[ desire to offer some comments on
the action of the town council at its
last meeting in allowing the claim of

1t has been generally known ever
since the new council was elected,
that they intended to reverse the ac-
ton of the retired council in declar-
ing the water contract invalid, and
to reinstate the same and pay all de-
mands under it made by the water
company.
On the 18th of March, 1901, the
former council, on the advice of Hon.
]. NJ. Bars, city attorney of jack
sonville, by resolution duly adopt
ed. declared the contract invalid and
notified the water company that no
further payments would be made I'M
der it for that reason.
The claim allowed by the council
was s303.75 for alleged service for
nine months by the water company
since that date.
The contract is as follows:
Agreement made and entered in
to on the 18th of July, 1894, between
in firm of Miller 4 Cash of the first
pa t and the town of Crescent City
OF the second part.
The party Of the first part agreed
to furnish facilities for fire protee-
ton for the town for a period Of ten
years, and the party of the second
part agreed to pay therefor the sum
of $405 90 annually for such service
and to exempt the entire water works
from taxation.

the position, being chairman of the

the needs of the people. We are al
so pleased to note that Mr.. Neil
Alfred will carry the votes of this
section; he has proven himself well
and ably qualified for the important
position of district attorney for the
Afth district and should have it.

Working for New School.

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
With your permission, | would
like space in the columns of the
News to state the work the Village
Improvement ASsOciciation wish to
10 for the school here. Realizing
the need of a better school building
and more central location for the
building, they set themselves to
work to see what could be done to
meet these needs. Correspondence
was entered into with the members
of the county Board of Public In
struction. 1t was found that there
was no county building fund; that
the funds for the building must be
raised. The V. l. A. at once decided
TO provide a site. They have bought
the south half of block %, corner of
Summit st. and Florida ave. This
they will give if money can be raised
to erect suitable building thereon.
Ihey have also assumed the work of
soliciting funds for the building.
The deed of this property is to be
given to the County Board of Public
lnstruction-the title vested in the
name of that board. 1t is hoped to
raise funds sufficient to build good
building-costing from one thousand
to fifteen hundred dollars. The as
ISOLATION call upon all interested
in the welfare and education of the
children and in the enterprises and
progress of Crescent City for help in
this good work. / enclose you list
of those who have been called upon
and subscribed and trust next week
to treble the amount. Thanking you
for Kindness in granting me space.
Yours cordially,
