Bids for the erection Of the propos-
ed new city hall in Pensacola were
opened yesterday by the Board Of Bond
Trustees, Chairman Green and Mr..
Hyer being present. After mature de-
liberation the bids were rejected by
the board as being too high, and out
with which to construct the building.
The following submitted bids which
were turned down: Owens & Son,
Jacksonville; G. H. Turner. s. F. Full
CHAM, Pensacola; E c. Seiz Company,
George Ittner. Atlanta.
From what could be ascertained yes
terday it Is understood that the plans
and specifications will be referred to
the architect who drew and framed the
same. 1t is also understood that the
Board Of Bond Trustees may make
recommendation 10 the council that
authority he granted for a modification
of the plans and specifications, in or
der that a building can be erected
with the amount Of money on hand,
remaining out Of the appropriation OF
SIS, 900 OF the bond issue.
Out of the $75, 900 the sum of $4,000
has been expended for property on
which to erect the city hall building.
The Bond Matter.
In order that a faint conception OF
the city hall and Jail bond matter
might be given the public, the follow
ing recommendation Of the finance
committee anent the question, which
was submitted and adopted at a meet
ing in October is herewith TeprOduc-
ed:
1--WE would suggest that 100000
to be raised from city hall and Jail
bonds might be appropriated adVanJ-
ageOusIy as follows. viz:
City Hail.. o.. ... boO,OOO
Property. e. I5,OOO
'Remodeling building for Re
corder's court, ETC.. .....-. 5000
JAIL. zee. 1l,VVV
100000
New Bids.
The figures quoted above tell the
amount Of money left with which To
erect a city hall It is stated that in
many respects building material has
advanced since the adoption Of the
Of the finance COM .
mittee. Again it is said that the only
material in the building line that has
shown a great advance is that OF
bricks. which may have advanced as
much as % per cent.
In view of the action of the Board
Of Bond Trustees in rejecting the bids i,
there is only one more thing TO do, re-
advertise for bids. OF course this will
not be done. until it is definitely de-
,ided whether or not the plans and
specifications for the building are to
be modified.
The city council will meet in regu-
ar session Wednesday evening, when
i is expected that the matter will
come up. when a date will be selected
'or the reception and opening Of pro
1osals.
Two Reflections.
The Board of Bond Trustees haW
been called upon on two separate oc
,asions within a short period to 70
feet bids for public improvements.
The first was the sanitary and storm
sewer bids, which were refused as be-
ng too high and the bids for the city
hall yesterday.

His moustache had just begun to
sprout and judging from his men
tai faculties were not as well devel-
oped as his moustache. During
our brief stay upon earth we have
seen many just such young men
cold in death. We have seen the
atheist at rest in his .casket, but
before being consigned to their
last resting place they have all
been carried through the doors of
a church and had prayers said over
them. This young man could scott
at religion in his strength and
beauty of health, but if the dark
angel should get after him he
would instinctively regret what he
said and look into the future with
fear and trembling. When one
stands before the open door of e.
ternity his desire to scott at relig-
ion vanishes. We admit there are
bad men in the church, but even
these black sheep in the flock
might be blacker if they were out
