Pensacola Commercial: That large plat
of ground bounded by Government, Tara
gona, SarragOSSa and Commandment
streets, now partly occupied by NJ +. Con
zalez's grst mill, and on a portion of which
the old iron freight depot formerly stood,
was donateddo the city of Pensacola by the
Spanish government for educational pur-
poses. Trustees were appointed, and before
and during the war large brick academy
occupied the premises. One of
the trustees, according to the in
formation possessed by the writer, was MIR.
Caro-, now deceased, a father of Messrs.
John and Sully Caro- and their brothers.
When the war closed, the premises were
empty, the academy having been burned
The trust was allowed to lapse temporarily,
and, as was the case with much other city
property-and the practice by which the
transfer was effected is in vogue to-day-it
passed into the possession of private owners.
But by no paper, deed, grant or bargain,
can its present owners show valid title to
the property, which is still the Spanish
grant for purposes of education, and which
is still possession of the educational inter
eSts of the city OF Pensacola. The present
School Commissioners of the county and
city are the rightful trustees Of the grant,
and they may re-possess the property for
the educational interests of the city, by the
introduction of bill in chancery, bringing
evidence to substantiate their claim to the
premises; the evidence of such nature is in
abundance
