FEDERAL
ItlSPEGTI
MR. BOIIITZ
FOR HEW
The port of North Carolina and the
service that it can render the' State
was the theme of an instructive address
i.y Col. Walker Taylor, collector of cus
toms for the port of Wilmington, at
i he dinner of the Rotary Club at the
Hotel Wilmington yesterday. He'show
jii how the State had recognized its
importance as far back as 1822 and
impropriated money at that time for its
jevelopjnent. He emphasized the fact
that it belongs to thejentire State and
has a vital relationship to every city
uul town in the commonwealth. . ' " '
The members of the- club enjoyed
immensely the four course ' luncheon
.vhieh Mr. Ham Adams, the popular
nauager ef The Wilmington,, had pro-r
i-ided. At the request of President
John R. Murchison, Mr. S. M. Boat
wright presided - and he was - able
quickly to make everybody feel at
home. He is a booster always and he
helped much yesterday in arousing this
.spirit in all those present at the din
ner. Mr. Meares Harriss, secretary of
the club, kept a record of the pro
ceedings. By way of introduction to each oth
er, all present were required to make
i speech in which they were required
to tell their name, their business and
their nick-name. Most of the guests
have nick-names but not all were wil
ling to admit it. Three of the mem
bers were four minutes late in arriv
ing and Mr. Boatwright impressed up
on them the fact that Rotary stands
for being prompt 'by making them ex
plain why they were late.
One attributed his lateness to the
fact that his Ingersoll watch was five
minutes slow, another declared that his
wife was responsible, while the third
aid that he had no excuse to make. .
Col, Taylor in his address referred
to the recent publicity campaign, in
augurated by the Wilmington Cham
ber of Commerce, in which the -fact
that. Wilmington Is the port of North
Carolina was emphasized. He said
that he believed that, as collector of
customs for this port he was the only
man in the State holding a Federal of
fice that represented the entire com
monwealth. The other North Carolina
ports Elizabeth City, Beaufort, New
hern and Manteo by order of the gov
ernment some two years ago were
made sub-ports. Each Congressman
represents a district, there are two
Senators, two Federal judges, two dis-
of customs in the State.
There are now in the United States
only 45 ports, listed as such by the
government, and Wilmington is one of
these. She stands 14th in the Value of
her exports and imports and Col. Tay
lor thought that this is a splendid
showing.
He showed the marvelous growth in
the value of imports in recent years.
From 1904 to 1909, the value of her
exports increased 7 3-4 per cent, and
the value of her imports increased 764
iter cent. Her imports in 1904 were
$264,000. while in 1914" they were over
four million dollars, an increase of
over 1,500 per cent in ten years.
He referred to the important part
that the Cape Fear played in the his
tory of the Confederacy, Wilmington
being one of the last ports to be closed
during the memorable conflict. He
read an extract from Mr. James
Sprunt"s "Chronicles of the Cape Fear,"
showing how the State had begun to
improve the lower Cape Fear in 1822
between this city and Big Island. This
project was to secure a channel seven
feet in depth. The Federal government
took up the project in 1829 and contin
ned work on the river for ten years.
Work was again resumed in 1847 and
was continued until the War Between
the States.
In 1870 work was again resumetr-tSy

Board of Health Instructs That Meats
Shipped Here After ''May lsf
Must Be Wrapped In Paper
' and Burlap
. -
Wilmington is soon to have govern
ment inspection at the abattoir here, ac
cording to a verbal report on the mat
ter, made by Dr. Chas. T. Nesbitt,
county health officer, at the monthly
meeting of the, Board of Health, held
In the offices of the department at
the court house last evening. Chairman
W. A. McGirt presided, this being his
first meeting, and present were Dr. C.
P. Bolles, Dr. J. B. Cranmer, Prof.
Washington Catlett, Dr. Nesbitt and
,-P1"- John Thames, assistant county
health officer.
Dr. Nesbitt's regular -monthly report
was with reference to the work now
carried on by the department to secure
protection for Wilmington's food sup
ply, and following the discussion that
ensued, the clerk was authorized by
the Board to write the transportation
companies to notify their agents at all
shipping points in this section not to
accept for transportation to Wilming
ton after May 1st", the carcasses of
any slaughtered cattle, hogs- or sheep
unless the same are securely wraDDed
in heavy butchers paper and burlap.
ciom. xnis is in accordance with the
decision of the Board some months
ago.
It was stated by .Dr. Nesbitt that J.
J. Hopkins Son & Co. owners of the
abattoir on Smith's Creek, just outside
the city limijts, have asked for gov
ernment inspection-arid that in accord
ance with the requirements of the gov
ernment, detailed plans of the abattoir
were forwarded to Washington. These
plans have been approved as they
stand, with the exception of two very
minor details, which the company will
change to conform with the govern
ment's requirements, arTd a government
inspector will then be detailed for the
work here. -
The members of the Board expressed
their gratification that Wilmington is
to have government inspection at the
abattoir, which they believe ' will be
a tremendous incentive toward the de
velopment of the stock raising industry
throughout this section. The opinion
was expressed that a big packing house
and cold storage business will be de
veloped in Wilmington within the
next five years as the result of a mo
dern abattior and quarantine pen.
Dr. Nesbitt's report was as follows:
"Board of Health,
New Hanover County.
"Gentlemen: Aside from the routine
work of the Department especial at
tention has been given to carrying for
ward the preparation for more com
plete control of markets, hotels, res
taurants, and other places which
handle food. Our experiments which
are being conducted in the Laboratory
are furnishing conclusive proof that
a number of places now occupied by
those who handle fresh meats are not
only unsuitable for such use but are
positively dangerous to the public
health. On account of their location
and the surrounding conditions these
places are subjected to the influence
of dust which is heavily loaded with
putrefacted bacteria. Cultures made
from the meat stalls in the City
market show that this location is un
fit to use as a meat market because
of the condition of the building and
its surroundings. The culture plates
exposed at these stalls show from
twenty to thirty times as much con
tamination as is shown in plates ex
posed in privately kept meat markets
which are conducted more nearly in
conformity with the law. The market
owned by C. D. Gilbert - on Market
street which s located next to the
stables of Schloss, Bear & Davis shows
from one hundred to 150 times as much
contamination as ' is shown In other
markets better located and better
kept. As the season advances
this contamination increases be-

