NEWS OF NEW CASTLE

other year as tenant OF Clayton farm
at Hare's Corner
Frank ID. Moore appealed from the
administration of the Acting Commit
tee regarding the Model farm, and pre-
scented several bills for work done by
himself toward the Improvement of
buildings and fences The committee
was sustained, but urged to ajudicate
the difficulty
A HUBBUB IN MEETING.
There was breezy time when the
semi-annual appropriation 10 the Len
ape Fire Company of S125 came up for
an order to be drawn. Mr. Challenger
appealed to the bylaws and started to
read "a written protest. The chair ruled
that he had right to read and enter IT,
Mr.. BOrie appeaed from the decision Of
the chair, calling in a loud voice TO
overcome Mr. Challenger's stentorian
tones.
Dr. Blacks voice hOwevr, was not
equal to the emergency, and MIR. Borie
again called out in loud tones. this time
TO Secretary Ferris to read something
interesting from his minute book, or
any old story at all Mr.. TOman was
also on his feet, helping to drown cut
Mr.. Challenger's fortissimo intonatiOns.
Both men appealed in loud tones from
the chairs decision on the ground that
the Fire Department appropriation had
been ordered three years ago by the
trustees for FIVE years, and the paper
writing i'm question was altogether out
of order. BY this time excitement was
at such a high pitch chat DR.. Black
could not put the question to appeal
from his decision.
In emphasizing one paragraph of his
protest. Mr.. Challenger lOOsened his
hold on the paper and Mr.. Toman got
it. He twitted the speaker on his be-
ing caught mapping, and jokingly jab-
bed him in the ribs with the paper
Nothing daunted, Mr.. Challenger jerked
another protest from his pocket. Mo
tions to adjourn flew thick and fast
but DR.. Black sustained Mr.. Challenger
Mr. Borie again appealed from the
decision Of the chair and. while Mr.
Challenger was still reading about 81
$50 being spent on the fire company
"another private corporation, Dr.
Black put the appeal from his decision
and the chair was not sustained. Mr.
Toman caught hold of Mr.. Challenger
coat tail and pulled him down. Both
men began TO maui each other then
and Mr. Challenger rescued his paper
4 from Mr. TOman and handed it to the
| reporters and another TO the secretary
! for record. Mr.. BOriefH motion to adj
iourn finally passed.
Mr. Challengsr's appeal was taken
/ from bylaws XII, of the Board oi
/ Trustees:
THAT the yeas and nays of the mem
| bers-shall at the desire cf any two
members of the board, be entered by
/ the secretary among the records anC
proceedings Of the said board, and th
/ question. together with the yeas an'
nays thereon, so recorded, shall at th'
desire Of any two members, be forth

IN IT'S ELECTRIC CONTRACTS.

Collector Tobins report showed that
he had $500 in cash for the city.
r. w Mulford and others appeared
to bid on printing the city charter, but
Mr. Pagan stated that Council had
nothing 10 do with that. The road tax
bill was read and referred for a month.
City Solicitor CoOpCr's opinion on the
electric light contracts was read as fol-
lows:
"To the Honorable. the City Council Of

Gentlemen: ] have examined the
contract drawn by you and submitted
to me. between City Council and the
Wilmington and New Castle Electric
Railway Company for lighting the

to have been written by you correctly,
IL the facts stated are as you desire.
Il would suggest. however. that in
stead of twenty-five are lights. the
provision should be for q sufficient
number of arc lights tof 1900 candle
power), to light the city satisfactorily.
This would be similar TO the prOvi-
sion I'm the contract by the Levy Court
for lighting the all. ] would also sug-
gest the Importance Of adding to the
provision authorizing the erection OF
poles. stringing of wires, these words:
Insofar as the said city may be
empowered to confer such right under
its charter There is a question on
your right TO DO Jhis and this provision
added will relieve the city from any liza
bility Ia that particular except under
