CITY may REVIVE
ANCIENT TITLES
Property Owners Of Pensacola Panic
Stricken Over Action Of
The Commissioners.
MUCH PROPERTY INVOLVED
Grants Given by Spaniards to City
Years Ago May Be Claimed
BY Law.

Pensacola-If an ordinance now
pending is passed by the city com
missioners, it will subject to litiga
ton in the courts many homes and
much property in the city of Pensacola
and cause hundreds of residents
to defend title to their property.
The measure, accompanied by an
agreement, which is referred to in
the ordinance, contracts with Lee
Daniel and Aubrey Maura to recover
for the city all property to which the
city has title, and authorizes them to
bring suits and do other things to Sc
cure possession OF such property.
The passage of such an ordinance
might subject practically every piece
of property in the city limits to liti-
gaton. The titles to much of this prop,
erty were at one time vested in the
city, owing to Spanish ownership and
grants, and there is no doubt but that
much of it can still be traced back
to the city, although the present own
ers may have purchased it in good
faith fifty or more years ago and have
possessed and paid taxes on its for
life time.

few states which will not have to make
any change in its banking laws in or

rency act.
Many OF the states, it is said, have
laws which prohibit their state banks
from owning stock in other states
This will prevent the banks from join
ing the federal reserve system, as it is
necessary in order to join to own stock
in a reserve bank. State banks, which
are eligible to become national banks
and which can conform to certain re-
strictions, have the right to become
members of the federal reserve sys-

There is no conflict between the
