THE COUNTY TAX LEVY.;
Maflstrates Met Yesterday at Nqon and
Adopted Rate Aboot the Issuance '
. - i of Bonds for Connty Roads
The magistrates of the county met
at noon yesterday at the Court House,
do out pr 89 having answered to roll
calL Mr. C. W. Worth was made
chairman by acclamation and Chair
man D. McEschern, of the Board of
County Commissioners, by request
stated that the object of the meeting
was to pass upon the tax levy for the
current year as fixed by the commis
sioners. He then stated the action of
the Board in fixing the tax. levy at 45
cents per hundred dollars on real and
persona property and $L35 on the
poll. This, upon motion of Maj. W. H.
Bernard, was adopted, and by amend
ment of Capt Jno. H. Hanby, the
written report; of - Chairman Mo
Eaehern in detail was adopted and the
newspapers of the city requested to
publish the same, as follows:
The Board of County Commission
era of New Hanover recommend the
following tax levy : for the current
vear. . Pm. Pol. Ft "Raw
Gen'lfund.....23 69 $22,000
R'dsand br'ges.12 36 10,000
Hospital. 6 18 4,800
Sinking fund... 4 12 4,000
Total, 45 135 40,800
With this proviso that if the election
for good roads is decided in favor of
the bond issue, then in that event the
Commissioners are authorized to elim
inate the tax of 13 cents property and
36 poll tax and substitute therefor a
tax of 5 cents on property and 15
cents on poll as a special road sinking
and interest fund, making the total
tax for county for all purposes 38
cents on property and $1.14 on the
poll.
In connection with the bond issue
election, the act passed by the Legis
lature is mandatory upon the Com
missioners to order such an election,
which has been done.
As to the results thereof and its
effects, if decided against the issue
would mean the payment yearly of
sufficient taxes to continue, the road
work L e.. about $10,000 and even
this would not allow the work: to be
done in the most economy, as if de
cided in favor of the issue, the latter
would give available funds for work
ing a much larger force than we now
have or can maintain and they could
be worked under the supervision of
same, paid employes we now have.
which would 01 course reduce the net
cost of road material and an increased
force would enable us to keep the
machinery and quarry at work all the
time, whereas now we can only work
one at a time.
As to the economy of paying inte
rest, . the Treasurer has made arrange
ments. whereby interest will be paid
by the savings banks of this city , on
funds derived from said bonds while
same is on deposit
Although, if it is decided to issue
the bonds, the Commissioners will
carefully consider whether it is best to
sell the bonds at once or sell only as
funds are needed. 'This question is
merely a matter of calculation as to
whether the premium we would de
rive from sale of the bonds in one
block together with the interest (4
per cent) from the savings banks
would more than off set the saving 01
interest bv not issuing the bonds ex
cept as funds are needed.
We think the increased taxes de
rived- from property improvised by
building the roads will nearly or quite
pay the interest on the bonds.
Last year the levy was 46 1 cents on
personal property and 52 f on real
estate, with poll tax $t40. This year
the real and personal property levy is
made uniform and less than last year.
The poll levy is also less. The meet
ing adjourned sine die.
THE $50,000 BOND ISSUE.
Read This If Yon Are Interested in the
Bond Election.
Remember these facts: Unless you
register anew your vote will not count
either way in the bond election to be
held June 18th.
If you wish to vote for the issuance
of the bonds for county road improve
ment you must both register and vote.
If you are opposed to the" issu
ance of the bonds ($50,000) you
must register. Then your vote
will count against bonds, whether
polled or not It requires a majority
of the registered vote, not a majority
of the vote cast, to authorize the bond
issue. '
Do not overlook the fact that an
entirely new registration is required
for this special election.

It's a long lane that has no turning,
and the crook was certainly our way
yesterday, the Giants, with Vorhees
on the slab, having won from the
Shipbuilders ten to two. It would
have been a shut-out if Vorhees had
received the support in the ninth in
ning that his work merited. As it was,
with two men down, dumb playing
allowed two Shipbuilders to cross the
rubber and he was deprived of the
"akunk" that Ashenback had already
conceded by leaving the bench.
