TIC THE CITY COUNCIL

The undersigned citizens Of Ocala
respectfully present to your honora-
BILE body this petition and respectfully
request that your body give to the
matters therein contained careful
consideration.
Your petitioners show that that
street known as Osceola street, lying
between Fort King avenue and South
Third street, in the city of Ocala, is
now and has been in bad condition,
especially during the rainy weather;
that during the rainy weather the
said street becomes extremely muddy
and disagreeable, so much so that it
is impossible for citizens to traverse
same on foot; that the said street is
very narrow, due to the fact that the
distance between the railroad track
and the property bordering on the
east side of the street is only about
Is feet.
| Your petitioners respectfully re
quest that the said street be made
wider, and that a sidewalk be put on
same so that citizens may traverse
said street.
| Your petitioners show that it is
very convenient for many of the resi-
dents of the second ward to use said
street, and that some improvements
are essential and necessary for such
use.
Your petitioners suggest that some
of the citizens owning property to
the east of said street will be willing
to give to the city enough space tc
widen and broaden the said street
and they urge that the matter re
ceive your immediate attention.

Dixie recommends Jacksonville
and Duval county to make provision
for separation Of youthful offenders
against the law from older crimi-
mails. 1t is a step that should be
taken by every city and county,
Ocala and Marion county included.
Keeping the boys away from harden
ed criminals will occasionally save
one for useful citizenship and that
would be worth considerable extra
expense.

4 PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
Let the Council Pass the Library Or.
dinance Over the Mayors Veto
and the Courts Decide on
the Measure

Editor star.
Permit me, as president OF the La
dies Library Association of our city,
to use your columns to suggest to the
city council at this time only one
point concerning the mayors veto Of
the library ordinance, and what seems
to me would justify, if not require, it
in justice 10 the large cumbersome
four hundred and ifty-of our citi-
zens who requested him to approve
it, representing, if | am not mistaken,
a large majority in amount CT taxes
collected, TO veto it. In this instance
we have a mayo. of a city multiplying
an act of the legislature because, in
his opinion it is unconstitutional, and,
if the council does not pass the ordi-
nance over his veto, it assumes the
same attitude. | believe that the
courts are the tribunals selected by
the people to say whether an act Of
their representatives is unconstitu-
tional; and the courts, | am told, ARE
bound to uphold the statutes, unless
they are clearly in conflict with the
constitution So says the supreme
court of Florida, and the supreme
court of the United States says: "a
statute is not to be pronounced void
upon the ground of repugnancy to the
constitution, unless such repugnancy
| be clear and the conclusion that it eX-
| lists inevitable" Such, | am told, is
said by that court to be an axiom in
american Jurisprudence
Is it clear that a public library is
not for a municipal purpose?
| believe that most people think it
serves a most useful purpose in a mu-
nicipal government. But l do not wish
to go into that now. | suggest that
the proper and just course to pursue
is to pass the ordinance over the
veto: then, if the council in 1914 lev
les the tax, any tax payer may test
the whole proceeding in a simple, ex-
peditious and comparatively inexpen-
sive proceeding in courts, and, vice
versa. Amelia Lee McConathy.

ONLY TO BE EXPECTED

Lakeland Telegram: 1t was re-
Gently sent out over the state as
news from a Washington source that
Senator Fletcher would return to
Florida during the holidays TO take
personal charge of his campaign for
denomination and remain until the
June primaries. Of course the idea
was to create the impression that
the senator would thereby neglect
his official duties to promote his pri-
vate interests. He is back in Flor
ida all right, taking his holiday at
home, as are nearly all other mem
bers Of both houses of Congress, but
he will return to his duties in Wash
ington early in January. 1t is already
clear that campaign misrepresenta-
ton is to be made against Senator
Fletcher in the absence of valid
reasons against his reelection.
