No Actios Ia Matter of Superintendent of Heilth-Conf erence Will Be Held To day Conaty Soad Work The: ' Masoaboro Road. V j I Matters : principally routine and. therefore of little interest to the public came up before the Board of County Commissioners in an adjourned month ly session, which convened yesterday morning at 11 o'clock and continued until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It was expected that the matter of concurrence in the action of the Board of Aldermen Monday night relative to the election of a superintendent of health and visiting physician would come up -at this meeting, but upon the reading of one application it was decided to leave the matter open . for a conference this morning or this after noon. It is learned unofficially, and' therefore unauthoritatively, that the Commissioners do not favor the action of the Aldermen with respect to this matter, and if the- information proves correct, many complications will neces- sirily arise, which will probably re quire several days for settlement At the meeting yesterday morning Chairman McEachern presided and the o.her two members of the Board, Messrs. Holmes and Alexander, were in attendance. The register of deeds reported the issuance of 87 marriage licenses during the month of April and the payment to the county treasurer of $37, less $1.85 commissions. Col. Jno. D. Taylor, clerk of the Superior Court, reported having paid to the county treasurer for the school fund 50 received in charter fees from the Atlantic Manufacturing Company and the Northrop Lumber Company. Dr. W. D. McMillan, the county superintendent of health, reported having treated 173 patients in the office and having made 148 visits to 98 patients at their homes. The jail was reported in as good sanitary condition as can be with the present plumbing arrangement. The County Home was reported as well kept and the inmates comfortable. There has been one case of fever at the home during the month and two deaths have occurred, one of which was from exhaustion (insane) and one from softening of the brain. It was reported that sickness (la grippe and measles) had been prevalent to some extent among the poor during the month. County Road Improvement. The agreement with Mr. T. A. Wat son relative to the matter of removing the rock for road work from the A. O. L.j railroad to points on the" Holly Shelter road as far as the four mile DOBt at 25 cents per ton, was submitted. approved and ordered on file, i It will be remembered that the contract was awarded at the last meeting of the board and the matter of drawing up the agreement referred to the chair man. The contract stipulates that the agreement is for the removal of not less than 1,000 to as, nor more than 6,- 000 tons of rock. The Commis sioners in lieu of bond for the faithful performance of the con tract are permitted to reserve 33 per centof the amount due for the. service until tbe agreement is com pleted. In case contractor does not furnish force to remove rock sufficient ly fast he shall be given forty-eight hours notice to increase same and on his failure thereafter to comply with such demand he shall be liable to the Commissioners for the loss sustained. In this connection it is well to note that Mr. Watson is already in the per formance af his duties and that Capt. Barry has used nine car loads of the rock recently purchased from the Hanover Land and Improvement Co., and has improved that section on the Holly Shelter road , between the rail road crossing and Smith Creek's bridge. The convict force now numbers about 22 men and some very good work has been done. Capt. Barry tells the Stab that the entire stretch of the Holly Shelter road is prepared for the top dressing of the rock and that the hands are using it as fast as it can be deliver ed. I Matters of Minor Moment. Mr. W. M. Hansely was appointed to survey certain lands in Cape Fear township for Mr. B. A. Carter. Mr. Sam'l Hall made application for the noaition of - superintendent or county roads, but as that position is already filled the application was ordered on file. fianL John H. Hanby presented his resignation as a member of the Board of County Tax Assessors. I he same was accepted, but a successor was not named. A communication from the cashier of the Bank of Fayetteville giving a list of stockholders in that institution who reside in Wilmington,, was read and ordered on file for probable future i use. j. Condition of Mtsonboro Road. A communication was read from Dr. W. W. Harriss and others asking for the improvement of the road leading through Harnett to Masonboro town Mn. and the same waa referred to the road superintendent with request to investigate and report on the sameai the next meeting. Dr. Harriss stated in this communication that that sec tion of the road from the second toll house to the Seacoast railroad crossing and through the "savannah" for a distance of about three quarters ox a mile in wet weather Is almost impas MATTERS RIB WILMINGTONv N; O., WEBNESD!aY, MAY 9, 1900. sable and in lry seasons heavy and bad. At a point on the road pleading to Mr. Mumford's house in Masonboro township a section was previously but imperfectly covered with shell. "A distance of about one fourth of a mile, he states, needs repairing and re-covering. It was cited that this road, is the only outlet for residents of Masonboro to the city and also for the occupants of the ' cottages there, many of which are now unoccu pied for the reasons stated above. Property he stated would enhance in value with the desired ' improvement and new building would te done, thereby increasing the tax valuation of property. One of the first matters taken up was the adoption of a suitable me morialto the memory of Col. Roger Moore, late chairman of the board. It was resolved unanimously that the entrance of the commissioner's room be draped in mourning'' for thirty -days and a copy of the memorial inscribed on the record book and another fur nished to the family of the deceased.
