BOYS TO TAKE
PART IN CARNIVAL
SCHEME ON FOOT TO HAVE
PROCESSION OF FLOATS
DRAWN BY GOATS.

If the present plans of a
number of Pensacola boys ma
terialize, one of the features
of the next Mardi Gras celebration
will be a procession of floats drawn
by goats. The youngsters are deep
ly impressed with the idea that they
should lend their assistance toward
making next years carnival a big
success. and with that object in
view have undertaken to organize a
special feature Of their own.
According to present plans a King
Of the boys carnival will be select
ed by lot, who will ride in state at
the heaal of the procession upon a
chariot drawn by several pairs of
goats. The Kings float will be fol-
lowed by small floats, each drawn
by one or two goats. and it is anti
cipated that at least a dozen floats
will be in the parade,
The youngsters who have hit upon
this unique scheme are enthusiastic
and declare they will carry II
through. 1t will undoubtedly add
much to the celebration.

Of the wharf was burned, and the
fishing smack the Caldwell H. Colt
had her jib slightly damaged by
flying sparks.
The origin of the blaze is I'M
known. Captain William Hays, a
member of the Warren Fish Com
Pany, stated yesterday that he was
firmly of the opinion that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. In
this opinion he is substantiated to a
certain extent by Chief Bicker of
the fire department, who states that
the FIRE has a suspicious tinge.
The building destroyed was one of
the best fitted for the fishing bust
ness in this section of the country.
The Warren Company had their
own sail room and employed from
three 10 five sail makers at all
times, storage room. chsndlery room
and other stores. All these were de
strOyed and all that remains is a
portion of the front building. In ad-
ditiOn to the loss of the building and

Captain Hays Statement.
Captain Hays in discussing the
fire and its origin stated in most en-
phatic terms that the blaze was due
to incendiaTism.
There was no combustfble matter
in the building anywhere" said
Captain Hays, and therefore the
fire could have been started only by
an incendiary. The people in this
section of the city are not afforded
the proper fire protection. We pay
taxes, and good sums at that Think
Of having to stretch a hose over
1000 feet to reach the fire. We our
selves have a private plug right at
the corner of our stable but our
hose was burned and therefore we
were pOwerless.

| pile or sold for junk.

HUNTING AN EXPERT.
Kansas Avenue Property Owners
Want an Asphalt Man.

An asphalt expert VIII be called into
consultation by the Kansas avenue pro-
pertys owners who are planning to re-
pave Kansas avenue.
I'VE haven't secured the man. we
want yet" said c. =. Jewell, a member
of the special committee to secure in
formation about the repaving of the
street. I'VE are taking our time about
it. We don't want any man that is an
agent for any firm or corporation; Z we
can get plenty of that kind OF men;
they are bobbing up everywhere. What
we want is thoroughly reliable, well
informed expert who can come here and
tell us what ought to be done.
We are not going into this until we
have reliably informed ourselves as to
what ought to be done. That scheme of
p company formed by the property own
eEs is still all in the air and we are
not going to take out any charter this
coming week. 1t may be possible that
nothing of that sort viii ever take place.
The whole thing is so undecided that
1t is impossible to say what will be
done This committee can't inform
themselves in a few days. It's big
question and one which takes time to
solve There is the legal side of all
this too Mr.. GODDARD has this in charge
and viii soon give us a written opinion
upon all of the legal points involved in
this matter of repaYing. However, we
are not going to depend upon him sole
ly but we VIII call in additional coun-
sci. We are going to do this thing up
right and not in a half way manner.
Before we take up anything at all we
will submit the whole to the property
owners who viii be called together to
endorse whatever action seems advisa-
BILE to the members of the committee"
IF the property owners do really form
a company to pave Kansas avenue and
enter bid for the work the bid will
have to be as low or lower than the
other bids which may be submitted to
do the work" said Councilman S. A.
Swcndson, chairman of the streets and
walks committee.
This opinion receives the endorsement
of all of the members of the council.
I'VE don't propose to let the contract
to the company of the property owners
unless the bid they submit can COM
pare favorably with other competing
bids" say the councilmen.
A majority of the eouncilmen think
that a company such as has been talk
ed of is feasible but they are all against
Z any proposition which snaclzs of an at
tempt to make the city at large pay for
the plant or in anyway pay the cost of
the pavement.
Letters have been addressed by the
property owners committee to the cities
of Omaha, Allegheny City, Pa, Detroit,
St. Joseph, and the government asphalt
expert at Washington, D. G. The let
tiers in every instance ask for infOrma-
ton upon certain phases of the asphalt
paving question.
