Gilman Draper moved that the finance
committee be authorized to prepare
an ordinance for a bond issue for the
sewer work contemplated. Council
man ane declared such action had
already been taken, and he suggested
that one bond issue be provided to
take care of all the work.
City Engineer Taylor estimated that
the three operations would cost about
S60,000; 100000 for the Thirtv,tirst
street sewer, S25.0O0 for the Tenth
and King grading and $4,000 for the
Second ward trunk line, hut he prom
ised TO give an accurate estimate by
noon today so that Councilman Stover,
chairman of the finance committee,
could prepare the ordinance to be
submitted tonight. Mr.. Sparks re-
minded the Councilmen that these fig
ures are for good weather and that
20 per cent. must be added during ex-
treme weather.
Councilman Kane suggested that the
committee could advance the money
to the Street and Sewer Department
to start the work without waiting un-
til the bonds were sold, and Mr..
Stover assured them that this would
be done. II was decided to wait un-
til the meeting tonight before taking
such action, and at that time, when
they will know just what the work
will cost, they will pass a resolution
giving the department a certain sum
of money to commence operations.
Mr.. Sparks declared that the de-
partment could begin the work within
three days, and if Council advances
the money as they agreed to do the
work could begin next Monday.
A question as to whether the city
bond issue could be sold was raised,
but it was believed that there would
be no trouble about selling them, as
the citizens of Wilmington, knowing
the good purpose for which they were
issued, would be glad to purchase them
over the counter should they fail to re-
ceive a satisfactory bid for them. Mr..
Stover mentioned that the Levy Court
recently received a bid below par for
county bonds for the Third street bridge
but stated that the city bonds always
brought a better price than county
bonds.
Councilman Draper stated that there
would be no trouble disposing of the
bonds, which bear 4 l-2 per cent, TO
Wilmingtonians, as the city treasurer
has a list of persons who want them,
and he personally knew several persons
who would be glad to purchase some
of them.
A motion was then made and carried
that the finance committee, after re-
ceiving the estimate of City Engineer
Taylor at noon today, should prepare
an ordinance for bond issue for a suf-
iicient sum to cover all three operations
The matter of advancing money to the
department, and of street improvements,
will come up at the meeting tonight.
