The 17th annual meeting of the Wil mington Homestead and Loan Asso ciation was held last night at the City Hall. Mr. M. W. Divine was called to the chair and Mr. C. O. Brown was present in his official capacity as sec retary. "A committee appointed to verify proxies, consisting of Messrs. J. O. Stevenson, O. C Brown and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, reported that a majority of the stock was represent ed, whereupon the meeting was de clared duly organized for business. The v president and secretary and treasurer submitted their annual re ports which were "highly gratifying to the stockholders. That of the secre tary and treasurer showed an invest ment of $70,738.79 In real estate and on other security $6,239.50. The old Board of Directors wasunan- mously re-elected as follows: J. 0. Stevenson, J, G. Barrentine, W. O. Peterson, O. W. Polvogt, H. O. Mc Queen, Wm. Goodman, O. M. Fillyaw, J. H. Hardin, M. W. Divine. J. Hicks Bunting, and C. 0. Brown. The Directors will meet later and elect officers for the ensuing year. . An amendment to the constitution of the Association was adopted, chang- ng the. date of the annual meetings from the first Tuesday in June to the third Tuesday in January of each year. The report of the president was as follows: To the Stockholders of the Wilming ton Homestead and Loan Associa tion: I wish to call your attention to the annual report, which presents for your consideration, matters of unusual nterest. It shows a steady, healthy and substantial growth, of the oldest institution of its kind in the city. In comparison " with last year, there has been an increase of 12 per cent, in the number of . shares; of 30 per cent. In the total amount of shares and 8 per cent, in the membership. It has been nearly seventeen years since the organization; during which period there nas not been the loss or a dollar, of any invested funds, not withstanding the many financial eartn- quakes during that period, and there has never been a time when we could not supply all worthy applicants for oans. To your directors is due the honor of having contributed to the largest degree, tothis unprecedented- condi tion, uur- experience is iimuea, oui we have never before known or heard of a parallel. Dunns the existence of the Associa tion nine series have matured, "paying to its stockholders handsome returns, and the number of houiss built would make a considerable town ln Itself. Many families are now revelling in the luxury of a home, because of the benencient working or this Associa tion, when ln no other way could they have owned one. The tenth series is now prepared to pay its stockholders $100.64, showing profit of $19.29 ln 825 weeks or 74 per cent, on a net Investment for the time of S40.63. Bearine in mind that the Association pays all the taxes, we ask, where can money be better in vesica i If safety and profits are desirable, we believe that this Association oners unusual opportunity. The borrower pays only 6 per cent, on what ne gets, and participates in the profits, which reduces his interest to 4 per cent. The investor not only gets 7 per cent. net for his money but can withdraw same at any time as easy as from any other financial Institution. Any offi cer or director will gladly explain fur ther to any prospective investor. Uespectruliy submitted, -J. O. Stevehsoh,' President.

MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS. Badf et of Expenses aad License Tax Rej a- lations Adopted as They Came from - Board of Aldermea With SUfhl Cissies Other Notes. The Board of Audit and Finance of the city wm in session last night until nearly 12 o'clock, disposing of the routine business and passing upon va rious matters that came over from the meeting of the Aldermen the night pre vious. In the absence of Chairman H. O. McQueen, Mr. t. W. Yates pre sided and members in attendance were Messrs. & P. McNair, Jesse Wilder and J. A. Orrell. Aldermen W. H. Yopp, W. E. Yopp, F. E. Hashagen, B. Behrends, P. Q. Moore, Jno. H. Sweeney, and others were aiso present during, a portion or the meeting. Mayor Springer was In at tendance and was invited to sit inside the lnclosure. The award of contracts for city sup plies was first taken up and the Kit son lighting proposition accepted by the Aldermen Monday night to sup plant the arc lighting was explained by Mr. Jno. B. Turrentine, Jr., of the Turrentine Light Co. The acceptance of the proposition entails an Invest ment for lamps of $10,625 and the Board decided best to defer final ac tion for further information. Herbert McCIammy, Esq., counsel for the Coal, Cement and Supply Co., appeared before the board and claimed for his clients that their bid on certain items of fuel, lime, brick, etc., was lower than the successful bidder at the meeting of the Aldermen.. The Board of Audit and Finance declined to concur in the award against Mr. McCIammy and the matter was re ferred back to the Aldermen. The other bids accepted by the Alder men were concurred in by the Board of Audit and Finance with the excep tions named. The budget of expenses for the fiscal year, with the exception of the appropriation for lights which was deferred, and a few minor changes in other respects, was adopted as it came from the Aldermen. The increase in wages for certain employes, previously agreed upon, was included under the several heads The appropriation of $800 for an ex tension of the water works on Orange street was stricken out with the un derstanding that if the extension may later be deemed expedient, a special appropriation can be made. The appropriation of $3,000 for re pairs, painting and alterations to the OityfHall was cut down to $500, as $2,5000 of the amount was inserted with a view of establishing a steam heating plant in the building, to In clude, perhaps, also the Opera House adjoining. While the Board did not disapprove of the appropriation for that purpose, It thought better to de fer action until estimates could be se cured by the Building Committee. Should the improvement be desired after the budget is arranged, It was ex plained that a special appropriation could be made. The general tax ordinance was next taken up and few changes were in serted aa it came from the Aldermen. The real and personal property rate was reduced from $1.60 to $1.50 and the poll tax was made $3.66 Instead of $3.96. This had .been included In the adoption by the Aldermen, the only changes by the Board of Audit and Finance,' which will have to go back and be adopted by the Aldermen, was an increase of the tax on bag facto ries from $2.50 to $3 per month and the imposition of a tax of $2 per month on shirt or overall factories. There was some comment on the increase by the Aldermen of the tax on gaa companies from $16.50 to $25 per month; electric lighting plants, from $33 to $35 per . month, and street rail way companies from $15 to $25 per month, but the Finance Board decided to let the tax remain as adopted by the Aldermen. The new licenses, on shippers of poles, cross ties, gum logs, tobacco warehouses, canvassing, in stallment dealers, eta, were adopted as they came from the Aldermen. The budget as finally adopted, ex clusive of the lights, is as follows: STBKET3 AKD WHARTKS.

Smith, tenor, and Mr. Herbert K. Holden? bass. "Lead Kindly Light" and "Rock of Ages" were beautifully sung. The floral tributes were many and very hand some.
