NEW CHARTER
IS DISCUSSED.
Conference Concerning the
Duties of The Executive !
Board.
FLNANCESOF DEPARTMENT
Question Of Transfer OF An.
preparations by Council
Receives Considerations
at Session.

That part OF the new City Chartr
which applies 10 the executive boa ID
was discussed at Il meeting OF the!
! JOINT committees OF the Board Of
Trade and City Council last evening.
This executive board Is to be CON.
posed OF the heads OF the Depart.
ments OF Public Works, Water Sup.
ply, Public Safety. Claims aud As.
sessments, and Receipts aud Expe o.
ditures.
AS prepared by the Board of Trade
the new Charter provides that the
heads OF the various departments
may Sit in City Council and take pan
in the deliberations OF that body, and
shall assist the Mayor in conducting
the affairs of the city.
After the duties OF the heads. of
the departments had been discussed
and passed the matter OF the tinan.
ces OF the departments was cons ider.-
ed. the bill providing that the head
OF each department shall submit to,
Council an estimate of expenses, fop
the coming year.
The City Council is empowered.
under the new Charter. to transfer
the appropriation of one department
10 another. should Council deem,
such course necessary. This meas
ure was opposed by Thomas d. Bay
ard member OF the Board OF Trade
Committee, on The ground that 1t
would make an opening for extrava-
gance, and that each department
should lie required to live within its
own appropriation. This view was
earnestly supported by Councilman
Smith.
William p. Bancroft supported the
Charter provision. stating that il
would be necessary to have two.
thirds vote Of Council to transfer any
appropriation, and tina the llcadsof
all the departments were entitled to
a voice in the matter However Mr..
Bayard's views we're in ia yOr with
majority OF those present. and, after
much general discussion, it was de.
cided to give the subject future con.
sideration, with a view 10 having
tbio oSSUiou dillSllVCu ~ Ulldu SOuus
Gil could make a transfer under ex.
traordlnary conditions that could not
be met by the contingent fund of
tho departments. Such a contingent
fund, Mr.. Bayard held. should be
possessed by each department, and
he suggested that itshould be speci-
fled In the appropriation ordinance
that such contingent fund should
not be used except under extraordi.
nary conditions.
Several other provisions OF the bill
were discussed aud several were
marked for future consideration.
Among these was The section
which provided that Council should
annually appropriate the sum OF
SIT, 900 to the Park Board for the
aud care of the Parks.

RAIN AND WIND.
Somewhat Cautious Forecast is
LiberalIy Realized.

Humidity that stayed in the nine
ties all day made yesterday decided
ly disagreeable, entirely overcame
the effect of the comparatively low
temperature and developed into a
drenching rainstorn at night, thus
fulfilling the forecasts of the last
few days.
The day dawned with hopes of
clearness, ana not until tho after
noon did rain become Il certainty.
Then gentle shower, which event
ually developed into heavy down
pour, set III. The deluge continued
during the evening, and the early
hours Of to-day. Much wind accom-
panied it.

TENDERS FOR STREET CARS.
Movement to Have Cars Equip
ped With Safety Appliances.

The movement TO compel the city
trolley companies to equip their cars
with tenders is showing renewed life.
1t is probable that inside Of ayear all
cars running i'll Wilmington will be
so equipped.
Manager Crook Of the Poop! C S
Railway Company at one time was
prepared to equip the cars and could
get ready now at short notice. At
the last session Of the Legislature a
bill to compel all railway companies
to equip their cars with Tenders WAS
defeated.
1t is the opinion that City Council
and the Street and Sewer Depart
ment may confer about the fcuder
question.
A week ago little girl was killed
by a Rivervicw Car but her life would
undoubtedly have been saved hal the
Car been equipped with fender
Although accidents are few in
Wilmington it is deemed wise to
have tthe; best guards against
fatalities put in service in advance.
Chester has passed the fender ordi-
nance and the Darby cars which
run through there must be equipped
with Tenders.
