" .. - . ' . . The action of the Chamber of Com merce was taken at the special meet ing held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering -thes matter of the Baltimore. - sjeamship line; and those presentCPmifested - much en thusiasm in the passage, of the resolu tion, whiclL yas ; presented by Presi dent Taylor and read by Secretary Kyle as follows: " -:. ; -1 "The : Secr,etaFy of J the Treasury in his last -annual report recommended that the f home of the Federal Court, Custom House and other v iriaritime branches he - in one building, which suggestion appeals to 'us as being practicable.1 and in view of the fact that the matter is now before Con gress, we think it an opportune time to acquamt our representatives in Congress with the situation in Wil mington. -- - - "The site of our Custom House .is most advantageously. : located, and covers an area- of about 120 feet square, while the present building oc cupies perhaps less than a third of the space. The building was erected some 60 years ago, and is entirely de void of modern equipments and con veniences, and is altogether out of date and inadequate to our present de mands, and to the Importance of Wil mington as a port. "In view of the foregoing, be it "Resolved: That it is the sense of the Chamber of Commerce of Wilming ton, N. C, that an appropriation of not less than. $250,000 should be made by Congress to build and equip a build ing in line withJthe ideas of the Sec retary of the Treasury,, ana that our representatives at Congress be urged to use their best endeavors to procure the appropriation and consummate the project with all possibde dispatch." President Taylor said the time was opportune for some action of the kind; the city was growing; business was increasing - and the public buildings should be in keeping with this devel opment The repairs alone made by the government on the present Custom House would pay a big interest on the cost of a new building. Mr. L. B, Rogers moved that the resolution be adopted by a rising vote and referred to the magnificent customs building in Charleston. Collector of Customs Keith was glad to hear such a resolution read before the Chamber and heartily endorsed it He referred to the increasing Imports and exports of Wilmington and'hoped the action .would be unanimous. A vote -was then called and the resolu tion was carried - without dissent. Copies of the resolution were order ed transmitted to Hon. Jno..K Tay lor. suDerintendent of public build ing's; HonL. M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, both in Washington, Dl C, and members from North Caro lina ia the Congress and Senate of the United States. The Postoffice Building Postmaster Wallace returned from Washington yesterday morning :.and was seen In regard to the probable suc cess of his -efforts looking to the en largement of ; the postoffice building. Mr. Wallace -was, of course, : mindful of the advisability of a concentration dl efforts upon some one public build ing project and was of the opinion that it was more expedient for the government to investrany available ap propriation upon the ., present very handsome, postoffice structure. It ap pears that of late, .at least, It has been the nolicy ' of the government not to have the judicial in connection with the customs interests of a port, ine size of the lot upon which the post-; officer stands s is ' 165x330 feet in size and while In Washington Mr. Wallace ascertained from the records that the lot was purchased Aug. 25th, 1887 for $40;000; the contract for the construc tion was let on Dec. -14th, 1888,' and the building was completed and-oceff- Died in 1891, at a cost of S156,513.3b. The cubical contents of the building are 486.746 feet. The legislation bear ing upon public buildings may be found in the Acts of Congress approvea J)eo. 4th, 1887, March 3rd, 1887 and on Oct. 2nd, 1888. The proposed enlargement of the building, Including an overhaul ing of the present structure, it Is es timated, would cost about $75,000 and would be according to plans ana speci fications furnished by the supervising architect for the iiovernment. Mr. Wal lace thinks there Is a -probability for the success of his project for the reas on that; it is extremely - urgent and very necessary. "The court room," said Mr. Wallace, as has been demonstrated during the late term of court, is inadequate for the transaction of the public business. There is not sufficient room for the court attaches and the convenience of the attorneys practicing at the - bar. The Jatter seems to have been entire- lv neglected in the construction oi tne building as no rooms are set aside for their exclusive use to wnicn iney r? certainly entitled. The Engineers' De nartment is : not : only inconveniently located, but very much congested. A contract has .beea-xecently : awarded fortthe construction of . two -. dormer windows, which wiCil make-available two a dditional rooms In. the -.upper storyr but even then they will relieve the-crowded condition but slightly. Th; Wonthftr Bureau - comolatns-' of space for the transaction ofnsiness there and under . the present: circum stances, they haveio sufficient, place for the filine of their records.' Tlie L lower .Hoot devoted to- the postoffice Js- by no means sufficient for the hand ling of -the iiaiiswhich are constantly increasing." '': ; v-: ' .-. , While in Washington Mr. Wallace called on Senator Simmons, Congress man Patterson and .the supervising architect having the" public building matters Jn charge.,. He was informed by Senator Simmons that there-might be no : appropriation for public: build ings at-this session but it had .'been mentioned to him by -the- chairman of the committeeon appropriations that ihev misrht snarrnn?(i that tiu Mtv in a State where ' the needs .were most J urgent might receive an appropriation-1 Air. Wallace, with that end in view, suggested to the Senator that one city would be mentioned" by him.- The gen eral policy ir not ."favored 'by Mr Sim mons, who seemed to think that each particular case should .stand on its own merits. Several - cities otaWv- Asneviue,.are asking for- public, build ings ; or additions thereto; but -Mr; Simmons promised; "when the'matter was in shapethatjhe; would use every effort to secure the extension, the need of which he recognized .when explain- of the postoffice here 'is es- pecially recommended -from the fact that no additional lands are necessary to purchase. ' Congressman Patterson also seemed to be willing to do whatever. he could to further the project and told Mr. Wallace he would give his best effort when the matter comes up. LOCAL DOTS.

