NO MONEY FOR
BUILDING SITE
1T Is FOUND THAT ONE OF THE
PUBLIC SQUARES IN ITALIA
HAssEE RIeHTFULLY BELONGS
TO THE STATE AND WILL BE
USED FOR SUPREME COURT
BUILDING.
Special to The journal

Tallahassee, Oct. AT the first
1.4eeting of the building commission for
tbI supreme court, library and rail-
road commission building about two
months ago a sub commission was ap-
pointed to select and recommend a site
for the building. Some pieces Of pri-
vate property were considered. but no
deal for them could be contaminated.
Thereupon they decided upon the
square to the southwest corner Of the
capitol and asked the attorney general
to look into the title Of this property.
Chas. o. Andrws, chief clerk in the
attorney generals Office, was instruct
ed by him to look up this information.
Mr.. Andrews advises that he has COM
pleted his work and found very in
teresting history connected with the
old city Of Tallahassee.
He found no record to show that the
public squares of the town ever passed
out OF the ownership Of the state
The United States, when Florida was
a territory, set aside and gave to the
territory a quarter section where the
capitol now stands for a capitol site.
This was afterwards added TO by fur
Their grants at different times Of the
three remaining quarters of the sec
ton, making the town a mile square.
These grants were laid out by direc-
ton Of the United States into the
present town Of Tallahassee with the
parks. or squares. and other plots as
they exist now. The lots laid out were
placed under the jurisdiction OF COM
mission to be sold and the proceeds to
be applied to the building of a capitol.
This commission existed until Florida
became a state and did not wind up
its business until some years after.
For Public Buildings.
The records examined bring out the
fact that the public squares in the
town were originally laid out for the
purpose of being used as sites for the
public buildings OF the state. The
these squares. While the commission
in charge Of the unsold lots as laid out
in Tallahassee had the authority to sell
such lots, they were not allowed to sell
the squares. Such prohibition OF their
sale is referred to in records examined

when the building commission meets
as a body, viii give as his opinion that
the state has a clear title to the lot
or square, above referred to and which
will be recommended by the sub com
mission as the site for the new build
ing. The city council Of Tallahassee,
in session this week, made a quit
claim deed to whatever title the town
may have in the square. So it seems
certain that this site viii be the one
selected by the whole commission,

OPENING WEEK
At Y. N. c. A.
VERY BUSY ONE
OLD STUDENTS CONTINUE THEIR
WORK, MANY NEW ONES EN-
ROLL AND THE OUTLOOK IS
VERY ENCOURAGING.

The opening week Of the association
institute (the educational Department.
of the Y. NJ. c. A. has been a very
busy one. The outlook is very encour-
aging not only in the new students
who have enrolled and are to enroll.
but because OF the old students who
are continuing their work in the in
stitute.
1t is the desire OF the institute To
supply every educational need Of the
entire membership, other than those
attending regular schools, and not
only Of the membership Of the asso-
citation but all men and boys who
work. Not to build up a school to
substitute existing schools but to sup
work done, until such time as regular
agencies may take up the work.
The commercial department Is now
completely organized. Mr.. Tyler Of
the Pensacola High School will direct
the class in shorthand and typewriting,
and with the Introduction Of the latest,
most complete and simplest texts upon
shorthand and touch typewriting,
there is no doubt but that this class
will turn out its quota Of successful
young men this year. Mr., Holt has
made good with his class in book
keeping and has developed consider
able enthusiasm for this valuable
training. To better accommodate a
number who desired to enter the
business English, arithmetic and pen
manship class and upon the same even
ing take gymnasium work or other
class work. special arrangements have
been made for that class to convene
for one hour. from 7 to s p. m. on
Tuesdays and Fridays.
The technical department shows
much growth on account of the good
work done last year. Architectural
drawing has been added to the me-
chanical drawing and practical math-
ematics OF last years program. All
Of the old students who completed
their year are lback this season and
almost as many more. There is not
course in architectural or mechan-
ical drawing with Mr.. Towse.
The new class in shop arithmetic
has proved a success and Mr.. Martin
Is making good.
The outlook for the boys depart
ment is good, and the attendance Of
so many of the last years boys shows
the appreciation on their part OF the
desire Of the institute to supply their
educational need in a practical way.
The Junior boys under Mr.. Edwards
and the senior boys under Mr.. Mac
Dowell are as enthusiastic in their
studies as in the indoor baseball
game they played after school with
Mr.. Hopper last Thursday evening.
It will doubtless be necessary TO put
on another class for boys who though
working are DESTROYS Of taking Alge-
bra and other higher studies with the
hope OF returning to school and COM
pleting a college course.
All Of the educational classes have
been arranged so that those who de-
sire to enter the physical department
may find proper gymnasium classes
upon alternat nights.
