City and County Will Likely Ap propriate $6,000 to Furnish the Institution. i JOINT MEETING YESTERDAY. Boars' of Commissioners. Aldermes and Managers of James Walker Memorial Building la Conference Meet 11 of MagUtrates.- As the result of a conference yester day afternoon between the boards of County Commissioners, Aldermen and Hosnital Managers an arrange ment was partially effected by which the city and county will most probably make special joint and pro rata appro priations amounting to $6,000 for furn ishing the splendid James Walker Memorial Hospital, which was recent ly completed and given to the people by Mr. James Walker at a cost of more than $50,000. When the late Mr. Walker made known his purpose to establish the magnificent memorial which now bears his name, he authorized Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy to summon a number of representative citizens of Wilming ton to meet at . his office. At this meeting Mr. Walker outlined the plan of his proposed philanthropy to the large number of gentlemen who gath ered, and one of the conditions to his magnanimous gift was that the people, after he had completed the building, should equip and maintain the insti tution. For the maintenance of the hospital the legislative act in corporating the Board of Managers provided in the required payment by the county of $4,800 and by the city of $3,200 per year for this purpose. But unfortunately no provision was made for .the equipment of the build ing. For several months, however, the Board of Managers set about to raise a sufficient amount by private subscriptions. Experts figured closely the cost of an equipment suitable to the magnificent building and it was found that $6,000 would be the very least needed. Despite moat faithful personal efforts by several members of the Board only about $3,500 could be secured by popular gift and the task was abandoned. ' At the sugges tion of many who had been approached for subscriptions and with a feeling that there was justness in the propo sition for a whole people to pay for a benefit which would be derived by a whole people, it was decided to ask the city and county to make an extra ap propriation out of their public funds to meet the cost of equipment in the same proportion as the two con tributed to the maintenance of the hospital, L e., two-fifths or $3,400 by the city and three-fifths or $3,600 by the county. In this way every citi zen wouia oe a contnoutor 10 ine cause and would enjoy accordingly all the benefits of such an institution in their midst. To get the matter in proper shape, at the request of the Hospital Managers the boards of Aldermen and Commis sioners held a joint conference yester day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock with the hospital authorities in the county court room. Capt Walter Q. Mac- Rae acted as chairman of the meeting by request and the following members of the three boards were present: Mayor Waddell,Chairman McEachern, of the Board of Commissioners, Coun ty Attorney McKoy.City Attorney Bel lamy, Dr. Thomas B. Little, hospital superintendent. Commissioners Vol- lers, Montgomery and Alexander; Aldermen Harriss, Maunder, Skinner, Johnson and Spencer, Messrs. W. Gr. MacRae, Sam Bear, Jr., D. O. Love, W. H, Sprunt, M. a Willard and O. P. Bolles, Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy, of the Hospital Board, and Mr. H. C. McQueen, chairman of the City Board of Audit and Finance. Capt Walter MacRae, in calling the meeting to order, briefly stated the ob ject. Six thousand dollars was the least amount that would be sufficient in the opinion of Dr. Q. G. Thomas, who had just completed furnishing the splendid A. C. L. hospital at Rocky Mount, and Dr. Little, who has had wide experience in hospital work. Capt. MacRae detailed the work of the efforts of his Board to raise the money by private subscription: The grounds could not be improved out of the $6,000, but other provision would be made by the managers for that He said that with good management and proper attention he believed toe hospital would soon be self-sustaining. j an appropriation was received from mnnidnavlities the $3,500 sub- scribed by citizens would not be asked as they would contribute their pro rata in taxes. Mr. Sam 'Bear, Jr., who has been very active in his efforts to secure the amount necessary by private scbscrip- tinn. noke alonff the same line asd detailed the work by the managers in this regard. He was also of the opin ion that in a few years endowments would make the institution self-sus taining. Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy recalled; tne promise to Mr. Walker by the repre sentative citizens wbo baa gatnerea in m . a a a the deceased philanthrptst's office when he made known his purpose to the hospital. Faith should not --- ha broken now. Chairman McEachern of the Board nt rsommissioners, said he thougnt nr. Walker's idea of the furnishing ... for representative citizens inoi idually to subscribe to tne fund. He questioned the legality of any appro priation that the county might make. and quoted irom ww duties of Commissioners. He was in fat ranoatby with the movement, but knew the county authorities were WILMINGTON, N.-C., TUESDAY, DECEMBER unwilling to overstep the law. Another reasonagainst appropriation was that the budget for the- year's county expenses had been made up, and no funds are now available. The money could be borrowed but first the magistrates of the county would have to say, whether or not they would ap prove of an additional tax levy next year to meet the loan. If there were no legal objections in the way, he would be glad to call the magistrates together and arrange for -the negotia tion of a loan. Mayor Waddell caid as for the city be bad much the- same statement to make as Mr. McEachern. The Al dermen could make no disbursements without concurrence of the Board of Audit and Finance ; the chairman of that body, who was present, could speak as to that. There were no funds available now and the negotiation of a loan, would have to pass the Finance Board. Personally he was greatly in sympathy with the movement. He also discussed the legal status of the case, and although he could not satis-. fy himself ihar such a proceeding would be strictly legal, he felt no ap prehension that anyone would ques tion it. Chairman - McQueen, of the City Board of Audit and Finance, said he was heartily in sympathy with the ap peal and he thought he voiced the sen timent of his entire Board in saying that it would approve of the appro priation if it were made by the Alder men. He said he was not qualified to speak absolutely as to the legality of the appropriation, but that the city had sent money to Galveston and he thought there was as much law for appropriating to the hospital as for that purpose. He did not believe that the legality would be questioned. Alderman Harriss spoke in favor of the appropriation and Mayor Waddell said as there were just half of the Board of Aldermen present if all the five members were in favor of the ap propriation be would cast a deciding vote in favor of the appropriation if it was necessary at next meeting. Messrs. Skinner, Maunder, Spencer and Johnson said they would heartily vote for the measure. Chairman McEachern then said he would call a meeting of the magis trates as soon as possible and ascertain if they would agree to an additional tax levy next June to meet a loan to ba negotiated now. Capt. MacRae said all that was wanted was an assurance from the two Boards. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Lit tle were going North in a few days and if there was money in sight they could make the purchase. It was then agreed to call another. meeting of the three boards after the magistrates had passed upon the mat ter and take the decisive action. The meeting then adjourned.

HOULTRYMEN ELECTED OFFICERS.' Mr. W1H Bonitz Will be Superintendent of Show in January Annual Meeting. The second annual. meeting of the Wilmington Poultry and Live Stock Association was held last night and was attended by much enthusiasm. The principal business transacted. other than a liberal discussion of the forthcoming poultry show in January, under the auspices of the organiza tion, was the election of officers for the ensuing year, which resulted in the choosing of the same officers, as follows: President E. P. Bailey. Vice President A. O. 8need. Secretary and Treasurer W. C. Armstrong. Assistant Secretary W. H. Mc Eachern. Mr. Will Bonitz was elected super intendent of the poultry show. - No better man for the position could be found. His heart is in the work and he is energetic beyond peradventure. Interest in the show is on the in crease and outside fanciers are writ ing for space for exhibits. The local owners are also getting in trim to meet outside competition in fine birds and will no doubt capture at least a few of the prizes. A competent judge out side of Wilmington will be secured to pass upon the exhibits. JOLLY "TARS" ELECTED OFFICERS. Annual Meeting of Naval Reserves Last Night Proposed Trip to Charleston.
