The Military Road Bill
Is Not Satisfactory.

The military road bill as reported
to the house, providing for the con-
struction OF a government road from
Fort BArrancas past the National
Cemetery and across the military
and naval reservations in the direc-
ton of Pensacola on condition that
either the city, county, or state con
struct the balance of the road to the
city, is not satisfactory.
Either the road between Fort
Barrancas and Pensacola is a mill
tary necessity or it is not one. If il
is not one, then there is no occasion
for building any Of it. If it is one
then the government should build the
whole road without imposing any
conditions Of assistance on the part
Of the city, county, or state.
The distance from the government
building in the city to Fort Barrancss
is practically seven miles, divided as
follows: within the city limits to

should be effected exactly as the
election of candidates to office by the
general public is effected, 1t there
fore believes that the state should
bear the expense of the primary cleo
ton just as it bears the expense u
the general election.
This idea is not based on consid-
Grafton for the candidate alone. but
chiefly because such a system will en-.

fairly true expression of the popu-
lar will.
And when we are able to secure in
our political system what majority
of the people honestly desire, we
shall be very close to the ideal in

RELATIVE VALUE
OF FISH AND MEAT.
Jacksonville Times-UEion

1t does not follow that cheapness
implies lack of value. A German
professor. and practical chemist has
investigated the comparative nutri-
tive value of fish and meat, with both
men and animals for subjects, and
finds that though differing somewhat,
they are Of equal value as a whole
ration. contrary to the general opin'
ion in this country. AS much muscu-
lar and brain work can be done on
a pound of fish as on a pound of
meat, and 1t may well be that we
have held the contrary opinion main
ly because our length of coast line,
our great rivers and lakes. have
made fish cheaper and so worked
upon our idea that money set the
value on every commodity.
But the report has yet; another
value to us. 1t notes the efforts of
the German government since the
rise in price of butchers meat to
help the fishermen by dredging har-
bors and preparing shelters for the
fishing fleet, and in many WAYS by
encouraging 'the high sea fisheries. -
It notes that in 1884 Geestemunde
launched her first steam Vessel for
fishing on the high seas. Today she
had over a hundred of these fishing
steamers and as many sailisg vessels
as ever. German fisheries yield now
thirty times the production of twenty
years ago. The sea fish are sold at
auction on coming into port. Last
year Geestemunde alone sold fifty
million pounds of fish! The help af.
fOrded by the government is in the
Improvement of the harbor for which
it has spent seven million marks, and
so has decreased the market for
American meats, as well as kept
down the price.
Now, why has not our government
done something along the same
lines? II has done much by distrib-
uting eggs for restocking rivers with
game fish! 1t has done something
by insisting on the protection Of
fish, but the market supply should
come from the sea, and for such fish
ing harbors are absolutely necessary.
Help here by our government is in
cidental. and the fishermen must fish
where the navy wants a harbor. A
little money spent on little harboTs
would do more to break the monopoly
of the beef trust than many farcical
prosecutions and thousand hundred
dollar fines following upon convic-
tons that cost the government
many thousands Of dollars, Give the
average citizen plenty Of good fish
and he will let the beef steak and
pork chops from Chicago wait for
his convenience.
We commend this policy, to the
Representatives in Congress: from the
coast States and especially to Con
,gressmen from Florida, along whose
coasts a little work. might give an
hundred fishing harbors for the bet.

BAYOU Chico, ~ miles; Bayou Chico
to Bayou Grande bridge, 81 miles;
Bayou Grande bridge over naval and
military reservations past National
Cemetery to Fort Barrancas. 2 miles;
total z miles. Under the bill reported,
the government proposes to build only
the two miles between Bayou Grande
and Fort Barrancas.
The government has already rec
ognized the need for this road by
clearing the right of way, building a
portion of macadam road. and build
ing an expensive bridge across
Bayou Grande. 1t is now either a
question of completing the road or of
losing the work and money already
expended on it.
If the committee feels that it is not
advisable at this time to report an
appropriation for the completion of
the entire project, then we trust that
it will at least report bill providing
for the completion of that part of
the road lying on government land
without imposing on the city, county,
or state the practically prohibitive
condition referred to above.
But in any event, some part of the
road should be completed and the
Bayou Grande bridge should be re-
paired without delay, and we trust
Representative Lamar will be able to
impress that fact on his colleagues in
the house. The bill in its present
form is not satisfactory and will be
of no benefit either to the govern,
ment or to Pensacola.

1t is said that an effort will be
made to have the state pay the ex-

penses under the present system are
so great as to debar the poor map

Abutting Property Owners
Should Help Pay for
Sewerage System,

The time draws near when some
definite work for the construction Of
Pensacola's sewerage system will be
gin, but as yet no measures have
been provided for prorating the cost
OF this system between the city
proper and the property owners who
will be directly benefited by It
As It will be impossible with the
money al its command for the city to
furnish free sewerage, even If il were
desirable to DO so, for everyone
within the city limits, a plan should
be settled upon by which the cost can
be eQuitably pronated among the
property owners-the latter to bear
such share Of the cost as the in
creased valuation Of their property
thereby may justify.
Il is obvious that connection with
q sewer system will greatly increase
the value Of the property thus con
nected. It is equally obvious that
such property should help bear the
burden Of cost In the construction
of such system. All property in the
city cannot be thus benefited and it
would be manifestly unfair to com,
pei the owners of property that re-
ceives no benefit from the system to
help pay for the privileges which
their more fortunate neighbOrs en-
Soy.
There are numerous ways by which
this cost may be adequately dtstrib-
uted. Under one plan the city might
lay all Of the main sewers. paying
the entire cost of same, and compel
the property owners to pay the cost
Of all Of the lateral sewers. Under
this plan the cost Of the sewerage
system would be borne by the abut-
ting property directly benefited by II,
and the property not directly benefit
ed would bear its proportion only OF
the cost OF the main sewers, with
which II could secure connection
whenever it was ready to pay for
same or whenever the city compelled
It, as the case might be. Numerous
plans probably can be suggested for
q proper prorsting OF the cost and
We mention this one simply as a sug-
gestion to secure a general discussion
Of the matter by the property owners
Of the city.
Neither the city charter nor the
bonding act seems to contain any
provision touching the matter, and in
the absence OF such there may be
q question as 10 whether the city
council can provide and enforce an
ordinance compelling a division Of
the cost Of the sewerage system, or
whether It viii require a special act
Of the legislature to enable the coun-
ell to DO So In the event OF the lat
ter, nothing can be done until the
legislature meets next April.
