EXPRESSIONS OF
ONE WHO KNOWS
Travelling Man of Promi-
nence Says That the Deep
Water City is Sure to Ac-
quire That Position as a
Seaport to Which She is
Entitled and That at No
Distant Date.

c. W. Olson, Of Atlanta manager OF
States Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany. Of Baltimore, who visits Pensa-
cola semi annually and who has
watched its growth for a number OF
years, was a guest OF the San Car
los last night
In speaking of the Deep Water City,
Mr. Olson said:
There are 900 cities in the South
within the jurisdiction of my depart
ment There are none among these
which appeal to me more favora'bly
than does Pensacola 7 have watched
with l1eenest interest its development
in recent years. You have a magni-
ficent location and your public and
private buildings have so rapidly en-
hanced in every respect that the oc-
csssiona. visitor, like myself, is sur
prised and gratified by the changing
scenes. I am especially pleased to
note the step for a belt line and muni-
cfpal docks. The value of these in the
development OF your city is beyond
computation. With such a harbor so
located as to make It superior in many
respects to any other on the gulf Pen
saeo1a. has herself to blame II she does
rot grow by leaps and bounds, In my
opinion no other gulf or south Allan
tic port city will excel Pensacola in
her next ten years advancement.
'"The glaring defect Of this and
other deep water cities is the absence
of any coastwise boat service worthy
of the name. Except where the pop
u,ation is so great as to force 1t on
American people and allow certain in
fluences to suppress and reduce to a
pitiful minimum our use of an asset OF
incalculajb!e value. The amazing thinS
is that Pensacola does not have daily
passenger and freight connections by
water with Tampa New Orleans AMI
Mobile
Mr.. Olson viii be here for two or
three days and hopes to have the op
portunity of visiting several places OF
interest before he leaves the city.
