able that this check will be duplicated
here and counted among the receipts OF
the foreign board for the convention year.
This will greatly reduce the debt. and
It is not improbable that tho remainder
will be wiped out before this convention

SANTA ROSA
ISLAND BREAKS
Are Not So Serious AS
At First Thought They
Would Be.
Mallory, Stillman and Turtle
Visit Them.
ARE NOW PRACTICALLY cLosEr
AND WHILE SOME WORK WILL
PROBABLY BE NECESSARY, THE
JOB WILL NOT BE AS BIG AS
AT FIRST ANTICIPATED.

Senator S. R. Mallory and Collector
J. E. Stillman, the special committee
appointed by the Chamber Of Com
merce to investigate the condition Of
the breaks in Santa Rosa island,
which were previously noted in these
columns, yesterday paid a visit to
those places and found them in a
much less dangerous condition than
was imagined existed there.
The committee was fortunate in Sc
curing the presence of Capt. ]. E.
Turtle, who accompanied them on the
trip and inspected the breaks.
The condition of the island is much
better than it appeared to be imme,
diately after the storm. The two
breaks, one at the place known as fish
ermen's crossing and the other, about
a mile and a half to the westward, are
now practically closed. Each one
still has a small opening, but neither
is sufficient even to admit the pas
sage of a small boat and both appear
to be closing up rapidly. The island
at those places is practically fiat, the
heavy seas having leveled it to posi-
bly, within three feet of tide level, but
the sand seems to be making up AGAR
and. it is possible that within a shor
time the same action of the elements
that cast this narrow island up ant
maintained it for so many hundred
years will again build up the sane
sea wall as it was before the recen
storm
Capt Turtle will make a report OF
the condition of these places in day
or two, and Senator Mallory and Col
lector Stillman will then know wha
action to recommend to the Chamber
of Commerce. All three gentlemen
are very much pleased with the i'm
proved conditions at the points inves
tigated and, while it is quite likel!
that some work will have to be done
there, it will hardly require the worl
that, was at first thought would b'
necessary.
