PANAMA CITY
POST OFFICE
BUSINESS INCREASING RAPIDLY
AND NEW QUARTERS NOW A
NECESSITY. ..e.s..s.r

The business done by a postoffice
is a good indication of the Importance
of a city and the figures shown by the
reports of the Panama City postofice
indicate substantial growth during the
past few years. The office was opened
under its present name in 1906, the
first record of a registry being on Au-
gust 80 of that year. The postoffice
building is located upon the city wharf
at the foot of Harrison Avenue, the
principal business street and the quar-
ters are entirely too small for the vol
ume of business that is being done.
The postmaster, Mr.. All Hogeboom. a,
former resident of Pensacola, expects
to receive authority to move into
more adequate quarters in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. Hogeboom, by the way,
rented the first box at the Panama
City postoffice, and although he has
been in the place but a few years, is
one Of the "old' residents.
The stamp sales for the Office for
the quarter ending December 81 were
$1,34S79. The sales for the same quar-
ter of 1912 were only $964.66., The
December money order business of the
office totalled $3,S30.36 and the Janu-
airy money order business was So, 1865 90.

mated depository for postal savings

Growth Rapid During Past
Four Years and Outlook
n For Future Promising.
sANAaIA CITY SECTION

Several years ago. while the govern
ment was strenuously tackhng the
Panama canal problem, somebody in
the bay country had a happy thought
and Panama City is the result. The
original settlement at what is now
Panama City was called Park Resort,
this later being changed to Harrison.
Ten or twelve years ago there was
practically nothing al Panama City;
even five years ago there was little to
indicate that today there would soon
be a city OF 5000 inhabitants on the
shores of st. Andrews Bay directly
opposite the entrance to the harbor.
Today the future is assured and it will
be but a few years until Panama City
will be a city in reality as well as in
name. The start has already been
made. and the people are progressing
with an eye TO the future. There is no
boom" at Panama City, and probably
never will be. but the growth is steady
and substantial; realty values are con-
sentative, everything considered. The
city, has a nucleus of a fine sewerage
system, and first class water works
and. in the course of a short time, Will
have an electric Lighting plant Bonds
have been authorized for the improve
ment of streets and other issues will
follow as soon as the necessity for
them becomes apparent.
Opposite Harbor Entrance.
Panama City is located on the shores
of ST. Andrews Bay directly opposite
the entrance to the harbor, but pro-
tected from the gulf by what is
known as the Calhoun peninsula, about
a mile and a half distant. To the east
of the city is Messalina bayou. a beau
tiful sheet of water, upon the shores
of which a number of beautiful sum
mer and winter homes have been
erected To the westward is the town
of St. Andrews, the oldest town upon
tn bay. The land rises gradually from
the shores of the bay. reaching an
elevation of 20 to so feet within a
short distance from the shore line. The
city owns and maintains its own wharf.

now under way for extensive improve
ments to this property. Water is sup
piled to the residents from deep ar
tesian wells, from which the supply is

pumped TO a large tank, giving the
necessary pressure for domestic or fire
use. One mile and a quarter of sewer
system has already been completed and
plans are under way for a considerable
extension of this system within a short
time.
The assessed valuation of city prop
erty is in the neighborhood of S65O,00O
and the city tax rate is not mills,
which is ample for all ordinary pur-
poses under present conditions. There
are eleven brick business houses in
the city and others are in contempia-
ton, the most notable of which is the
new structure to be erected by the
First National bank in the heart of the
business district Hundreds of hand
some homes have been erected in Pan
anna City and on the shores of the
bay Immediately contiguous to the
city and many more have been con-
posite the city, where the location is
particulrly desirable during the win
ter OF summer months. Plans have
been made for the construction of
street car line to connect Panama City
with the towns of Millville and Monroe
town, about wo miles distant, and
when this is in operation the de-
velopment of the land between these
places will progress rapidly.
Bonds For improvements.
The sum of $4,000 has been voted
by the citizens of Panama City for
a magnificent city school building and
it is expected that work upon this will
begin during the coming summer. A
site for the county court house has
also been reserved, and, following the
election of May :. if Panama City is
chosen for the county seat, arrange
ments will be made to construct fine
county buildings without delay. A fine
Chamber of Commerce building is now
in course of erection and this, when
completed, will be made the center
of commercial and Industrial activity.
officers of the Chamber of Commerce
are; r. L. Mckenzie, president: G. NJ.
ChandIee vice. president; o. p. Nc
Kenzie, secretary. The building is
spacious. with large porches entirely
surrounding it, both on the first and
second floors. The first floor will be
devoted to the business of the aSSo-
citation and the second floor to a large
hall for use of lodges and societies,
as well as dances. The building IS
we'll located. but a few steps from
the business section of the city on the
bay shore. It's construction was un-
dertaken by a stock company formed
for the purpose.
Panama City is the terminus of the
Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay railroad
and the company has extensive wharf
age facilities which will be eventually
utilized in handling the traffic that IS
expected to flow into and out of ST.
Andrews Bay following the compile
ton of the Panama Canal. Another
railroad, the Birmingham. Columbus
and st. Andrews, which now has its
terminal at Southport, is constructing
an extension of the line 20 Panama
City and has secured extensive ter
minal properties at Bunker's Cove, in
the eastern section Of the city, where
deep water is available within a short
distance of the shore. Panama City
is connected with every portion of st.
Andrews bay by regular lines of
launches, and with Pensacola, Mobile,
Apalachicola and Carrabelle by the
steamer Tarpon. which makes weekly

of the Tarpon in preparing for the

completion of the canal connecting st.
Andrews bay and the Apalachicola
river.

The city has two church edifices,
Methodist and Baptist and the Pres

erection of church. There is no
Catholic church, but arrangements
have been practically perfected for the
erection of a large Catholic church

day life and brought not more
than 300 voters to the polls.
With the exception of C. L. Hol-

Citizens ticket as nominated at
the primary was elected with on
ly few scattering votes. C. B.
Hamlet, who became candidate
for city attorney after Mr.. Hol-
combs withdrawal was elected
by means of stickers. Notwith-
standing the fact that F. r. JEFF

because he has not been resi-
dent oft. he city a year, many of
his friends voted for him and his
total was only 27 votes less than
that of Mr.. Hamlet.
