MORE PAY FOR EMPLOYES. Fireaaet an Street Workers Will Re ceive a merited Iacrease Tax Rate . Wffl Doubtless be Scaled from v to 51,50 Notes. That the two co-ordinate branches of the city government will dwell to gether in peace and unity under tire Present administration an end earn estly desired by the citizens at large was evidenced last nignf by a harmo nious conference over financial affairs between both the Board of Audit and Finance and the Board of Aldermen. all members of each body having been present. The meeting was held in the rooms of the Audit and Finance Board and was entirely Informal in its character. Chairman H. a McQueen presided and others present were Mayor Wil liam E. Springer, Messrs. a W. Yates. Jesse Wilder.8. P.McNair and J. A.Or- rell, of the Finance Board, and Messrs. E. MurrelL J. A. Karr, P. Q. Moore, Jno. H. 8weeney, W. H. Yonp, 8. Behrends,W. K.Yopp,F. E. Haahagen, M. G.Tieneken and Walter P. Gafford, of the Board of Aldermen. The pur pose of the meeting was to discuss the budget of expenses of the city for the fiscal year beginning June 1st, and in cidentally the tax rate, thus obviating the necessity of each Board's having to refer back and forth to one another until an agreement is reached. It was again agreed at the confer ence, in the light of present informa tion as to probable revenue, to reduce the real and personal property rate of taxation from 1L60 to $1.50 per one hundred dollars, valuation. This ac tion, however, will not become official until both Boards shall have ratified the result of the conference. The question of salaries consumed a arge portion of the discussion, which as ted until after 11 o'clock. The em ployes of the dty are to be congratu lated that members of the conference reposed such confidence in their effi ciency that no salaries were reduced. On the other hand, the fire and street departments received a very handsome little testimonial In an Increase. Fifteen men on the street force and nine In the sanitary department, who formerly received $1.00 per day, were Increased to $1,121 per day. and a foreman of the street force was dis pensed with. In the fire department It was agreed to increase the salary of the Assistant Chief from $720 per year to $780; two foremen of stations who formerly re ceived $15 per month, were given $47.50; Engineer Russell; at Engine Co. No. 1, was allowed $47.50 and $3.00 extra for. repairing hose, and 26 firemen were increased from $37.50 to $40 per month. The superintend ent of fire alarm, who is also a fire man, was given $10 per month extra for his services as superintendent of the alarm. The conference might have gone a step further and ingratiated Itself In the publle favor by giving the police men a "lift," but that may come later. There was an effort to Increase the salaries of the chiefs of both the police and fire departments $W- per year each, but in the light of the revenue in sight, these increases were . elimi nated. The meeting last night was per fectly . harmonious and an earnest of . m w an economical ana saie Business ad ministration. WILL ENFORCE SPITTINQ ORDINANCE. laitrsctlla to Ibe Pollcemei to Carry 0st the Law to the Letter. Frequently of late the Inquiry has been heard on the Streets "What's be come of the anti spittln' ordinance!" The query was often prompted by the apparent utter disregard of the law by the public. Many are laboring under the impression that the law Is dead, but the careless citizen will find, it very much alive if he attempts a violation in the presence of a policeman this morning. Bv instruction of Mayor Springer, Chief of Police Furlong last night summoned the men of the force before him and arave orders that in the future they would be expected to enforce the anti-spitting ordinance to the letter. The regulation is still In force and is Sec. 17, Article XIV, of the Ordinances of the City of Wilmington, which reads as follows: "That it shall-be unlawful for any person to expectorate upon the side walks or street crossings or tne city. Any person violating this ordinance shall be fined $5 for each offence."
