CONTRACT FOR LIGHTING Awarded io C. K. Urht & P. Co. Tbe Uqsor Traffic Refutations Tsbled. OettlBi Ready for Permsaeit Street Work-Nstei. Much important business wss trans acted at last night's regular monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen at which Mayor Bpringer presided and upon whieh all members were in at tendance. The lighting contract was awarded to the O. B.. L. & P. Co. at the same figures as last year; arrange ments were made to begin the opera tion of the city rock quarry and to pare Market between Second and Fourth street; the regulations framed by the Ordinance Committee to re strict the liquor traffic were tabled without discussion; $800 was appro priated for extension of the water main on Orange street and many other matters of more or less moment were acted upon. Toe meeting continued until 11:30 oeioekandtbe room was well nigh filled with spectators and others drawn by curiosity to see what the Board would do upon the severs! important matters before it Committees were first called. Onalr man Yopp, of the Finance Commit tee, reported in favor of adopting the tax ordinance as recommended by the Board of Audit and Finance and same waa adopted. In reference to taxes paid twice by Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy upon recommendation of the Finance Cmmittee, $34.75 was ordered re funded to Mr. Bellamy. Alderman Sweeney, of the Sanitary Committee, rt commended the purchase of a street sweeping machine at a coat of $350. Mr. Sweeney said a machine would result in a aaving of $13.18 per week over the old process of hand sweeping, which coats $16.68 per week for two weeping, per week. Upon motion $350 was appropriated for the pur chase of a machine. Petitions for and against contract ing the lines In which hogs are allow ed to be kept in the city limits, were read and no action was taken, allow ing the linea to remain aa at present Alderman Hashagen said that the Light Committee had installed three lamps on Market atrret and one near ihe cotton mill. An appropriation of $6.75 each was made to defray ex penses of same. Ia reference to the city lighting con tract a formal communication .re garding the action of tbe Board of Audit and Finance in disapproving the bid :of the Turrentine Ught Co. Waa read and Chairman Haahagen asked that tbe matter be referred back to the Light Committee with power to act Tbe Mayor suggested that Presi dent Hugh MacBae, of the C. B , L & P. Co. be heard. Mr. MacBae aaidihat he was pres ent to ask that their; bid be approved at once; that at previous conferences his company had not had an oppor tunity to present its side of the case. He said that the company's general mansger had promised to continue lighting the city until further arrange ments could be made, but that tt would occur to any one that the C. B., L. & P. Co. could not afford to light the city by the day as cheap as it could by the year. As to the price of the lights Mr. MacBae submitted a state ment showing that the average cost of lighting cities in the United States, moonlight schedule, is $86 per year, while Wilmington was getting her lights at $83 per year. He made a personal allusion to his interests in the city and spoke about how they bad been' harrassed. It had goaded him to the point he said, where It was a question whether anybody should attempt to do anything progressive In the Oity-jof Wilmington. It Is easy enough to drive out to kill indus tries, but it is very hard to get them. Beturning to tbe question in hand, Mr. MacBae read a letter from the president of the Commercial and Farmers'! National Bank, of Baltimore, stating that no Kitson lights were in use In that city. A large lumber manufacturer told him, said Mr. Mac Bae, that the Kitaon lampa were an in fernal nuisance. Mr. MacBae spoke of the efficiency of tbe lights now In use and naked prompt attention. Mr. Haahagen said hla committee was of the opinion that the proceed ings were irregular; that the Board of Audit and Finance should have re ferred the matter to the Ught Commit tee. He auggeated that others be heard as to their proposition. However, he made a motion, seconded by Mr. W. E. Yopp, that the matter be referred to the Light Committee. Alderman W. H. Yopp disclaimed any Idea of being discourteous, but said he thought that the acceptance of the KItson proposition would be a step backward. He made a motion that the C. B., L. &P. Co.'a bid be accepted; seconded by Mr. Moore. At request of Mr. Hashagen, Mr. Turrentine was heard as to his propo sition. He spoke at