Britain, Spain or the United States.
4th. The fact that they have been

old city above high water mark, and

refused to give any deeds to the
claimants for either the land above

did give deed to the city for all

CITY'S POSITION ON THE
WATERFRONT QUESTION

the Plaza and Seville Square, and the
portion of Main street lying between
Alcaniz and Florida Blanca streets.
Had the city retained the property
that 1t had originally and had it, in
stead of selling it or giving it away
Or allowing squatters to take it, it
would to-day have enough revenue
from the same for rentals to pay all
the expenses OF the city and relieve
the citizens of taxation.
1t is not my purpose to enter into
any criticism of past administrations
for the alienation of public property
or to show any reason or cause why
such has been allowed, l simply
state the fact that it has been done.
There has been considerable de-
mand by citizens that the city retain
the property that It, now has, and to
recover the property that belongs to
it and Is unlawfully held by others.
Squatter Titles.
In years past the city has allowed
any and everybody that desired to
squat upon the water front of the
city, and a great many titles to prop
erty along the water front have been
acquired in this way, and the state
ment is indisputed that some men
have become very wealthy through
accommodating property that has been
left open or unencumbered.
The property over which so much
has been said lately, which is now in
litigation, is a portion of Main street
lying between Alcaniz and Florida
Blanca streets, ON the water front
which the city has never sold or part
ed with IN any manner, and which
has never been owned by anybody
but which has been sQuatted upon by
fishermen. and negroes and people
having avocations on the water, boat
Ing and otherwise. This part Of the
beach has been encountered with
huts and shacks for a great many
years. About eight years ago Mr.
William Fisher got possession of con,
siderable of this land and has since
sold some OF 1t to others and claims
about eight lots Of it to-day. Mr.
Walker Gonzalez claims a number Oh
lots. The remaining lots are divided
among a few small claimants.

STUCK TO 1T
For Years But Finally Had to Give

Our habits of eating and drinking
stick to US like a hungry pup to a
bone. We can't always break loose
even when we know we ought to.
Coffee does certainly hurt many
persons, and they know it. But 1t
Is one thing to know it and another
to devise some way to change the
habit and still have warm beverage
at meal time. Thousands OF persons
al over the world have found it easy
to quit coffee because they use Pos

vestige Of encumbrances on this
beach away, and, as the city would
undoubtedly sooner or later endeavor
to reclaim this property it was con-
hidered very opporCune time to do
so while there were no encumbrances.
1t would hardly lock fair to the city
to allow people to reference and re-
build upon this property, and, in the
course of a few Inonths or a few
years, to enter suit to dispossess
them. II the property belongs to the
city the title to it should be settled
now, IL it does not belong to the
city the title to 1t should be settled
now; If it does not belong to the city
but TO others, then the title should
be settled To prevent the city from
ever interfering with them in the flu
ture Had the city allowed the claim.
ants of this property to rebuild upon
it and then entered suit against them
to diSpOSsess them there would have
gone up cry of indignation because
the city had not entered suit before
the parties built and it would undoubt-
eddy have been claimed that the city
was very unjust in not entering suit
before the people rebuilt.
city's Position.
The city's position Is simply this:
The property according to all the evil
dence belongs to the city and it has
taken possession of what belongs to
it. If the property does not belong
to the city, then the city wants the
courts to say so. and 1t will then keep
it's hands off forever. If the property
belongs to the city it intends to keep
it from being encountered by others
The city took precisely the same
position in regard to the city proper
ty on Cypress street between Com
mandancia street and Baylen street,
where Mr.. E. E. Saunders had a
wharf. 1 understand from counsel
that Mr.. Saunders acknowledges the
city's right, and this property has
been reclaimed.
There has been a great deal of
criticism In certain quarters regard
ing the action Of the city In endeavor-
ing to reclaim the property along the
water front, but this has largely been
politics and the claims and assertions
have consisted more largely of false
hood than of a statement of facts.
A great deal has been said of what
the Water Front Commission did and
did not do. The fact of the matter
Is that the Water Front Commission
had absolutely nothing to do with the
property in question. The property
the city Is endeavoring to reclaim be-
