cussed.
At conference. held yesterday after
noon, of the Legislative Committee of
City Council and President Carpenter and
J Newlin Gawthrop Of the Street and
Sewer Department, the needs of the de-
partment were thoroughly discussed
The committee of Council think that the
additional appropriation of $50. 600 which
the department asks for is to large. The
department wants the money to meet
the cost of lighting the streets and pay
ing the city surveyor. 1t contends that
these items were not intended to be paid
out Of the appropriation given them by
law.
It was finally agreed that the Street
and Sewer Department would withdraw
their act asking for $50, 600 increase. If
Council would favor the passage of an
act giving them an increase of $15, 900 q
year for the next two years; after which
Council would appropriate additional
funds to the department according to its
estimates providing it saw fit.
Action on the resolution agreed upon
was postponed by Council last night. If

rtment will send its bill for an increase

Captain Charles H. Smith and James A.
Light pipe Of the Wilmington City Elec.
trio Company, held brief conference on
the subject Of underground wires. The

found II would be very expensive fol
the company to experiment with what
had not been success in other cities.
Its $50, 900 worth of wires would be use
less as they could not be used under

in other cities it will be we'll to try it

He spoke ia Italian as follows:
ssBrave Americans you are the first pill
grims Of your nation to visit the Holy Land
the place in which our Lord Jesus Christ
suffered and died. Other nations-such as
France, Spain, Italy and Ger1nany-have
from time to time formed pilgrimages to the
holy places, but Americans have been rather
slow in organizing bands of pilgrims. ]
trust that after this first pilgrimage Others
viii follow.
''But even this IS not enough. 1t Is my de
sire that missions be established there. The
Tranciscans have for some time taken charge
Of the holy places, and they are doing all they
can to promote devotion toward them. Again
] say that ] am very glad that you have giver
fhe first impetus to these pigrimages, and
hope that you will have a prosperous journey
and safe return homer

"Ihat is the standard Of brave and FREE
people, and hope GOD will bless them and
enable them to maintain their freedom
Various religious articles held by the pill
Grlms were blessed, and all their requests fol
tndulgences were most generously guarded
Each pilgrim fervently and reveronty kissed
the ring and the hands of the sovereign
pontf.
At the end he bestowed upon all his apos
toxic blessing, the priests, In a body, giving
