ing on the general reduction tariff

Therefore, | am in no way ready
to take final action on so important
a matter at this time, especially as
the first proposed reduction is still
pending. | further advise, and do
freely admit, that | have not had suf-
ficient time to properly give this
question the proper intelligence that
it so much deserves and that both
sides expect in a decision coming from
the commission. More especially is
this the case as the arguments for and
against this reduction asked for were
only made ten days ago and in these
ten days the commission has been ex-
ceedingly busy with important work
which could not have been neglected.
In conclusion, hope. within the next
ten days, to be able to give to the
public my many reasons for my dis
agreement to the reduction asked for"

Police Chief Would Have Short
TerMers Save City Much

Chief of Police George Black has a
suggestion TO make relative to the
subject OF street paving which Is now
agitating the taxpayers Of the city.
Chief Black today expressed the opin-
ion that inasmuch as the city pays
Tor the maintenance of its police force,
its police court, and other incidentals
in connection with the law and order,
that the prisoners convicted OF Of
lenses committed in the city and sent
TO the workhouse, al least the short
term men, should be made to do some
work for the city in return for the
expense they incurred by their arrest
and trial. Some Of these prisoners
now work for the county, building
roads etc. and Chief Black thinks
they should be made to at least pre-
pare the material for street paving in
Wilmington. He advocates a city
prison and a quarry in which the men
could turn out the stone, which is a
big item in road work, and I'm this
way do away with a greater part of
the cost Of paving.
