will carry Ashe and Allegheny counties,

During the year thirty eight fire
alarms were turned in. Seven of these
were false alarms and three were out of
town. In only six of them was there
any considerable loss. The total fire
loss to the city during the year is esti-
mated at $57, 943.45. The insurance
paid was $53, 565.45. The two largest
fires of the year occurred on April %,
1896, when the Raleigh and CASTOR
machine shops were burned, entailing a
loss of $37, 110.45. The loss on the
power house, burned the night of De-
cember 31st, at loss of $14,O5S. There
were five fires in August, November and
January; four in April, July and Feb
ruary; three in October and December;
two in May and one in March and July

The report Of the Water committee set
forth the condition the plant and equip

and that the plant was able to furnish
at all times suffciency of water.
During the past year no addition has
been made to the number of pubfic-tire
hydrants. The hydrant rental amounts
to S4.920. The report recommends that
all charges for maintenance of street
pumps be made against the Water De
partment, thereby relieving the Street
Department from this improper charge.

1T will be noticed from the above
statement that the disbursements exceed
the receipts by little over $1,000, but
of the disbursements, S16,o31 was paid
to- the commissioner of the Sinking
Fund and S16,S64 was spent on perma-
nent improvements, thus making the
actual running expenses for the year,
S49,5S3 The disbursements have ex-
ceeded the receipts every year for the
past several years. The only way to
remedy this matter is to increase the
value of the property or to increase the
tax rate or TO issue bonds, for we be-
lieve that the expenditures have been
made as mcagre and economical as pos
siblc Your committee refused to increase
the taxes. hoping that the increase of
value and the receipts from taxation on
same would cover the actual expenses.
We regret to note that this has not been
the case We are doing what no other
city undertakes to do. viz: to make per-
manent improvements without issuing
bonds, but if this policy is continued we
must either borrow money or we must is
sue bonds for these permanent improve
ments. We have $4,000 of old per
cent bonds falling due next July. We
are authorized by statute to issue ,
per cent bond for the purpose of taking
up these expiring bonds. If we do this
we can take up the outstanding war
rants of the city. which now aggregate
by an accumulation of three or four
years the sum Of S1S,147.S9, and have
surplus for permanent improvements.
lii order to keep the expenditures of the
city within the proper limits the com
mittee recommended and Board adopted
the following apportionment of funds to
be expended by the different departments

Will be Heard Before Judge Adams
This Afternoon.

Though all the facts, especially touch
ing the Morganton institution, have not
yet been agreed upon by the lawyers. an
agreement will be reached to-day and
the asylum cases heard either this after
noon or tonight before Judge Adams,
who will arrive here this morning.
On account of the interests at stake,
more than because of the points of law
involved the greatest interest is being
manifested in the result of these cases
There is a very strong array of counsel
on both sides, and if they go into the
argument to any extent the herring Of
the cases will consume several hours
1t is probable. however, that his will
not be done. as it makes very little i"
any difference how the lower court de
cides the matter. 1t will go to the Su-
preme court and there is the real battle
ground.

scented as follows: The MOrganton in

YE OLDE FOLKS CONCERT.
A Splendid Entertainment for Benefit of
First Baptist Church

Clad in clothes of other days and sing
ing songs of the long ago, Il score of
Raleigh's prettiest young women and
handsome men amused and delighted II
large audience last night at the Institu-
ton for the Blind.
The concert was given under the aus
pieces of the Ladies' Aid Society of the
First Baptist church. 1t was a success
in every respect. The costumes were
true to the time they were intended to
represent; every number of the pro-
gramme was admirably rendered and the
financial results were gratifying.
The following is a program of Ye Old
Folks Concert at We blinde schoolc.

Miraculous Ordinary was miraculous
| enough. but Il little out Of the ordinary.
She was Mr.. Archie Walters. and when
| she, no he. or rather it. rose to sing, il
furnished enough fun for an ordinary
| minstrel show. But that's what it. |
| mean he, Mr. Walters, not the minstrel
show, was there for. He was the hit
of the night. He or she or it. is not
| much on singing, that is, it didn't sing
| much, but when it came to lOoks-well.
that's another story
Altogether, this was really one of the
best and most laughable entertainments
| that has been in Raleigh this season.
Every character, every costume was
| good, and every one who took part in
| the programme acquitted themselves adj
| mirably.
1t is to be hoped that this concert can
| be repeated here at some early date

THE RHAMKATTE TELEPHONE

THE RHAMKATTE TELEPHONE.
1t seems to be the general impression
here that those who use the telephone
line from here to the homes of Dr. Nc
Cullers, Kemp. Johnson and Mr. Utley,
some 16 miles south of here. will have
to pay for so doing. This is not true
1t can be used as freely as the telephone
to any part of the city. Though this line
is a private enterprise it is connected
with the Raleigh exchange just like all
the other phones and can be used when
ever desired. The owners of it had it
put in for their own convenience and not
as a money-making. enterprise.
