SAY CURB LINE
CONFORMS TO
Street GRADE
BOARD OF BOND TRUSTEES u.s.
SUES A STATEMENT, RELATIVE
TO LINE GIVEN FOR THE NEW
KEYsER BUILDING ON PALA.
FOX STREET.

According to tAe board of bond
trustees the curb line supplied for the
new Keyser building on North Pala-
fox street, conforms with the street
grade established by the city council
in 1903. The board last night issued
the following, supposedly as a reply
to the editorial of The Journal on this
matter and the statement Of City
Engineer L. Earle Thornton, publish
ed yesterday morning, in which he
stated that he invited an investiga-
ton:
Pensacola, Fla, Oct Z, 1912.
ITO the Public:
we think there Is a general mis-
apprehension on the part of the public
as to the facts in the matter of the
curb line on Palafox street at the
new Keyser building. While the new
curb line is one to three inches high
er than the present sidewalk at that
point, the door entrances are all one
and one-half inches higher than the
curb line. This one and one-half
inches is sufficient to clear the side
walk of water at all times. The con-
tract for the building calls also for
the building of a new sidewalk.
The buildings ground floor is
about three inches higher than the
building line at the door entrances,
and the floor Of the building is there
fore about four and one half inches
higher than the curb line
THE curb line as located by Mr..
Rommel. the boards engineer. is in
accordance with the street grade as
established by the council April rs,
1909. and approved April 2eth. 1909
