Tallahassee. May 11-An interest
ing feature of the morning session or
the house was the reading of the re
port of the special committee appoint
ed to investigate to what state Off
Gals and employees railroad passes
have been issued. The list given be-
low covers the more important state
officials though there is another
lengthy list of state employees.
Noticeable on the list are the names
of Senator TaliaferFo, Congressman
Frank Clark and many others includ-
ing State Comptroller Groom. No
action was taken on the report other
than to refer it to the judiciary COM
mittee to look into. 1t is understood
that in some cases those riding on
passes were not state officials at the
time they used the passes. The re-
port to be submitted by the senate
committee later is understood to be
even more complete and to bring
things decidedly up to date.
STATE PRINTING PLANT
An interesting bill introduced in
the morning in the house was one by
Mr.. Bynum providing for the erection
of a state printing plant and that all
state printing should be done by such
plant NJ. Bynnn1 alzss Introduced a
measure creating the County of Semi
mole.
The house sustained the veto of
Governor Broward on the bill prOvid-
ing for the relief of certain county
tax assessors out of the /. /. fund
bill passed at the 1907 session.
The house passed the bill by Cox
of Polk, prohibiting the sale or Civ
ing away of narcotics MacWilliams
of st. Johns, gave notice of a motion
to reconsider.
The senate devoted the morning to
routine, prominent among the meas
ureS being many of a temperance
character which OcCaSiOned some dis
cuSsion. A feature of the session was
an amendment offered by Senator
Buchanan of Duval to a bill regarding
habitual drunkenness. His amend
ment provides that habituaI drunk
ards shall be tried as for lunacy and
sent to the state insane asylum for
treatment The entire bill was laid
over temporarily.

MIX. HAT TONS REPORT.
Pensacola, Fla, May u, 1909.
ITO the Board of Bond Trustees for
the City of Pensacola.
Gentlemen: l have the honor to
report to you that I have completed a
thorough inspection Of the sanitary
sewerage and storm water drainage
systems as built by Mr.. r. G. StorFie
for the city of Pensacola, under his
contract dated July seventh, 1906, and
find, with the few exceptions noted
below, that the work has been COM
pleted in accordance with the provis-
ions of said contract.
"These exceptions are briefly, that
there are still a few lines of S-inch
sewer in which there is some sand
and these sewers must be flushed and
ball run through them. There are a
few points adjacent TO man holes
where repairs of a minor character
are required. There are about Il
man-hole buckets yet to be placed in
man-holes to make them complete.
Mr.. Storrie has been furnished with
letters of instructions to have the
above described woEk satisfactorily
done, and he Is now engaged upon IT,
under the immediate supervision OF
my resident engineer and the inspect
ors, and assures me that he will COM
plete it within a few days, by the
middle of next week at most.
576 DAYS BEHIND.
"One OF the most important excep-
tons wherein Mr.. Storrie has failed
to carry out the provisions OF the
contract is in the long delay in its
completion, he being at this date
about sac days behind the time in
which he agreed to complete il. He,
however, agreed to have the city re-
tain from any money due him the
sum of twenty-five dollars for each
and every day the completion of the
work was delayed and we have re-
served this amount from our pay
ments to him. This amount has been
paid for extra engineering services
made necessary by reason of the de-.
lay, and for inspectors which have
been employed upon the work after
the date in which the work was TO be
completed under the contract.
Il have made out a final statement
OF the amount Of work done by Mr.
Storrie under this contract, which [
