Crow Quilts Mako tn. Best Pens.

A quill penmaker says that no pen will
do as fine writing as the crow quill.
1t requires the assistance of a micro
scope to make proper pen out Of such
a quill. but when made 1t is of Won
derful dellcacy. The microscopic writ
ing told of In books Of literary curios-
tiles was all done with a crow quill.
The steel pens Of the present have
very fine points. but somehow finer
point can be given to quill than has
ever been put on a steel pen. and for
delicacy nothing can equal 1t.

February IA 1871


To the President and Members of
the City Council, City of Ocala Ny
attention has been called to a propos-
ed memorandum of agreement between
the city of Ocala and Ocala Water
Company submitted to you for your
consideration and execution. After due
consideration 1 find various questions
TO same to which 1 will now call your
attention.
First, 1t will be at once observed
that the water company in this pro-
posed contract agree to do absolutely
nothing, the city is to pay all expenses.
furnish all appliances, assume all
risks. and the water company does not
even agree to furnish the direct pres
sure. for which the city is asked to
furnish material pay for labor and as
sumo risks
Second. II seems to me thar there
is an attempt in this memorandum of
contract to have the city ratify and
recognize as now valid and binding a
contract heretofore entered into be-
tween the city and the water company.
1t is we'll known that the water COM
pany has many times violated the
terms and conditions of this former
should the city sign the present memo
randum, containing the clause: terms
of the original contract now existing
and under which the water works was
constructed and are now operated" il
would be prevented from setting up at
any future time any claim OF breach
OF the contract on part of the water
company. If the water company is
only seeking relief from DANA ges
caused by direct pressure that purpose
is served by the clause at the bottom
of the first page thereof together with
the first two words on the second page
And the clause on second page is en-
tirely unnecessary unless it is for the
sole purpose Of securing a reaffirm-
ance of the former contract.
For these reasons I do not think the
city should enter into the memorandum
as ii now stands
Respectfully submitted,
J. D Robertson. Mayor.
