PALAFOX PARKWAY
OF NATIONAL FAME

you will find it noted that as a whole
the entire littoraI of the Gulf coast
lies from four to six feet above the
level of the Gulf of Mexico. With
our beautiful city the case is entirely
different, and Palafox street barely
reaches Lee Square until an altitude
approaching very closely one hundred
feet is attained. The result will be
that when Palafox Square shall be-
come an accomplished fact, the Wis
itor's eye will follow this decIension
of nearly one hundred feet on down
to the shores o: the Incompatible bay
OF Pensacola.
Let me impress on my readers what
this sub-tropical fruit located in Pen
sacola Park will mean. There is no
more beautiful tree grows than the
Satsuma orange, reaching as it does
an altitude of from twenty-five to
thirty feet. It is a quick grower,
| yielding its delicious fruit to a mod
crate degree the third or fourth year
after it is set. The Satsuma or glove
orange is perhaps not as widely
| Known as its merits warrent In fla
vOr it is not surpassed by any orange
that grows. 1t is literally and abso-
! lutely a glove orange, it being posi-
ering her fingers may be encased, to
| strip the rind from a ripened Satsu-
ma and divide the sections for eat
! inE without soiling the daintiest glove
she might wear. The Satsuma or
arge ripens, as I recall, in midfaII I
myself have gathered and eaten them

| into the early spring.
Can any one imagine aught which
viii more deeply impress casual Wis
| ttOTS than a grove of these trees,
hanging in midwinter with their loads
| Of luscious golden fruit
l am not at all sure that the ma
! jority of your readers are familiar
with the fascination attraction Po-
melo, OF grape fruit, presents when
these small bushes are bending al
most to the ground with their burden
or rich yellow fruit. Imagine Palafox
Square aglow with even these two eX-
anIples Of table fruits which thrive in
this locality. Would not some i'm
mensely valuable advertising in a not
expensive manner be obtained? Ad-
nit that it required two guards to
watch over these treasures, how
could money be better spent than in
thus presenting to whoever visits
Pensacola treasures which nature
provides for us who find our lot cast
in the delectable environment
1t is more than probable that there
arc other plants either fruit or Glow
ering shrub, that could be profta bly,
introduced into this charming locali-

this square examples of both fruit and

cinity and which would deeply i'm

The prediction by Mr.. Kessler that
the improvement of the Palafox street
Parkway would make the Deep Water
City noted for that one spot alone
finds another enthusiastic advocate IN
the person Of c. G. Packard, who be-
lieves that this Heart of Pensacola
might easily become Of national fame.
President H. H. Thornton, of the
Chamber of Commerce is also an en-
tEUsiaStic advocate of the Kessler
Parkway plan and he makes some
suggestions which, like Mr. Packard's
can be taken up for consideration
when the proposed plan has been fin
ally adopted, as it is hoped 1t will be
when the city council acts in the mat
ter. A letter each from Mr.. Packard
and Mr.. Thornton is published be-

THE POSSIBILITIES OF
PALAFoX PARKWAY.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
| am much interested in the pro-
posed improvement of PalafOx streeC
ard beg to add my earnest approval
to the pldR proposed.
/ have always believed that in this
square, lying between Wright and
Garden, Pensacola owns one of the
most attractive spots IN the entire
south AS it is but two squares from
the passenger depot of the city, the
stranger has barely got his feet GU
Pensacola soil when this natural OBJ
ject of beauty, becomes visible.
Viewed from the upper end, on
Wright streets this square reaches
down to the beautiful Bay of Pensa-
cola, the crowning glory of the Gulf
coast
Admitting that the square is embeI-
lished, as 1 read in The Journal is
now contemplated. that the street car
tracks are located on either side of
the broad square; that rows Of state
l. cabbage palms are on parade from
Wright to Garden and supplemented
by much beautiful and indigenous
shIubbery-is it not perfectly obvious
that this Heart of Pensacola would
become of national fame?
May I be pardoned one or two sug-
gestions? Let. the plans be so ex-
tended as to make a sort o. inverted
cross of the square, permitting it to
include at least one block on Garden
street in either direction from Pal
afox.
Second-include in the plants in the
square examples at least of grape
fruit and Satsuma oranges Admit
that these would need both day and
night Waterman to protect the beauS
tifui fruit, would not the cost be am
ply justified Just think of the i'm
preston on strangers when first
reaching the city, of stepping into n
park of tropical and semi-tropieal
trees and fruitsI And add example
after example Of orange and grape
fruit as named above. Is 1t not plain
that such presentation would infalli-
bly, impress whosoever thus obtained
their first view of Pensacola?

The following new law should

jects." Approved June z, 19O9-St

equivocal approval to this excellent

BALDWIN COUNTY AT
THE TRI-COUNTY FAIR.
,~~~~~~~>~~~~~~e
Foley Onlooker

The Merchants Association of Pen
sacola is evidently in earnest in the
matter of tri-county fair to be held
in that city this fall and to include
exhibits from this county and Escam-
bia and Santa Rosa counties in
Florida.
This fair will in no way conflict
with the proposed county fair and
exhibits at the state fairs, in fact, it
should WORK hand in glove with them.
AS we understand it the tri-cOunty
fair is not to be neld till along in
November after we have had our
county fair and made our exhibits at
the state fairs, so that it should be an
easy matter to so arrange that the
county exhibit can pass right on to
Pensacola and be exhibited there, thus
giving the county that much addi-
tional advertising and also the chance
of gathering in some additional prize
money.

SUGGESTION FOR
DETAILED IMPROVEMENT

Dear Mr.. Mayes:
/ note with much pleasure, from a
recent issue of your paper, that 1t is
very probable that Mr.. Kessler's plan
for the PalafoX parkway viii be
adopted, and write urging that you
push the suggestion / made at the
conference held in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms that Chase street
be closed at either side or the park.
Any one can see at a glance that
this would not only greatly enhance
the beauty of the park, but by ex-
GLIDING automobiles and other veht-
cles, UNNECESSARILY add to its useful
ness by increasing it's safety as a
gathering place for little ones, thus
still further adding to its attractive
ness. This would work very slight
hardship on the public, as a walk
could be left at this point, across the
park, for pedestrians, and it would
not be asking very much of vehicle
owners to drive one block up or down
to get around it.
am advised that there would
probably be no legal difficulties in
the way of carrying out this plan, as
the council could by ordinance, close
Chase street, at this point, prospect
i've OF the fact that there might be
some objection raised.
You could easily and forcefully
urge that Pensacola is now preparing
to be a beautiful, as well as big
city, and that no objections that
would tend to thwart this ambition
should be entertained, and / trust you
will do this.
Yours truly.
