He attributed the big fines as one rea-

FROM JETT BRoS.
A letter from Jet Bros, the Mobile
Jail builders, asked for information
relative to the county's financial
standing, as they desired to make a
bid on the new jail and wanted to be
in position to say just how they
could handle the county's paper. The
letter was referred to the clerk for
reply.
STATE AUDITORS REPORT.
The state auditor, who had submit
ted his report of the offices and Off
GERS of Escambia county to the gov
ernor, was rather complimentary to
each of them. The governor sent on
a copy of the report to the commits
sIoners and it was read. The report
will be later published.
The board then went into the mat
ter of auditing and approving the bills
for the past month. Before getting
well started in this work. however,
Commissioner Davis called up the
matter of moving the cinders as per
contract from the fertilizer works at
Goulding. 1t appeared that the coun
ty is under contract for six months
to remove these cinders, to be used
for the road works. The board had
expected to receive a report upon
the question from the county road
supervisor, but that officer was too
sick to be present, and, of course, the
report was absent too. Commissioner
Davis said that something had to be
done to keep the cinders moved He
suggested that Mr.. Wilson, who had
been working there, be kept at the job
at some stated price, and then to ad-
vertise for bids for the removal of
the cinders for a period of three
months. This was so ordered.
The bills were then taken up. After
examining, discussing and later ap-
proving them, the board adjourned.

err B. D. Reed, of the local camp of
Confederate Veterans, against grant
ing the pensions to A. Caro- and Mar
tin Billiard. Capt. Reed said that
neither of them were entitled to, state
pensions He made the claim that A.
Caro- was barred from the state pen
sion privilege, and that his pension
had been held up at Tallahassee. The
pension for Caro- was held over for
investigation. That of Billiard had
not been acted upon up to the time
the bills were approved.
GOOD COLLECTIONS.
Tax Collector Roberts presented
what he termed his allowance list
which the board approved. This was
pronounced good showing in the
manner of collections. The list show
ed for 1908 the assessment in the
county to be S133,647.71. From this
the sum of 1919 had been deducted
for incorrect assessment, parties leav-
ing state, dying, ETC., leaving net
assessment of $129,907. The collec-
collected all but $2,024, which was \
high average of SO 3-S per cent.
Commissioner McQuarrie moved TO
approve the lists, which was done
Notarial bonds of M. o. Wilson and
John Chandler were presented with
good securities and they were ap-
proved.
ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND.
The tax collector reported that for
the past month he had collected the
sum of $521.76, to the account of the
road and bridge fund. Commissioned
Brown moved that the city's share, as
made by Jaw, which was one-half of
that collected in the city, be turned
over to the city. This brought out
the fact that the fund had not enough
to pay even the. .city's half, and it
later developed that the city had not
been paid anything for the previous
month for the reason that the money
could not now be spared by the coun-
ty. The commissioner withdrew his
motion and the city will have to
await the pleasure of the board for
its pro rata.
FROM GOVERNOR.
A letter from Governor A. w. Gill
christ called upon the board to furn-
ish at their convenience, or at any
time within the next ten days, the
total amount in miles of good hard
roads in the county The letter was
turned over to the clerk for reply.
1t was asserted that in the matter of
hard roads the county would show
up for about 200 miles.
BANK DEPOSITS.

by a certificate from the bank, show

tvs credit to be s26,168.23, divided as

quiry from Commissioner Davis as to
the reason for it falling so low, and
! Deputy Sheriff Cusachs, who was
present, offered the explanation that
one reason probably was on account

Mrs. Jones' favorite warning to her

Harry was four years old he was sent
for the first time round the corner to

don't matter. 1t would be sheer insanity to seek
the laurels Of the battlefield. to bear the fire of

is to convince Spain that Cuba will be but heap
