The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night was rather dull compared With former ses sions. A large amount of routine work was disposed of but nothing of unusual interest or importance devel oped. The meeting lasted until a little after li o'clock. The 3oar wasricalled to. H-der by . the ArayshorUy after 8 o'clock all members having been present; also City Attorney Bellamy, City Engineer Matthew, City Clerk Fowler and other departmental officers. The reading of the minutes of previous meetings was heard and adopted and the Mayor called' for committee reports, but upon motion of Alderman W. E. Yopp, Hon.1 John D. Bellamy was- heard in behalf oi the Wessell estate, owner of the bulldmgs 126, 128 and lSO Mar ket street, recently condemned by the Fire Commission as unsafe. Mr. Bel lamy asked that his clients be either allowed to put tin-roofs on the build ings or be given reasonable time, say six months, in which to put a. more substantial structure on the site. On motion "of Alderman Karr, the mat ter was referred to the Fire Com mission with power to act. - Mr. Bellamy said that to protect flocal electrical contractors, he was asked to suggest an Increase of the license tax on such contractors from $2.50 per month to $100 per year, pay able annually in advance. Outside contractors, he said, came in, paid the monthly tax and monopolized the business. Alderman Price said the matter had previously been called to bis attention and he had prepared an ordinance to cover the suggestion of Mr. Bellamy. The ordinance was read, but Alderman W. E. Yopp said he, thought the matter should be de ferred for further information. Alder man O'fh-ien favored the ordinance as a means of protecting home enter prises. Alderman Johnson said he favored an amendment graduating the tax according to the number of men employed. Upon objection, the ordi nance went over to the next meeting. Chiarman W. H. Yopp, of the Fi nance Committee, adverted to an agreement made some time ago to appoint a special committee to can vass applications for liquor licenses, so as to relieve the Board of those matters of detail. The Mayor ap pointed Aldermen Aloore, O'Brien and Brown. Chairman Yopp reported the result of the recent conference with the Board of Audit and Finance. Chiraman O'Brien, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, reported the completion of the North Fourth street paving at a. cost of $16,794.76, of which property owners pay $3,572 and the C. R., L. & P. Co., $1,795, making the net cost to the city,. $11, 427.76. He also reported the laying of seven blocks of drainage at a cost of $1,478, the appropriation having been $1,500. Ten carta are employ ed hauling rock on the extension of Market street, about 700 tons of the material having been used. The foot of Grace street paving is delayed on account of the necessity for building a bulkhead at the dock. The Mayor suggested that inasmuch as the pest house is used for both city and county patients that the County Commissioners be respectful ly requested to bear a part of this ex pense. Wilmington, he said, was nine tenths of the county and the county should look, out for the patients as much as the city. The Finance Coxnj niittee was requested to call on the Board of County Commissioners and endeavor to have them pay a reason able amount toward the new building. The appropriation of $500 was grant ed and the contract was let to Jas. , H. Burriss for $475. Chairman Johnson said that he had hoped to report definitely upon the municipal ownership of a water works plant; but under the circumstances he was not ready with a definite report and would ask for a special meeting upon the question within about a week. The ordinance introduced at last meeting, providing for a building in spector under the State Fire Waste Law, was called up again and passed. The question of remuneration was dis cne&,anjLljni favor ed that the-inspector receive, the fees prescribed hy the law- not, exceding $600, the Board of Audit and Finance concurring. He accepted an amend- j ment by Alderman W. E. Yopp mak- j lng the maximum $40 and the same was carried. Alderman- W. E. Yobp nominated Jas. . H.- Burriss; Mr. Kirr nominated T. E. Lupo; Mr. W. H. Yopp nominated H. E. Bonitz and Mr. Price named Thad. F. Tyler. On motion of Mr. Johnson the vote -was by ballot and resulted as follows: Bonitz, 4; Burriss2; Lupo, 2; Tyler, .1. . There being no election a. second ballot wasf-taken, resulting again in uo choice as follows: Bonitz, 4; Bur riss, 3; Tyler, 1; Lupo, 1. The third ballot resulted "in the election of Mr. Bonitz as follows: Bonitz. 5; Bur riss, 3 T Lupo, The Mayor stated for the informa tion of the Board the arrangements he made as to working of convicts in the rock qurary. The action of the Mayor was concurred in, the Streets and Wharves Committee to look after the care and keeping of the convicts Upon motion of Mr. Brown, a vote of thanks was tendered the Mayor for his efforts in this direction. Aldermen O'Brien made a motion, seconded by Alderman Rathjen, sug gesting a salary of $1,000 per year in stead of fees for the City Engineer. Mr. Price made an amendment, rec ommending a salary basis but naming no amount. Mr. Price's amendment was carried, Mr. Johnson vottrg in the "negativ?. Communication from J. M. Coin re lative to sidewalk was referred to Streets and Wharves Committee. Re quest of T. Simmons for correc tion of tax list was referred to the Finance Committee with power to act Similar action was taken as to communication from the Murchi son National Bank. Question of remuneration for weigh er and inspector of rock at the city quarry was '.referred again to the Board of Audit and Finance with the request that the salary be made $9 per week as originally recommended. Property owners abutting on Ches nut, betwen Front and Water streets, petitioned for Belgian block pavement on the thoroughfare named, the own ers agreeing to pay half the cost of the improvement. The proposition was regarded as very liberal and was accepted upon motion of Mr. O'Brion. subject to concurrence of the. Board of Audit and Finance. , " Matters of sidewalks of S. W. San ders and on Hanover between Third and Fourth streets, were deferred un til the special meeting to be called later, the City Engineer to run out the lines. Alderman W. E. Yopp sug gested that curbing be placed on Fourth between Nun and Castle streets. Air. O'Brien said ne regrei- v Note the Extra Heavy Cone Center Grate.

Alderman Kiny offered the ordinance presented by the Mayor as a - motion. Alderman John son said In this connection, that the superintendent of streets might give the- trades for the sidewalks. Mr. O. M. Fillyaw was present and spoke favorably of the efforts of the city to co-operate with citizens in laying side walks, but he said that property own ers on North. Fourth street had been damaged by the lowering 'of the side walk, leaving buildings on an eleva tion. He would not be surprised if litigation resulted from the conditions explained. Mr. Johnson amended the ordinance offered by the Mayor, nam ing the superintendent of streets to give grades instead of the City Engi neer. Cameron F. MacRae, Esq., was pres ent and submitted a petition from owners of "Saint James Square," which has recently been, developed as a residence settlement. The petition askeL for some street improvement around the property; that Ninth street from Orange to Ann, be curbed and rocadamlzed and that Ann street, from Eighth to Ninth, be similarly jimproved. The curbing was especial- r, . .1 : .1 knnanoa rVir nrnnortv own - this ly desired because the property own ers all desired to lay a concrete pave ment around the Square. Upon mo tion of Mr. Rathjen: the matter was referred to- the Streets and Wharves Committee with full power to act. as to the curbing only. Chairman Karr, of the Police Com mittee, recommended Che election of Messrs,. John R. Sneeden and C. G. Jones to positions on the force. Al derman Johnson entered his protest ing was about exhausted: he would like very much to accede to Mr. Yopp's request for the curbing and was in favor of borrowing money, if need be, to meet citizens- half way in making these improvements. It was agreed that the work should be under taken as soon as present projects are completed. Alderman King asked that a 25 foot roadway be built after Mar' ket and Red Cross on Seventh, be tween Castle and Dawson streets.
