STREET BOARD
MAY GET AUTO
To Replace Horses And Car
riaees on Inspection
Trips

In seeking some means Of facilitating
the numerous and extensive lnspec-
tions Of the city's streets and sewers
they make almost daily. the Street and
Sewer Directors have heard the buzz
of the automobile bee. The directors
have informally discussed the advis-
ability of substituting the two teams
now owned by the Street Department
for what they now consider the more
appropriate and less expensive auto
mobile
The two carriages the directors now
control are rapidly deteriorating and
will have 20 be replaced very shortly.
IL Is for this reason that tho directors
arc considering tho new plan of
Transportation. While doing so thcy
discovered the interesting fact that an
automobile would be much cheaper as
we'll as more appropriate for their
work than the teams
The two horses owned by the de-
partment cost the department monthly
more than $40 The acquisition Of
motor-car would mean merely tho gas
oline and renewal Of tires. and tho
expenses Of the directors for their
transportation would thus be lowered
materially.
The need Of an automobile has now
become a serious consideration by tho
directors. and further attention may
bo paid 10 the idea
To those acquainted with the work
OF the directors the purchase OF an
automobile for the department. seems
desirable Tho directors give a great
deal of their time 10 the department
10 the neglect Of their own office ar
fairs and the inadequate means they
have OF making their numerous i'm
spections makes "a necessary to spend
whole DAYS sometimes. Inspections.
for instance are frequently made Of
places i'm opposite ends of the city on
/ the same day. A mOtor-car would
permit them to make such Inspections
in one quarter of the time they now
occupy. and would accordingly give
them time to undertake other inspec-
tions or visits for the department.
when they are so disposed.
In view of the decided superiority
of the motor-car over the teams both
as TO despatch and economy. II IS not
/ improbable that Wilmington may soon
have it's first municipal automobile.
An automobile belonging 10 tho street
Department OF course, could be put
10 many uses Tho directors might
be courteous enough. on state oc-
oasions, TO lend it TO tho mayor 20
head some big parade, or prehaps
sometimes Chief of Police Black might
borrow It TO whlzz over the county
after some bold offender. II would.
in fact, belong TO the city, and the
fact that the street directors want 10

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
His Wife and Several Children
Camped on His Trail.

There is a vacancy in the ranks
of the granite cutters employed at
the stone shed of Robar C Company.
the cause of which reveals an Incl
dent which might be taken for the
text of a sermon on the deceitfulness
of man. 1t appears that about three
weeks since, there appeared at the
granite shed a certain gentleman
named A. F. Neithmer who claimed
to come from one of the western
states. He wanted a job Immediate
ly and on producing his union card
was furnished with employment by
Mr.. Robar, to whom he appeared a
sober, Industrious workman. With
him came lady whom he introduced
as Mrs. Neithmer, and the couple
started light housekeeping on Bar
re street, apparently intending to
make their residence in this city per
manent. But alas, the workings Of
the Granite Cutters Union is re-
sponsible for his sudden disappear
ance from local circles, for 1t was
necessary to send his card to the Ma
tional Executive Board to prove the
fact of his membership, and the re-
ply received from that body caused
Messrs. Robar and Company to
change their minds concerning him.
1t was learned from the National
Commission that Mr.. Neithmer had
come from one of the western states
but since his departure another wife
and several children had made ur-
gent inquiries through the Granite
Cutters Union as to his whereabouts
stating that he had left them some
what suddenly and that nothing had
been heard from him since.
Mr.. Robar made Brother Neithmer
acquainted with the facts learned
from the National Commission,
whereupon the last named seemed
desirious of curtalling his stay IN
this vicinity, in which opinion he
was heartily supported by his en-
ployers. He therefore struck out
f'r the tall timber on Monday, az
companied by Mrs. Neithmer No
2, and the stone shed of Robar &
Company will probably know him no
more.
