Dear Sir-The dredge Everglades Is still cutting

dredge she cut her way through the hardest, and
today we find 1t some softer.

morrow, and will then begin putting on the
sheathing. In general the work is all progress.

cations, which are made for State lands recog
nized and considered, there would not be single
acre OF State lands but what would be literally
plastered with applications and options were any
priority given in this matter
There has been a sight modification OF late to
this established rule, by the Board OF Internal I'm
provement Trustees, to the effect that where
State lands are desired applicants may present
the matter to the board, which, however, does not
commit itself by promise or agreement that lands
Will be sold to such applicants
The particular lands in question, the Jennings
purchase, had been withdrawn by the Trustees az
ter suits were instituted against the board and It
was natural that the Trustees would make no SAFE
until they could investigate and determine IL prop
er that these lands should go on the market, al
otherwise IL they would have so decided, the
courts might have granted injunCtions preventing
the sale.
When 1t was found that the lands were such as
could not be drained-these lands being subjec:
to tide water-the area was put on the market anu
sold to Mr.. jennings at price which the Trus
tees felt was the full market value.
Out Of an abundance of caution the Trustees
could take this position. They have done no
more, In temporarily Withholding these lands from
ing the phosphate boom and the time when Orange
lands commanded high prices Similarly the
State School Board withdrew all school lands
from the market and afterwards, without notice to
the public, decided, by the authority vested la
them that 1t was proper to sell school lands.
II never has been customary to advertise that
any piece or tract or body OF land was going to be
sold.
At Mr.. McLin's ONCE at the Capitol no lists are
kept of people who apply, by letter or In person,
for lands that are not In the market. Neither has
there ever been printed a list of the swamp and
overfowed lands on the market.

Normal Transfer of Property Made Yesterday by George Poster Peabody, the New York
 Phllanthr0plst.

With the filing of the proper legal papers with Probate Judge J. B. Gaston yesterday, the promise of George Eos ter Peabody of New York. made two years ago to the Young Women's Chris tian Association, was fulfilled. and the old Baldwin homestead, at the corner of Adams and South Perry Streets. passed into the hands of that organi- zation.
 Although this place. comprising three lots, has virtually been the property of the Y. w. c. A. since November, in virtue of the payment of $10,000 to the New York philanthropy. at that time. it was not until yesterday that the transaction was legalized. with the filing of the transfer papers.
 Several years ago. MT. Peabody pur- chased the Baldwin place, and made improvements on the property, until the total cost to- him amounted to 32o,000. This property he offered to give to the Y. w. C. A. if they would raise $1o,ooo. this sum to go to the Young Mems Christian Association. Through subscription and donations this sum was raised and last November paid over to MT. Peabody. who prompt ly turned it over to the Y. NJ C. A. The papers filed yesterday bear the date of December il. only short time after the payment, although they were not forwarded to Montgomery until day or two ago.
 Now that the building is in law, as well as in fact, the property of the Y. w. e. A. plans are being made to enlarge it so that 1t may accommodate more of the young working women of the city. who wish to make their homes with the Association. At present there are eighteen or twenty young ladies living at the place, the majority of whom are stenog- raphers and saleswomen. There are many applications, however. which cannot be granted for lack of accom- modation.
 The new plans which will be per fected in a short time will include the addition of wings to the building. which will contain room sufficient to contain in the neighborhood of fifty more young women.
