FRIDAY, JULY 29,
The Market Question-
Committees from the Board of Audit
and Finance and the Board of Aldermen
met yesterday afternoon to consider the
petition recently submitted to them by
the Wilmington Market Company, but
adjourned until this afternoon, when final
cial action will probably be taken. "As
there seems to ba considerable interest
manifested in this matter, we publish
herewith the prayer of the petitioners:
TO THE HONORABLE, THE MAYOR AND
BOARD OF ALDERMEN OP THE CITY OF
WILMINGTON AND THE BOARD OF' AUDIT
AND FINANCE OF SAID CITY : .
Gentlemen : . . . ; V
Your petitioners, the Wilmington
Market Company, respectfully showeth :
That, early in the year 1879 a number
of the citizens of this City, induced by
the very apparent want and necessity of
a building proper, convenient and com
fortable, for the purposes of public mar
kets, and still further persuaded by the
opinion and desires of a. large number
01 the citizens of said City, to
wit, 2,000, as expressed.in a petition an
nexed hereto signed by them and request
ing the Board of Aldermen to aid and
promote so laudable an enterprise, form
ed a corporation for the purpose of pro
curing eligible locations, and erectiDg
thereon commodious andhandsome build
ings, suitable and proper for public mar
kets, the use and benent 01 which might
accrue to the City without increasing
the burden of taxation upon the citizens.
. Upon the presentation of the said pe
tion and certain proposals of your peti
tioners to the Board of Aldermen, and
after due consideration and negotiations,
a contract was at last prepared and exe
cuted between the City of Wilmington
and 'your petitioners, providing among
other things that if your petitioners
would erect certain buildings for public
markets, according to certain plans and
specifications therein agreed upon, the
said City wonld have, hold and use said
buildings as' public markets, paying the
consideration in said contract agreed up
on for The same. ;
Thereupon your petitioners, relying
upon the said contract in good faith and
in pursance thereof, purchased the land,
and, at great expense and outlay of
money, erected thereon handsome, con
venient and commodious buildings, suit
able for public markets and in strict com
pliance with the plans and specifications
selected by the Board of Aldermen, and
tendered the " same to the City. And
the Board of Aldermen, after a careful
survey and examination of said build
ings, duly received and approved the
same as being according to contract.
Then after and subsequent to the erec
tion, completion and acceptance of said
buildings by the City, legal objections
being suggested to some of the pro vis
ions of said contract, by the attorneys
of the City, it was agreed by all parties
that another and different contract should
be entered into in reference to said mar
ket,which was accordingly drawn and ex
ecuted bv the .Board ot Aldermen and
your petitioners on the 7th day of De
cember, 1880, whereby your petitioners
conveyed to the said City of Wilmington
m fee simple (except the market in the
Fifth Ward which was for a term o
years) the said lands and premises with
the improvements thereon and the City
is now, and has been since the said 7th
day of December, 1880, the legal owners
and in possession thereof, subject how
ever only to the condition that the City
on its part would keep and perform cer
tain covenants, agreements and stipula
tions m said contract contained. The
Board of Audit and Finance was re
auested to endorse and approve the
said contract and another petition
annexed hereto, signed by a
large number 01 citizens, rep
resenting $2,735,000 of the taxable prop
erty in said city, was presented to the
Bord of Audit and Finance, earnestly
requesting and urging said Board to en
dorse and approve the contract last above
mentioned. But a majority of the Board
refused to endorse said contract for reas
ons assigned in a communication to the
Board of Aldermen; since which time the
city, though exercising control over said
buildings, has done nothing towards the
performance of said contract, while your
petitions have at all times been ready and
willing to perform the same in good
faith. Upon the foregoing fact your pe
titions submit: that as they were induced
to undertake the heavy expense of pur
chasing lands and erecting thereon build
ings suitable for public markets and did
erect the same, in strict compliance with
the plans and specifications prescribed by
the city of Wilmington, and in pursuance
of and relying upon the contract solemn
ly entered into with said city and at the
suggestion and request of a large num
ber of citizens a strong equity at least
exists in theirbehalf which should induce
the authorities of the city to take some
action which will relieve your petitioner
from the heavy and grievous loss which
must necessariiv result to them from a
refusal on the part of the city so to do.
as the buildings are totally unfit and can
not be used for any other purpose than
as CityJMarkes; where forej-our petition
ers ask that your honorable bodies, the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen and the
Board of Audit and Finance, will duly
consider of these matters and take such
action in the premises as equity and good
conscienc;shaJIJdictatefand your petition
ers will in the same spirit entertain any
proposition the city authorities may sub
mit in this behalf.
