SUPERVISORS
STANDING PAT
They Pass the New Appropria-
ton BiIl---The Mayor
Objects.

Mayor Fern last night declined to
cooperate in the final passage of the
SIX months city and county blanket
appropriation bill which has been ad-
vertised in the newspapers during the
past week, and the Board of Supervis-
ors took the matter in hand and pass
ed 1t on motion of Supervisor Logan.
This was one of the most important
items of interest at the meeting, and
lengthy argument was maintained be-
tween the Mayor, on. the one hand, and
Supervisors Logan, Aylett and Quinn,
on the other, as to the legality of the
expenditures named in the bill The
argument, simmered down, was upon
the. question of the expenditures for
the SIX months, overrunning revenues,
in REV of the fact, as stated by Mayor
Fern and Mr.. Mcclellan, that the leg
acy of the last board, instead of be-
ing $4,000, would actually be closer
to $1,000, and the estimates of the
Logan faction had been based on $1S,-
900 as the amount of the follower.
The Six Months Bill.
When Mr.. Logan asked that the six
months bill be passed and presented to
the Mayor for approval, Mr.. Mcclellan
arose and stated that the bill carried
appropriations for about quarter Of
million dollars. He questioned the
advisability of passing it finally with
out further consideration. He said the
last board, which was supposed to have
turned over $4,000, would leave only
about 81, 800. The six months bill
was figured on the $4,000 basis. He
sa'ssss.eT-ed the bill be passed to com
IIsit3tee- for consideration.
Mr.. Quinn said that although the
board had appropriated that much
three-quarters of the amount named
If the city and county did not have
that much money coming in, expenses
could be curtailed. This, however, did
not affect the purpose of the bill.
Mr. Logan said the bill was more a
bill for working basis. He argued
that even if the bill were signed by
the Mayor now, there would not be
any too much time left in which to
prepare for the payment of salaries
etc., on the 18th. There were certain
road taxes to be taken into considera
tion for outside road work. Anyhow
the board would cut it's cloth according
to monthly expenses. He referred tt
large expenditures by the Territorial
Government. However, in that matter
he did not approve of the power giver
one man to make the expenditures a:
appropriated by the Legislature. Th'
Board of Supervisors was a legislative
body meeting often, and always ha6
its hand on the purse strings. H
stated that he intended shortly tt

OPPOSITION GROWS
TO PROPOSED LAW
TO PROHIBIT SALE or SEA ISLAND
COTTON IN SEED.
Old Grower Says Law Of Supply and
Demand Is What Regulates Prices.
Decrease the Acreage.

Editor Sun: I see from the notice
IN your paper that there f. going 20
be an effort made TO pass a law az
the next Legislature % prohibit the
sale OF cotton I'm the seed. suppose
this idea originated with some cotton
association that would not sell their
cotton for 30 cents and later sold for
~ cents or less. Holding cotton does
not increase the value Of IL. I have
been growing cotton for 30 years. and
during that time I held cotton over
until spring three different years. and
made some money by Il. but | have
seen my neighbOrs hold every year
and lose more than they ever will
make back. II the better class OF
farmers would plant out FIVE 20 ten
acres in pecan trees and attend TO
them, diversity their farming more and
make less cotton they would get more
for IL. Supply and demand will gov
ern values. I believe that II IL was
possible 10 get a tariif OF FIVE cents
per pound on all imported long
staple cotton and the acreage
cut so per cent and cotton advanced
to IS cents that the crop would be in
creased after the advance in prices
until Il went back down TO IS cents.
II you will look up the record Of Sea
Island cotton you will find that for
1913 years Il has been selling for from
IL to 80 cents per pound. Short crop
and good demand brings higher prices;
large crop and poor demand brings
lower prices.
II such a law should be passed
Il would almost be class legls-
latiOn to satisfy the whims Of a
few and be runiOus TO the masses
OF cotton growers. Three-fOurths OF
the cotton that is made I'm Alachua
county has TO be sold almost before
Il is planted for supplies Of various
kinds. Besides We all have remnants
and scrap cotton TO sell to Mr.. Merch-
ant ESPECIALLY II Il Is redbuggy)
Place a license OF S25 on all buyers
OF seed cotton. and this will put out
the class OF buyers that buy the most
Of the stolen cotton. Let the poor
man make what little he can and
sell Il when and as he pleases.
