Important Action As to Charter l egislation Taken Yester day Afternoon." THE INTER-STATE TELEPHONE Manager Simmons Wants a Co-Operative Company Formed to Boy the Wll mingtoo Exchange "at $30,000. - To Be Investigated. - The Chamber of Commerce proposes to take an active part in directing any legislation pertaining to the city of Wilmington which may be introduced during the present session of the General Assembly. This was forcibly evidenced yesterday afternoon during the regular January meeting of the chamber held in Mac RaeHall at 3.30 o'clock. i There were present a number of the most influential business men of the city. The matter of legislation was brought to the attention of the chanf ber by the report of.Capt T. D. Meares, as chairmau of the com mittee appointed by President Jas. H. Chadbourn, Jr., at the December meeting, to draft and engineer through the Legislature a new charter for .the icity. Other members of the commit tee, it. will be remembered, were Junius .Davis, Esq., Mr. rWilliam Cajder, Mr. Donald MacEae and P. B. Manning, Esq. .. ';;. '. ;-,; "v .;, '.'""! Capt. Meares reported the that, com mittee has drafted the bill. It is the one a brief outline of which was pub ished in a recent issue of the Stab, and was, in fact introduced in the House of Representatives by George Rountre), Esq., during yesterday's session of the General Assembly. In making his report as to the new charter Capt. Meares reviewed special: features of the bill emphacizing the! provisions for a police commission and the holding of primary elections for candidates for members of the Board of Audit and Finance and the Board of Aldermen. Also,' the restrictions as to the election of the Mayors In con clusion he recommended that the Chamber authorize the committee to employ legal advisers to assist in the work delegated tolthe. committee by the Chamber. - President Chadbourn suggested that the matter of employing attorneys in the manipulation of legislative affairs be brought to the attention 1 of the Board of Aldermen as it also came within their province. This idea was also concurred in by Mr. D. L. Gore and Mr. A. B. Skelding. - ! After some discussion it was moved by Mr. T. F. Bagleymd seconded by Capt T. C. James that: the committee on charter, of which Capt. Meares is chairman, be continued and instructed to appear before the Board of 'Alder men and lay before that body their views in regard to the employment of attorneys. The Board will be asked to make an appropriation for this pur pose. : ' n . ' L InterState Telephone Proposition. I . Mr. Thos. F. Simmons, manager of the Wilmington Inter-State Telephone Exchange, appeared before the Cham ber and submitted a proposition to sell the exchange and ; entire telephone equipment to the business men of the city: ; He said that about October 15th last the' Inter-State Company received a proposition from certain Baltimore capitalists to purchase the exchanges in this city! and in Raleigh so that they might stop the building of the long distance line to Raleizh. His company, he said, did not care to sell to these capitalists, but is- willing to sell to a co operative stock company composed of the business men of 7 Wil mington. Such an organization among the subscribers, he said, would result in the saving of $8,000 to $10,- 000 a year. .. ' The company, he said, will take. $30,000 for the plant, including the long-distance line to Rocky Point and other tributaries, which : is, according to Mr. Simmons? statement ' paying about 11 per cent, on that valuation, and will make' every dollar invested Lin the co operative company back within five years. i Mr. T. F. Bagley favored Mr. . Sim mons' proposition and thought' that the business men of the city should take hold of it. ' ' 4- ', 4 Mr. H. C. McQueen expressed him self, as favorably impressed and made a motion that five citizens be appointed a committee to investigate the matter and make a report to a subsequent meeting of the Chamber. I Mr. D. L; Gore seconded the motion, which was carried. , . -. President Chadbourn will, announce the committee some time to-day. ; A Proposed Textile School. A communication from Capt. Don ald MacRae, of the Wilmington Cot ton Mills, stated 'f- that! the pres ent General s Assembly would be asked to appropriate $15,000 for the establishment of a textile school, to be; located in the city which would offer the best inducements, j It is the sentiment of the Chamber that if the bill becomes a law Wilmington must exert every effort to secure the prize. 4 A Prospecting Mannfacturer. j ' As a closing incident of the session of the Chamber it was announced by President Chadbourn that a prospector representing extensive manufacturing interests has recentlyvisited the city and under the direction ofMr. J. W. Norwood, President of the Atlantic National Ban, made a tnorougn sur vey of the city, and its advantages. He expressed himself as highly pleasedr The Chamber instructed Col. Jno. L. Cantwelk the efficient secretary, who was as usual at his desk, to write the gentleman further as to advantages available here.
