ALDERMEN REDUCED PRIVILEGE TAX RATE In Response to Third Petition Yesterday Prom Business Men No Longer ; a Specific Regulation. - The merchants' license tax matter was again the chief topic of discussion at a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen held yesterday afternoon, and the question was finally disposed of by the adoption of a motion made by Alderman Springer, and seconded by Alderman' MacRae, rescinding all former legislation along this line and making the tax on wholesale and re tail dealers alike one 'dollar per month . and ten 'cents additional on every 100 sales, or fractional part thereof. , The occasion for the reconsideration of the matter by the Board was a com munication from the Board of Audit amd .Finance formally-notifying ; the Aldermen that a petition from a num ber of merchants hsd been received asking that the Board of Audit and Finance decline to ion cur in the action of the Board of Aldermen in passing the special iriv lege tix ordinance, the provision s of which are familiar to STAR rea ters, and that instead, the ordinance as passed yesterday afternoon be put in to effect The merchants in present ing their petition to the Board of Au dit and Finance, pledged themselves to pay the tax honestly and justly as contemplated in the law. This pe tition has been published in a previous issue of the Star together with the list of forty-eight signers. The ordinance passed yesterday af ternoon decreases the former rate per hundred dollars sales from twenty cents to ten cents, the specific tax Of $1 per month remaining the same. At the meeting were present, Mayor Waddell and Aldermen Worth, Mac Rae, Taylor, Parker, West, Spencer and Springer. Those voting for the measure as rec ommended by the merchants were Aldermen Springer, MacRae, Parker and Wes ; against: Aldermen Taylor, Worth and Spencer. Alderman Springer's motion, which prevailed, was an amendment to one of Alderman Taylor's to the effect that the Board of Aldermen decline to recede from its action in the matter re ferred to and that the Board of Audit and Finance be insisted upon to con cur in the same. This motion was however lost by the adoption of Alder man Springer's recommendation. The fight for the passage of the re commendation of the merchants was led by Aldermen Springer and Mac Rae, while the cause of the negative was championed by Aldermen Worth and Taylor. Alderman Taylor in stating his reasons for oppodag the measure said that the primary cause was that he be lieved the decreased rate would make a deficit in the city's revenue and that in the second place it would be unjust to the sixty-six other classes of business men taxed in the general ordinance in a specific way. The City Attorney was instructed to draw up an opinion as. to whether or not dealers were liable to tax on sales of original packages and to have them printed for distribution by the City Clerk and Treasurer. Mr. J. F. Garrell appeared before the board and asked that the hours for keeping open the city market house be from daylight until 12 o'clock M, and from 3 P. M. to 7 P. M, instead of from daylight to 11 o'clock A. M., and from 4 o'clock P. M, to 7 o'clock P. M. This he explained would "give the meat dealers two hours additional for the better accommodation of their patrons. The matter was referred .to the Market Committee. Mr. J. S. Sneeden, of the firm of Sneeden & Collins, asked-that huck stering by city people in the streets be prohibited and cited instances , where some hucksters would back their wagons in front of his place of business and sell goods to customers almost in his store. Mayor Waddell assured him that he would have the police put a stop to the practice. License for the retail of liquor was granted to Jno. M. Mayland on Prin cess between Front and Water streets. The Board then adjourned, subject to call of the Mavor. BY RIVER AND RAIL Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. W. & W. Railroad 3 barrels crude turpentine. W. C. & A.

