week sold to Mr.. NJ. Wall two blocks
on Hawkins street belonging to eX-
Mayor Howell A. Davis.
1t is Mr.. Wallis purpose to build a
residence for himself and to improve
the balance of the space by erecting
neat tenement houses, the latter very
much needed in Palatka at the present
time and for which there is indica-
tons of a growing need.
Mr.. Wall formerly lived in Palatka
and was engaged in turpentine oper-
atoms at Lundy and other points in
the county and state. After selling
his interests here he went to Georgia
and continued his operations in ter
pentine until such time as he conclud-
ed he had enough to place him on
Easy street for the balance Of his
time on earth.
He also concluded on looking over
the field that there was no more prom
Using spot on this side of the earth
than Palatka. 1t was a clean, well
kept city; it had lots of the right
kind of people; it was a go-ahead city
of the first order; it would suit botn
himself and Mrs. Wall for home;
hence the purchase. Palatka wei

PALATAK GRIEF
STRICKEN over
Death of Mrs. Howard ROWtOn
Last SUNDAY Morning

Though not unexpected by those
of her family and friends who had
kept loving watch through her
weary hours of sickness and suffer
ing in the days and nights since she
was first stricken, nevertheless the
death of Mrs. Howard Rowton at an
early hour last Sunday morning
came as a shock which stirred to the
depth of their emotional natures her
hosts of friends in this city. To the
members of her immediate family,
her young husband and fond and de-
voted mother the grief is beyond So
lace.
Through several weary weeks every
thing known to medical science had
been used to defeat death. Loving
hearts ministered to her and did al!
in their power to stay the onward
march of the destroyer, but to no
avail. She breathed her last at 7:3I

CITY IS ENJ0|NED
FROM LEASING PITS
l.. l.. Goddard Is Plaintiff for
Improvement League
in Action.

A temporary Injunction enjoining the
city from leasing its gravel and sand
pits above Fourteenth avenue on the
northeast bench was issued by Judge c.
w. Morse yesterday and was served on
members Of the city commission last
night. The suit on which the injunction
was Issued had not been fled at closing
hour yesterday. l. l.. Goddard, repre-
senting the Northbench Improvement
league, is the plaintiff.
Bids for the leases have been received
by the city commission. but action has
been deferred owing to the protests OF
property owners In that district, who
lease the pits because the land en-
bracng them was decided to the city as
site for a PUBLIC park.
Commissioner George d. Keyser OF
parks and public property. 70 whom the
bids were referred. was Informed by the
city attorney. II. ]. Dininny, yesterday
that the city had no right TO lease the
pits,
Tho chief objection OF property own
ers is that grades have not been estab-
ished in that vicinity and the opera
tion OF gravel pits might spoil the land
scape, The city attorney takes the same
stand, He told Mr.. Keyser yesterday
that the only way tho pits could be op-
Grated would be 10 establish the neces-
sary grades and then let contracts for
the removal OF a certain amount OF
gravel.
At a. conference between representa-
uves of p. j. Moran, who is the highest
bidder for the lease. and Commissioner
keyser yesterday afternoon. II was
agreed that II such procedure is re-
sorted to. Moran would give bond to In
sure the city from damage arising by
cutting below grades or for any despoil-
ing OF the landscape. Moran has offered
the city $4,000 for a three-year lease or
the pits.
In view OF the injunction proceedings,
however IL Is not likely that any at
tempt will be made TO operate the pits
in any way until the matter is settled
In the courts. The order issued by Judge
Morse yesterday Is returnabe Saturday,
March 20. before Judge T. ID. Lewis,
when the city Will have TO show cause

ioined from lea sing tho pite
