improvements. If streets are laid
before pipes are laid, water mains
extended and sewers constructed.
then great additional expense would
be necessarily incurred in tearing up
the paved streets, and the material
could never be replaced in as good
condition as before. If there has
been any definite plan or system OF
sewerage decided upon. suitable,
practicable, and we'll adapted to the
purposes intended, with an approx
nation of costs. the matter has not
been made public, SO far as l know.
Many competent to judge seem to
think that the system now in use
for the last quarter of century is
better than any other that can be de-
vised to meet the natural conditions
and surroundings: repeated investi-
cations have been made and no
harmful results OF any character
have been revealed, or even suggest
ed. Observation and experience
have always been relied upon as SAT-
er teachers than mere theory. Let
us feel reasonably assured before in
curing heavy expense that any
substitute system will be safer and
an improvement over the existing
system. 1t is contended however,
that the present system is unlawful
under chapter SAB of the laws of
rFlorida, acts of 1913. This act Is Of
very doubtful construction. While
the second section standing alone
prohibits discharge of sewage into
underground waters within the cor
porate limits of any city or town, or
within five miles thereof, the fifth
section of the act also provides that
such discharge of sewage shall be
having been SO ordered by the State
Board of Health" Taking the en-
tire act into consideration and con-
STRUNG it as a whole-which is the
only proper method of Interpretation
the courts would probably con-
strue it to mean that any existing
system of underground sewerage
would not offend against the law un-
til the order for discontinuance shall
have been given. | cannot conceive
of such an order being made by the
State Board of Health until some
better system has been devised and
put into effect. The city is without
funds to provide for any other feas-
ible method. The voter is denied
the right to vote separately upon
bonds for sewerage. He cannot get
a different system of sewerage now
unless he takes with it municipal
ice plant, and all the other contem-
plated Improvements. Responsible
ty therefore does not rest with the

the c:ty's one-third is ultimately
paid by taxes assessed against abut-
ting and all the other taxable

my purpose to minimize the advan-
tages, usefulness and benefits of
paved streets. They add much to the
comfort, enjoyment and luxury of
the public generally, and especially
TO automobile joy-riders. They are
expensive and should be constructed,

Fifth: Public Buildings and Parks
Expensive public buildings of ar
chitectura1 beauty and design, invit-
ing parks with winding cement
walks, all beautifully ornamented
with shrubs, flowers and playing
fountains, are consummations de-
voutly to be wished for, but can
these improvements take precedence
over the absolute necessities? Would
it not be wise to take up, deal with,
and provide necessities first? When
all OF those are provided for in the
order OF their Importance, useful
ness and needs, let us then look after

ed TO deal with any legal features
involved N the passage AMI submits
sion. or the subject matter of the or
dinance, but have only given my
views from the standpoint OF ex-
pediency and policy
am informed that the city is so
heavily indebted that it became ne
cessary for the council, ostensibly
acting as board of equalization, to
more than double the valuation of
taxable property as made by the city
assessor, in order to provide for
this bunch bond issue, and bring the
outstanding and contemplated in
debtedness within the 200 limit I'M
posed by the city charter act. / VII
not dwell upon this feature of in
debtedness, but hope some one better
qualified will publish a statement as
to the outstanding Indebtedness as
evidenced by bonds, scrip. warrants
loans, bills payable and otherwise.
Much more might be said on this
Ifruitful subject, but / am admontsh-
ed that this article is already toe
long to ask for its publication, and
If turned down / cannot justly com.
plain
In conclusion permit me to say
that If this bond issue is defeated a
the polls, any urgent needed i'm
provement need not be long post
poned, as a new ordinance confined
to such matters as may be mos
needed can be passed and voted upor
Within sixty days. if the powers tina
be, should feel so disposed.
If the views I have freely and can
dfdly expressed classes me and 9th
ers who think likewise as moss
backs reactionary, pessimistic kick

BROTHERS AT FRONT
L. S. Dawson's Brother Has Two
Horses Shot Under Him.

L. S. Dawson, of this city, has two
brothers with the English forces on
the continent, tho where they are is
not known, according to letter which
Mr.. Dawson has received from his
mother in London. She says:
81 think you will like to know how
the boys are getting on so will try to
get this scribbled off for today's mail.
Well. Bert and Mac are at the front
and Stan is still at Vantage but ex-
poets to 60 at any minute. Bert is
in the thick of the fighting and has
had two wonderful escapes. He has
had two horses shot from under him,
but he has come out all right. Mac
is, we suppose, in France but the des-
tination of them is never known and
all the letters they send are read and
have to be passed by the censor.
There isn't post mark or anything
that can give US any idea where they
are. I will give you Macs and
Bert's addresses so that if you feel
inclined you can send them a line.
They would be delighted and if you
could send them little tobacco OIL
some cigarettes they would very much
appreciate it. | am sending hemp,
chocolate and tobacco this week and
some newspapers.

DEADLY sHRAPNEL.
Good "Man Killers" but Their Effee-
tiveness is Limited.

Good "Man Killers" but Their Effee-
tiveness is Limited
Shrapnel, so called after their in
ventor, the British General Shrapnel,
are thin cases of tough steel contain
ing a large number of buliets-in the
British artillery 263 and in the French
and German 3OO-with small burst
ing charge at the base Of the prOjectile.
The bursting charge breaks the thin
steel case, when the bullets sweep for
ward with the velocity impaired to the
projectile by the gun. Shrapnel are
regarded as good man killers" but
they are quite ineffective against
buildings, where shells are deadly.
For the attack Of field guns and build
ings and for action against troops in
trenches most armies employ howitZ-
ers, which are short, SQUAT guns that
toss their projectiles high in the air,
high angle ire.
In the British army every division
has ffty-four field guns and eighteen
howitzers. These howitzerS are of 4.5
inch caliber, firing shell 40 inch in
diameter and weighing rhirty-fve
pounds. They have range of 1900
yards, which is 1000 yards greater
than the range Of the British field gun.
The defect of the howitzer. is that
its shell is very heavy, and conse-
quently much fewer rounds can be
carried than with the field gun. There
is no security that single howitzer
shell will do twice the damage of an
ordinary field gun shell, though it
weighs twice as much.
The French do not employ a howitz-
er in their field artillery. The Ger
mans use a heavy pattern OF six inch
caliber. firing a shell of about ninety
pounds. and lighter pattern OF ~
inch caliber New York SlHl