some length, re ferring to experiments and number of lamps in use In other citlea. Mr. Tur rentine waa interrogated by Mr. Mac Bae, whose company he charged indi rectly with having stifled competition. Mr. MacBae said the a B., L. dfc P. Co. had never paid anything to Mr. Turrentlne'a company to refrain from bidding. Mr, Behrenda rose to a point of or der, saying . the cross-fire between Messrs. Turrentine and MacBae was entirely foreign. o- Mr. Top). niDtlou to award the con- i tract to the C R., L. & P. Co. was then put and carried, the following having voted in the, affirmative : Messrs. Behrends, Gafford, W. H. Yopp, Moore, Murrell and Tiencken. Mr. MacBae thanked the Board for Its its action and said since the matter had been settled he would then say that his company proposed, at no fur ther cost to the city, to install five ad ditional liehts along Front and Mar ket streets, giving a light at nearly every block on those thoroughfares. He furthermore said that where the city wants lights in the future they will be installed, where conditions are not unreasonable, without the instal lation fee of $35 previously charged and provided for in the contract. Chairman W. H. Yopp, of tbe Streets and Wharves Committee, read a communication from Mr. O. H. Dock In which he offered to' lease the city rock. quarry, if put In orderr for $25 per month, pay for the use of the mines-, and, furnish 130,000 tons in two years for $1.30 per ton at the quarry and $1.75 delivered to any point in the city. Mr. Yopp moved that the bid be accepted and the motion was carried, Mr. Behrends alone vot ing no. The City Attorney asked to ba recorded as having given legal advice upon the subject Chairman Yopp offered a resolution that the city of Wilmington will pro perly grade and pave Market street, be- . twten Second and Fourth, with pave ment of standard material in a first class manner, providing the property owner abutting thereon will pay one half of the expenses of said pavement, a plaza to extend through the centre. A proposed agreement between the city and property owners waa read and both were adopted unanimously. Upon motion of Mr. Sweeney $500 or so much thereof as is necessary was appropriated for placing the road roller at the rear of the City Hall In order, the Board of Audit and Finnace con curring. An additional $350 was appro priated for placing tbe machinery at the rock quarry in repair. The committee's recommendation, upon the advice of the City Attorney, not to concede the two feet of the alley adjoining the property of the Both well heirs, was carried by a close' vote, 6 to 4. Previous awards having been non- curred in by the Board of Audit and Finance, new bids were called for brick, lime, cement and coal, the items to be considered separately. Alderman Moore, of the Poliee Committee, reported that an investiga tion of the unnnecssary noise by the street cars had been made and that the trouble had been reasonably remedied. J.F. Smith was elected a policeman, vice Howard, resigned. Alderman Behrends, of the .Water Works Committee, recommended ex tensions of the mains on Nixon street, also to Cape Fear Mills, and on Or ange from Sixth to Eighth streets. For the last named extension, $800 was appropriated although the same ap propriation was disapproved by the Board of Audit and Finance some time ago. Alderman Moore, of the Fire Com mittee, reported the resignation from the department of Messrs. J. Wanna maker and H. Kuhl and John Jones and Graham Smith were elected in their stead. Messrs. Dan Bowan and J. A. Johnson were elected substitutes. Bequest of Angola Lumber Co. as to fire protection in view of the installa tion of water works over their grounds, was granted, and to the Fire Commit tee was delegated the authority . to designate what apparatus shall respond to alarms from that quarter. Alderman Gafford, chairman of the Ordinance Committee, presented a draft of ordinances for the regulation of the liquor traffic, duly approved by City Attorney Bellamy as to legal status. The ordinances were read and are the same, except as to verbiage, as those previously adopted and subse quently revoked. There was not a new feature in them. Alderman Sweeney moved that the ordinances be laid upon the table. The motion prevailed without discussion, those voting in the affirmative having been Msssrs. Behrends, Sweeney, Moore, Murrell, Haar, Hashagen and Tien- ken. Bond of Mr. H. C. McQueen as commissioner of the sinking fund in the sum of $5,000 with Messrs. H. C. McQueen, J. W. Murchison and J.
