Question of Ordering an Election on
Bond issue hy Brunswick Count
Postponed.

~--~--
After rather a lengthy session the
board Of commissioners, which met II
special session last Monday to hea
petitions asking for a special election
TO vote bonds in aid OF the construction
of the Wilmington, Brunswick & South
eTn railroad, again deferred any action
in regard to calling this election asked
for by over 600 voters Of the county
until the regular meeting in March,
which is the 18th. This action was
taken On the advice of their attorneys
according to the wish of the county
commissioners as the agreement pre-
scented by the railroad was
required to be changed in some fea-
lures and the stipulations made more
explicit as to the proposed equipment
Of the road, weight of rails, etc. These
reQuirments were readily agreed to and
concurred in by Mr.. u. w Whitehead
who expressed entire willingness Oh
the part of his company to meet every
requirement. of the county in the mat
ter. Therefore, although it is unfor
tunate that there should be any delay
in the Immediate placing of the pro-
position before the people Of the county
by calling the election. yet it was
thought best by both the representa-
tive Of the w. q. e S.. railroad and the
county to merely defer the calling OF
the election until March 18th when al
the papers will have been drawn salts

PART OF OLD LONG BRIDGE.
Workmen >Excavating for Building
Foundation Uncover Timbers.

The workmen employed in digging away
the bank at the foot of 14th street south
west for the site for the railway station 1t
is proposed to erect there yesterday I'M
covered the timbers of the portion of the
old Long Bridge that formerly crossed the
river at that point. The timbers are about
twenty feet long and twenty-four inches
square, and are braced with heavy iron
rods and plates They are in good condition
and will have to be removed before the new
building can be erected.
1t Is stated that when the railway COM
pany established its freight yard on Mary
land avenue between 18th and 18th streets,
about twenty years ago, the hills were cut
down to make level ground for the tracks.
The excavated material from the yard was
taken to the river at the foot of 18th street
and fill made without removing the tim
bers of the old bridge, which were COMPLETELY
covered from sight, and their existence all
most forgotten until brought to light yester-
day. 1t is thought that difficulty will be ex
perienced in removing the timbers as thew
are bolted to woodwork and into the piers
of the old bridge.
When the fill was made two spans of the
bridge We're covered and the tracks placed
on top the earthwork.

ANOTHER CONDUIT.
Efforts for an Appropriation to Be
Made by the Commissioners.

At the next session of Congress the Com
missione-s VIII repeat their efforts of
former years and endeavor to secure an
construction of another conduit in con-
necton with the city's water supply The
Commissioners have been convinced for
some time that the single conduit now in
use is not sufficient to answer the local
demands and this city should be given this
additional means of distributing water.
Mr.. w. a. Mcfarland. superintendent
of the District water department, who
realizes the danger OF this situation
possibly better than any one else says
that If anything should happen to this
conduit the water supply of Washington
would become exhausted in four days and
drinking water would be worth it's weight
in gold. In his annual report submitted
to the Commissioners last week Mr. Nc
farland recommended that the Commits
sioners prod Congress for this appropriation
with which to construct the additional con-
duit. Gen. Mckenzie, in command of the
Corps of Engineers. u. 8. A., and who has
supervision over the Washington conduit,
also recommended the construction of an
additional conduit, in his annual report
submitted to the Commissioner several
weeks ago. However, these officials have
been for several years calling attention to
this necessity and have been endeavoring
to obtain from Congress sufficient appro-
priation.
Although the Commissioners will do their
utmost to secure an appropriation from
