Why Antonio Was Silent

In its report of the special meeting OF
the city council last week Thursday
night, when the action of former
meeting ordering certain streets paved,
was recinded and still others ordered
paved, the News stated that alderman
Antonio Usina sat in the back OF the
hall and did not vote"
There was reason for this non-par-
ticipation on the part of Aid. USina
which the News neglected to mention.
II was this:
At regular meeting the committee
on paving, composed of Aldermen USina,
Howell and Smith presented report,
signed only by Chairman Usina, against
the use of the brick contemplated for
these streets. Mr.. Usina contended that
the brick was inferior, that it had been
discarded, and could only rate as second
quality. The city paid $l.23 per square
yard for first quality brick laid flat 1t
was TO pay $1.00 per square yard for the
second quality, or discarded brick.
"My information was TO the effect that
second quality brick should be laid on
end at 80 per cent per square yard less
than first quality, and | held that the
city was therefore paying too much for
its second quality brick paving laid flat
when it contracted 10 pay $1.OO per
yard"
OF course feeling that he was right in
this, Mr.. Usina would not have been
consistent TO sit in the council and vote
to pay more for the paving than he be-
lieved it worth. Hence his silence,
after making his first vigorous protest.

This Special Edition Will APP
pear Friday, July 21st.

For some time the publishers of the
Palatka News have been thinking hard
on the problem of how TO get out an
Industrial and Trade Edition of the
paper, one that would be credit TO the
city and county, the business men who
are working for their development, as
we'll as the publishers themselves.
To get out such paper with our own
limited staff was seen to be impossible.
An edition to attract attention and
produce results demands the work of
SpecialistS-men trained in the work.
The publishers recently had their at
tention called TO such publication as
they had in contemplation, issued from
a North Carolina city. The publishers
got busy with the result that
The Palatka News has engaged corps
of writers for this work, the same men
who made the monster industrial success
of the North Carolina publication.
These gentlemen are now in Palatka
and at work getting material for this
proposed edition of the News.
1t is proposed that the coming Indus
trial and Trade Edition will be credit
TO Palatka and Putnam county.
1t will be such a paper as will con
vince prospective Florida settlers that
Putnam county is the place for them TO
secure home.
1t will demonstrate by actual accom-
plishment and beyond any question the
practical productive qualities of our farm
and fruit lands.
These lands are actually yielding
-. onI larOn nrnfitc tn
the intelligent husbandman.
There will be no attempt to over
reach in the matter of exploitation.
The truth in actual accomplishment will
be all the booming Putnam county
needs. 1t does need that.
Palatka is the capitol city of Putnam
county. Ii is city that must be seen to
be appreciated. 1t is not tourist city.
Ii is an active all-year-'round business
city, the developing force of which is
made up of live business men-men who
have cultivated the progressive spirit to
a remarkable degree of perfection.
The city has but Just recently entered
upon remarkable career of commercial
development. Municipal management
has been keyed TO a pitch of progreS.
SiveneSS in keeping with its commercial
pace.
We are ready for the influx of new
settlers.
The coming Industrial and Trade Edi,
ton of the Palatka News will meet the
on coming tide with clear and com,
prehensive view of the city and county
as they are TODAY.
The edition will be an expensive af,
fair, but plan for a division of the costs
has been devised whereby il will be but
small tax on any one man, and the
News respectfully urges every business
man in the city TO secure representation
| in its columns.

TRADE DEMANDS
INCREASED SPACE
Additional Story to be Erected
For Earnest Company.
Early Cut Price Sale Necessary to Pre-.
pare for Builders.

Early Cut Price Sale Necessary to Pre-
pare for Builders.
The double corner store al Lemon
and North Third street, occupied by the
Earnest Company, is TO have an ad-
ditional story erected this summer.
This additional floor space will be
utilized by the. Earnest Company for its
ready-to-wear department and will be
reached by passenger elevator.
During the time necessary for this
change the company will be obliged to
crowd its stock into two stores next
east now occupied by the ready-to-wear
and ladies shoe departments.
In order to make these cramped quar-
tiers do, the Earnest Company has been
obliged to resort to the unheard of pro-
ceeding of inaugurating big cut price
sale in the very heart of the season.
And that is precisely what is meant by
the page advertisement of the Earnest
Company in this edition of the News.
1t is but the beginning of July, one of
the best trade months of the year. But
the company is so anxious TO get the en-
larged store ready for the fall business,
knows that in order TO do so it must va
cate through August and large part of
September, and in order 10 vacate, its
stock must be greatly reduced.
1t means temporary sacrifice OF prof
its for necessary preparation TO meet the
increased and ever growing demands OF
a successful business enterprise.
"Our business, said Mr.. Earnest, "haS
made rs per cent gain each year since
its establishment The increase for this
year will be even greater. The de-
mands of this ever increasing trade must
be met. There is nothing for us 10 do
but provide more room. Skyward is the
only direction open for such growth.
We already have four stores.
"The demands of our trade must be
met by an even larger stock. This is
especially true with our ready-to-wear
department. Once we get that into the
new upper floor we will have a stock
which for variety OF selection will rank
with the best in the south.
"Our recent Inauguration OF mail
order business is proving a great sue,
cess. The people all over the county
are saved the time and trouble and rail
road fare by our system of careful meth
cd of meeting these written orders.
This department is not confined to the
Putnam county trade. 1t reaches TO all
parts of Florida.
"Palatka is admirably situated for the
building up of such business. 1t is
railroad center and has water tranSporta,
ton reaching north and south.
"ThiS business, however, neceSSitateS
tho corryino of a IarUe and varied stock
