Business Men Recommend to At--U- dermen Repeal of License js Tax Regulation. ! ; MEETING AT NOON YESTERDAY Merchants Claim Thlt AH Leiltimtte. Eq terprises Should be . Exempt From -Prlyiletes-iomniittee to Pre sent Sentiments to Board. - Yesterday at noon, pursuant to ad journment Thursday, a number of the business men of the city met at the rooms of the Merchants1 Aasociatinn' for the consideration of the privilege tax question. -Mr.'B. F. Hall was called to the chair and Mr. T. W. Clawson.' of the Messenger, and Mr. J. E. Thompson, of the Stab, were made secretaries. Those in'attendance were Messrs. W. E. Worth, J. C. Stevenson. R.' M. Wescott, Wm. Niestle, J. F. Rulfs, I. M. Bear, W. J. Penny, C. M. Whit lock, C. a Covington, W. B. Cooper, B. F. Keith, S. H. - Fishblate, George O. Gajlord, H H. Burnett R R Stone, C. Ed Taylor, G. J. Boney, B. F. Penny, C. D. Foard, W. A. "French, L. B. McKenrie, B. F. Penay, E. N. Penny, P. Heinsberger and A. D. Wessell. Mr. Hall, in taking the chair, stated that the meeting was called for the purpose of formulating some plan by which the merchants and business men of the city could secure relief from the burdensome privilege tax now 0being enforced by the present city administration and to . invent some plan to be submitted to the Board of Aldermen, which would raise suf ficient revenue for the city's expenses and at' the same time work no hard ship on the business interests of Wil mington. , - Mr. b. F. Keith opened the discus sion by saying that the committee of Aldermen had misinterpreted the text of the protest filed against the ex cessive tax some time ago; that the pe titioners did not contend that the priv ilege tax measure was a creation of the present Board of Aldermen, but that the protest was filed against the en forcement of the same as a careful ex amination o f the petition would show. He explained that twenty cents per month on sales virtually, amounted to $2.40 per year on the hundred dol lars if the hundred dollars invested was re-invested and the money "turn ed over", at least twelve times per year as it usually is in a thriving business where there is no surplus capital. This, he said, covered entirely the propositions embodied in the petition. Mr. W. EL Worth was of the same opinion as Mr. Keith as regards the re-investment of capital, taking the ground that when capital is invested and re-invested, the purchases being sold over and over again, the tax is in proportion to the progressiveness of the business man in turning over his money. Tbe privilege tax derived from business men in the city, he said, amounted to only about $14,000, exclusive of privileges paid by liquor dealers and itinerant enterprises. He thought such a tax could easily be derived from othe sources on a much more equitable basis. If there was one thing that . had driven capital away from Wilmington, it was the iniquitous privileges and he favored their abolition altogether. It might appear hard at first for the city to deny itself of the money derived from this source, but it wouldtiltimately end in a blessing to Wilmington. But for this tax he knew of at least from two to three million dollars that would have been invested here by outside parties. Mr. Worth said he favored giving every man an opportunity to live and that the levy of sr privilege tax for earning an honest livelihood was not countenanced by the constitu tion. Mr., R. M. Wescott also opposed the regulation and cited instances of men with capital who had been deterred from locating here on account of this tax. .:. Mr. C. O. Covington "also favored the abolition of the-taxand called at tention to the discriminating features of the ordinance. Cotton and naval stores men were taxed in addition to the regular license of $1.00 only $4.00 per month, when the volume of their business was greatly in excess of that of the ayerage wholesale merchant Capital, to his own knowledge, had been driven away by excessive taxa- tionr ' " - Mr. W. J.' Penny thought it folly to ask the Aldermen for a complete abolition of. the tax and proposed a fifty per cent reduction, from the fact that a moderate tax -would drive out itinerary merchants of -an undesirable character. . ' ' - . ".' . . Mr. S. H. Fishblate thought - the matter should be fully ventilated. Taxes were so excessive that it was hard for 'Wilmington merchants td compete with other " uras. J5e com-' alimented the personnel of the Board of Aldermen and called attention ; to the heavy debt incurred by the differ ent boards. " ,p . . " : ' Mr- L M. Bear favored' the appoint ment of a'eommittee to confer with the aldermen looking to the abolition of the tax, and i if this could ; not. beT se secured to ask tor a minimum rate, Mr. J. G. Stevenson said that . a rate of twenty cents ; per hundred wasxi cessive and that the Board .of Alder men admitted that such a rate, would raise . twice the' amount of revenue necessary if the tax was if airly collect edr-He suggested a 'recommendation to the Aldermen that the rate be re-, dueed to ten cents . per hundred.and that the business men pledge them gelvea to give in their sales fairly.- He, saidhowever, that the time was rripe for the " repeal of the lawj it militated against the investment of capital. As ...... . .. - ; . .. . .1 i : - - - ... . .. w an offset to the i loss of revenue rer" suiting from an abolition of the tax, he said that there was a new valuation of property and a natural increase in new buildings; ' a reduced, rate had been secured on the city's bonded indebtedness and 'that, the present city administration was an economical one and is making large savings for thecity. Even allowing a fair reduc tion on the valuation -of real estate,. there would be surplus enough left to warrant the repeal of the present privi lege iax regulation. The aldermen knew that that they could not legally enforce the collection of the privilege taxes, as the Schedule B tax had been tested in the Supreme Court and a de cision rendered that goods purchased in another State, broueht to North Carolina and sold in original pack ages, were not liable to purchase tax, but that in the light even of this deci sion he thought there" was no geodciti sen who would. attempt to evade it but would be willing to bear his part of the city's burden. He character ized the tax as a most onerous one and an incubus in the way of progress. Mr. Keith moved that the tax. be abolished, and it was promptly sec onded by Messrs. Geo. O. Gaylord and C. D. Foard. 'Mr. W. E.'Worth asked .that he be allowed to amend the' motion, which ' was done. The following resolution was then offered by Mr. Worth, and after discussion by Messrs. C. M. WEitlock, R. M. Wescott Wm. Niestle, CI. Foard and others, it was carried by a unani mous vote: Resolved, .That it is the sense of this meeting that all license taxes onaN per manent business interests merchants, manufacturers, artisans and professions be abolished,, excepting such as are leviedior police regulations and others of an itinerant nature. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the chairman to pre sent this resolution to the Board of Al dermen. Messrs. W. E. Worth. J. C. Steven son and I. M. Bear were appointed by Mr. Hall, the chairman, as the com mittee named in the resolution. Mr. W. B. Cooper, who retired be fore the vote was taken, explained that he could not vote for the resolu sion from the fact that he had assur ance from a member of the Board of Aldermen that a' fair adjustment of the matter would be made satisfactory. he thought to the merchants. mmaMMMr'MMWMMMMMMM" i BOARD OF HEALTH.

' The Details. , The bicycle races on Carolina Beach yesterday afternoon were a big suc cess. There was a large crowd of spec tators and the racers made specially good .time the- condition of the beach considered. A Northeast wind caused the tide to ebb very slowly thereby delaying the races and making the beach where the races were run rath er heavier than it would otherwise have been. .

The wheelmen and race course, officers were also on board the steamer. When they reached the beach they found the tide a little too high and it was almost 6:30 before the races were called. This Was quite a disappoint ment to many who were obliged to re turn to the city on the next' boat andy therefore were deprived of the pleas- ureof witnessing the races. However there was still a goodly company of spectators when the races were called.
