RNING WILMINGTON & WELDON RAILROAD. The Company Surrenders Its Exemption From Taxation. Raleigh News-Observer . It is with pleasure we learn that the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Com pany has agreed to surrender its right to be exempt from the payment of tax es, and will place its property on the same footing with that of individuals. The right of the company to be exempt from the payment of taxes is broad, clear and indisputable. The Legislature made a contract with it that the com pany should be exempt from the pay ment of taxes, and the Supreme Court of North Carolina and the Supreme r,t tho tt; c., JTj upon the contract, and have established la ' it as law that the State is bound by it. And so that company has for many I 1 1 "1 . vears eone aions witnoui cono-ioutinc could still continue to be free and ex- fpt irom taxation tor mty years. But " "t; I 111!

T"A uX r .u: We applaud the conduct of this com pany, and ask the people to bear it in mind. We have reason to be very par tial to the W. & W. Railroad. Inde pendent of other associations, it gave us work at forty dollars a month as a freight train conductor when we knew not where else to earn our bread; and we never forget a friend. But however partial we may be to that road, others will not be behind us in appreciating its conduct in surrendering an exemption from taxation and assuming its rightful burden and duties of citizenship. Let this action of the W. & W. R. R. Co. be heralded abroad, and let the people give it credit for its voluntary course in this matter. We learn that when the com- mittee now in session shall meet again, at the end of sixty days, all the details connecteo witn tnis surrender 01 tne eucii L-i iigiiLa (jj luc inning iuu anu VV eldon Company will be arranged, and after that several millions of dollars will De aooea to tne taxable property 01 tne btate. We make our bow to the W. & W. The Star is able to state authori- tatively that whilst the above statement J , . . is not exactly the proposition which will be made to the committee, it is sub- 1.1, . stantiauy correct, ano 11 tne projected arrangement is carried out the Wil- mington x Weldon Railroad will pay to the State annually more revenue than any other road within its borders. This arrangement would undoubtedly make the road stronger than ever with the people of North Carolina and de servedly so. The Wilmington & Weldon railroad has been of great benefit, not only to Wilmington but to many other portions of the State for within the last four years this company has built many branch roads of far more importance than our people realize. The length of the Wilmington &, Wel don road is one hundred and sixty-two miles and its branches aggregate three hundred and fourteen miles. With this road and its branches terminating at Wilmington, making tributary to it one of the finest sections of our State; and constantly pouring into its lap a gOOd part of the business Of the East it is safe to say that our present pros perity is due in a large measure tO it, I and in the future the benefits tO be de- i i , i I rived Will be largely increased. The Legislative Committee consists of Senators E. W. Kerr of Sampson, B. F. Aycock of Wayne and Representa tives M. E. Carter, of Buncombe; T. H. Sutton, of Cumberland. J. B. Holdman of Iredell. CITY AFFAIRS. Matters Considered by tne Board of Audit and Finance at Their Meeting Yesterday Afternoon. The Board of Audit and Finance held their regular semi-monthly session yes terday. All the members of the Board were present; the chairman, Mr. R. J. Jones, presiding. Alderman Craft appeared before the Board in reference to the appropriation voted by the Board of Aldermen for Wilmington S. F. E. Co. No. 1, and rejected by this Board. He gave in detail rhe expenses of the com- pany, showing that they had expended annually for the past two years, for ne Cessary expenses of the company Over I $250 more than the appropriations. After discussion, at the suggestion of Mr. Jones, the sum of $250 was voted the company fto make up the deficit and in lieu of an increased annual appropria tion. M Mr. Maunder moved that the Board reconsider its action at the last meeting in the matter of non-concurrence in the appropriation of $100 for the Assistant Chief of the Fire Depart ment. Ihe motion to reconsider was adopted, and a motion to make the ap propriation $75 was also carried, after debate, by a vote of five to three. Mr. Calder moved to reconsider the salary of the Chief of the Fire Depart- ment, but the motion was lost 5 to 3 On motion of Mr. Kenan, the appropriation of $7,452 for paving Nutt Street was concurred in Consideration of the appropriation for the Water Works in the matter ot additional fire hydrants was deferred for further report irom tne cnairman OI thee ommittee. APRIL 22, 1890. The proposed purchase of the Game- well Fire Alarm system was brought up, and on motion of Mr. Calder, who argued that it would be best to inquire into the cost of some other system before de termining upon its purchase, the chair man appointed a committee of two naming Mr. Kenan and Mr. Calder to confer with the Finance Committee of the Board of Aldermen in regard to the matter. Mr. Kenan moved that the Board re consider the salary of the clerk of the Police Court. The motion prevailed. and on Mr. Kenan's motion the salary was increased to $450 per annum.

Prices for Southern Vegetables and Fruits in the New York Market. G. J.

Receipts generally have been light and the demand active. Asparagus I is ruling firm and selling to-day from $4.50 to $5.50; seconds from $2 to $3. Cabbage rules very extreme for anything that is stVictly choice, and solid green heads selling from $3 to $3.50, and the outlook is favorable for continued high I prices on choice grades. I do not ad I vise hurrying forward anything that is not neaaea, as loose stocK is not wanted. I peas anu uluci new vcgctauica will bring extreme prices as soon as I ready. Market closes firm on eggs, and selling irom la to 13 cents j Strawberries have ruled very firm un j til to-day. Receipts were much heavier from t londa and prices have declined Fa"cy Hoffman selling from 40 to 50 cents and other prime berries from 30 to 35 cents; inferior 18 to 25 cents.
