Contracts Awarded for Pest Houses and Repairs toJClty Prison Police and Healtk Officers Elected Re i ports ApproTed. Routine business consumed a great er portion of the time at the regular meetinsr of the Board of Aldermeu yesterday afternoon. All the mem bers were present except Aldermen Worth and MacRae, the latter being absent from the city. The action of the Market Committee in lengthening the time for keeping open the Front street market house in compliance with request of several butchers was approved. Special policeman Frank George was elected upon motion of Alderman Springer to a permanent position on the force, all members voting in the affirmative except Aldermen Taylor and Montgomery, who supported spe cial policeman E. L. Smith. The City Pest House. Alderman Hanby, chairman of the Building Committee, exhibited plans for the pest houses and houses of de tention, for which an appropriation was made at the beginning of the fis cal year. The buildings will be five in number and located on the four acre lot donated by the county for this purpose some time azo. The houses will be situated a convenient distance aparj and the lot will be enclosed by a substantial fence of 208 panels. Bids for the building were submit ted as follows: W.H. Sharp, $880, and $1.20 for each panel of fence. Thad F. Tyler, $948 for the five houses and necessary fencing. As the bid of Mr. Sharp exceeded the $1,000 appropria tion for this purpose, it was not con sidered and the award was to Mr. Taylor. Guard House Improvement Alderman Hanby also exhibited plans for the remodelling of the city prison to the extent allowed by the board, which was considerably less elaborate than at first was contem plated. The present quarters are to be used for co ored prisoners and the basement under the northwest corner of the City Hall is to be fitted with wooden cells for white persons with separate apartments for males and females. The contract for building and plumbing was awarded to Mr. G. M. Summerell for $657 $382 for con struction and $275 for plumbing. The other bid was by Mr. Thad P. Tyler; $393.64 for construction and $373.55 for plumbing. The total of Mr. Ty lers bid is $667.19. Alderman Taylor, chairman of the Street and Wharves Committee, asked for a formal appropriation of $488 for three mules recently purchased for the street cleaning department. It was given. The money received for mules unfit for the service has been paid into the treasury. Jurisdiction of Chiefs Defined Alderman Taylor, chairman of the Fire Committee, reported the discharge and suspension of several firemen for drunkenness. This evoked a long dis cussion as to the jurisdiction of the Chief of the Fire Department and in c identally as to . the powers of the Chief of Police along this line. May or Waddell stated that as chief executive of the city, he thought this power was delegated to himself exclusively and that he would exercise it unless relieved by the Board of Aldermen. Of course his rulings are appealable to committees and to the board. Alderman Taylor argued that the chief of the lire de partment had the right to suspend temp&rarily, and that it was right that such should be the case for discipline's sake. Alderman Taylor moved that it was the sense of the board that the chief of the fire department and the chief of police be iven the power to sus pend their men for misconduct as a measure of discipline. Alderman Springer offered an amendment to this motion that the power of suspension be delegated to the Mayor. Alderman Taylor refused to accept the amendment, and further discus sion ensued. Alderman Taylor at length amended his first motion giving the chiefs power to suspend for twenty four hours, their actions in such cases to te reported to the Mayor within that time. The motion was unanimously carried. Alderman Springer then moved the permanent discharge of five firemen of F.ngine Company No. 1, for con tinued drunkenness and insubordina tion. Alderman Hanby seconded the motion and it was unanimously car ried. One of the members had already been discharged by the chief and the others had been suspended for several dFifty dollars was appropriated by the Board to defray the expenses of Assistant Chief of the Fire Depart ment W. P. Monroe to the Interna tional Association of Fire Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs, which meets at Syracuse, N. Y.. August 23 25, in clusive. All the members voted for the appropriation except Alderman Parker, who declared that it was a poor investment. A letter was read from President James D. McNeill formally accept ing the invitation of the board to have the State Firemen Association meet in Wilmington in 1900. Mr. E- Hewlett was unanimously The I . 3 ... oioovea a nealtti inspector to succeed inspector Bowden, resigned. An in vitation was read from Mr. R P . Paddison fwking the presence of the Mayor and members of the board at the celebration of the Moore's Creek Monumental Association on August 17th. Communications were referred to the various committees as follows: Pay for four days time lost by acci-. dent to Fireman A .M. Williams; for rent of dock' near his factory by Capt. Preston Cummings; to have gutter lowered on west side of Second be tween Dock and Orange streets and to ditch alley between Front and Second streets so as to prevent water from running over the property of Messrs.

Blake; to re duce tax on auctioneers from $60 per year to $15 per year to correspond with State and county license ; to re pair filthy and unsanitary condition of Campbell bstween Second ani J"hird streets. Application for license' to retail liquor at 310 Nutt street (Dahnhardt's old stand) by T. J. Sykes, was refused. City Attorney Meares' opinion with reference to the opening of Dock street between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets was read. The opinion says that as the Kidder estate refuses to dedicate the property for this purpose the Board would either have to con demn and pay for the property or ac quire it by purchase. A special com mittee composed of Aldermen Hanby, Springer and Parker was appointed to further investigate the matter, Mr. Geo. Irving, city cattle weigher; reported having weighed 328 animals and payment to the treasurer of $19.20 for the month. Reports of the fire, police and health departments were read and approved.

Bryan, Esq., presented a bill amounting to $434.35, alleged dam age to his property on Ann between Front and Second streets by reason of failure of the city to provide proper street drainage. Payment was de clined upon motion of Alderman Tay lor and second by Alderman Parker. A building permit from Mr. F. G. Prunke was referred to the Fire Com mute.
