The county site removerS were too
eager. They sprung that question
before they found out how much the
county actually lost in the fire. They
did not wait for the embers to cool
off. After they discovered the loss
was not great they would not admit
their error and endeavored to bolster
up their forlorn hope with promise
made on the part Of the editor of the
Cocoa and Rockledge News that the
people of Brevard will not be taxed
one cent for county buildings if they
vote to put the county seat at Cocoa.
There has been no proposition made
that will justify such an assertion,
and if it is made in the way of last
hour promise, remember, voter, that
it is not holding, as THE STAR of July
oath cited the law that holds that
such promises or even bonds for per-
Torrance of same cannot be enforced
in a case of this kind.

ing down, removal and setting up at Co
Goa should be figured, and this, at
conservative estimate, would cost
81, 900.
The Jail, as originally erected, was
two-story building, the second story, at
the back, being used as an armory,
while the front upstairs was used as
iailor's room on the north side, and on
the south side were two cells Tor wo-
men prisoners or for the custody OF the
insane who might be temporarily con-
fined here. The walls of the first story
of the Jail were four bricks, or is inches
in thickness, while the walls OF the sec
ond story were but IL inches, or three
bricks, thick. The fire burned the roof
and floor of the second story and leveled
the walls, but the thick walls Of the
first story are intact, have been care
fully examined by competent builder
and found to be in good condition. The
floor of the Jail itself is of cement, and
of course is uninjured, and this is true
of the steel cages, as there was very
little heat in the lower part of the
building at the time of the fire. A re-
sponsible contractor has offered to
strengthen the present walls and restore
the present Jail as one-story structure,
which is all there is need for now as
there is no occasion for an armory, for
the sum of 81, 800. The building, when
restored, not counting the value of the
steel cages, will serve its purpose as
well as ever and will be worth, at a
conservative estimate, $1,000; and as
81, $50 insurance money has been col
lected on the sheriff house, the restor-
alton of the jail can be made without
any additional taxation.
Adding up these items, it viii be seen
that the amount of county property
now at Titusville is as follows, not
counting the steel cells of the Jail or
the lands:
