CITY AFFAIRS. peetal id ting of the Board of Aldermen X.Mt Jflght Tbo Board of Underwriters Threatening to Increase the Bate and Premium "of lire lain ranee and the lire Companies taxing- thT Will X1 band If Their Appropriation Are Cut Down - Mayor Wright called a ipeel&l meet- ng of the board of Aldermen lat night to consider matters connected with the anltatlon of the city, the fire depart ment and other business. V r Those in attendance were Mayor Wright, and Aldermen Keith, Twining, Hewlett, . Benson, : Norwood, Walker and Green. - Mayor Wright stated the object of the meeting and said Drs. Thomas and McMillan were present to present the draft of an ordinance regulating the health and sanitary conditions of .the city. He called on Dr. Thomas who stated that he and Dr. McMillan had prepared the ordinance after, much labor and research, and after he had explained Its nature and purpose, it was read, by the clerk. The ordinance contains 46 sections, and is -complete and thorough In its provisions. It was framed in accord ance with Section 25, Chapter 214 of the Acts of the General Assembely of 1893. AmongTother things It provides for the annual election of a city superintendent of' health, who shall be -a licensed phy sician and shall be paid a salary to be fixed by the board of aldermen and board of audit and finance. It defines his duties, and provides for a city board of health to consist of the mayor, the city superintendent of health, two li censed physicians and a "layman" not a member of the board of aldermen. The other provisions regulate the san itation of the city. " On montiom'of Alderman Hewlett, the ordinance was adopted, and under its provisions the mayor named the fol lowing as the city board of health: Mayor S. P. Wright, City Superintend ent of health Dr. W. D. McMillan, Dr. George Gillett Thomas, .Dr. F. H. Rus sell, and Mr. William H. Chadbourn. The mayor thanked Drs. Thomas and Russell for their arduous, labor and pains in the preparation of the ordi nance. - The clerk read . a -report signed by Colonel Walker Taylor and Messrs. W. M. Atkinson, J. H. Boatwright and F. H. Stedman, a committee acting in be half of the local board of underwriters, touching the fire alarm system and the fire department. They report that the Southeastern Tariff Association sent M. A. M. Shoen, electrician, here to ex amine the fire alarm system, and ac companying their report is Mr. Schoen's report as follows: The Southeastern Tariff Association Atlanta, Oa.: . Fire Alarm System Wilmington, N. C. System Gamewell; - equipment con sists of 33 boxes; 1-3 circuit repeater; two tower , bells: four registering in dicators; nine small gongs; eight miles of wire, and 330 poles. The boxes are of a late pattern having the non-inter ference feature and a switch which protects the box from other currents by shuting the magnets out of the cir cuit when the door is closed. I found the boxes, repeater and all other me chanical or electro-mechanical contri vances to be in perfect order proving conclusively that the fault does not lie with that part of the system. The pole line presented an altogether different appearance and if It would be in much worse condition I should be at a loss to suggest how to begin to make it so. The wire varies in size from No. -14 maernet wire to No. 12 and No. 10 cod- per and Iron, some insulated, but most of the insulation has worn off and now" hangs in ragged shreds. The poles are, some of them not more than twelve feet high and many of them are so rot ten that they will fall down if the lat eral support afforded by the wires be removed. The wires in some places sag to within ten or twelve feet of the ground which makes them very liable to being broken. The wires are almost Invariably secured to the pole one above the other oh brackets in. such a manner that they can easily sag into contact and cut the box or boxes de pendent on them out of circuit. In stead of brackets cross arms should be used. Some of the spans are so long and cross section of conductor so small that the wire is liable to part from its own weight. No atempt Is made to keep the wires clear of trees, in fact brackets are sometimes fastened to trees to save poles, and telephone, elec tric light, or street railway poles are used wherever they happen to be con venlent. In some places the fire alarm wires cross the trolley entirely too. low, where this is necessary they should be well above the railway wire. Upon in quiry I learned that several unnumber ed release-box keys are out among persons not connected with the fire de partment and it Is not known who holds these keys, making It easy for the box es to be tampered with in case of incen diarism and leaving no clue to the Identity of the party making the mis chief. "I would then recommend that the entire outside Installation of the sys tem be remodeled, using new poles and new No. 10 hard drawn copper wire. poles to belong to and be used by the fire department only, poles to be of such height that the fire alarm wires shall be above those of all other sys tems. Wires to be either carried clear of trees or else trees trimmed sufficient ly to prevent contact between limbs and wires, where two wires are strung cross arms to be used and. not brack ets, and all release keys called In ex cept those carried by the chief and superintendent of fire alarm. A key to box No. 45 at Northrop's saw mill should be kept at the electric light sta tion of