SIDEWALKS
DISCUSSED
Board Of Works Says that
Grades of Present Engi-

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Board of Public Works was
held last night, Chairman Daniel pre-
siding and ali members present. Many
matters of interest to the public
were discussed, chief among them
being that of sidewalk grades, which
are in conflict, those Of the present
city engineer not being in line with
those of the former engineer. The
board decided that the grades as set
by Engineer Thornton shall be COM
piled with By property owners in
building sidewalks
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board by Mitch Jacoby,
who resides at Baskerville He
stated that the grade fGr his sidewalk
given by the city engineer did not
conform to that of his neighbor by
about eight inches 1t was then that
the board made the ruling.
Another matter decided by the
board was Sat hereafter the supports
of all galleries overlapping the side
walk shall be of iron, and that when
the building inspector condemns

a wooden one.

MeSSrS. Greenhut, Clark and YOnge,
the Plaza commissioners, applied to
the board for an appropriation of
$3.50 to be used in having water
pipe extended to the park, with
which to water the flowers and
shrubbery to be placed there. The
amount was allowed.
The removal by T. l.. Cant of two
wooden buildings situated in the fire
limits, was discussed at some length,
inasmuch as it is a violation to move
any wooden building within this ter
ritory. Fhe matter of whether the
board has jurisdiction to compel the
owner to demolish the buildings or
have them placed on the original
sites, was referred to the city attorney
for an opinion.

A Dapray, regular army officer, re-
called from service with the Florida
state troops, and the refusal of the
governor to comply with the request,
has caused considerable interest in
army circles, especially locally. The
case is an unusual one.
Governor Broward not only failed
to request the recall of the major, but
proceeded to direct a letter to the
war department, praising Major Da-
pray for the excellent service he had
rendered the state, and then appoint
ed him special commissioner from
Florida to the jamestown exposition.
The Army and Navy Journal. in its
recent issue. contained the following,
which will be of interest here:

municated with the war department
regarding the complaint filed with
him by the adjutant general Of the
state against Major Dapray, u. ).
army, retired. who is on duty with the
Florida militia The adjutant gen.
eral of the state formally requested
that Major Dapray's relief from duty
at Tallahassee should be requested OF
the war department, mainly on the
ground that the army officer had ex-
ceeded his authority, had assumed
title as military adviser to the gov
ernor instead of instructor and In
spector of militia. and had interferred
with the discharge of the duties OF
the adjutant generals office.
The case is an unusual one. and
was interesting asft was claimed that
considerable friction prevailed be-
tween the adiutant general of Flor
ida and the army officer who is on
duty in the organized militia by de-
tail from the war department upon re-
quest of the governor of the state.
The latter official has now informed
the war department that he does not
sustain the adjutant general in his
criticism of Major Dapray and does
not share the desire to have the
army officer relieved from duty In
connection with the Florida national
guard. More than this, the governor
takes occasion to pay high tribute
to Major Dapray's ability and use
fuIness. This ends the incident so
far as the war department is called
upon to take official notice.
