Alderman Dudley moved that the peti tion t referred to the Finance Committee to formulate a license tax for bill pesters. Alderman Bear raised the point of order. The Mayor decided that Alderman Bear's motion was in order, and it was put to a vote and carried. A petition was presented calling attention to the condition of Front and Second streets, between Dawson and Kidder streets, and asking that some provision be made for lights in that section. The petition was referred to the Committee on Lights. The following communication from the Commissioners of the Wilmington, Onslow & East Carolina Railroad was readf Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 2nd, 1886. To the Honorable, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, City of Wilmington, N, C: Gentlemen The undersigned. Com missioners of the W., O. & E. C. Railroad Company, respectfully request, that you no longer delay action Im ordering an election relative to a subscription by the city to the capital stock of said Railroad Company, . The petition of voters asking for a sub scription to be made by the city, was re ceived and acted upon by the Board of Al dermen at their meeting, Juno 7th, 1586, at which time the City Attorney was. request ed to file his opinion, which opinion was filed and was before the Board of Alder men at their regular meeting on July 5th, 1886, saying "That the corporate authori ties of the city' of Wilmington should or der tne election reierred to in the act." The act declares "it shall, be the duty of the . city authorities, "upon (at the time or) tne written, application pf lhree Commissioners," Jtogether - with the pe tition of at least ' one-fifth of the qual ified voters ; therein, to appoint a day on which an election shall be held. We claim that on the 7th of- June we pre sented the application and petition, as pre scribed by law, and an election should have been ordered at that tome. ' ; - t i r- : At the regular meeting of your Board held July 6th the city attorney's written opinion, asked by you as to your duty, plainly informs you that "the-corporate authorities of the city of Wilmington should order tne election referred to in the act." If not aware of your duty on the 7th of June you did' know it on the 6th Of July, and should then have ordered an election ' We claim that the action taken - by your body on June 7th and July 6th upon the petition of voters so , places said petition that it cannot be withdrawn at this stage of the case, and especially not by a petition to yotfr - .Board,; procured by tne action of a portion ; or the members or 1 your Board, after a conference held by re quest of; your Board, and during a delay occasioned by your body after the law had been fully-complied with,: and ,thq matter laid ' before - you in accordance with the law, and -should have been .act ed upon without delay, : as? your city attorney, advised, and m accordance with the act which declares It shall be the duty' of the city authorities upon (at the time of) the written application of three. Commissioners," together with the petition of at least one-fifth of the qualified "voters therein, to appoint a day on which an elec tion should be held." all of which law, re quired of.' the Commissioners, has been done. : ' ."" :" ' -V"" 'u. Your duty under the law is imperative; the petition fulfilled its part when filed, and haying become operative cannot be annul led. Had the order for an election been .made 7th of June or 6th of Juiy, the pe- tion would have been operative tben, li no; before. A failure of the board to discharge its duty, at the time, cannot place the peti tion in a different position than ; it would have held, had an election . been ordered as law directed, at the time it was received by you. . lour delay could .not weaken nor change its force. 1 We tnererore most re pectfully and. earnestly, request that your, honorable bodv act ubon this matter with out further delay, as it may materially jeop ardize the enterprise. V . Yours respectfully, - : . f , A. H. VanBokkkt.tcn, " : ; Roger Moore , ' J. B. Htjggins, Commissioners W., O. &E. C. R. R. A" petition was also, read from 609 per sons who had signed the former petition presented to the Board, asking that they be allowed to withdraw their signatures from the same, j '' . Mayor Hall stated the result of the Con ference of the committee appointed, by the Board of Aldermen, with the railroad com missioners and the refusal of the latter to permit the petition they had presented to be withdrawn or referred back to the peti- ioners themselves. -The City Attorney being. called upon said that it was for the Board of Aldermen to decide whether after the withdrawal of 609 names from the petition asking for an election to decide whether the city should subscribe to the railroad, the remaining 517 comprised one -fifth of . the qualified voters of the city.; Alderman Boney presented the following resolution which was adopted; The City Attorney having advised this Board that the persons, (qualified voters in the City) who, having signed the original petition presented to tnis Board, after wards withdrew their signatures and ap proval, from said petition before the same was i acted upon, and the election therein referred to was ordered by this Board, had a legal right so to do; and, it further ap pearing to the satisfaction of this Board that the names now Btanding on said petition, excluding those withdrawn, as aforesaid, do not : amount to one-nun of tne qualified voters in the city of Wilmington; therefore Resolved. That the conditions reauired bv the act of incorporation of said railroad company have not, in the opinion of this .Board been complied with, and tnat, there fore, the election referred to in said act is not necessary and cannot be legally ordered and held. The claim of J, S. McEachern for dam ages to hay caused by rain was received and referred to a special committee, consist ing of 1 Aldermen Dudley, Doscher and Giles. A communication from W. B. McKoy was; received, and while being read Alder man Bear moved that the further reading be dispensed , with on the ground that it was disrespectful to the Board, and moved that; it be returned to the writer. The mo tion was lost and Aldermen Bear and Howe were allowed to have their votes recorded in favor of the motion, and the communi cation was then referred to the committee on Streets and Wharves. It is in regard to a sewer on premises owned by the com plainant. Mayor Hall, from the special com mittee appointed at the last meeting, on the matter of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad, reported that the commit tee disagreed - Cosnideration of Alderman Bear's mo- tiw, made at the last meeting of the Board, to reappoint the same committee of citizens to negotiate with the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad- Co., was, on motion of Alderman Worth, postponed until Thurs day next at 4 p. m. - f The Board then adjourned.
