day afternoon and evening. The after
noon program is as follows
l, Grand cannon salute to the visit
ing Elks from the Venice breakwater

entire local newspaper world thank the
committee for this happy outcome of
an otherwise hopeless situation.
The opening of the ball was not de-
layed more than a half hour over the
non-arrival of Chauncy Stoddard
When it was finally announced that
LOngmont Colo, was represented, a
general sigh of relief wended upward
and the band crashed for the grand
march. The Chesterfield of the state
named after a nice river left few hon.
ors for his rival from Indio.
In concluding this official account of
the ball we will state that it was not
necessary for local Elks to give us
cigars and to whisper confidentials.
We already had concluded to add a
postscript stating that all Los Angeles
men present left their wives only for
important conferences with the Off
cials.
Bakersfield reached the scene of fes-
tivities a little late, but r. L. Gala

vertisements on the ground that they

but he is convalescing slowly.

THE evening will end with a carnival
ball at the dance pavilion. A large
amount of confetti has been secured for
the occasion, and it is expected that the
spirit of the day will reign supreme till
a late hour
Arrangements have ben made to have

day will be the monster concert by a

Paving Grades
Should Be Explained.

When Consulting Engineer 7. Chalk
lev Hatton reaches Pensacola he should
explain the paving grades which make
such an unusual and damaging show
ing at numerous places throughout the
city.
In many places the street paving
and the sidewalks are laid to different
grades and in some cases the differ
ence between the grades is so great
that property owners and the city gen
orally are damaged to an extent that
would be hard to estimate
Some ten years ago, or Whereabouts,
the city adopted a plan for street
grades which cost several thousand
dollars and which was prepared by
one of the most competent engineering
firms in the country. When it was
decided to pave certain streets In the
city, a consulting engineer in the per
son of Mr.. Hatton was employed to
prepare plans for this paving. In
making those plans. the original grades
we're changed in many Cases-changed,
apparently, without the knowledge or
anyone save Mr.. Hatton himself
These plans were approved by the
bond trustees and presented to the
city council for adoption and were
duly adopted.
These plans, it seems, were made to
apply only to the street paving grades
- - - ~, -55o--oTI- r-raFnc TOD-
sequently. while thousands Of dollars
had been spent, were then being spent,
and are still being spent on permanent
sidewalks, these sidewalks are being
laid TO one grade Cthe original one)
and. wherever changes were made, the
street paving is being laid to an en-
tireIy different grade. The result is
that in some places the sidewalks are
below the street paving and in other
places they are far above it.
Mr.. Hatton can say, OF course, that
he had nothing to do with the side
walk grades and. Of course. is not re
sponsible for them. But the question
is, why did he permit The adoption Of
new paving grades without notifying
the other departments Of the city gov
eminent what the effect would be-
He knew, of course, that wherever the
paving grade was changed the side
walk grade would also have to he
changed and he should have known
that unless attention was called 70
that fact the work as whole would
make a botch job
The Journal VIII not discuss at this
time the various features of the Hat
ton grade-some of which, in oar own
judgment. are very bad-but The Jour
nal would, II common with the rest of
the public, like TO hear MI Hatton' s
explanation Of the question We have
raised.
