The recent announcement by the Su-

that the lower court. whose decision
recognized the principle of the right OF

the trial Yet the fact that an injunc-

that the supreme court does not care

aspiring for the posItion-it is good

feet right to aspire TO enter the ser

has not been any feeling against the
other applicants at any time. To
those who aided in securing the ap-

only wish is that fortune may deal
kindly with them in some other man

this desired end. and should the ser

The Florida water proposition is
now under full headway. and we trust

article.

all aldermen present except Mr.. Skoog.
After being called to order a resolu-
tion was offered by Alderman AleXan-
ander that the proposition of the Flor
ida Canal company and the accom-
panying 500 900 bond be accepted, the
same being seconded by Alderman
Darlington. The mayor put the mo-
ton and the seven aldermen voted
aye. At this the mayor arose and said
that the original contract called for
guarantee Of the reservoir as well as
the dam. and as this had not been

tention to the same 1t seems that
none of the aldermen had looked up
the provisions before and believed
the bond covered the contract.
While discussion was going on in which
it was agreed that the bond
should comply with the original CON
tract. Mayor Wall returned to the
council chamber and participated in
the talk When the council was
called to order again Mayor Wall
stepped into the hallway. whereupon
the motion and second 10 accept the
resignation was withdrawn and the
clerk instructed to make no minutes
on the record books, Mr.. Wall being
called in and taking his seat. The
bond was then accepted and the coun-
ell fulfilled it's part OF the obligation
by issuing a warrant to Mr.. Williams
for 0.000. thus closing the matter so
far as the Florida reservoirs are con
cerned.
A warrant was also drawn In favor
of Boyle and Morgan for $1,000 In ac-
cordance with former agreement.
On motion the mayor then appoint
ed committee to investigate site
