Upon Council Necessity Of
Providing Place for Needy.
STOP WORK OF GRAD|HG STREETS

ment-Couneil Meets Tonight.

After ordering paid a number OF
small bills contracted by the city IN
taking care OF poor people In various
parts of the city, the finance commit
tee of the city council last night I'M
animously recommended to the com
mon council that the new almshous'e
On the Briarfiel6 road, In Elizabeth
City county, be opened as speedily as
possible.
At the last regular meeting OF the
common council the finance commit
tee was instructed TO advertise the
present almshouse site for sale or
exchange for another site, but the
committee disregarded the instruc-
ton and adopted resolution again
urging upon the council the necessity
for providing some place in which
the poor and needy and rauper SICK
of the city may be taken care OF. The
peer people are now being taken care
of In homes in various parts of the
city at the city's expense, while some
OF the Judgment sick have to be
cared for in private hospitals. The
bills fer this service are heavy each
month and the members OF the H.
nance committee believe that the new
almshcuse could be conducted at less
expense than the poor are costing the
city under the present arrangement.
Stop Grading Streets.
A resolution from the common coun-
Gil providing that certain OF the I'M
paved streets of the city be brought
10 grade was reported unfavorably and
the committee recommended that the
council repeal the ordinance provld-
ing for the grading OF other streets
Tho work authorized by the ordi-
nance In question Is now In progress
and if the Recommendation Of the com
mittee gees through the grading work
will be stopped and. il is claim
ed. the streets will be left in a bad

Councilman Cox's resolution pro-
v.ding for the purchasing OF two
