CHARTER MUST
BE AMENDED
OR THERE CAN BE NO BONDS is
SUED FOR WATER WORKS
WITHOUT TWO ELEc-
TIoNs.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
| am pleased to note. that the city
council in special session with the
bond trustees have accepted all the
recommendations that l suggested re-
garding bond bill in the letter 10
The Journal, in which l suggested
the calling of mass meeting. As
every desirable feature has been adopt
ed and win be sent to our representa-
tives at Tallahassee it has obviated
the necessity for mass meeting for
this purpose.
There Is one feature of this matter
to which desire to direct especial at
tention. The present bill provides
for an issue of bonds subject to the
majority vote Of the property holders
at an election held for the purpose OF
deciding on the issue of bonds. So
far as that goes it is probably all right
but uniess the city charter is amend
cd there can be no bonds issued for a
city water works without holding two
elections.
Tackled on to the latter end of the
city charter we find this remarkable
provision:
The city may acquire, manage and
control water works by construction
or purchase, by vote of twothirds
of the council, provided the same is
approved by majority of twothirds
of the qualified voters of the city at an
election held for the purpose of passing
upon said question"
Let us see what this means:
he <r.
32o0, eco bonds to buy or build new
water works under this law. So far
so good. Before those bonds can be
issued under the present city charter
the question must be submitted to al
the qualified voters Of the city and
must receive a majority Of two-tfird.
of all the voters, whether they vote Of
not, IN order to become legal.
! The registration books would un
deubtedly be the authority as to This
/ number of qualified voters. These
books now show about 340e name.
registered in the city. OF course there
is no such number Of voters, for man,
names appear on the books in severa
precincts, besides names Of men dea.
or moved away II these books wer'
taken for authority, which would prob
ably be the only authority in the case
then a bond election for water works
after being carried in an election b!
the property holders, would have Il
secure 2268 votes in another election
for this purpose. When we stop t
| think that no hotly contested cit,
election has carried a thousand vote
on one ticket then it dawns upon u
how very hard 1t would be to carr.
1853 votes on the single proposition o
q water works. especially with plent.
Of money against the proposition
How this very peculiar provision
came to be tackled on to the end o
the city charter may never be explain
ed. but to my mind it displays tn
zine italian hand of an expert.
We want the bond bill but we wan
equally as bad this amendment. VIVA
IS the sense of holding two election
or the same question: What Is tn
use of having a bond election If tn
charter provision makes It yer
easy matter. to defeat it in the end?
Let this provision Of the charter D

For some time it has been known

Think Oil VIII Soon Make Adj
vance in Price.
At Erie Several Leases Quit
Pumping for a Time.
Some of the Producers Think
Only the Standard Can Relieve.

Chanute, Kan, May 27.-This city
as an oil town is only a dream of what
it was a year ago. The oil speculation
has vanished, and only the actual
operator remains. The contractor and
the driIler have moved on to keep
pace with the advance of operations.
Dozens of signs still swing to the
breeze, but once familiar faces are
gone. The merry clang of the cIank-
ing Jars is heard possibly in other
fields and the familiar song of its
walking beam has ceased. Today
Chanute is not much different than
most other Kansas towns.
A year age sixty to eighty wells a
month were being completed in this
field. This month there have been
only about eleven competitions, and OF
these five were either gas or dry.
There are now only five or six strings
OF tools running. Still oil men are
hopeful of the future and not one of
them but looks for an early change
for the better. There is only one
thing quite noticeable in Chanute-
YOU can hear almost any kind of
''news" here you want; if it is some
thing to jolly you, you can get it; or
if it is something to give you the indi-
goes, you can get that dished up to

day. Accompanying the officials were
500 guests. The dedication exercises
took place on a platform at the east
approach of the bridge. Governor
Folk of Missouri, who made the dedi-
catory address, said the Thebes
bridge placed in direct communica-
ton two vast sections, the north and
central west and the south and south
west. Other addresses were made by
prominent railroad men.
Bridge building on the Mississippi
river has never been attended with so
many distinguishing features interest
ing to workers in many lines as has
this new structure.
This bridge forms a. new and great
gateway from Chicago to the south
It has cost 100000.
1t has cost sixteen human lives.
It has required three years to
It is built at a grade of only one
half of 1 per cent.
It has no draw and clears boats at
high water mark.
It is four miles long, counting the
approaches in both states.
It has twelve of the largest concrete
arches on the Mississippi.
It required the use of $4,000 bar
re1s of cement. It used up Ia, 900 tons
of steel. The double track may be
crowded with the heaviest locomotives
It is the only bridge that took its
steel superstructure from two float
ing trains of ten and twelve cars
each.
1t is the only bridge that built its
pneumatic caissOns on barges whence
they were launched into the river.
1t is the only bridge that was built
by a special company formed of five
general managers of five great railway
systems.
It's grade is such as to make it ad-
vantageous to double St. Louis south
western freight across the Mississippi
It has reiuvenated one OF the Oldest
Illinois towns and caused new one TO
be built in Missouri.
It has caused the building Of an Hi
nois railroad 129 miles long at a grade
of but seven feet to the mile.
1t is approached by one road that is
required to pass around a loop 20 miles
in circumference in order to reach its
level
It is a triumph of engineering skill
that has been furnished from the shops
and drafting rooms of Chicago.
The low grade of the bridge is its pre-
dominating feature. Before it was built
the bridge at Memphis was said to be
the lowest on the river. It is IA per
cent on one side of the river and IA per
cent on the other side. The Thebes
bridge has been built and approached
at a grade of one-haf of 1 per cent.
Both of the St Louis bridges have
sleeper grades.
1t is claimed that on account of this
grade feature a large tonnage of freight
will be diverted from Memphis and st.
Louis; that the great bulk Of the south
western lines of the Gould system Will
be brought across at Thebes, and some
of the southwestern freight destined for
St. Louis will cross the river on the
new bridge, run up the cast side Of the
river in Illinois, and tn ne De sent DacA
