So|ons Seem to Be in
Rather an Embarrassing
Position
WILL THEY COLLECT BOND?
Not Generally Believed That City Can
Go to Court and Collect the
Bond-Counci Must Solve
The Situation.

What's going to be done with that
trolley franchise? What's the situa-
ton, anyway?
That is the question being pro-
pounded almost hourly by Brunswick
business men. But who can answer
it? Not even the members of coun-
Gil.
The .laLChise granted to ]. II. Neff,
of Jacksonville, expires in just six
days-August 10. By that time four
miles of the road was to have beel
completed or the bond of $4,000 fur
nished by Neff was to be forfeited.
Will the city collect the bond? Well,
hardly.
Now going into the matter seriously
there is much speculation as to what
will be done by the city council in
the matter The solons raeet on
Thursday night of the present week,
which will be the last session held be-
fore August 10. What action they
will take is q puzzle ana it is known
10 be fact that it is puZzling some
Of the members Of the council even
more than it is the taxpayers. They
are facing a most embarrassing posi-
tion and just how they will get out
remains to be seen.
Way back yonder, several months
ago, three Or four little sapplings were
brought ITO the city and stuck in
the ground. This was done to carry
out that portion of the contract which
required that work should begin in
three months. These little sapplings
cost about ten cents each. That's the
extent of the expense that Neff ami
his associates have gone to in the er-
ection of trolley line i'll Brunswick
Neff has failed in every essentia.
way in his contract with the city. He
has not even made a noise like a
man who intends to build a trolley
line
Some of the members of council,
of course, when asked about the mat
ter came back with the reply that
Neff is waiting on the light and water
company and the city to settle the
arbitration over the plant of the water
company. That's the only excuse they
can discover, and it is surely a thin
and weak one. AS matter of fact
that has nothing whatever to do with
the trolley line. Four miles was to
have been completed and in operation
by August 10. 1t will certainly take
some speedy and record breaking ell
ectric line construction to fulfill the
contract
None of the members of council
seem to be in position to say what
will be done. and the matter is GER
tainly not going to die without a
funeral. The city administration had
an opportunity to give Brunswick a
trolley line and it is now up to them
TO know why it was not done. There
are parties in Brunswick and els
where who are anxious to build line
here who have been for some time :;
men prominent financially but
they dare not ask for franchise. af.
ter the treatment accorded a local
company last year. It is up to the
council to solve the problem, and,
the people, who have been the suffer
ers by their former actions, are only
waiting to see how the matter is to
be settled,
But here's pointer: Nef will nev.
er build the trolley line and the coun.
Gil will never collect that 100000 bond

rHE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Periodically Observed at The Lake
And Thoroughly Enjoyed.

A better day never broke for the
celebration of our country's natal
day than Wednesday, the air being
clear and pure, the sun bright and
warm, with just sufficient breeze
TO make the atmosphere pleasant

|Glory" in becoming manner.
Owing to the short time at our
disposal in which to catch the mails
Today with this issue, our mention
|Df the proceedings of yesterday, the
|day of days for the American people,
must necessarily be brief. The
program as published was carried
|out with little alteration and
some additions to it that in no way
detracted from it. A large number
Of people from Roseberry and other
statements in the valley attended.
The day was ushered in with fir
ing of salute, etc. The boat pro-
cession from the wharf to the pic
mic grounds at Sand Point was a
very pleasing feature of the cele-
bration. The steamer had been
gaily decked with bunting for the
occasion, and the barge containing
the float with it's precious burden,
the Goddess of Liberty and her
Maids and Guards, was beautifully
decorated with national flags and
bunting. The goodies looked very
pure and sweet in her becoming
robe and appropriate crown. A

most beautiful sight from the shore
was the procession as it steamed up
the lake to its destination accom-
panied by sweet music.
The program was very good
The orators, H. G. Warner and
Harry L. Fisher, did themselves
proud, and we regret not being able
TO give more extended mention of
their efforts. The singing of "Star
Spangled Banner" was good, but
would have been much better had
the crowd joined in. The Flag drill
by little girls was fine. A very
pleasing addition to the program
was given by travelling musical
family and was much enjoyed. The
sports were eagerly entered into and
thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing was
lndulged in at the picnic grounds
during the day and in the fine new
hall at night. Three booths dis
pensed excellent refreshments at the
grounds. The fireworks made a
splendid display on the lake, which
looked beautiful lit up by colored
fires and other fireworks. All con-
nected with the days success are
deserving of much credit.

blunder. Gen. Mcclellan had $4,000

Union army ought to have been pushed
forward without delay, thereby causing
the rebels to retreat or surrender. The

portunity to fortify the narrow space of

Williamsburg, where Fort Magruder and