the Wilmington Gas Light Com pany, where it can always be found, As upon Inquiry I found that the su perintenaent oi nre aiarm nas never been allowed a gong or tapper at his house. I would call attention to the necessity for such a device being in his room in order that he may be awaken ed in event of any of. the circuits open ing during the night. This is most im portant. The system is divided Into three crcuits and the apparatus divided between those as it should be. From what I could learn the recent failure of the system to work came from two- causes, either the boxes had been tarn pered with or else ; wires leading to these boxes, being in their present con dition, came in contact, shutting the boxes out of circuit and preventing alarms from them going into the en gine houses. I believe the latter theory to be the correct one. Mr. Mcllhenny, who has charge of the system, has evi dently, judging from the condition in which I found the apparatus, done his duty faithfully so far as he could with out money. Unless this work Is taken promptly into hand I would recom mend that the reduction in rates al lowed for fire alarm be rescinded. : (Signed) A. M. SHOEN. Electrician. The . committee also ' accompanied their report by the following: from the committee representing the companies of the fire department: Wilmington, N. C. May 14. 1897, To the Honorable the Mayor and Board or Aldermen: gentlemen: We theu ndersigned memDers of committees representing tjy instruction, the Wilmington Hook ana laaaer Company No. 1, the Fifth War Hook and Ladder Company, the Cape Fear Engine Company, No. 3; the Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1, desire to make the fol lowing statement: il. That the appropriations made for the present fiscal year- commencing April 1, 1897, for the companies above mentioned are not sufficient to defray 2. That the amounts heretofore allow ed by the city, only when added to the fines and monthly tax collected from fthe individual members, barely paid the actual expenses bf our respective companies. . 3. That this Is a volunteer depart ment. ' . 4. That its members do not receive any compensation for their services. - 5. That they supply tneir own uni forms, furnish their halls and pay for the lighting and heating of the same. 6. That the money appropriated by the city is expended by is Judiciously and with a view of keeping the effi ciency of the department up to the highest possible standard. 7, That we cannot consent to con tinue a fire organizations unless . the appropriations are increased to what they were for the past fiscal year. sV That the Fifth Ward Hook and Ladder Company's case 4s worse than the others, in that it has never receiv ed an appropriation sufficient to pay its expenses, but has maintained its or ganization by heavily taxing its mem bers, We request that the appropria tion for this company be made 1480 per annum. 9. That we respectfully request that you give this subject your earliest con sideration. The special committee which presents this communication is instructed to furnish any information in regard to our expenses which you may desire to have; and further to waTE upon his honor the mayor at his -office at 12 m. on the 20th Inst., for your reply and Immediately report same to whole com mittee.

The committee called the attention of the board to the fact that if the fire alarm system Is not kept up to an effi cient standard Wilmington, instead of being classed as a first rate town, as it now is, will be classed as a third rate town and the insurance rate be in creased 100 per cent, on brick buildings and their contents, and 66 2-8 per cent, on wooden buildings and . their con tents. They also call the attention of the board of aldermen to the fact that it is necessary to keep the fire depart ment up to its present state of effl cieney, else the city will be reduced to the fourth rate, and in which event rates will be increased 800 per cent on brick buildings and their contents and 100 per cent, on wooden buildings and their contents. Alderman Keith moved to refer the reports to the mayor and a special com mittee, but Alderman Walker objected, and said the fire committee was the proper committee to refer it to. At the suggestion of Mayor Wright, Alderman Keith withdrew his motion, and the reports were referred to the fire committee, consisting at present of Aldermen Walker and Benson. The mayor stated that as yet the chairman of the fire committee had refused to co-operate with the board. On motion of Alderman Walker, Mayor Wright was added to the committee. After granting various building per mits and referring sujidry petitions to committees, the board adjourned. The Cost of Maintaining the Fire Com' ptnles. The following letter is the reply to one from Chief of the Fire Department Charles Schnibben, requesting informa tlon as to the cost of maintaining Wil- mington Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1 during the past year: Wilmington, N. C, May 13. Mr. Charles Schnibben, Chief Fire De partment, City: Sir: Enclosed you will find a state ment of the amounts received from the city by our company, also the total amounts expended by us in defraying the ordinary expenses of the same for the past two years, but does not include extraordinary expenses, such as lunches, etc. We will be pleased to exhibit our books and vouchers to the boards of aldermen and audit and finance should they wish to see them.

