As soon as City Recorder Critchlow
finished reading City Auditor Felt's
communication. Councilman Black be
gan "jockeying' to have consideration
of the assessment deferred for a week
or longer But with the exception OF
two or three others the cOunciImen
wanted TO FIX the levy and have done
with it. and he met with Scant en-
cOuragement in his efforts to bring
about delay.
BY consultation with Assistant City
Attorney W. H. BrameL the council
men learned that they could not make
the proposed levy of so mills for
streets as the law does not permit
more than mills 10 be levied for that
purpose. so il became necessary to
determine what amount should 90 to
the streets and what the other depart
ments should get on a basis different
from the city auditors estimates With
the possible exception of Black. the
cOuncilmen all seemed in favor Of al
lowing as much as could be spared for
the Improvement of the public streets
Black FiIibusters in Vain.
Various motions. counter motions and
substitute motions were made with a
view to making the total of the levy
10, 1G1z and II mills These motions
were made by Hewlett, A, J. Davis.
Barnes and others. While the discus
sion was at its height, Black moved TO
take a recess until Friday night. but
attracted little or no attention A mo-
ment later he succeeded in interrupt
ing the proceedings long enough 20 get
the semi monthly appropriation Ordin-
ance taken up and passed. Then he got
his motion 10 take recess considered.

Within twenty minutes after the

work kept the fire sufficiently under
control To save the adjoining brick
store buildings. But for this the
whole of the business part OF Nash

stroyed. Some few things were saved
but practically nothing. The loss is
estimated at $4,000 to $4,000 With
only $270o insurance. Five Of the
buildings belonged to w. j. Floyd, the
others to j. Q. Caps.
The cause Of the fire is not known
but some think ii was the work Of an

mated from q defective fiue in the res

a residence in his district In Florida.
During the proceeding the question of
the right of the House managers to
object to questions put to witnesses
b ySenators was raised but the pre-
siding officer ruled that such objeC-
tons might be stated. The precedent
quoted were to the effect that while
questions by Senator's should be adj
nitted counsel could properly object
to the admissibility of replies made
to them.
The first witness was A. H. D'Allen-
bert. tax collector of Escamhia coun-
ty. Fla. Mr.. Hopkins was among the
Senator'S who propounded the queS-
ton as to whether man can be resi-
dent of that country without being a
taxpayer.
Manager Palmer objected that the
question is one of law and not of fact.
