I'M publishes card to the town coun-
Gil in the Punta Gorda Beacon in which he
says: Tho filing of an injunction by Col
Trabue and the Florida Commercial Com
pany prevents the town of Punta Gorda
from collecting taxes until the in INJUNCTION
Is dissolved In the meantime the town
suffers damages. We wonder very much if
there be the proper redress. But whether
it be or not if the injunction be dissolved
by the supreme court, which we believe it
will be, according to the opinion of the best
| lawyers in the state, then the losses caused
the town Of Puuta Gorda must be made
| good, ana, following Une example OF Isaac
| Trabue, the town council must make the
originators OF this tax-preventing scheme
| pay the fiddler, and sue them for the dam
| ages inflicted, which low estimate would
put at about $1,000, if not more. The fun
is not all on one side"
