COMING SOUTH ALONG
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Allen Stems, his brother and a
friend who are cruising south on the
Stems new houseboat via the Missis-
sippi river and Gulf of Mexico, have
put in to New Orleans for few days.
Owing to the shallowness of the
canals through which they passed it
was found necessary to repaint the
under body of the yacht with copper
before proceeding.
Peter Stems expects the arrival of
his sons at Daytona about January 1.
The party is reported to be having a
pleasant trip, experiencing mild
weather.

AUSTRIA PROBABLY Will
YIELD TO U. s. DEMANDS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The American
note is expected to be delivered to the Vienna gov
ernrnent tonight. Intimations have been received
today that decided change in Austria's attitude
has taken place. These intimations are based on
confidential advces from Berlin and it is now ex-
pected that Austria will yield to the demands of the
United States.
Secretary Lansing refused to discuss the matter
but it has become known that Germany is exerting
redOubled pressure on the Vienna government to
prevent break and the probabilities are that the
Berlin government will succeed in its efforts

DAYTONA SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
-
DECLARED Unconstitutional
POINTS DEFECTS IN
ACT OF LEGISLATURE
LITTLE PROSPECT OF GETTING
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL FAcILI-
TIES UNTIL AFTER LEGIsLA-
TURE MEETS AGAIN.

That the bond issue of $4,000 voted
by the Daytona special tax school dis
trict on the 10thsof last August is not
in accordance with the constitution Of
Florida, is the essence of an opinion
rendered by Dillon, Thompson & Clay,
New York bond attorneys.
Landis, Fish & Hull, attorneys for
the Volusia county board of public
instruction, yesterday received the
opinion of the New York attorneys,
who are passing on the legality of
the bond issue for the county school
board before offering the bonds for
sale,
The opinion recites that Section II,
Article IL, of the Florida constitution,
was added in 1912 and under that
amendment the law creating the Day
tona special district was created, and
this act provides that the trustees of
special tax school districts shall, af-
ter their election and qualification,
purchase all school property owned
by the city of Daytona and that the
transfer of such property shall carry
with it any liability or Indebtedness
that may exist against said munich
pality for school purposes, either by
bond issue or otherwise" and such
bond issue is declared to be and be-
come a valid and legal obligation of
the district, "as if and as fully as if
said liability had been incurred by
bonds issued by said special tax
school district itself" The language
in the above quotation refers to
previous school bond issue of $4,000
voted previous to the erection of the
present school building.
The opinion of the New York law
yers goes. on to recite that Section
II of Article II of the constitution Of
Florida declares "The legislature may
provide for special tax school districts
or issue bonds for the exclusive use
of public free tax school district,
whenever majority of the qualified
voters thereof who are freeholders
shall vote in favor of the issuance of
such bonds" The opinion of Dillon,
Thompson & Clay then goes on to
say: These provisions cast seri-

HEAVY PRECIPITATION FOR
THIS SEASON OF THE YEA

The total amount of rainfall dur
ing Sunday night and Monday and
Monday night is reported by J. G.
Brown at 1.5S inches, an unusually
heavy precitation for this season of
the year. The heavy wind Monday
was also more like that of a fall
storm than an ordinary norther. The
fact that the storm at its beginning
Sunday evening was accompanied by
thunder and lightning presaged the
fall in temperature so noticeable this
morning according TO the belief of
the older inhabitants OF the country
who are familiar with the weather
conditions.

AGAIN
UNDER way IN CITY
INJUNCTION SUIT
FINAL TESTIMONY BEING TAKEN
IN SUIT TO TEST RIPARIAN
OWNERSHIP CLAIMED BY THE
BRIDGE COMPANY.

With a probability of having the
most voluminous record of testimony
of any like case in the legal annals of
Florida, the Injunction suit of the
City of Daytona against the Daytona
Bridge company was resumed in this
city today by the taking of testimony
before Hon. ]. Lee McCrory, special
master.
= The action was brought by the city
against the corporation which owns
the Central bridge year ago last Ju-
ly, seeking to prevent the bridge COM
pany from continuing fill in the
Halifax river which had been start
ed The action will also determine
the ownership of riparian rights to
the neighboring property.
The City of Daytona is represented
by City Attorney E. F. Oates, and
Landis, Fish & Hull, while Fleming &
Fleming of Jacksonville, and Stewart
& Stewart represent the. defendant
corporation.
Most of the testimony to be taken
on behalf of the city was closed last
September and it is probable that tes-
timony of various people in behalf
of the bridge company will occupy the
balance of this week.
After the testimony is completed it
will be transcribed and the case will
probably be adjudicated in the early
part of the new year by Judge James
w Perkins.

UNIQUE INSURANCE
FOR RANGERS HORSE

Check No. for 500 has been is
sued by the Horse Insurance Associa-
tion of the forest service in payment
of the claim of Ranger J. B. Steph-
enson, stationed on the Cleveland
national forest in southern Califor-
mia. One of Stephenson's horses was
recently injured while working with
a construction crew on the forest,
and had to be shot. Satisfactory
proof of loss was made to association
headquarters at San Francisco and
payment was promptly made.
This insurance association is not
a government institution, but was
recently formed by the forest rang
ers of the California-Nevada district
OF the forest service, for the purpose
of distributing the loss that occurs
when saddle and pack animals owned
by its members are killed or dis
abled. 1t is purely mutual in charac-
ter, funds to pay losses being pro-
vided by means of small quarterly
assessment. The amount of the as
sessments depends upon the losses
incurred during a quarterly period.
At present over 200 horses are in
sured in the California-Nevada dis
trict, and it is expected that this
number will be greatly increased this
summer.
Thus far the California rangers
are the only ones who have formed a
horse insurance association, but the
subject is being agitated in other dis
tricts and it is expected that addi-
tional associations will be formed
this summer.
