'- vy"-.A PASSINGOFALDERftlEN Present Board Held Its Farewell Monthly Business Meeting Last Night. AN 1 UNIMPORTANT SESSION. Members Have No Desire to Take Ad- vantire of Tecbalcalltles and Hold V Over Will Obviate All Posil bUIty of Coatasloa Te-nltht. The regular monthly , meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night was in the nature of a "farewell greeting." No new business of -importance waa proposed, and aa the chairmen of the committees made the usual routine re ports, each one sat down apparently with a sigh of relief. Just before ad journment the possibility of the pres ent Board'a holding over'aa the result of an irregular registration, waa sug gested, but there was no apparent dis position on the part of any onerto take advantage of the technicality. In fact, the Board evidenced a desire to remove alt possible doubt of the legal constitu tion of the incoming Board and there were severe! offers to resign forthwith and elect as their successors the nomi nees of the recent Democratic prima ries in the several wards. While such action was not deemed absolutely nec essary, City Attorney Bellamy gave his opinion that it would be on the safe side to do so, and read extracts from a letter from the Attorney General sup porting that position. Alderman Johnson said that he had conferred with Alderman-elect W. H. Yopp, of Third ward, in reference to the matter and the new Board would be glad of any action along the line suggested. Finally, upon motion of Mr. Johnson; it was agreed to hold a called meeting to-night, at which it is understood that all members of the old Board will resign and the new mem bers are requested to 'be present so as to qualify and be aworn in. They will then have all the prestige of the present Board and after to-morrow to that will be added the legality of their choice in to-day's election. Alderman O. L. Spencer, of . First ward, said he might not be able to be present to-night and asked that his resignation be accepted at once, aa It would not inconvenience the Board in any way. Mr. Spencer's resignation was accepted and upon motion of his colleague, Mr. . E. Murrell, Mr. J. A. Karr, the nominee of the primaries, was unanimously elected to succeed him. Mayor Waddell was not present at the meeting and Mayor pro tern. W. B. Cooper presided in his absence. The following members of the Board were in attendance: Messrs. Murrell, Spencer, Sweeney, VonGlahn, John son, Hashagen, Bailey, TTencken and Mann; Upon application of Mrs. E. P.

Chairman Cooper, I in reporting for the - committee,! said that as he was soon to leave the public service, he desired to say that his association with the department, especially with the Chief, had been very pleasant. Chief Schnibben. had made an excel. lent officer and, he desired to commend him. 1 " ' - Committee reports i were further called, but few of them had anything to report. .Chairman Johnson, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, said that he was sorry to say that he had been -unable to -erode Red ; Cross street, toward the colored' cemetery, aa the : Board ' had recommended. The Board of Audit and Finance had : decided to- employ no further carts outside .those regularly In the de partmentof streets and wharves and that had precluded' the possibility of accomplishing what he had hoped to do along that line. He submitted a written report to the effect that in ad dition to the ordinary street work, about 500 feet of drain pipe has been laid from near the James Walker Me morial HbspitalextendinS down the ravine east of the building, abating a nuisance which haa been very annoy ing to that community for tome time The work of laying the surfacr drain on Dock,- between Water and Fourth street, is progressing and la nearly half completed.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of County Comissloners, upon which all members were in at tendance, yesterday afternoon, prob ably the moat notable action waa the sale of a portion of the old Court House lot, at northwest corner of Third and Princess streets,-to Cape Fear Lodge No. 8, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the price paid having been $4,850. The portion of the lot purchased by the Odd Fellows extends 65 feet on Third and 80 feet onTPrincess street. Upon the site the Odd Fellows of the city wlllrect a handsome temple without unnecessary delay. Cape Fear. Lodge was represented at the sale by Messrs. W. L. Smith (chair man), W. H. Yopp, 8. Behrends and M.W. Jacobi, who with Mr. A. H. Creasy, constitute the Building Com mittee. The sale of the property is pursuant to and by authority of an act of the last General Assembly, the proceeds of the sale to go Into the sinking fund for the liquidation of the new Court House bonds. In response to advertisement in the city papers there were two bids as follows: - Herbert McClammy and Furney G. Gooding, who offered $3,750, and Cape Fear Lodge, I. O. O. F., which bid $4,156.50. After dis cussion, it was decided to reject both bids. The Odd Fellows then made a verbal offer of $4,350 for immediate conaummation and same was accepted, subject -to approval of the Board of Magiatrates, who have been called to meet in the Court House Thursday at noon. The general opinion Is that the property brought a good sum and it Is expected that the magistrates will ratify the sale without delay. The usual reports were read and ordered on file. That of Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, shows that during the month of April 114 patients were treated In the office and that 16 were treated at their homes. All the county Institutions were reported in good sanitary condi tion. There was one case of fever in the convict camp, but that waa brought in by a convict from another county.

Permit me through your paper to call the atten tion of all turpentine operators in your section to the fact that a new method of working turpentine forests haa been devised by the Forestry Division of the United. Statea Department of Ag riculture whereby the product of - a stated number of trees is doubled and at the aame time the number of hands required if nearly halved. The new method ia not expensive to install and will more than pay for itself out of the increased profits of the first sea son. Those who want to try this method should apply to the Depart ment of Agriculture In Washington for further information. The Depart ment will tend an expert free of charge to start the work.
