REGULAR Meeting
CITY COUNCIL

City council met in regular session
Tuesday night.
In addition to routine business the
contract for the new sidewalks or
dered on Carr, Oak, Laurel, Thir-
teenth and Fifteenth streets was Civ
en- to o. B. Webster of DeLand.
The act of the council that has
caused a great deal of unfavorable
comment was the motion made that
took the keeping of the city park out
of the hands of the ladies. AS the
ladies started the park by raising
$575 by private subscription and oth-
erwise, and as the present state Of
beauty is due to their care, large
number Of citizens have expressed in.
dignation at the act of the council.
The street committee, F. H. Wilson.
chairman, with City Engineer Stal.
lings, was instructed to look into the
matter of purchasing a sprinkler anJ
sweepers for the streets. The COM
mittee will ascertain prices and re
port at the next council meeting.

Meeting OF
BOARD TRADE

A large number of Palatka's rep
resentative businesss men attended
the regular meeting of the board of
trade last Monday night.
The report of the committee which
returned from DeLand last Saturday
with victory perched on its banner
described the very excellence of the
arrangements of the DeLand citizens
for receiving and entertaining the
1913 convention of the Florida Horti-
cultural Society, and how hard the
committee worked to obtain the 1914
convention for Palatka. The commit
tee was rendered a vote of thanks
and heartily commended for their
splendid and successful work. The
committee was ably assisted in their
work by Mrs. Warner Hamm and
Miss Mervin Ray.
The committee composed of F. ].
Fearnside and Henry Hutchinson
which had, at the request of the board
of trade, attended the meeting of the
county division committee of the leg
islature to protest against any part
OF Putnam county's being used in the
formation of the proposed new county
of Santa Fe, reported having attended
said meeting, and successfully car
ried out the object of their mission
to the state capital
Good roads came in for it's usual
semi-monthly discussion with the re-
suit that Col. S. j. Hilburn, City En-
gineer Stallings and County Commits
sioner Curry were appointed a COM
mittee to investigate and report on
the feasibility of joining Clay county
with brick road way from Duval
county to Palatka.
The subject Of equalization of as
seSsments for taxation was discussed
and the sense of the meeting declared
to favor radical changes in the pres
ent assessment methods, and in the
laws governing same.
1t was not until the question of fire
and the rates of insurance against loss
by this element was brought up by
His Honor, Mayor USina, that heat
enough was engendered to threaten
the advisability of calling out the new
auto fire truck. 1t seems that through
some hitch in the details the prom
sed reduction of rates through the
purchase of this modern fire fighter
has been delayed. When this was
explained, offensive and defensive dis
cussOn ended.
As whole, the meeting was prob
ably the best ever held by the board
and much business was transacted
which, it is hoped, will inure to the
benefit Of the community.

Under Gov. Trammell's Bill.

nell and introduced by Representative
Iomlin of Hillsboro has not met the

There are certain portions of the
measure that do not conform to eX-
sting opinions and the pervading con-
census is that it is doomed unless sa-
iient amendments are made thereto.
In the first place newspapers are
forbidden to publish matter that they
nave contended their inalienable right
for centuries and this contention will

The expenditures allowed for can
lidates contains no very alarming

following, objection is sure to be sus-
tanned: THAT all campaign litera-
cure and political advertisements pub
llshed or circulated prior to or on the
day of a primary election, shall be
signed by the author thereof, and if
the same is being published and cir
culated by club or a committee,
then it shall be signed by the chair
man or secretary of said committee
and all such literature shall have upon
It the name of the printer or pub
Usher All political advertisements
shall be marked paid advertisements.

per must print any attack without

furthermore information that they
nave served the attacked party with
a copy of the same, making the edi-

iiculous position.

anything about a candidate without

for him, this church has lost a strong
pillar IN its moral and spiritual as
well as material support. That the
community and all associated with
nm have been parted from a true
friend and benefactor. The tears
which fell when news of his patient
suffering and death came to his
friends IN Pomona and the tears shed
today In grateful memory of his faith
ful service come from hearts filled
with genuine sorrow that he is no
more, for God has taken him home
We further
Resolve, That because of his noble
NE and christian fidelity to the trust
given him, we renew our consecra-
tlor to the tasks which he left nm
hnlshed-tasks left to us-our her
ltage, and hasten to assure his daugh-
ter whose feelings of grief and loss
cut deeply into her life, that such is
our purpose.
Servant of God, well done.

The battle fought, the victory won.
