Some time ago A. B. Rowland. who owns
the cottage just north of the Arcade hotel at
Orlando, moved his building out almost TO
the street line in order to get out Of the
shadow Of the hotel. Mr.. Dodge, who lives
Just north Of Mr. Rowland became enraged

light was now cut of, and proceeded to take
vengeance on his neighbor. row Of posts,
painted so black as to fOrcibly remind the on
locker Of gallOws was erected just over Mr..
DOdRc's side of the line the posts being TWEEN
ty-iYe feet high. Workmen then began to
build solid board wall on the north side of
the posts, of planed weather boarding, the
rough side OF which had first been smeared
with coal tar. Mr.. Howland obtained an in
junction and now the posts tower high in the
air awaiting the decision OF Judge BroOme on
the question of the right of a man to build
funeral pile over his neighbor S house.
The passage Of ordinances by the city coun-
ell Of Jacksonville Tuesday afternoon, pro
yidinZ for the payment Of the $,O00.O0O OF
bonds and interest in gold, and also au-
tborizlng the bond trustees to issue the bonds,
auG allowing them fair percentage for ex
pensCs for so doing, PROBABLY means the sale
of She bonds within very few days 10 w n,
Coler & Co, of New York The changes that
were made by the passage of these ordinances
we're virtually the conditions that were asked
for by Coler * Co. and the ordinances were
undoubtedly passed with this end in view
The bid Of Coler & Co. Is g1tS cents on the dol
lar the city to allow them the difference Of
2la per cent. between that figure
amounts to a commission of A25 600 for
this purpose. Under the ordinance as
passed Coler & Co. also have the prtY1
lese of anticipating the payment OF the
money at any time and are to receive 2M
per cent. interest on such payments from the
time made up to the date provided for in the
ordinance, after which time the money is to
draw the prescribed per cent. interest until
the maturity of the bonds. 1t is possible,
however, that a better offer than the one
named may be received by the trustees before
the bid is nnallY accepted and contract made
for floating the 81 100000 bonds. Messrs.
Greeley, Rillns Morgan, of Jacksonville,
practically made this same offer, j. O., of 97la
ceuts, before the bid of Coler & Co. was re-
ceived. Their friends ask why it is that their
bid was not taken and the interests Of home
concern looked after.
