They had to call upon men returned from Russia to rest, to fill the gaps in the western army.

BOX SEAT SALE IS

The box seat sale for the 1915 Ari- zona state fair is exceeding all past records. and, taken with the increased demand for exhibition space both in the agricultural building and the fcod products show. is conclusive evidence that this years fair is going to he the best ever held.

 Fay told me of his secret to make mines We made tests with explo- sives and experiments with exploding devices. I never attached a loaded mine to any ship. l did attach an empty mine to an English vessel that was loading in this port. It took ten minutes to do it.

 Entries in two memorandum books found in a room occupied by Fay and SchoIz at Weehawllen referred to the German steamship Madseburg and were regarded by the police as significant.

LOCAL LEGISLATION
go4EAj s. 80
AND BUSY SESSION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL TUES
DAY EVENING

The city council met last night in
regular session with the following
members 5pfesent: President Pro Tenn
G. "A. Nash, Councilmen Knight,
Tompkins, Roess, Moore, Smith and
Fausett, Messrs. Meffert and Gerig
being absent.
Roll call and reading of minutes
of the last regular and two special
sessions. Minutes were approved as
read
Mr.. H. w. Tucker asked to ad
dress the council and was given per-
mission. Mr. Tucker asked the men,
bers if they had read carefully the
bid and the contract of Messrs. Bry-
an & Co. with the city. He told them
there was a wide field for differences
in the bid made by him and that of
Bryan 81 Co.; that he had bid on tax
ing up the brick paving all around
the square and figured what that
work was worth, expecting to have to
dc it. That Bryan & Co. had a very
low figure on this work and he had
since learned that they did not now
intend to take up any of this brick,
or at least very little of it, but would
lay the sewers in alleys and rear of
blocks and connect with them in that
way, ETC., all of which would be much
better and would probably be decided
on by the city, the contractors and
the engineers, and if this had been
plainly stated in the proposals, his
bid would have been right down to
that of Bryan & Company's. Mr..
Tucker stated that Bryan & Co. were
going to give the city service to the
amount of their bid and no more, and
il would be well for the city to de-
eide at once about the sewers around
the square and the connections there
to. for If the sewers were laid in the
brick paving, all around the square,
the connections to private property
there alone would cost the property
owners more than $1,000, whereas
they could be laid on the rear of the
blocks and in alleys and connect from
the rear and save a great part of this,
as well as the heavy expense to the
city. The court house connections
could all be run through one pipe,
under the street, to the main sewer
Mr.. fuckers talk evidently made an
impression on the members of the
council and set them to thinking

ter 0f the contract it was discussed

with a years interest, the Florida
Metal Products Co., for $3.50, the Sui
livan Machine Co. of Chicago for
$2O44.99 for pumps, etc. The clerk
was instructed to inform the people
that their bills would be taken care of
as early as possible.
City Attorney Frederick Hooker
prepared and presented a resolution,
which was adopted, to proceed with
the suit against Mr.. r. L. Anderson
on certain paving certificates under
the special act of the last Legislature,
giving the city power to re-assess the
property, the original certificates be-
ing faulty. Mr.. Hooker was authoriz-
ed to incur the necessary expense to
take the suits to the supreme court.
An ordinance was read for the first
time and referred to the judiciary
committee, disseminating the alley be-
tween lots l, 2, 3, A and 5 on the
north and lots 6, z, 8, 9 and 10 on the
south in Hodges addition to Ocala, in
lieu of the right and privilege to cross
certain lands adjacent to the property
owned by Mrs. George Bitch.
The city officers made their re-
ports and were excused.
The matter of the mayors COM
munication was discussed and, as the
objections had or would be overcome,
the clerk was asked to so notify him
and ask him to sign the contract with
the Bryan Co.
The report of the finance committee
was read and adopted.
