CITY COUNCIL IS WILLING
WATER SHOULD Be SOFTFNfD.
QUESTION IS Of EXPENSE
OF BUILDING THE PLAN. .
=
EsE4
CHARTER OF DAYToNA PRE-
VENTS INcuRRlNc or ANY
DEBTS FOR MUNICIPAL IN
PRovEMENTs.

That softening plant in addition
to the city waterworks is really
needed and almost necessity to puk
the city water in condition for al
practical uses and make the water
works a better paying proposition fa
readily realized by the members <Of
the city council, but the aldermen are
facing the question of how this plant
can be installed without creating an
Indebtedness for the city, which IA
strictly forbidden by the city charter.
That this is the exact status of
affairs was brought out by a dis
cussion of the matter at the meet
ing of the city council Tuesday ev-
ening. The discussion was caused by
the reading of a petition from q
large number of business men and
prominent citizens of Daytona ask
ing the city council to authorize the
installation of water softening
plant in connection with the present
waterwoi'ks system,
The members of the city council
realize and fully appreciate the ben
efits which would be derived from
the installation of such a plant. but
the financial condition of the city at
this time will not permit the addition
and the city charter forbids the coun-
Gil or mayor to incur an indebtedness
for municipal improvements without
first submitting the question Of
whether such an Indebtedness shall
be incurred to a vote of the people.
In the discussion of the question
Major A. B. Foster, T. A. Snider, G..
b. Seaman, d d Rogers and Geo. A.
Main addressed the council, to ex-
plain what a benefit it would be to
the city, especially to the water
users, and explain something near
what the cost of installing such an
addition would amount to. If there
IS any way by which a sufficient
/ amount of money for installing the.
softening plant can be raised without
lncurring the actual Indebtedness
plant will probably be installed, and
the matter was placed in the hands
of special committee, composed of
Aldermen Klock, Conrad and Smith
to investigate.
/ A communication from San Fran
cisco was read asking the council to
/ write the Florida Representatives in
congress to vote for San Francisco
as the best place in which to hold
the big exposition to celebrate the
opening of the Panama canal in 1915.
and the communication was laid on
the table. The communication stated
that the city of San Francisco has
already raised total of SI7. 800. 900
10 pay for such an exposition and
will not ask congress to appropriate
cent for such expenses, while New
Orleans is asking the United States
government to bear the expense of
such an exposition.
A report was received from Tax
Collector w. H. Edmondson showing
the amount of money that has been
collected from city licenses up to
this time. This was in reply to an
action taken by the council at its

NO PASSENGERS HURT

Little Rock, July 15.-While run ming at full speed en route to Lit. tie ROCK from St. Louis, Train No. r, the Hot Springs Special on the Iron Mountain, left the track near Tuck erman this morning at five o'clock, four Pullman cars crashing into the cross ties on the road.
 But beyond a shaking up of a large number of passengers on the Pullclan cars there were no injuries, and as soon as the exchange could be made, the Pullman passengers were sent to the day coaches and the train cane into Little Rock and proceeded to Tot Springs minus her Pullman edu'3- ment
 From reports received in the gancr- al offices this morning the cars are not badly damaged, and it is believe that all four of the cars can be re- turned to the service immediately.
 The chief damage resulting rom the accident was that done to the track Three hundred feet of tie track were torn up and wrecking crew from Argenta was hurried to the scene of the accident to replace the ties and rail.
 That no fatalities occurred, is con- sidered remarkable by those who know of the situation. The scene of the accident is level, straight track between Tuckerman and Swifton and this fact accounts for the absenae of loss of life.

The iE- jured operator according to a report last night died in Little Rock yester- day afternoon at 5 o'clock at the St. Vincent's Infirmary from the wound inflicted by the negro.
 A special to this office from Mon trose last night stated that Watson who has been making his home at Mentrose for two years was coming cut of the office to put the mail on the Southbound train, which passes through Montrose at 2:30 a. m., that a number of negroes were on the plat form, and after Watson had passed a few words with them, one of the par ty fired five times at the operator, one shot taking effect.

 A special from McGehee was sent to Montrose to get the injured man. He was brought to McGehee and placed on the Northbound train Mo- 13S, which passes through this city about 7:45 o'clock in the morning and goes to Little Rock. No 138 was held up for a few hours at McGehee to await the arrival of the special from Mon trose, and passed through this city about three hours late. During the afternoon a message from Little Rock stated that Watson was in a serious condition and last night a message was received stating that he died at 5 o'clock.
