At Union Square the governor ex-
pressed the belief that radical tariff

of the average American. Before the

After considering the petition pre-
sented by some property owners along
PalafoX street, the board of bond trus-
tees last night decided to adhere TO
the plan of paving that thoroughfare,
oeeming 1t unwise and inexpedient TO
make any changes whatever. The
street, therefore, when the new wood
block paving is laid, will be 50 feet in
width from Garden street south to
Palafox wharf.
The plans under which the trustees
are now working were adopted by the
city council over year ago, after con-
siderable publicity was given as to tho
streets to be paved and the width OF
them. These plans are in conformity
to those adopted about five years ago,
say the bond trustees.
The reasons why the board favors
the present lines are that by carrying
them through Palafox street will be
Strengthened and a uniform width
maintained from Garden street south
to the bay. At present the street is 50
feet in width at some points. So at
others and 5S at few places. with
width OF 81 feet the curb lines can be
Strengthened and the street present
uniform appearance.
The paving work will be commenced
within the next three weeks. The
granite curbing to be used is expected
here within two weeks and will be
placed at once.
The city has not yet commenced to
move the old paving, the work being
done near Main street by the PenTa :
cola Electric Co, being only i'm placing
some switches that cars may be trans
ferred from one track to another on
reaching Main street

Five reasons being advanced as
arguments in its favor, a petition is
now being circulated and will later be
presented to the board of bond trus-
tees, asking that Palafox street be
paved as far north as the city limits.
The petition will be presented as soon
as 1t has been freely circulated and as
many names as possible have been Sc
cured.
Three copies Of the petition are being
circulated, the owners of the property
abutting the section Of the street
which the bond trustees are asked to
pave. each property owner putting
down opposite his name the number of
front feet owned, one for the citizens
Of the city generally to sign and the
third to be signed by people who use
the street, whether residents of the
city or not.
THE REASONS.
The reasons given by the petitioners
each of which is explained at length
are as follows:
First: Palafox street, they claim, is
the main thoroughfare of the city and
the main entrance to Pensacola, for
teams.
Second: There is a greater amount
of travel over this street than any
other in the city.
Third: 1t should be paved on ac-
count of the manufacturing industries
at Goulding, and because so many
farmers travel this street and because
of the heavy traffic over IL.
Fourth: On account of the heavy
travel, 1t is claimed, 1t is next to i'm
possible to keep the hard road in a
proper condition of repair.
Fifth: Gadsden street is paved to
the limits on the east and Barrancas
avenue Is paved to the limits on the
west, (both of which the petitioners
admit is proper) but they also believe
that the main thoroughfare and en-
trance to the city should be paved to
the limits also. -