A phenomenal one-hand catch by
Devlin in right, a beautiful stop by
"Davy" at second,' Clayton's work at
short and Vorhees' fine pitching were
easily1 the features of the game.
In the first inning Deisel and Gilli
gan went out from Vorhees and Wed
dige got first on Warren's error and
third on Cranston's wild throw;
Foster went out from
the Giants, Clayton
second. For
singled and
sacrifice and
Crockett was
scored on Cranston's
Crockett's safe hit;
caught trying second
and Staf
ford went over third for two bags;
Sebring went put from the infield. In
the second the Shipbuilders would
haye scored on singles by Ash
enback and Curtis but for Deviln's
fast handling of Johnson's single to
right throwing, out Ashenback at
Vinmft rtlatn Onuin and TTAmnlnman"
ad fanned in the meantime. For the
Giants free passes were given Devlin
and McGinnis; Warren sacrificed and
on Vorhees' single, Devlin was caught
at home. A single by Clayton scored
Vorhees and McGinnis and. Clay ton
was caught at . home on Cranston's
single.
The third did not materialize a run
for the visitors and when the Giants
came up Ashenback relieved Johnson
in the box and High went to centre.
Crockett went out to first; Stafford
drew four balls; Sebring flew out to
right; Devlin singled; Warren walked
and the bases were full. Ashen
back went up in a balloon and
McGinnis walked forcing Stafford
home. Vorhees went out from third.
One, two, three order for the Ship
builders in the fourth and Clayton got
a pass; Cranston singled; "Davy'
climed the funeral pyre and Clayton
and Cranston scored on Stafford's two
bagger; Sebring caught one of Ashen
back's finest for two bags and Stafford
scored; Devlin hit to short and Sebring.
was caught going to third; Warren
flew out to center:
High and Deisel went out from the
infield in the fifth ; Gilligan got a two
base hit, but Weddige went out from
Clayton. The Giants then experi
enced their first inning without a
score andAhe sixth came on with an
outfromDayy"for Foster; a per
ambulation for Ash; a single by Os
tein and a force-out. by Hempleman
and an out from short by Curtis.
For Wilmington Cranston went out
from Jhird; Crockett singled; Stafford
got first on Deisel's error and on
Sebrings single, Crockett scored; Dev
lin was hit by pitcher and Warren
forced Clayton at home; Sebring
scored on a wild pitch and. McGinnis
went out to pitch. A Jtiogle by
High was all the Shipbuilders
got in' the seventh and the Giants
came up with Vorhees, out to pitcher,
and Clayton, out on pop foul to Fos
ter ; Cranston walked and Ashenback
made a beastly throw to first , upon
which Cranston scored. Ash got ex
cruciatingly 'funny then and with
Crocket at bat he threw a ball away up
over the fence. E. Gilligan at short
remonstrated with Ash for his reck
less humor at the expense of the team
and though the remonstration" must
have been very mild, Ashenback sent
him to the bench for "two or three
days," as he said, but Gilligan got his
effects and left the grounds, ostensibly
for home. He left on the - same train
with the team, however, last night.
When - Ash caught his " breath,
he allowed : Crockett to - walk
and Stafford flew but to right
Newport News and -Wilmington,
went out" in their order - in the
eighth and the ninth came up and
Hempleman fle w out to right and Cur
tis fanned. Then came a bunch of hits
by High. Deisel, Johnson and Wed
dige, which netted two runs after two
men were down. At ' least two of the
hits above could have, been cut off bad
the fast fielding Qf the eight previous
Innings been kept up. : Cranston ; be

The Giants played in their old
form. There was snap and ginger all
through the game.
If our boys play with Norfolk as
they played yesterday we ought to
make it wo out of three.
Give the boys a rousing reception
at the Park to-day to show that their
fine work of yesterday is appreciated.

Board was called to order. - The Clerk
read the original proposition of Mr.
