MAHLON FOSTER
WANTS TO KNOW
Councilman Kane objects to
dim InquirinS About Wal
nut Street Wharf

Mahlon B. Foster. we'll known in the
city, sent a communication to City
Council to be read last night, but it
did not come up at the meeting. Clerk
McManus turned it over to Chairman
Bilderback, of tho public building
committee, but the latter, it was later
learned, was not sufficiently informed
relative to it's contents to have it read.
To add bit of spice to the affair, Mr..
Kane, Of the Fourth ward, said some
things to Mr.. Foster, following the
Council meeting which the latter re-
sentcd, but nothing serious resulted.
The letter in Mr.. Bilderbacks hands
follows:
The Mayor and Council Of Wilmington.
Gentlemen: / notice that the lease
of Walnut street wharf to the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company expires on March
25th next according to the act oi

leasing of said wharf TO said railroad
company from March 25. 1862, for d
period OF so years and the city ordin-
ances supplemental thereto. and
write TO inquire whether this wharf
property will be leasQd at public auc-
tion. as provided by law. | would
also be glad to know what the city
has been receiving under said 90 yeai
lease.
Respectfully,
NJ b. Foster
When the letter was not read, Mr.
Foster inquired of Mr. Bilderbacl
why it had been withheld. The Nintl
ward Councilman replied that the com
mittee had not sufficient information
on the subject and intended to take
up the matter with the city solicitor
That was the reason, he said, thii
wharf was not advertised with th'
others to be leased,
At this point Mr. Kane walked M

Gil would attend TO its business.
