Mr.. McNulty this morning gave notice
OF an act authorizing the Mayor and
Council of Wilmington to borrow u sum
crossings Of railroads and for the improve
ment OF streets and avenues in the city OF
Wilmington. This proposed measure con.
tairs many good features, but 1t will
never become Inv, it Is thought. because
the people of Wilmington n.o opposed to
saddling any more debt. For years an et-
fort has boon made to do away with tho
grade c-cS7.;.s, c-.ccS7.;.s, ut Third, Fcusah od
| Market streets. but all to no avail. The
city, ofcourse, has to bear certain expenses
incurred by the work but it is certain that
no more bonds will bo issued to raise
money to meat that expense. 1t is under
stood that 81, 900 0Oo will be asked for by
tho promoters of the bill.

McNulty's net.