Magnificent Farade by Beplnmed Knight Yesterday Morning Enjoyable Kzcnr. lon to Sea Ceremonial Session of Oasis Temple It Kight-Farewell Banquet. The Grand Commandery, Knight Temlar, were prevented from parading on Thursday afternoon, on account of the rain, but they carried put the pro gramme yesterday ; morning at J 9 o'clock. On - Thursday SO uniformed Knights were in line to parade, but as many had left the city there were only 40 in line yesterday morning. The Sec ond Regiment band, playing magnifi cent selections, headed the parade, and it moved under command of Grand Generalisimo W. E. Storm assisted by Grand Captain General W. F. Ran dolph. The procession of igayly be plumed Knights moved up Market street to Third, on Third - to Dock, on Dock to Sixth, on Sixth to Market, on Market to Third, on Third to Chest nut, on Chestnut te Front, on Front to Market and thence to the foot of Mar ket street where the Sir Knights took the steamer Wilmington on an excur sion to Southport and out to sea. On the parade a toehing incident oc curred in a thoughtful honor paid to the venerable Past .Grand Commander Alfred - Martin. The battalion halted in front of his residence and with the old gentleman at the window, the Sir Knights came to e. "present swords.''' Mr. Martin waved - his acknowledg ments,, and was much pleased at this kind remembrance by the Grand Com mandery. , ." . THE EXCURSION. The steamer Wilmington left the city at 10:05 a. m.. and ran to Southport where a number of the party got off, not caring to take the trip out to sea. A large party remained on board, and the steamer - sailed five miles outside and then returned. Only three or four got ' sea sick, but there was an im- menee amount of whistling to keep up courage. The steamer got back to Southport, at 2:30 p. m., and left at once for the city. Mrs. E. Warren & Son furnished the refreshments, and they were handsomely , served under the supervision of Mr. R. F. Warren The delightful refreshments were the chief feature of the trip and were much enjoyed. Mr. Louis Weill, by the way, cleverly served Anheuser-Busch on tap, ana it goes wotnout saying he was well patronized. The steamer got back to the city at 5 p. m. THE SHRINBRS. After the steamer got baek to the city the members of Oasis Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, made preparations for their annual parade. They rendezvoused at Pythian Castle Hall, on Front street and headed by- the Second Regiment band, twenty-four strong, they had the most unique parade ever seen in Wilmington. The Shriners were rig ged out in dress coats and wore f ezzes, and looked like a procession of Turks Ten were mounted on horseback, one rode a donkey, one in a goat cart, twenty-five marched afoot and fif tten followed in carriages. The parade was witnessed by large crowds that gather ed along the route and enjoyed the af fair immensely. The route was down Front street to Nun, on 'Nun to Third, on Third to Dock, on Dock to Sixth, on Sixth to Market, on Market to Seventh, on Seventh to Red Cross, on Red Cross to Front, and down Front to the hall. Last night there was a special cere monial session of Oasis Temple to celebrate the feast of Soo Frat et Ta'am, and to look after the safe transportation of the unregenerate on the perilous journel across the hot sands of the desert to Mecca. Sixteen novitiates were landed in Mecca, and it is reported that there are only twq corpses in the lot." Illustrious Potentate W. S. Liddell assisted by Illustrious High Priest J. T. Barron, of Columbia, S. C, had charge of the caravan across the desert. After reaching Mecca, the carravan adjourned to Harmony Cir cle hall where a splendid banquet was served by the Ministering Circle of the King's Daughters. The menu consist ed of salids, deviled crabs, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, cake, etc., and the feast lasted until 2:30 p. m. Many of the members responded with talks, and the party agree that the time they had was immense. . The hall where the novitiates were sent on the way across the desert, and judging from the gun shots, yells and groans, they had a hard time of it on the hot sands. The ladies of the Ministering Circle have The Messenger's warmest thanks for a part of the feast sent to the office. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC SPECIAL NOTICES. EGGS.
