VIII Take Up Paving Problem.

The Palatka Board of Trade is in
teresting itself in the question of
pavement for Palatka's streets and
this subject will form the theme for
discussion at the next meeting of the
board, Monday night, June 18th.
A committee of the board, consist
ing of Messrs. H. A. Davis, g. B. Sell
den, ID. w. Ramsaur and DR., f. w
Warren, has been doing some figur-
ing aud finds that to pave Lemon
street from river to railroad crossing,
and also Front street from the Pres
byteran church to Main street, also
Water street to the East Coast depot,
would require $4,000, or one-half of
the amount to be realized from the
sale of paving bonds.
This committee recently visited
the work of the new county road at
Interlachen and became so impressed
with the value of the gravel there
being used for roads that it has been
doing some figuring. The committee
believes this material good enough
for the remaining streets of the city,
and believes that with the balance
Of money available for paving pur-
pose the entire city can have good,
hard streets. The committee also
states that property owners can do
their part of the paving with this
material at cost of about 20 cents
per foot front.
At the meeting of the board to be
held on the nights of the 18th inst,
this subject will be fully discussed.

ecneciallV built 10 Ie'
In Excellent Trim.

There are few stores in the south
with reputation that will compare
with the Fearnside Clothing COM
pany in this city as to amount and
character OF stock. Although it is
June, this store has not allowed its
stock to remain broken, but on the
contrary as fast as a desirable line OF
size is gone it is replaced and the
stock kept complete.
This has been very busy season,
and successful with the Fearnside
company but there is still big sum
mer trade in sight for this enterpris-
ing house. Mr.. Fearnside knows
this and therefore keeps his stock
complete. His late season custo-
mers need not fear but what their
most eXacting wants can be supplied
at this store.
The Fearnside company handles
the leading makes of tailored gar
ments for men and boys, as well as
shoes of recognized styles and legiti-
mate values in the great centers of
trade.
All the new neckwear for the sum-
mer trade is also found in this store
as fast as fashion dictates it is plac-
ed on the market.
The Fearnside company's trade is
such that its stock has to be kept in
complete shape in midsummer, and
all who have not bought will not suf
fer from scarcity of selection.
The company's new store at st
Augustine also appears to have
jumped into instant favor with dis
eliminating buyers.

1Re County Commissioners.

The June meeting of the board of
county commissioners was held on
Wednesday, all the members being
present except Chairman Stephens
who is serving as a Juror IN the
United States court in Jacksonville.
Mr.. w. S. Middleton of Pomona was
elected chairman pro tenn and pre-
sided in dignified manner.
The opinions of the attorney gen.
eral and E. Noble Calhoun in regard
to the duty of the county to pay the
sheriffs' horse and servant hire were
read. These opinions were to the
effect that the sheriff was entitled
to a reasonable charge. 1t was
thereupon ordered that the bills held
back from a former meeting, cover
ing these expenses of the sheriff, be
paid
The report of Ferryman E. N.
McNab showed that the total fares
collected in May amounted to $4,000,
or $124.00 short of the actual expense.
This amount was ordered paid.
The Simpkins d Walker Kaolin
Co. asked permission to cross the
public roads with their machinery,
permission for which was granted,
provided signals of approach were
given and the crossings kept in good
condition.
Tax Assessor Billiard was granted
permission to purchase a new blank
book for his Office, to replace one
worn out.
Geo. B Selden of the Palatka
Board of Trade committee appointed
to act in good roads matters in con-
junction with the County Commits
siOners, appeared before the board
and gave some estimates as to cost
of road and urging the need of more
money. In the absence of Chair
man Stephens action was deferred
until the July meeting.
The pistol bonds of E. w. Gibson
and the notary public bonds of Ran
dali Wells and L. !, Owens were APP
proved.
The special tax school districts OF

sor was ordered to make such levy.
q. T. Bryan appeared before the
board with claim for damages sus-
tanned by his mule, whose leg was
injured by going through county
bridge some three weeks ago. The
claim was settled for 500, which
amount was paid Mr.. Bryan.
The pistol bond of Y. L. Rogers
was approved, and the reports and
bills of the month were read, APP
proved and ordered paid.
The commissioner all appeared
cheerful at this meeting, fact
largely due to the action of the legis-
lature in increasing their per diem
to 81 per day, a law which will go in
to effect in month or six weeks.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-05-02

Ball playing has a grievous account to settle if too zealous indulgence on the diamond and the gridiron has rele- gated swimming to the background, says one writer who is an admirer of the art of swimming. One of the big colleges has announced that, be- ginning with the class of 1910, every graduate must pass an examination in swimming. With able bodied men drowning just off shore or fighting for lifeboats to the exclusion of wo- men and children when ship goes down, it would seem that swimming needs boom, and as things are the higher schools are good place to be- gin. There can be no denying that a diploma which includes swimming as one of the branches mastered by the graduate will mean something. Cramming to fool the professor won't go here. It is either swim or sink when the candidate is tossed into the water over head deep, and it is up to him to do the trick all by himself. Medals and cups are announced as special Inducements for college boys to take to the water. Any riverside or lakeside mother could suggest simpler scheme than prize giving for this purpose. It is only necessary to spread a broad and deep expanse of water before the eyes of the freshmen and post up stringent rules against swimming. Boy nature will do the rest.
