It's a peculiar combination of cir
cumstances when Mayor Henry T.
of the board of trade that the board
of trade request the council to ask
the mayor to enforce an ordinance.
The instruction is what the mayor
wants and when that instruction is ,
given it's a cinch the ordinance will
be enforced.
The session of the city hall bench +
congress yesterday was long one, !.
lasting from early in the forenoon to |
dark. To accommodate the increas-
ing membership there is talk of Dor
rowing q few of the seats recently
placed in the parkage by the board
of trade. Application may also be
made to the city council for another
bench or some sort Of accOmm Oda-
tons to relieve the necessity Of re-
ducing the membership of the con-
gress.
The movement to secure good
band to furnish music iii the way OF
public concerts on the river front
during the winter season next year
is spreading and at present it looks
like Daytona may have a good band
here the coming winter. 1t is figured
| that a good band could be secured for
the amount of money being paid for
entertainment in the way OF aviation
exhibitions for three days next month
and that the band could furnish en-
| tertainment two or three evenings
during all the winter months. The
subject is we'll worth considering.
| 1t is organization that counts. For
years the people of Daytona and the
travellers who come here have been
complaining of the condition of the
F. E. c. depot at this place. Now the
citizens, through the board of trade.
are working as a unit representing
the combined interests of this vicin-
ity and in position to put in de-,
mand for a change in conditions
which can not ve.y sensib!y go IN

Mr.. Toms Leaves the Southern
Railway,

Mr.. Charles French Toms, at
torney of this city who has for
years represented The Southern
Railway Company at this point as
attorney has resigned his position
with the road. Mr.. Tomos served
the road for years as counsel, and
retires from their service with the
highest concentrations of their
officers. The trouble between
them was disagreement in re-
gard to the amount that Mr..
Toms was to receive. as compensa-
ton for the coming year, he being
unwilling to serve for the fee Of
fered. Mr.. Toms in the future
will now take suits against the
Southern whenever they are ten
dered to him, and his complete
knowledge Of railway law, ought
to be of valuable assistance to
him.
