BEARD APPEALS
TO EsCAMb|A
VOTERS
Says 1t is Duty of Every
Qualified Citizen to Cast
Ballot Tuesday.

John s. Beard, democratic nominee
for the state senate, has issued the
following address to the voters of
Escambia county: = - / s ~
Mr.. Boards, Appeal. ~
To the Voters Of Escambia County:
I earnestly urge every qualified
voter to cast his vote for3the straight
democratic ticket, on election day,
which is Tuesday, November 9Th.
There is opposition TO the democratic
ticket in this county. The socialists
have ticket in the field While this
county is democratic by a large ma
jority. many a battle has been lost
by the apathy born Of over cBnfi-
denee. No voter should feel that it 10
his neighbours duty to vote and not
his.
To cast his vote is a duty which
every citizen, who is qualified, owes
to the community.
There will be many important
measures which affect the welfare of
the state and county before the next
legislature The prestige OF large
majority at home will strengthen your
senator and representatives in the
legislature, and enable them to accom-
plish more for your good. Again l
urge all democrats, and all other
voters, who have the good of their
county and state at heart to turn
out on Tuesday. November 9Th and
vote the straight democratic ticket.

Mayor VIII Protect City.
Nov. 1st, 1906
Hon. l.. Hilton Green,
Chairman Board of Bond Trustees.
City,
Dear Sir:
have before me your letter OF
Oct. 31st advising me that Architect
Ausfeld reports to your board that
the best known brand of cement is
being used in the construction of the
new CITY hall and that no damaged
cement has been or is being used in
the said building and that great care
IS being exercised by the contractor
in mixing the concrete, etc, and that
the architect reports that the work so
far has been we'll executed.
The mayor desires to say to the
Board of Bond Trustees that the
brand of cement being used has not
been questioned. that the brand has
been considered one of the best ce-
ments made. But, no matter how
good a brand of cement may be nor
how good the cement may be In fact,
il that cement is exposed to water
or dampness it deteriorates in value
and is not fit for use for which good
cement Is intended.
II Is a fact well known to the may
or and to the Board of Public Works
as well as to the contractor for the
new city hall. and should be to all
the parties interested, that the cement
which is now being used in the con-
struction of the city hall was exposed
to the water in the recent hurricane
which destroyed one of the buildings
in which portion Of the cement was
stored and greatly damaged the other
building in which the other portion
was stored, and that water ran down
over this cement until large quanti-
ties of it became hard as rock, and
other quantities partially "set," and
that this cement. or as much of IL
as can be pulverized. is being used in
the construction Of the foundation of
the new city hall.

before the Board of Public Works
that he does not know when the foun-
dalton was begun, that he was not

The MAYORS Duty.

Pensacola, Fla, oct. 26th, 1906,
Hon. Chas. H Bliss,
Mayor, City of Pensacola.
Dear Sir:
Late last evening received Sec
ond communication from you in re-
gard to the new city hall.
1 am not standing on ceremony as
to whose duty it may be to take &C
ton in the matter referred to, and |
have called upon uhe architect to
give immediate attention thereto.
In regard to the question you raise,
it is not for this board to give an
opinion thereon, but since you men
ton it. l may say that it appears to
me that if the Board of Public Works
has no official knowledge that the
city hall Is being built and that work
on the sewerage, etc., Is commencing,
it is about time that it was informed
of the same by the mayor. The act
of the legislature governing this bust
ness the ordinance passed by the
council, and the contracts with the
architect. the engineer and the con-
tractors for the city hall and sewer
age, etc., all provide that the work
shall be done under the supervision
of the Board of Public Works. do
not think therefore, that any act or
failure tosaet on the part OF the coun
Gil, as suggested by you, can in any
way effect the law, and l suggest that
it is the duty OF the mayor As chief
executive of the city to call the at,
tention of the Board of Public Works
to what, it would appear, is it's duty
in the matter
