City Councils principal subject for dis
cussion last night was regarding the
Water Witch, Phoenix and Weccacoe
Companies applications for chemical en-
gines and the Delaware Company's request
for an additional appropriation. Tho Fire
and Law Committees had the matters in
charge and their report was adverse to
taking any action on the application OF
the residents of the Ninth ward for com
pany, and also against the Phoenix Com
pany's request. Favorable reports were
made regarding tho other companies.
which means that in short time the
Delaware Company will have its increased
appropriation to meet its running ex-
penses, the Water Witch Company its
combination chemical and hose wagon and
the Weccacoe Company its chemical en-.
CINE.
The motion to adopt the report met
with considerable opposition. NJ ssers.
Fisher, Robertson, and Watson were all
opposed to the unfavorable report regard
ing the Phoenix Company contending that
that body of fireman had the largest sec.
ton of the city to cover. All of East Lake
must be covered by them. Mr.: Robertson
yentured the assertion that the Phoenix
Company could reach any fire north of
Sixth street and East of Washington
streets, quicker than any company now
having chemical engine or likely to have
one Finally the report was referred bacl;
to the Committees for further consider
alton.

The New City Charter.

We have had the report of the Commits
sion appointed to consider the question OF
municipal government 50 far rs 1t relates
table. II makes some eight pages and
tae report was presented to the Legislature
to-day. The four commissioners to which
tils work has been assigned consisted Of
Daniel w. Taylor, VIM. ID. Mullen, Jr.,
Frank Pyle and John S. Rosscll, BY the
provisions of the new charter the dominant
political party is prevented from securin g
preponderating control Of the city's affairs.
The power is given to City Council to OK
tend the limits Of tho city. The Legisla-
tive power, which under the present char
ter of the city is divided between the
Council and tho several departmental
boards is again restored to council. The
Mayor is to be given the appontive power
that our former mayors enjoyed. City
Council Is given authority to fix tho num-
Der and compensation OF the subordinate
officers, clerks aud employees to be engaged
in the several departments. The heads of
commissioner will have a right to sit in
City Council, but without having right
TO vote The assessment of real estate
shall he placed under the control Of spe
cial hoard having no other duty to perform
and not identified except in this particular
work with the administration Of the city
government. Tho method OF holding city
elections is a bipartisan board of election
supervisors to be established and the ap
pointment Of inspectors and clerks Of cleo.
tion from all parties provided for, The
county tax is to be dispensed with As
qualification for voting and n fee OF 70
cents paid to the city shall cntit!e the citi.
zens to Il vote.
Self government shall he restored to the
citizens Of Wilmington. The way to ac
complish this is by consolidation of the
various city departments under the con
troll of the Mayor Tho bill is considered
good one, and should it be adopted, VT
believe the city of Wilmington wUull
take jump ahead once more, and thous
ands of citizens be added to our popula
ton. Every one Of the four commission
Srs were unanimously in favor Of the new
city charter as put in shape by them 70
adoption by tho Legislature. 1t has a goot
many features TO recommend it TO the pr
rusal Of every citizen Of Wilmington Il
restores the control of the Municipal atfnir
once more to the hands Of the mayor II
Is given the appointive power instead o
its being placed in the hands Of the con
miss!oners and City Council. This nov
rity charter, if adopted, will go into OF
feet in June next. Tho terms of all off
sers will be for four years, Including tina
" the mayo" whose term is now tw
years. The new city charter cannot Civ
rs any worse city government than thu
under which we are now living.

ING sssnt Of dsbsuehsfy. maud and deosp'
NON, Is dispensed with.
The commission hes not regarded the
payment OF o tax as essential 10 tho exor-
cise Of the elective franchise and hAz, there
fore, discontinued the Payment OF Apounty
tax as o prerequisite to voting, and sub.
stituted, as means OF Identification and
contribution to the election expenses, the
payment to the city OF a fee OF Twenty-Five
cents by every voter
:. II self.government, the cherished heri-
tage Of q free people, now too long lost to
the citizens Of Wilmington, shall be re-
stored In their midst the commission be.
lieves that the accompanying bill indicates
the way In which this can be most easily
and successfully accomplished.
Reserving, as 10 does, to the people and
their representatives in Council full con-
troll over all matters except those purely
administrative; reducing the expenses OF
government by consolidation of depart
ments; harmonizing the various admins

around one common and controlling
center, the Mayor; and removing all In
centiye to personal and political prefer.
