BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Praeaadlnca of Xlscnlar Sfontalv
I5Xtlng
The Board of Aldermen met yester
day in regular monthly session. All
the members of the Board were pres
ent with the exception of Alderman
Fishblate who is at Saratoga, N. Y.,
and Alderman Hall who is in Onslow
county.
After .the board was called to order
and the minutes of the last meeting
were read, Mayor Fowler stated that
Mr. Geo. H. Chadbourn, President of
the First National bank, was present
and desired to address the board.
Mr. Chadbourn said that he appear
ed in behalf of the bank; he read the
tax laws of the State as enacted by
the last General Assembly and
argued that an unjust discrimination
was made therein against National
banks, in requiring the listing for
taxation of the shares of both resi
dent and non-resident stockhold
ers. He said that the Board of
County Commissioners had been
applied to for relief and that
the chairman of that board had
written to Sate Treasurer Bain in re
gard to the matter; but the only an
swer received was that the law was
explicit. He had listed, under the
law, all the stock, both of residents
and non-residents, but had entered
his protest against it. All he asked
of the Board was, to be allowed to
list on the same terms as State
banks,
The Mayor said it was evident that
the law made a discrimination against
national banks, and on motion of Al
derman King the matter was referred
to the Finance Committee with pow
er to act.
Alderman King, from the commit
tee on Public Buildings, reported
that the contracts for repairing the
city court room and building a new
guard house had been awarded to Mr.
Post.
Alderman Pearsall reported that
the committee on Streets and
Wharves had contracted with R P.
McDougall for two wagons, to cost $80
each. Approved.
Committee on Sanitation reported
progress in regard to the matter of
odorless excavators.
Alderman Dudley, from the com
mittee on Hospital, reported that
managers of that institution were put
to a great deal of inconvenience by
the delay experienced in having to
await the action of the Board of
Audit and Finance in signing war
rants, and desired to bring the matter
to the attention of that board.
In reply to a question as to the
proposed city fountains, the Mayor
said that the Board of Audit and
Finance had approved of the appro
priation for that purpose.
The Mayor said that the First Na
tional Bank had just placed $180,000
of city bonds without compensation
therefor. He suggested that the bank
should be remunerated for its ser
vices, and a commission of one per
eent. be paid.
Alderman Pearsall said that it was
customary when such large amounts
were handled to pay one-half of one
per cent.
The Mayor said that the bank had
been put to considerable trouble.
They had to send an agent North to
arrange matters.
Alderman Pearsall moved that the
bank be paid one-fourth of one per
cent, and expenses.
Alderman Price offered as a substi
tute that the bank be allowed one-
half of one per cent. The motion was
lost.
Alderman Pearsall's motion was
then adopted.
On the Water Works matter, the
Mayor, from the special committee,
reported progress.
Petitions for permission to erect
buildings were received from Mary H.
Blocker and D. J. Reeves.
The Mayor suggested that the ordi
nance licensing dance houses be re
pealed. He regarded them as a great
nuisance.
Alderman Rice thought that the
dance houses ought to.be broken up;
but he thought that if the ordinance
was repealed, the proprietors could
close their doors and still have their
dances, although not paying license.
A resolution offered by Alderman
Walker to repeal the ordinance was
adopted.
Mayor Fowler said there was a great
deal of building going on and it was
necessary to have a regular city sur
veyor.
On motion of Alderman Price, Mr.
Chase, Superintendent of the Claren
don Water Works, was elected City
Surveyor. -
A communication was received
from Little Columbia Fire Co. No. 5,
asking for repairs to their engine
house. On motion, the matter was
referred to the Committee and Chief
of the Tire Department.
.' Capt.' Brock's report of tests of lhe
water pressure was received and or
dered filed. ...
Application for the use of the City
Hall by Dread-naught Fire - Co., was
left to the discretion of the Mayor.
Alderman Pearsall offered "a resolu
tlonw which was adopted, that 'the
Chief of the Fire Department be re-
T T v SO FTTT1 A THY-
quested to adopt 'some signal by
which In case of an alarm of fire,' no
tification . will be given the public
when thelfire is out, and when the
alarmd turns out to be false. , -
On motion of Alderman Dudley the
Chief of the Fire Department was re
quested to make monthly reports to.
the Board.
There being no other business the
Board, adjourned.
Board of Aadlt and Flaanea.
The Board of Audit and Finance, at
tneir regular meeting yesterday after
noon, audited and approved bills for
current expenses amounting to $5,-
915.14; bonds, $3,000; coupons, $702.
Seven bonds and forty-five coupons,
redeemed and cancelled, were burned
in the presence of the board.
A communication from Mr. J. I
Macks, attorney for the Gamewell
Fire Alarm Company, was read. It
was in relation to the proposed pur
chase by the city of the fire alarm
system now in use, and offering, as
additional inducements that the city
authorities give a note for the pur
chase money which cannot be nego
tiated, but be only payable to the said
company; and that a provision be
inserted in the note that in case the
city desires to renew the said note,
that it may do so for a f utther term
of two years, at the same rate of in
terest. On motion the communication was
laid on the table.
The Board approved of the increase
in salary of the Superintendent of
Lights, voted by the Board of Alder
men, from $50 to $75 per month, to
take effect August 1st.
A communication was received from
the Clarendon Water Works Com
pany, offering to furnish gratuitously
a supply of water for the three drink
ing fountains to be erected by the
city, on condition that the mechani
cal construction of the fountains shall
be subject to the approval of the
Water Works Company; the water
mains to be paid for by the city, and
that ordinances be passed and en
forced to restrict the use of water to
the legitimate purpose of a drinking
fountain that is, to prevent the wa
ter being carried away in vessels, &c,
or diverted to other uses.
The Board has approved the appro
priation of $550 for the purchase of
three drinking fountains.

A Burglar Foliad.
Mrs. Adkins' boarding house, on
South Front street, near Orange, was
entered by a burglar last Sunday
morning about 3 o'clock. The bur
glar was at work at the door of a
sleeping apartment in the basement,
when three young men, boarders at
the house, came in at the front door.
They heard the noise he was making
and went down stairs to investigate,
when the fellow knocked down the
man in advance and sprang past the
other two and made his escape
through the back door, which he had
opened before he began operations.
The burglar is described as a large
man, but as there was no light in that
part of the house, the young men
were unable to tell whether he was
white or colored. He dropped a
bunch of skeleton-keys in the pas
sage. It was thought that he had
gained entrance to the house through
a window to the dining room, on the
first floor, opening on an alley.