Creating the office of comptroller and
chairman of the board of directors, the
directors of the Peoples' Savings Bank,
following the 16th annual meeting of
the stockholders yesterday afternoon,
elected Mr. H. C. McQueen to this office
and Mr. F. w. Dick, the vice president,
was elected president in Mr. McQueen's
stead. The change relieves Mr. Mc- !
Queen of the detailed routine devolving
upon the executive head of the insti
tution, while enabling him to remain
actively and intimately identified with
the management of the bank's affairs,
and Mr. Dick's elevation to the presi
dency comes as a fitting reward for his
fine work in the service of the'People's
dating back to the time of its organi
zation. The stockholders meeting was held
in the directors' room in the handsome
home of the bank, corner Front and
Princess streets, yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock. Mr. A M. Boatwright was
called to the chalf and presided, while
Mr. J. Holmes Davis acted as secretary.

Reilly and Mr. D. R. Foster canvassed
the stock and reported 1,948 shares
represented, either in person or by
proxy.

verbal report, calling special attention
to the splendid condition of the bank
and the high grade of the investments
which it holds.
Vice President Dick, in his written
report, stated that the bank entered
upon, its 16th year in a highly satisfac
tory ..condition. notwithstanding the
disturbing effects upon business opca-
siunea Dy xne European war. xne management-
felt, he reported, that the
year just ended had been one of the
most successful in' the bank's history,
once more demonstrating the stable
character of the business, and confi
dence of the institution enjoys, it
was pointed out that as in previous
years, the bank has endeavored to ex
tend its influence and usefulness, there
by giving promise of a continued suc
cess and prosperity. The management
felt, the report went on, that the bank
has been a decided benefit to the city,
its funds having been loaned, as far as
possible, locally, to aid in the upbuild
ing of Wilmington and this section.
The report expressed the belief that
the bank is enjoying its share of new
business, having opened up an unusu
ally large number of new accounts the
past year. It showed that during the
year loans were made amounting to
$4,223,851.79, without the loss of a
dollar.
The report further showed that the
bank has paid in interest to depositors
during the past year $39,043.88, and
also paid a 12 per cent dividend on its
capital,, as well as having added a
large and satisfactory amount to the
surplus account. j .

sion to thank the directors and em
ployes of tne bank for their loyalty.

