
Citv Attorney Herbert McClammy
asked Council to wait a few days long
er before taking any further action
with reference to the sewerage ques
tion, remarking that he thought that a
basis of settlement would be arrivea
at by Saturday of this week so far as
tht- leeal department of the city is con
cerned. He said that he and Mr. Pes-
ohau would be engaged today in draft-
inir thft nitv'a "last ultimatum" to the
bondholders of the sewerage company.
The city has made so many final prop
ositions that the sewerage company
doubtless expects a comniuuitauuu
every week from the municipality.
Report was made by Councilman B
C. Moore that the fire boat Atlantic
is not fit for further service and will
have to be replaced by another ooat
He was not prepared to make any
recommendation yesterday, but will
probably be in position to do so at
the session this afternoon.

three hours. Council adjourned at 6:45

afternoon for a conference on the bud

Ready at Any Time, Anywher
Manufactured Here.
Mr. F. P. White, the well known
Brunswick county inventor, was here
yesterday and last night at the Junc
tion Restaurant made an exhibition of
an ever-ready coffee pot which. he re
cently invented and has had patented.
The pot is an inexpensive affair, de
signed to retail for ten cents. It is de
signed to be filled with water and the
necessary coffee, sealed up and taken
to work, on a trip, camping, hnntiftg
or fishing. When the cup of coffee is
desired, all that is necessary is to turn
down the legs of the pot and under it
may be found its own heating attach
ment, which brings forth the liquid
steaming hot in a few minutes, the
chimney of the stove extending
through the vessel, making the heat
ing almost instantaneous.
Mr. White is negotiating with the
Key Opening Can Co., of Chicago, for
a sale of the patent, or he may later
decide to manufacture the invention
here as he says he has had the offer
of -all the necessary capital to put his
invention on the market.
STILL ANOTHER SUIT
Mr.
T. W. Wood Sues Hanover Realty
Company In Heritos Tangle
, The complicated legal snarl result
ing from the sale of a building on the
old Seaboard Air Line property on
Front street by Mr. T. W. Wood to
Mr. J. S. Williams, was still turtner
complicated yesterday when Mr.
Wood started suit in Superior Court
against Messrs. L. J. Carter, E. C.
Dollar and D. B .Leonard, trading as
the Hanover Realty Company.
The tangle grew out of the fact that
John Heritos, a Greeik, who has a res
taurant in the basement of the place.
.refuses to get out, as he. alleges he
has a lease from Mr. Carter, good for
some time yet. Mr. Williams . has
torn the old building down to the v en
casement, but here he has halted. He
entered suit against Mr. Wood some
days ago. The affair is one or tne
most complicated in the history or
Wilmington, and its outcome is being
watched with interest by the public.
SUNDAY MOTHER'S DAY.
No Special Services Will be Held in
This City.
Whi1 no snecial services will be
held In celebration of the event, next
Sunday, the second Sunday in May,
will be observed in the different
churches as Mother's Day. Practical
ly all of the pastors of the city will
probably make some reference to the
occasion and the tender care, solici
tude and virtues of the mothers of the
land will be remembered reverential
ly. '
Though the custom of observing
Mother's -Day is only a few years old
it has already attained a National
scope and the whole country will ob
serve the day Sunday.
-It is a custom in connection with
the observance of Mother's Day for
everyone to wear a white flower, pref
erably a white carnation,' emblematic
of the purity, beauty, love, charity and
faithfulness of the life of a good
mother.
School of Instruction.
A school of instruction for officers
of the three infantry regiments of the
North Carolina National Guard will
begin at Raleigh next Monday, to last
for five days. There are about 150
'officers in the three regiments and a
large number of them, are expected to
be in attendance. Six army officers
will be present to instruct the officers
of the National Guard. A special fea
ture of the occasion will be the study
of and instruction in reading military
maps. Col. John VanB. Metts, of this
