THE NEW GOVERNOR OF
THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Jacksonville Times-Union.)

1t is now Governor Napoleon 3.
Broward. At Tallahassee at noon yes
terday, with elaborate inaugural cere-
monies, he took the oath OF Office and
assumed the duties as chief executive
of the state. The new administration
goes in under bright auspices. Never
before was the state in better financial
condition or had brighter. outlook
for the future. ID
We believe that Governor Broward
and the efficient members Of his cabi.
net will continue the condition and
cope with every new complication that
may arise, getting all out of it. tina.
is possible for the betterment of the
state and its people
From time to time there has ap
peared in the press of the state the
query, who will control, Broward?"
Those who know the new governor
best aver that he is too manly man
too honest, sincere and capable to per.
nit anyone TO do his thinking for him
that he will weigh well every state
question that may arise and act con-
scientiously in every case as he be,
lieves to be for the best interests of
FLORIDA and Floridians.
The Times Union believes this to
be true. 1t does not believe. that the
new executive will permit factional
prejudices or factional influences to
sway any of his acts, that he will al
no time be the governor of faction,
but at all times the governor of the
whole people of Florida.
Believing thus, the Times Union ex.
tends hearty greeting to the new gov.
ernor and wishes for him and his adj
ministTation four years of fruitful ac
tivity, progress and increasing pros
perity, giving assurance that it will
be ever watchful to chronicle the com.
mendable accomplishments. making no
special effort to pick flaws or to criti
else. HS
Florida has had an unbroken chain
Of able, efficient and energetic COVER
nors from the days of Drew, and each
new administration has found abun-
dant work to do in the upbuilding of
the state. Florida's progress is not
yet at the topnost crest of the wave
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-01-05

There are weighty problems for the
new administration to solve and a
fruitful field for notable achievement.
Governor Broward is a modest man,
but he is ambitious. He is blessed
with good health, fine physique,
great energy and endurance, and in
his private business affairs he has
demonstrated that he has marked ex-
ecutive ability. Everything is, there
fore. in his favor for making con-
spicuously fine record. and the Times
Union wishes for him every success
in whatever he may undertake for the
betterment and progress of Florida

WOMAN BUYS vAGRANT LOT.


II strays From Tuckahoe Into Yonkers
with the Help ot the Bronx ,isiver.
YoNKERs Aug. 2s.-Aftsr buying a plot
OF land supposed to be In the town Of East
Chester ma. Catherine Connolly OF TuCka-
hoe finds that she Ia in the, city Of Yonkers,
and that both Yonkers and Fast Chester
have her lot assessed. The changing OF
the course Of the Bronx River Is supposed
to have caused the trouble.
On May II Mrs. Connolly bought build
ing lot in Yonkers Park. She made the
purchase under the impression that her
property was in the village of Tuckahoe.
When she was about to build she was told
that part of her lot was in Yonkers, and
that abe had best submit plans to the build
ing inspector Of this city.
For some reason Mrs. Connolly is
-prejudiced against holding real estate
here and she was greatly disappointed.
This morning she visited building Inspector
MYERS. and he conducted her to the Office
OF the Board Of Assessors, where still more
,,nweloome news awaited her. The assessors
said that lot 2, block II. Yonkers Park,
inside the city limits and was assess ID
and taxed by the city Of Yonkers.
Itappears that the course OF the Bronx Riv-
ar. which was the dividing line, has changed
and that only q part Of the lot now lies on
this side OF the river, the village Of Tuck ahoe
claiming the other part "a within its jurts-
diction. She was still more perp!exed
when informed that the lot is to be taxed
in the town Of East Chester also.

Meanwhile the bell ringing In the eleva-

She found the elevator stopped by Gan