Rankin and representatives of the press. j Mv. Mason L. J. Weems Williams, general manager of the Baltimore and ! Carolina. Steamship Company was pre sent but preferred to speak through President Taylor, who called the meet ing to order and -stated' the object i of the gathering. The question of a Baltimore steamship connection, he said, had been up for 20 years. The opportunity now ' was purely a busi ness proposition wlthoutnancial out lay and without financial endorsement The connection was conditioned upon the moral support of the business com munity, terminal facilities and traffic arrangements with - the railroads for interior shipment The matter of ter minals was an easy question. Plans are already on foot for an extension of harbor lines and several wharves are under consideration," one of which will be available. It was. desired that the Chamber pledge its moral support and patronage , to the' enterprise and express to the railroad lines the sense of the body that they should make an exchange of traffic arrangements, the same as now apply , to the Clyde Steamship Company. , The policy of the railroads -was not to make what they call a "paper rate" In matters of this kind. That. is, they will not ad vance a Tatej .The Atlantic Coast Line would not agree to any terms at this juncture as to transfer of freights to the interior. If the line Is brought here and traffic is desired, it was hard ly thought, however, that the roads woujd refuse an arrangement. There was no traffic reason why an arrange ment should not be made, once the line is established. Mr. Taylor went "on to say the pos- sibilities-of traffic with, Baltimore were great The proposed' line is indepen dent and would be "able to get con siderable advantage by a further inde pendent connection north from Balti more. A man informed of the. situa tion knew that Wihningt.on was not enjoying the rates that it should be-by reason of the report's natural resouces: The city and the South was on the eve of a wonderful development- Mr. Taylor believed that the advent of . the Seaboard Air Line to Southport meant the opening of this port as a great gateway of the South, with : the ex pausion of business and; the enlarge ment - of territory, in consequence of the opening of -this gateway, the new line would be a benefit to every estab lished transportation line. , Summing up the general situation, he' said the attitude of the railroads was defen sible and'not antagonistic; in fact. he knew of no antagonism to the Bal timore project ; - , Mr. Willard asked about some of the advantages of 'the proposed ex tension of the. local harbor lines and these were explained by President Tay lor, who. suggested that the Hall & rearsall whaif with a little dredging. which w'as clearly a part of the gov ernment - Harbor improvement, would do available for the new line. - MrArrtngdale spoke of the expert' ence ;of Mr: .Williams and his ances tors,- ail : practical and successful steamboat men of Maryland. He was glad to -know that the Baltimore line was contemplated and : regretted that the lumber-. Interests of the port were not ; more largely represented at . tho meeting. - He ..-did some business through Baltimore and would do mere with a steamer line between this and that port He had talked with the lum ber men here and they : were all - en thusiastic over; die project Mr. Rogiers thought the Baltimore enterprise should be encouraged, and his firm would do its part:; There was no question about 'its success, once the line is established. Mr. Nash assured Mr. Williams that witn a toreign connection irom Bal timore, his people 'would do consid erable business with the new line, "; Mr... Bear brM nf notirHR. thn Mm. munity would be foolish to turn down a proposition of this kind to increase the port's shipping facilities.. Every body did more or; less business with Baltimore and as far as he was con cerned, he would give the line a part of his freight He then made the mo tion as stated above. Capt. James L Metts seconded the motion, and said it was a great calam ity when -'the old .Baltimore steamer connection was abandoned just after the war; An immense business wah done here and he could not see why the same trade should not be built up again without detriment to '. any line already established. He suggest ed the immense possibilities of a trunk line to the West and the development here of a great grain and provision ex port trade.; He thought the busi ness interests here should heartily wel come any line, railroad or coastwise. After a little further desultory dis cussion the question was submitted and unanimously carried. President Taylor 4ook . occasion to congratulate Mr. Williams upon the very substantial endorsement . given ; the project for which - Mr, -Williams expressed his thanks.
