In the death of General Maxine
Comes, Cuba lost one of her most re-
spected and influential citizens. His
death will be mourned throughout
the entire island. Brave, strong and
patriotic, he spent most of his life in
fighting for Cuban independence. He
could easily have been Cuba's first
president, but he preferred the
quietude of private life.

Mr. Smiths showing for the county
was far better than Mr.. Stuckey's
showing And the levy was only 45
cents during the last two years of Nr.
Smiths administration, while 1t has
been 80 cents for the last four years.
The blame does not lie on Mr. stuckey;
the county court must shoulder the
responsibility.

will pay county bonds bearing per

The report was received and
adopted, after which plans for
proceeding with the work were
perfected, the different branches
of the work being placed in the
hands of various committees.
The finance committee was
instructed to ascertain what
funds would be necessary for
the work and where the money
was to come from.
The matter of repiping the
streets to be paved was placed
in the hands of the street cons
mittee with instructions to res
port at the next meeting. This
work includes new water main,
new gas pipes and all service
pipes in the two blocks.
The city attorney was inN
structed to give his written
opinion at the next meeting Of
the laws in reference to and
governing paving of streets.
The matter of ascertaining
the cost of the brick to be used
and the recommending of it
was placed in the hands Of the
street committee with instruc-
tions to report 1t was also de-
cided to secure the services Of a
competent engineer to superin~
tend the work. Inquiries are to
be made and a report submitted
at the next council meeting.
The mayor called the atten
tion of the street committee to
the number of property holders,
who had failed to respond to the
order of the council to lay new
pavements in front of their pro
perty. No action was taken,
but the matter will be brought
up later.
Complaints were entered
that the lights along the Middlel
sex mills and one on East Burke
street had not ben burning for
some time, and the matter was
placed in the hands of the light
committee with instructions to
act at once. Several minor
matter were discussed after
which the meeting adjourned,
1t is probable that another
special session will be called in
a few days to receive the re.
ports of the various committees
as the work of paving will star

The levy for this fiscal year has
been laid at As cents; as cents being
for county purposes and the other ?
cents to raise money to pay on the
bonded Indebtedness. 1t was not
necessary for the court to pay any of
this indebtedness, as it does not have
to be paid for twenty years yet. At
first, the court made the levy 50 cents
against the protest of Commissioner
Stuckey, but after careful delibera-
ton, and having been closeted with a
prominent attorney, the court deemed
l wise to take Mr.. Stuckey's advice
and lower the levy, so as to keep
within the bonds of the law.
