Present, Mayor Waddell, City Attorney Iredell Meares,; City Clerk and Treasurer B. F. King, ! and Aldermen McRaeJ Taylor, Mont gomery, West, j Worth, Spencer, Hanby, Woolard, Parker, ' and Springer. ; j ... - ;.' I On motion of Alderman Taylor. Drs. Geo. G. Thomas and P. H. Russell were re-elected members of the Board of Health. The other members, Mayor Waddell, City Surveyor McReeJ and Health Superintendent W. D. McMil- an hold their places ex-officio and did not require re election. i ! On motion of Alderman Springer the police force was allowed the usual summer vacation of one week each. The Mayor stated that he had been waited upon by a delegation of bar bers in regard to the barbers' license tax. He said the impression Drevailed that the "boss" barber- was exempted from the payment of j the tax. Clerk King said all had been exempted j pre viously. A discussion arose upon the wisdom of excusing barbers who; run only one chair, shoemakers, and others whose business amounts to little more than a laboring man's daily work, from a license tax. The Board seemed un favorable though no action was taken. . Reports of committees were next taken up. Alderman Worth read the following ordinance. "Be it ordained by the Board of Al dermen of the city of , Wilmington that the sale to Messrs. E. H. Rollins & Sons of the $150,000 of four percent bonds of the city, to be dated lstof July. 1899, and issued under the act rati fied 28th of February, 1899, to refund use amount- of bonds of the city which, mature on the first of January, 11812, be and the . same" is hereby ratified and confirmed. The said bonds and in terest coupons shall be payable in gold coin of the United States of the pres ent weight and fineness at the office of the U. S. Mortgage and Trust Com pany in the qity of New York." Adopted. . ; For the Committee on Markets, Al derman! West stated that the request to close markets at 12 o'clock M. was unfavorably reported upon. Alder man Montgomery called attention i to the terrible condition of the market house. . j i . .1.1 . . Alderman Hanby reported for the Public Buildings Committee that re pairs had been made to the roofs of some of the engine houses He also said that plans and bids for the erec tion of city pest houses had been sub mitted to him. After discussion; by Aldermen Hanby, Taylor, Parker and others, it was moved to authorize the committee to close a contract with the lowest responsible bidder at a sum not to exceed the appropriation of $1,000. In his report for the Sanitary Com mittee, Alderman MacRae called at tention to several important matters. He stated that the Board of Health thought that the sanitary carts ousht- to b3 more or less under the super vision of the superintendent of health ; and he added that the use of a furnace would decrease the number of carts. He also called attention to the uncer tainty which prevailed as to whose duty it was to remove shavings and other trash from new buildings and the branches cut from the trees by the telephone and telegraph companies. At this juncture, on motion of Alder man Taylor, the Mayor was instructed to prosecute telephone and telegraph companies for the mutilation of trees. NextJ Alderman MacRae described the conflict of authority which arose in the ! vork of repairing choked sewers. In brief, the i situation is that it is against the health ordinances : to remove the soil, and the sewers can not be repaired without breaking? the soil. It was decided that results from the disturbance of the soil would he less dangerous than from leaving the sewers choked. A motion was made instructing the superintendent 'of health; accordingly, the understand ing, of : course, being that all practi cable precautions . should be taken, In his report Alderman "MacRae pointed ! out the ' need of a sewerage system. v I For the Streets and- Wharves Com mittee Alderman MacRae reported a delay in getting phosphate rock, due to the refusal of the superintendent of the penitentiary to send hands to get? the rock out- He also thought that the ordinance regarding the removal ;of soil would interfere with the improve ment of the streets. ' After discussion it was decided, on motion of Alder men Taylor, "to! instruct the Streets and Wharves Committee, before doing further work on the streets, to confer with the Board of Health. Alderman Tavlor reported for the Fire Committee and made a motion providing a per diem of. 5- cents to ;be paid the members of tne nre aepari ment for the purchase of suits. Pre viously the firemen have had to pay for their own "suits. I Alderman Tay- w also riresented a request from Chief Schnibben of the fire depart ment that he be allowed the sum ;of 1150, amount paid for his horse and buctfv. iThe ground of the request . that tVift p.hifif had civen up his Vmainftss ana was devoting his whole time to fire department work without additional remuneration. Action was postponed. Alderman Taylor WILMINGTON, N. 0., TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1899 reported further that he was trying to get necessary wagons for $300. i - . When the report of the Ordinance Committee- was called for, an ordi nance regarding -.license" taxes and providing,! penalties for failure to comply with its requirements : was read and adopted. I Alderman Springer, chairman of the Light Committee, stated that the light ing contract was ready for approval. It was read by the clerk and adopted. nit the Wilmington Street Railway Company agree to furnish seventy-five arc lights of 2,000 candle power each in their present locations at'$3.75 per month on a moonlight schedule.

" After calling the Board to order at 2:30 o'clock the final half hour was de voted to the examination ; of cata ogues ana illustrations of road ma-. chinery, particularly those of rock crushers made by the American Road Machinery Col : Mr. Scott,; of that company, was present and addressed the Board, explaining: a proposition which the company has made to fur nish the county with a No. 4 crusher for the purpose of preparing macadam to be used in the road improvements soon to be inaugurated in this county. The crusher and equipment which the Board contemplates purchasing will cost between $1,500 and $2,000. Definite action in - regard to. this purchase was deferred and may be taken this afternoon, when . other. matters pertaining: to putting into effect the various provisions of the new road law enacted by the recent Legislature will be considered. ' The Tax Levy. . The business ' most probably of the greatest interest to the general public was the adoption of a general tax levy for 1899, the Board being , required to make a levy at the regular June meet ing of each year. 4 . xne finance yommittee nad previ ously estimated the amount of money which will be required to meet the current expenses and provide the vari ous special funds and they recom mended, through Col. Roger Moore, the following levy, which, after pro tracted discussion and investigation, was adopted: ' 1 ' General expenses, 33& cents on the $100 valuation; military, of a cent on the $100- valuation': roads and bridges,. 10 cents on the $100 valua tion (this is in j compliance - with the provisions of the new road law) ; bond ed debt, 3 cents on the $100 valua tion ; hospital, 4 cents on the $100 val uation; poll tax, $1.56. Total levy, az cents on tne $100 valuation. The State levy is 43 cents, which with the levy stated above makes 95 cents taxes to be levied upon the $100 valuation in the county. The State poll tax is $1.29, so that the total poll tax will be $2.85. - The motion to adopt the above' levy was made by Commissioner j Mc Eachern, seconded by- Commissioner Holmes. Objection was made to the levy by Commissioner Alexander on the ground that the increased valua tion of property being made by the assessors would provide additional revenue, so that the levy could be made lower. I Chairman Moore held a conference with Mr. T. O. Bunting, of the Board of assessors, who informed mm tnat tne completion of the new property tax valuations would be completed to-day when the exact increase of valuation could be ascertained. Every mem ber of the Board emphasized the state ment that they were anxious to make the levy just as low as is- consistent with good business judgment in run ning the affairs of the-county. In view of tne fact tnat it is re quired by Statute that the levy be made at the first meeting in June of each year, the Board voted that the levy recommended by the Finance Committee be adopted with the under standing that in case the increased valuation was sufficient to warrant it a general reduction would be made in the property valuation. Miscellaneous, Business. Dr. W. D. McMillan, as county superintendent, of health, reported 116 pauper patients treated in his office and 99 visits made to 74 patients at their homes. The jail he reported to be in the best condition he has ever seen it. and the county home well kept.
