C Covington, Judge George Roun tree, Thomas H. Wright, L.,W. Moore, J. Haughton James, Dave R. Foster, O. T. Wallace J. P. Council, George H. Hutaff, Roger Moore, Marsden Bellamy, I. Shrier, Sol Sternberger, H. L. Voilers, L. E. Hall, J. W. Brooks, A. O. McEachern and E. I- Bear. Two or three gentlemen were ex cused from subscribing to the fund when they informed the meeting that they were just now engaged-on the construction of dwellings, the - chair man saying that those who were put ting up buildings on a big scale were doing the very thing that the corpo ration , expected to do and that noth ing more could be expected of them. Talks were made by two or three gentlemen, who lamented the fact that their finances would not permit them to participate on a big scale, but urged that they be allowed, to contribute in a smaller way. They were assured that every man would be given an opportunity and that the fellow who had only $100 to put into the corporation would be extended that privilege. All are agreed that building oper ations should be started within the next two weeKs; tnat it is impera tive that houses be provided for the workmen who are to come here with their families, and it wag made clear that the shipyards were iocated here because the government was given to understand that the city would take care of the housing part of the pro gram, This was made clear when A. Silverman caned attention to a press dispatch to the effect that the gov ernment contemplated the lavish ex penditure of money for building houses were shipyards are located. The City naturally expects outside aid and perhaps government aid, but if was made plain that this aid would not be given until the city showed the government that it was doing every thing within its power to cope with the situation. The shank of the meeting was ad dressed by Sidney Bleber, one of the city's newest citizens, who stressed the fact that Wilmington has not?yet awakened to what has been' dropped into her lap, and he urged : that ,tiO i stone be left unturned In an effort to meet all emergencies and provide &1 newcomrg with houses.1 ' The ; chair announced that a.' com i mitteewpuld -appear before city Coun- en at tomorrow's-regular session ana urge , that Jhe city governing authori ties prepare fp "extend streets and furnish water and sewer to the houses that are to be built. The presump tion is that the Tidewater Power company is prepared to take care of the gas and lighting situation. This matter, however, will be taken up with traction officials and worked out in detail. The meeting was a success from every angle, and it is believed that Thursday morning will seo the com pletion of what was begun today the complete formation of the pro posed corporation which will build houses and continue to build houses, until every mechanic and laborer coming here will find no difficulty in locating his family. 1 When You Give A Box of Candy You Should Give HER Wu hitman's Because She is Worthyof the Best r & FUTRELLE Phone 211-212 1 07 Princess Street 1 L I V iNOT S UN EViuRTY TIME VOO IN ONE.
