ITALIAN GROUP
RENOVATES HALL

j Renovation and improvement OF
Thalian Hall, including the installa
ton of crash doors and negotiations
for the addition of 400 seats, began
yesterday, according to H. Edmund
Rogers, deputy-manager of the
Hall.
Estimated cost of installing the
emergency exit doors was set a
$500 by Rogers, who said improve
ments now being completed would
run the cost to $500.
Negotiations now are underway
for the purchase of 400 new seat:
for the Hall, Rogers disclosed.
Plans for buying the 400 seats Of
the bleacher-type from a Hickory
furniture firm are being discussed
with the firm, which has quoted a
tentative price of 81 per seat to the
Italian association.
Wednesday, Rogers appeared be.
fore the first meeting in 1916 OF
tne City council to request that the
1lve-year lease on the building,
winch expires Jan. z, be renewed
for another five-year period to the
association. The application for
renewal Of the lease included a
request for minor revisions of the
terms of the contract.
Thallans proposed to the council
that the lease be made on a basis
Of so per cent of gross receipts 90
ing to the association for operating
expenses and so per cent going for
improvements on the building.
If any part of the so per cent
allocated for building improve
ments was not used for that pur-
pose, Rogers said, the remainder
would be turned back to the city in
cash. ITALIAN account books at all
times would be open to the city Of
ficials, he added.
In support of his arguments for
a revision Of the lease contract,
Rogers pointed out that the asso-
citation already has spent $500 more
than the $500 provided in the pres
ent lease for building improve
ments.
Gross receipts include revenues
received by the association for SUBJ
letting the hall for use by outside
groups.
No action on the renewal Of the
lease was taken directly by the
council. Councilman James E. l..
Wade's motion that the matter be
referred to City Manager A. C..
Nichols and City Clerk j. r. Ben.
son for further study was seconded
by Councilman r. S. LeGwin and it
carried.
Italians will continue to operate
the building under terms Of the
old lease until a decision is made
on application for renewal, ac-
cording to a provision incorporated
into Wade's motion.

Sunset Park Residents
Denounce Tank CHARGES

J, While many residents of tn
Forest Hills Oieander section un
dertake to privately maintain thei
septic tanks, by far the creates
percentage of pri wat e ly main
tanned tanks is in the Sunset Par]
area, which now receives waite,
and sewerage services from tn,
Sunset Water company and not tn,
city of Wilmington.
4S7 Septic Tanks
OF the 702 customers OF the Sun
set Water company, including
Riverside apartment jewellers, 49,
have their own private septic
tanks according to j. G. Gholston
president of the company.
"Over 400 of the septic tanks
have been installed within the past
five years." Gholston said. Bar.
ring unusual circumstances, he
said, septic tanks can reasonably
be expected to exist for to Is
years without being serviced.
Septic tanks can be cleaned and
the entire operation completed,
Gholston said, for SIS. Average
cost, per house, Of sewerage main
tenance charged by the city is
SIPS per quarter, or S. per year.
A second phamplet, by the Sun
set Water company, also was in
circulation among the company S
customers today. 1t stated, mo
agreement has been made as to
the disposal Of the Sunset Water
company's water and sewerage
systems, consequently we will con-
tinue to operate them"
Effective July 1, company rates
for water will be SO quarterly for
a minimum of 1880 gallons OF
water compared o ely rtes of So
quarerly for 1880 gallons OF
water compared to city rates Of So
to one-haf OF former rates, was
announced in the phamplet. At the
same time the water minimum
was also cut approximately by
one-half.
Gholston said today he already
has submitted to the city a survey
of the Sunset Water company"s
sewerage facilities, and that a SEN
ond survey, listing extent and 10
cation of all water facilities, will
be submitted shortly. He said no
forther conferences had been held
between him and city officials.
IT suppose the city will either
buy the facilities or let US con-
tinue to operate Them" he said.
Further action of the City coun-
ell on the matter Of septic tank
maintenance will be contingent
upon decisions reached by W. B.
Campbell, city attorney, to whom
the issue has been referred. At
the present time Campbell Is at
his home, 1718 Chestnut street, re-
cuperating from an emergency ap-
pendectomy.
Alan A. Marshall, law associate
Of Campbell who sat in on yester-
days council session, said he did
not know whether the majority
vote for city limits extension con-
stituted mandate to the city, al
lowing 1t to proceed to charge all
residents of the city, regardless of
status. the flat sewerage rate.

= Serious complaints against tn
city's charge on maintenance o
septic tanks, arising mainly from
Sunset Park residents, have beer
brought to the attention Of the cit.
council.
Walter Bunch, Sunset Park resi-
dent, who was an opponent OF CIT!
extension, told the Star that This
action by the city bears out tht
prediction Of opponents OF annexa
ton made prior to the: extension
election on additional charges tt
be made"
Z Official notice OF the centra.
80 blem, septic tank maintenance
Nss taken in the first 1946 session
Of the City council. Councilman
Ray Pollock, new member rep
resenting Sunset Park, told other
council members that confusion
reiened in the minds of many OF
his constituents regarding that
item.
The confusion came, Pollock said,
Because of a $4,000 figure listed in
the Facts and Figures" phamplet
distributed by advocates of the ex-
tension. Opposite the words, "Sep-
tic tank maintenance was the
$4,000 figure.
Councilman explained that the
AZ nm repre sented not a part OF the
taxation income Of the city, but
theamount it was estimated would
be required to provide the man
tenance service. At the present
time the city charges residents 50
cents for each toilet fixture and
Is cents for each additional drain
type fixture, each quarter.
In circulation at the present time
is a circular-application mailed
out to new residents by the city.
The application is for septic tank
maintenance at regular rates. Dur
ing the discussion of the matter
in the council meeting, Wednes-
day, City Manager A. c. Nichols
said the signed applications were
being received from residents lin
great numbers"
In the Sunset Park area, how
ever, residents are strenuously OBJ
jecting to the terms cited in the
circular because they say, tax
alton is supposed to include the
expense of septic tank mainte-
nance. Furthermore, many of the
residents are refusing to sign the
circular-application.
= Wednesday, councilmen gingerly
discussed the legality Of charging
all residents of the city for septic
tank maintenance, regardless OF
whether the signed contract was
made or not.
3 1.-THE contract is binding" Coun-
cilmen Harriss Newman, attorney
and new councilman from East
Wilmington, said. consequently,
residents who now privately main
tain their septic tanks are not
obliged to sign for city mainte-
nance. But if some resident OF the
city, who previously had been
maintaining his own septic tank,
were to have trouble with his tank,
he could apply for city mainte-
nance and the city would have to
take him in at regular rates."
