Four Homes Areas
Bids from six companies for the

Million Dollar City Budget Adopted;
1941-42 Tax Rate Boosted To $1.50
With only minor budgetary in
creases, plus a clause whereby fig
ures setup for individual funds may
be transferred to other funds pro
vided the necessity should arise, the
city council yesterday unanimously
approved the $1,053,321.63 budget for
the 1941-42 fiscal year.
With adoption of the budget, Wil
mington taxpayers took a manda
tory boost of 10 cents per $100 in
the tax rate bringing the figure to
$1.50.
The figure finally approved yes
terday was some $1,400 above the
tentative budget as presented three
weeks ago to council, the increase
being made necessary because of
the purchase of 10 police uniforms
to care for an increased force when
the civil service board approves ap
plicants for the position.
Large Increase
The new budget shows increase of
$206,609.95 over the budget of $845,
398.38 of the 1940-41 fiscal year. The
increase was explained as being
caused by national defense activities
and increased operating costs.
Before adoption of the budget, the
council unanimously moved that a
stipulation be made enabling it to
vary appropriations adopted for var
ious city departments as the need
arises in the eyes of the governing
body.
Notes Renewed
The council voted a renewal of
$77,000 in bond anticipation notes for
a period of 90 days, to begin on Sep
tember 1. Due to a shortage of WPA
labor, Councilman Edgar Yow -e
ported the proposed paving of a num
ber of city streets is progressing
slowly. Since Fourth street has al
ready been paved, he said, the work
there will soon be bonded. The same
applies for other streets on which
the paving is completed.
An abatement of $12,500 in tax re
turns was voted for the Masonic
Temple corporation. The abatement

was motivated by excessive tax as
sessments being made on the build
ing last year, after the legislature
had ruled that private buildings be
ing used for commercial purposes are
subject to taxation. *
The council decided to meet with
the county commissioners in a joint
session Tuesday afternoon at 3
o’clock for the purpose of appoint
ing a city-county tax collector. This
action is necessary every two years.
The present collector is C. R. Morse.
A proposal that the council share
costs with the county in providing
larger quarters for a negro girls’
sewing project, under the sponsor
ship of the NYA, was carried pend
ing further recommendations from
Mr. Wallace. The project, which is
now located at 612 Walnut street,
presents articles to charity and the
Community hospital.
The larger quarters will be located
at Ninth and Castle streets, and will
require a rental of $30 a month in
addition to light and water expenses.
The NYA, according to a communi
cation from Harold Jeter, director,
will continue to furnish the girls
with equipment, supervision and
material.
Kenan Message Read
A telegram from Mrs. James G.
Kenan with regard to creation of a
new trucking route around the city
proper was read by the city man
ager.
Although no positive action was
taken, Councilman Yow suggested
that the city remove the monument
of George Davis at Third and Mar
ket streets.
Councilman Robert LeGwIn added
that he believed the monument a
definite traffic hazard. Mayor Har
grove Bellamy disagreed with other
members of the body by pointing out
that the monument serves to slow
down traffic and prevent accidents.
When Mr. Wallace stated that it
would cost an estimated $500 to re
move the obstruction. Mayor Bel
lamy answered that the cost was ex
orbitant, and should action be taken
he can get the stat/3 removed for
almost gratis.
Mr. Wallace was authoi'zed to