Darby, offering, under conditions,
$10,000 for a franchise and a supple
mental proposition, giving the. city
the power to purchase the plant under
the same conditions as those offered
by the Wilmington Sewerage' Com
pany. Upon motion of Alderman
Harriss, the communication went - to
the Sewerage Committee. Mayor
Waddell then stated 'that in accord
ance with a written request of seven
members of the Board, he had called
the special meeting and now awaited
its pleasure.
Mr. West then raised the point of
order that Mr. Bailey's motion to re
consider the matter of approval of the
plans of the Wilmington Sewerage
Company was not in order, upon the
ground that he did not ask to have his
vote recorded in the affirmative at the
original meeting until after the vote
was announced, and upon the further
ground that the Board did not grant
him the right to so change. The rec
ords were appealed to, and in the ab
sence of objection at the time, the
Mayor did not sustain Mr. West
Mr. Johnson, then offered a resolu
tion, which contained the "milk in
tbe cocoanut," to the effect that the
Mayor and Superintendent of Health
be ordered to revoke their action in
granting a permit to the Wilmington
Sewerage Company to begin work on
its disposal plant in the extreme
northeastern section of the city, after
authority to grant permits for certain
excavations had been delegated to
these officials at Monday night's meet
ing. - v
Mayor pro-tem West was called to
the chair and Mayor Waddell made a
speech defending his position and that
of Dr. Harper. He traced the history
of the much-talked of excavation ordi
nance of a few weeks ago and of the
action of Monday night's meeting in
granting he and Dr. Harper the autho
rity, which they had exercised. The
excavations he said in the disposal
plant instance were not to dig for
sewerage or to hy pipes, but to con
struct a building a mile from the City
Hall and a half mile from all habita
tionto remove about two feet of
sand at a point beyond where the
vilest of city garbage is left by carts
in the city cleaning service. He went
on to say that before granting the per
mit, the Board of Health had been
called together as a safeguard and the
physicians and other members of same
had unanimously agreed that the pub
lic health would not be endangered by
the excavations asked for. If it was
the purpose of the Board to hold up
the work, for other than healthful In
terests or in the interests of another
sewer ape company, he gave the Board
warning that he washed his hands
dear of any. litigation , that would
follow an attempt of that character.
Tbe Mayor concluded by saying, he
considered the resolution a rebuke
and one which he could not ignore,
hence his plain-spoken statemens.
A motion was' then made that -the
Mayor's action -be endorsed, but -the
vote stood five to five. Messrs. Bailey,
Johnson,-Mann, Harriss and Von
Glahn . voting nay. The Mayor
refused to cast the deciding vote on
a question pertaiainar to himself -and
a second vote was called for by Mr.
Maunder with no change of result
Alderman Johnson then offered a
resolution emphasizing the importance
of a sanitary sewerage system and pro
viding for a submission of the ques
tion of municipal ownership of a plant
to a popular vote of the city. The
resolution was put, to the meeting and
a five to five vote resulted, the ; Mayor
voting nay and explaining his action in
ao doings j'
; 4 vote was then called upon - the
original motion of Mr. Johnson in
regard to the disposal plant, but after
some further discussion, the motion
was withdrawn. ,
Alderman Bailey then moved that
his motion to reconsider the approval
of the plans of the Wilmington Sewer
age Company be deferred -.until the
next, meeting and it was sq ordered. .
; Mr. Darby then addressed the Board
at some length upon his proposition
for. the establishment of a system and
was'-followed by Hon. Jno. D. Bel
lamy, eounBel for the Wilmington
Sewerage Ckmpany M f Bellamy
was followed by Brooke G. Empie,
Esq., counsel . for Mr. " Darby, and
upon the . conclusion of his remarks,
Mr. Bailey moved that a Sewerage
Commission be appointed and com
posed of two Aldermen, one member
otthe Audit' and Finance Board, one
citizen, a member of neither, board,,
and . a fifth member of - the oommis
sion to be hosen by the . four other
members and to be a sanitary: engi
