Well Known Architect Says Pros pect Was Never Brighter for Wilmington. PERHAPS ANOTHER HOTEL. Brief Resume of What Is Bel nr. Done aid What Is la Contemplttloa la the Bnslsess District Another Wharf Enterprise Note&v "Ibis Spring and Bummer,", said well known supervising architect yes terday, "we are going to have an era of building in Wilmington that has scarcely been paralleled in the history of the city. -. "The buildings are going to be prin eipally dowjiJtawjnAniL all althaea will be handsome structures. A num ber of fine residences are also in con templation and I don't know of an architect in the- city who hasn't his hands fulL In my own office, I hare had to employ outside help to keep up with orders for plans and specifics tlons. pf course all the architects are bound by the ethics of their pro fession to keep quiet a ' while, but it will all come out in time and Wil mingion will have in process or con struction in a few months, perhaps, more handsome buildings than any other city of its sixe in the South." The architect referred to, without the least hesitation, went on to take a most roseate riew of the situation and to congratulate Wilmington upon the way in which its capital had thrown off Its timidity and was willing to enter Into thejbuildlng up of the city Indus trially. Among the projects said to be on foot is another modern hotel in the heart of the city and the plans for the same are expected to materialize with in the next few weeks. This Is in ad dition to the handsome Summer and Winter resort hotel that is expected to be established at the Hammocks on Wrightsrille beach, reference to which was made in these columns a few days ago. - rWork is progressing upon the splen did club building of the Howard Be lief Company at .northeast corner of Front and Orange streets, and thel work of replacing the Vollers build ing, destroyed by-fire on Front street a few weeks ago, is also under way. The latter will ba a solid marble front and will make one of the prettiest and most eligibly located business houses in the city. A gentleman well quali fied to know says that the front of the new building alone will cost more than the entire store that was burned. Another building that will be an ornament to the city at no distant date will be the handsome banking house of the Wilmington Savings and Trust Co. A committee is still at work try ing to purchase a suitable lot and when this is completed the matter of build ing will be a question of only a short time. Still another down-town structure that is expected to be well under way before Fall Is an Odd Fellows' build ing. This step has been under consid eration for some time by the Odd Fel lows and while no Information is given out officially. It is regarded generally as quite probable that the building will occupy the northeast corner of Third and Princess streets, the last Legislature having passed a new act authorising the County Commission ers to sell that property. Other buildings In contemplation are new stores for Messrs. J. tL Behder & Co., and Geo, O. Gaylord, on North Front, between Chesnut and Grace streets. A handsome mercantile structure not heretofore mentioned is one that it is understood .will be built by Mrs. Elizabeth Vollers on the lot recently purchased by her on Walnut, between Front and Nutt streets. A force of hands under the superrision of Archi tect H.E.Bonltz yesterday went to work removing the old machinery from the site, the same having been sold to the Wilmington Iron Works. This week the old brick smoke stack on the premises will be removed, and, al though no information la given, it is pretty well understood that the work is preparatory to building. - There are also other projects on foot which cannot be mentioned now without the violation of a confidence. Some Trnckla j Items. From the Duplin Journal of this week the following items of interest to truckers are taken: "Mr. J. CL Miller shipped the first asparagus of the season on Monday, March . 16th. The cabbage have recovered from the cold they took two weeks ago and are looking fine now. Our onion shippers still have the boards at the warehouses this week, and the air Is full of garlic The first onions were shipped just one week ago by Mr. George Cooper and. sold at $3.50 a crate. Mr. F. Gibbons West- brook, manager of the Armour Ice houses, has nuea the ice nouses or this company from Mount Olive to Wallace and left for Chad bourn Tuesday to fill the ice house there.

He has contended, and still con tends, that they are not Dronerlv re stored,; regardless of your aspersion as to the competency. And although, "Mr. Percy Canady may hare per formed his duties according to your instructions, and to your satisfaction," the results are not satisfactory to the people who pay taxes to maintain the municipality of Wilmington, and who derlre as much pleasure in driving around the city at present as they would upon a Corduroy Road, and with due respect to your competency, which cannot be questioned, the writer from an engineering point of view, must differ with you. ' We beg further to say that personal allusions in connection with this mat ter were unnecessary. Regarding your statement as to imperfect work done by the Wilmington Iron Works, we beg to say that the restoration of the streets referred to was done under the supervision of the Superintendent of Streets of the City of Wilmington, and that the Wilmington Iron Works paid for the service, and the work was done during a previous administration, with which the writer was not con nected. The Wilmington Iron Works has not done work on the streets that' you referred to under the direction of any committee, and the Wilmington Iron Works stands ready always to properly restore the streets after any excavations made by them or their employes. In our last interview regarding this matter, I believe that you stated in substance that you would not be placed in such a position again. Fully appreciating your interest in Wilming ton and its people, and feeling that you hare done from a sense of duty that which was Imposed upon you, I am, sincerely yours, B. P. Bailet. DIED.
