One of the hopeful signs of the

sidering proposition to acquire the
Larkin lot and water front, also the
Dalton and Lucas water fronts, to-

certain streets of the city to the
property.
In the event that the above prop
erty can be secured within q certain
limit of cost, and the right of way
through the streets@is granted by
the council, the G. s. & F. Ry. would
use the property thus acquired for
the erection of fine freight and pas
senger depots.
Palatka would also resume its old
place as the southern terminal of the
road, and would be headquarters.
Up to the present time options
have been given on all the property
desired but one piece, and Judge Yer
trees and Martin Griffin, who are
promoting the deal, assure the News
that the prices placed upon the prop
critics desired will come within the
limit of cost fixed by the railroad
company.
1t is probable also that at the next
meeting of the city council applica-
ton will be made by the railroad
company for the right of way through
the streets.
The route proposed is to branch off
from the present track on Durham
street into Peck, down Peck to
Laurel, thence to Adams street and

This deal has been hanging fire a
long time and that there is prospect
of its consummation at an early day

For School Consolidation

The plan to consolidate certain
rural schools in the county TO the end
that better schools with longer terms
may result is already meeting with
not unexpected opposition.
The trouble to be encountered will
arise from the fact that each place
will want to furnish the location and
local agreement will not easily be
reached. .....
Pomona and Como are but two
miles apart. The former place has
made a proposition to Como looking
to the consolidation of the two
schools at Pomona. This proposition
has been rejected by Como.
The citizens of Como feel that the
Pomona, Como and Huntington
schools should be united, and that as
Como is between the two places
it should have the school.
The school directors will have a
problem before them when they un-
dertake the location Of rural schools
