15. The contract price of the city
Jail was s24,7S7, not including 5 per
cent. architects fees
13. The total amount from sale OF
bonds and apportioned by the council
for the Jail is $40,310.53, including
$11 500 for steel cells and doors.
The above cost of buildings does
not include $26.oOO paid for the lots
where the city hall. truck house and
patrol house are located, or S9.1S0.40
paid for furniture for the city nall and
Jail.
At the time the contracts for the
city hall and city Jail were made
money was not available from the
sale of improvement bonds to com
plete the buildings, including their fit
tingS and furnishings, therefore the
plan was adopted of providing these
nece sSarieS as the money became
available from the general fund OF
the city.
As to questions IA and IT, so far
as the specifications require and the
development of the buildings TO date
suggests, no more money will be need
ed than has already been appropriate
ed except S1eS.S5 for lighting fixtures
for the Jail, $50 for lighting the base
ment of the city hall and small bal
ance to the architect on the Jail, of
which items the council has been ad-
ViSed, but anyone having had expert
ence in building Will understand that
often in completing work omissions
will come to light making additional
OUTLAWS necessary. The bond trustees
are in no better position to say what
additions may be necessary, or advis-
able, than is the city council.
Questions Is to 33, inclusive, re
fer to the proposed bond sale OF
$3.50 900. which fell through. upon
which matter the bond trustees sub-
mitted a report before Alderman An
notifying the council that. the bidders
had failed to take up and pay for the
bonds
Question "a is as to why street grad
ing and paving is not under way
There are three reasons.
1St. When bids were asked for for
paving, the lowest bid received was
so high that the interests of the city
and the abutting property holders
demanded that it should be rejected
End: on account of the financial
situation, the general business depres-
sion. and curtailment of enterprises
of all kinds, it appears unwise and
useless to try to get reasonable bids
for this work at present
3Fd: two-thirds of the cost of nav
ing must be paid by the abutting
property holders upon the install
ment plan, and contractors cannot un-
der the existing financial conditions
finance these deferred payments.

Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
would like TO give some reasons
why the council, by an almost unani-
nous vote, tabled the resolutions Of
fered by Alderman Andrews at the
last regular meeting of that body.
The natural inference from the
character and wording of the resolu-
tiOns would be that the bond trustees
had been acting without the approval
of the council, that they were under
suspicion, that certain matters were
irregular, and that an Immediate in
vestigation was necessary.
AS the bond trustees have acted
with the approval of the council in all
of the matters referred to in the res
olutions, and are not in the remotest
degree under suspicion; as the coun-
Gil should not put itself in the awk-
ward attitude of asking the bond trus-
tees what the councils own records
show; and as a large number of the
questions asked related to a matter
that the council knew had never been
consunmated, the action of the coun-
ell in declining to adopt the resolu-
tions seems to be tdll5 justified.
However, as some people may not
have followed the proceedings of the
council as reported in the city papers
from time to time, or may have for
gotten same, ] will give the informa-
tiOn for their benefit

Up for Murder
Governor Will Protect With
Troops One to Be Tried

Frankfort, KY, Aug, las a re-
suit of the lynching of four negroes

Rhea of Logan county, with reference
to the protection which will be af-
forded the negro, Rufus Browder,
when he is to be taken here for trial
Monday charged with the murder OF
J. F.. Cunningham. ,a. =.
The sheriff, in answering the gov
ernor's inquiry as to the force he
had to protect Browder, stated that
the local authorities were amply
able to take care of the situation
and that he and his deputies would
be subject to orders and instruc-
lions of the court having jurisdiction
and would act under its orders.
The attorneys for Browder inform
ed the governor that unless the ne
gro is protected by troops it is GER.
tain he will be lynched Monday. In
a telegram to the sheriff, the COVER
nor indicates the policy he will pur
sue, saying:
eff the prisoner is guilty law
full conviction is absolutely sure
Lynching is murder whether the
prisoner is guilty or not. The Law
requires the governor to protect the
life of the negro"
1t is expected here that troops o.
the First regiment at Louisville will
be sent to guard Browder during
his trial at Russelville. .%