CABARET LARGELY ATTENDED
Singing of Madame Van de Zande Was
A Feature An Evening of High
ly Entertaining Attractions
More than three hundred people at-,
tended last evening the .annual cabaret
given by the Cape Fear Chapter, U.
D. C, at the Germania Club, Front and
Orange streets. A feature of the oc
casion was the singing of Madame Van
de Zande, the Belgian dramatic soprano
She possesses a voice of wonderful
sweetness and range. - The other fea
tures were 'all of a high class and
made the evening a most enjoyable one.
The affair was entirely informal, as
cabarets are supposed to be, and there
was such a variety of entertainment
that all could find pleasure. A two
course supper was served. Music was
furnished by Grainger's orchestra for
the dancing which continued through
out the' evening. Sandwiched in be
tween the dances were various attrac
tions on the improvised stage.
Besides the singirig by Madame Van
de Zande, other features of the pro
gramme for the evening included the
singing of a solo -by Mrs. Warring;
solo by Mr. W. P. Murphy;, a character
sketch by Ttfiss Holmes: a playlet en
titled "A Pair of Lunatics" by Mrs.
R." W. Barker and Mr. Thompson, and
selections by the Mandolin club. There
was also a fancy dance by Miss Louise
Wise and Mr. George Clark.
The suPPer was served by members'
of the CapeFear chapter assisted by a
bevy of pretty . ladies. The rooms of
the club were attractively decorated
for the occasion. For those who did
not care tor dancing tnere were cards
and rook in one of the rooms.
Madame Van de Zande wore a dress
last evening which was presented to
her by several ladies of Warsaw.- It
was made by the following ladies of
that place: Miss Sallie -Hall, Mrs. A. B.
Anderson, Mrs. Bert Flowers, and Mrs.
Elizabeth Moore. The gown was
brought to Wilmington yesterday af
ternoon and was formally presented to
her by Mrs. Faison Peiree.
The songs that Madame Van de
Zande sang last night were: "La Van
jdere," by Gfldard; "Hashan" by Wed
ham; Tolsti's Goodbye, song, and
"Samson and Delilah," by Sanens. f
Mr. H. E. Bonitz has been selected as
the architect for the new High School
building, the decision having been
reached at an extended conference of
the Board of Education and the Joint
High School Committee, held yester
day afternoon. It is hoped to have the
plans in shape to begin work on the
new building at an early date.
The chief difficulty confronting the
board with reference to building the
new High School structure is to realize
the full value 'for the Union School
property at this time. The proceeds
from the sale of the Union school prop
erty will be used in the construction
of the new High School.
Chairman J. O. Carr, asked about
the financial "sidfe of the problem, said:
"During the four' years preceding the
bond issue, $55,000 were spent in per
manent improvements,; all of which,
except about $20,000, was paid out of
savings from current school funds.
Wnen the bonds were sold we paid off"
this debt, with the "intention of rebor
rowing it for use in the High School
building. This sum, together with the
value of the abandoned school proper
ty, ought to total" about $40,000. We
are now trying to make the necessary
arrangements to have the High School
building begun at an early date." -
At the conference yesterday the
question of the selection of an archi
tect for the High School .structure was
discussed at some lengtn, and it was
decided that inasmuch as architect's
fees are -uniform, competitive. bids
should not be called for, ibut that' a
Wilmington man should be selected
and the work distributed as equitably
as possible. As Mr. J. F. Leitner had
planned the High School annex, the
Isaac j Bear and William Hooper
schools, at a cost of about $65,000, while
Mr. B. H. Stephens planned the Corne
lius Harnett and Hemenway schools
at about the same cost, and as Mr.
Bonitz had only built the new Willis
ton at a cost of about $20,000, Mr. Bon
itz was agreed upon as architect for
the High School. The younger archi
tects were discussed in connection
with the work, but the board and com
mittee thought it wiser to give the
larger jobs to men of larger exper
ience, and that this was the only fair
basis for a decision.
Members of the board and the city
superintendent of schools have worked
out the design for the High School
building in all its details, and it will
require only a short while to perfect
the plans and get them ready for the
contractors. The building will contain
19 .recitation rooms, with office, libra
ry and auditorium.
TO STARTWORK SOOX.
Delay in Getting Trucks for Building
Carolina Beach Road.
It is expected that work Cn the
building of a hard road to Carolina
Beach boulevard will begin soon. There
has been a delay in getting the auto
mobile trucks which will be used to
transport the gravel from Sunset Park
to the points on the road where it is
needed, but they have been reported to
the contractor, Mr. C. R. Humphreys,
as being on the way and-should arrive
soon. Lillington gravel will be used
and it will begin to arrive yiis week.
The I contract with Mr. Humphreys
specifies that the work shall be com
plete within six months after it has
been started. The road to be improved
is 7 1-2 miles in length and extends "to
a point, one-half mile opposite Carolina
Beach.; A hard road will be built by
the owners of the resort to the beach.
The work of extending the road to
Wilmington Beach and Fort Fisher Sea
Beach will be done by the "owners of
the three resorts. -
WILL LECTURE THIS EVENING
Mr. F. H. Xewell to Tell of Government
Reclamation Work at Hemenway
School Tonight.
Mr. F. H. Newell, chief of the land
reclamation bureau of the Department
of the Interior, Washington, D. C, who
is spending several days in the city
studying the colonization work that
has been done in this section, will de
liver a lecture at the Hemenway audi
torium this evening at 8:30 o'clock,
and the public is cordially invited to
hear him. No admission will be charg
ed, and the lecture will be in line withT
the other extension course lectures at
the Hemenway school this spring.
Mr. Newell's lecture will be illustrat
ed with numerous beautifully cotered
lantern slides, showing reclamation
scenes in the West, where the govern
ment has reclaimed and made produc
tive thousands and thousands of acres
of arid": and desert lands. He will tell
of this work, and of its results.
Mr. Newell arrived yesterday morn
ing and will be here three days study
ing conditions in this section. His im
mediate purpose is to visit the colo
nies of Carolina Trucking Development
Company, but he will also take occa
sion to make a general study of the
conditions prevailing throughout the
section.
Many well-posted men believe that
the government will in the not too dis
tant future adopt a policy of reclalfrn
ing the swamp lands of the South and
East, just as it has expended vast sums
in reclaiming desert' and arid lands In
the West. " ,
