I'm 1892 than ever before. and as re-
suit some Of the best known operators
were caught and have not since fully
recovered.
The present situation IS one which
should be freighted with much hope
and intelligent expectation to the real
estate fraternity here. Local capital
is investing more largely than ever in
local real estate, and outside money IS
actually seeking to invest in local real
estate securities because OF the splen-
did outlook for increase IN value dur
ing the next few years.
Judicious Investments made now need
not be held more than six months be-
fore the property can be resold at an
amount considerably above the original
sum and additional taxes. Tho city is
just in that condition where property
of almost every grade can be secured
during these quiet, conservative times
at cheaper figures than will again prob
ably be the case In the history Of the
city in the financial centers together
with the progressive commercial spirit
and the modern strides I'm all lines Of
building. all conspirc TO beget a belief
on the part of those who are looking
intelligently into the situation that
local people enjoy a sustained real
estate activity which will advance the
price of al well located property IN
the central portion of the city az least
38 1-3 per cent. and will double and In
some cases treble the value OF well
located acre tracts near the city limits.

opinion that the worst OF the winter
season is over and accordingly are
proceeding with their plans for the

against the lending of city property such as road building machinery. pumps. engines, etc, to firms and individuals.
 Mayor Charles H. Bliss applied 10 the board for the use of a large steam pump for a short while. as he desired to use it in placing some bling on A wharf owned by him. The members or the board, which lave only recently taken office, were .I,terly opposed to any such procedure as had been car ried out by the former board, ana without hesitation turned down the request of the mayor. Not only did they refuse this request, but upon learning that other city property is now in the hands of citizens to whom 1t had been loaned. ordered the street superintendent to call all in by noon tomorrow.
 Hereafter the city property will not be available for the use of citizens Tn their private business.

Sunday Baseball Law |.

Seventeen baseball players, arrested Sunday by the sheriff for violating the Sunday law, went before Judge Beggs in the Criminal Court this morning and entered pleas of guilty as charged. Sentences imposed were very light. ranging from $25O to $4 and costs.
 Some of the defendants who were 12 and Is years of age, were fined the small amount and collection of the same was suspended provided they do not commit the offense again. while in some other cases the collection Of the fine was ordered but the costs were suspended. In the cases of the men who were playing and the umpire fines of $4 and costs were assessed and col 1ected, and those unable to pay are held in jail
 The arrests will probably have the effect of stopping the many games of ball that are played each Sunday in the city and surrounding country, except by the clubs composing the City League. These clubs formerly played each Sunday afternoon at Palmetto Beach, but owing to the agitation for the enforcement of the Sunday laws. decided at the opening of the season to abandon these grounds, except for weekday games, and obtaining per- mission from the commander of Fort Barrancas all Sunday games are played on the diamond located on the army reservation, thus placing the players ost of reach of the State officers.
