WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-Back from
New York, where he has been seeking

Ralney. OF Illinois, will take another
month to investigate the subject before

II fear that shall not be able 10 re.
port that all Is well In connection with
that transaction" said Mr. Ralney to-
day. While l have not gotten much
from the twenty-odd persons inter.
viewed In New York that would be ad-
mitted in a court OF record. We. have
secured enough 10 warrant my delving

pursue his studies, and believes that

We wonder how many West Florida

and p feet wide. and contains at the
present time about twelve feet OF
fresh water, and is a regular breed
Ing place for mosquitoes. WHY not
nave the same removed or DESTROYED ?
Aside from being a breeding place
1or mosquitoes, tiis old wreck is in
the way OF navigation, and should be
gotten out of the way.
Is 1t the property Of the CITY Or of
an individual? In either case. il an
pears that some action should be TAX
en- to get rid of it, as it is a nuisance
to the community. I certainly hope
some sort of action will be taken at
once.
Respectfully.
