destiny of the yellow peril The case
was settled. but friends of the losing
party are still warm under the collar.

in the city this week to interview the
county commissioners. He also Wis

spoke of. the thrifty appearance of
the city. He said also that the con-
struction of a concrete bridge across
the st. Johns river would give Pa
latka the distinction of having the
longest bridge of that material in
the United States, if not in the world.
He said the difference in cost be-
tween a plain bridge and an attract
i've one is small when the educational
benefit of a thing of beauty is con-
coded.
