Adioaraed Ustll Friday. Matters regarding the tax assessment and the awarding of the contract for the rebuilding of brdges across Hewlett and Whiskey creeks, were the princi pal things to engage the Board of County Commissioners at an adjourn ed meeting held yesterday afternoon. There were in attendance upon the meeting CoL R oger Moore, Chairman, and Commissioners Alexander and Holmes. A rebate of one half per cent was allowed Junius Davis, Esq., on $2,500 assessment on yearly income, the amount appearing to be on income other than salaries and fees by error in computation. In the matter of the Brunswick Bridge and Ferry Company, left over from Monday's session, it was ordered that the Sheriff list against the com- pauy $1,200 in real estate for the past five years in lieu of delinquent tax listed against them for 1899. Mr. W. M. Hansley was appointed to survey certain lands in Harnett township for Mr. G. B- Bellois. An abatement of $5,000 was allowed on the tax assessment of the capital stock of the Johnson Dry Goods Com pany. Applications of Mr. F. A. Lord and others on Wrightsville Beach and of Mr. H. C. McQueen and others on Carolina Beach for relief in matter of taxes on property destroyed in the recent storm was refused. The senti ment of the board was that while property owners had the sympathy of members, the board had no legal right to abate any of the taxation. Bids for repairing and rebuilding bridges over Hewlett's and Whiskey creeks, which were swept away by floods incident to last week's storm. ere opened and the contract awarded to Mr. A. G. Call at $80 for each bridge, contractor to have privilege of the use of all sound material in old bridges and to furnish new material necessary to completion ; to fill 'a but tresses and raise embankment with earth according to specification of Capt Barry, the road superintendent; the same to be completed in fifteen days. Other bidders for the contract were Frank Thomas, who offered to make repairs to, the two bridges. exclusive of furnishing material and F. C. Sadgwar, Sr., who offered to repair the Hewlett bridge for $75, the county to furnish 11 materials including lumber and hardware. Reduction in valuation of real estate for taxation was refused to Messrs. Geo E. Burnett Edward Broadus, heirs of Louis Hollingsworth, Louisa Reaveaand Francis Starkeley; all of whom applied for reduction. An application from Messrs. J. W. Norwood, Franklin McNeill, M J. Heyer, E K. Calder, D. L Gore, P. L. Bridgers, J no. D. Bellamy and N. B. Rankin, Wilmington shareholders in the Blue Ridge National Bank, of Asheville, N.C-, asking for a reduction in tax valuation of stock, was not granted, upon the ground that the same had been entered upon the books as re ceived from the State Auditor. The shareholders based their argument on the ground that Wilmington National Bank stock was assessed at 75 per cent on surplus accounts and paid in capi tal, while their stock in the Asheville institution was assessed at itsypaid in capital. They also took the position that Wilmington and Buncombe coun ty made assessments on the same stock last year at only 75 per cent of the surplus and paid in capital. An adjournment was taken late in the afternon until next Friday at 3.30 o'clock P. M. CAPTAIN BUCK'S RETIREMENT. Hss Resigned As Master of Steaser Hswes. Succeeded by Capt J. C. Smith. CaDt D. J. Black, master of the steamer E. A. Hatoes, and one of the best known and most popular steam boatmen on the river, yesterday re signet! his position with the Cape Fear River Transportation Company, owners of the Hatoes, and will engage in other business. Cant Black is succeeded by Capt James C. Smith, formerly of Wilr mington and master of the steamer Comoton, but now of Fayetteville. He went up Black Rirer on his initial trip yesterday. It will be only with feelings or deepest regret that shippers along the river and his host of mends will hear of Captain Black's retirement He has been on the river the position from which he resigned yesterday for seventeen consecutive years, and daring that period a seri ous accident has never befallen a boat in his charee nor has there been a single employe or passenger drowned from a deck of one of his vessels. Though Capt Black does not make any announcement of his future plans, it is intimated by a number of his personal friends that he will soon be in charge of another boat, which will cater to the Black river trade. Capt Smith needs no introduction to the shippers and citizens, along the lower Cape Fear. His obliging man ners and capable business management have always made him a favorite with river people, and his appointment to succeed Capt Black is a good one.
