ton nevertheless exists among those
parties. 1t is because the promoters
do not know the first letter Of "loyal-
ty." Otherwise! they would express
no surprise. The G. C. Bulletin also
contains reference to the academy.
We feel safe in stating that inasmuch
rs The Heights honestly lost its equity
in the property through a bonded
mortgage, during period of adverse
conditions and misfortune, regardless
Of taxation, cannot be fairly construed
as a disgrace any more so than
against an individual.
A counter-charge, cited in the G..
{. Bulletin article, is to the effect
that The Heights council constantly
INDUCES in "Secret Sessions" No
doubt most everyone is familiar with
4 precocious boys first plea when he
is discovered purloining jam: q
don't care, I'll tell mommer you did it
to-" My dear fellow neighbors your
city fathers were caught at the "iam
rot" thus they portray the small boy
above referred to.
The Editor of the News enquiries,
why the Hon. (?) J. p. Wall did moi
come in for some of the blame in the
annexation matter. He will like all
others in the case, come in for hi
share when the proper time comes.
The truth Of the last six liens of the
lcnth stanza Of Lord Byron's Mazeppa
will again be demonstrated.
Upon weighing the inanities of Mr..
Russell, we beg to ask, how much
realty tax does he pay towards your
clty,s development? 1t is almost
"Nuff said" to state that he can more
easily avoid printers pie than a po
I!tical one.
Coming to the argument that, we
cannot acquire civic improvements
because we levied no taxes, we reit-
crate our statement of few weeks
ago:"realizing that condition demand
progressive Improvements, our Off
clalS directed the preparation of as
Sessment roll of taxation more than
SIX months ago, that we might secure
funds this fall for necessary admin
lstration. 1t looks now as though
some one became aware of our pur-
pose, and became envious Of our pros
poets.
The upshot of the citys predatory
methods has been the enforced eX-
penditure by us of $4,000 which was
the neucleus Of our improvement fund.
In addition to that personal subscrip-
TONS by our citizens and innumera-
bic Sympathizers in Palatka, aggre-
eating $4,000, is the approximate
total OF our enforced expenditure for
defense.
Otherwise we could have put that
fund into our improvements. How
much have your officials expended in
thelr attack upon US, that would bet
ter have been spent in necessary i'm
provement of highways, etc, around
the clty'S 234 vacant blocks.
we see but one solution to the prob. |
lem that confronts you: Vote Against
Annexation, as the surest means of |
conserving your vital interests and
eliminating costly litigation.
Demand consistency of YOUR law
makers by voting against annexation |
on August 9Th, 1913. Vote, Not Mo- |
No! first, last and for all time.
We quote the golden rule. "Do unto |
others, as You would they should do |
unto you"

the voting took place after the doors
were opened, the reading of the reso-