An enthusiastic and well attended meeting of the Wilmington Light In fantry was held last night at the armory, the principal matter for dis cussion being the arrangements for placing the company in readiness to go into camp at Morehead City Saturday. Capt C. H. White has received General Order No. 5, from Colonel Commanding W. B. Rodman and Adjutant B. J. Wooten, and if em ployers of members do not increase difficulties by refusing to allow their employes leaves of absence the com pany will go almost en masse: Order No. 5 says that the State Guard is ordered into camp for seven days, and that transportation will be furnished troops by the State over the shortest route, subject to modifications by order from the Adjutant General's office. Company C, of the Guard, which is the Wilmington Light Infantry, will move from Wilmington, over the Wil mington and Newbern railroad, on the morning of July 15th. Companies D, H, M and L will mobilize ' at Golds boro, reporting to - Ma jor Gulick as soon as they arrive there, and from Goldsboro will proceed to camp under his command. Companies E, F and I will mobilize at Plymouthreporting to Major Bond, and proceed thence to Parmele, where they will be joined by Company B, and thence proceed to camp. Company K ' will report at Goldsboro temporarily, to Major Gulick, and proceed with his battalion to camp, where it will report to Major Bragaw. Companies A and G will mobilize at Parmele, reporting to Major Bragaw, and will thence pro ceed to Morehead, being joined at Newbern by the W. L. I. The rank ing line officer will be- in-command of the troops while en route. What makes it all the more neces sary that no hiilderance should be placed in. the way of the Company's goinginto camp is that the order says that the several companies comprising the regiment must attend camp with at least 75 per cent sf their muster rolls and that any company failing to do so will be liable to disbandment As the State makes no appropriation for rations or mess equipments, the W. L. I., at its meeting last night ap propriated $250 to defray their expen ses. " Capt. White will order very soon a a detail of threejnen under command of a non-commissioned officer, in com pliance with the order, to report to the Quartermaster on Thursday, July 13th, at Moreherd City. j Each company is allowed to take in to camp two musicians-or drummers, one caterer and two servants. U.S. REVENUE CUTTER On Duty at This Port Again Not Later Than Septem- J " ber First. WILL BE OF THE FIRST CLASS Cspt. Clark of the Revenue Service Arrived Yesterdsy His Statement of Situa tion Is Here to Snperintend Government Wharf Repairs. A member of the Star Staff was told yesterday by Capt. R. M. Clark, of the United States Revenue Cutter service, that a first class revenue cutter will be assigned and on duty at this port not later than September 1st, and very probably much sooner than that . Algonquin or Onondaga.' The government has, Capt. Cark says, positively decided to assign a first-class cutter to Wilmington, and it is reasonably certain that it will be either the Algonquin oe the Onon daga.. It is barely possible that either the Gresham or Maning may be sent here, but" Capt Clark does not think it at all probable. The Algonquin and Onondaga .are sister vessels and are both in Balti more undergoing extensive repairs and changes. As soon as this work is completed Capt. Clark says, the order will be issued for one or the other ( of them to proceed to Wilmington. Cutters Formerly Here. This coast has been without a reve nue cutter service since the Spanish American war, when the cutter Mor rill, then doing service here, was or dered to Cuban waters, where, under command of Capt J. R. Smith, she did distinguished service as an auxili ary to the North Atlantic squadron. The Colfax was here just prior to the Morrill. It will be of interest to note in this connection 'that Capt. Clark, in ex amining the old deeds of government property here, ascertained that a reve nue cutter was on duty at tnis port as far back as 1819. Rebuilding the Wharves. Captain 'Clark arrived in Wilming ton from his headquarters in Balti more yesterday to superintend" the re -building of the Government wharves The contract for this work has been let to John H. Howe, colored, and Captain Clark says tke work will very probably commence to-day. The old wharves will first be torn away. The timbers to be used for the new wharves will be much the same as those previously used. The contract requires that the new wharves shall be completed within ninety days. However, it is highly probable that the work will be finished much sooner than the time limit. Captain Clark will not spend the entire time.her, but will come and go as the work may require. He is stop ping at The Orton, and will be here on this trip for about a week. THE EQUALIZATION ' OF TAX VALUATIONS. Commissioners Heard Complaints and Re duced Numerous Tax Assessments Criminal Court Jurors.' The County Commissioners were in session a good portion .of yesterday hearing complaints, from real estate owners regarding tax assessments and reducing the assessments where they were constrained to believe that the valuation had been placed at too large a figure by the assessors.
