SILVER SPRINGS STREET
Council Determined BY Some Means to
Have It Put IN Better
Condition

Council is determined that sonie-
thing must, if possible. be done to re-
pair the Silver Springs road, and the
streets of the city. About $4,000 in
road taxes are due the city By the
county, and with this paid over the
city will have that much available.
Frederick Hooker, city attorney,
last night advised council to accept
the offer of H. NJ. Hampton to bring
mandamus proceedings with . view to
compelling the county to put the Sill
yer Springs road in good condition.
Mr.. Hampton, according to the city
attorney, has agreed to handle the
case against the county II the city pay
the court costs, and Mr.. Hooker takes
the position that the city would have
all to gain and nothing to lose except
the small cost Of going into the courts.
There appears to be precedent, Ar.
Hooker said, for compelling county
to keep up main road through an an
nexed section Of a city. This would
not, it was said, mean the return Of
the Silver Springs strip to The county.
Council took no action with refer
ence to Mr.. Hampton's propositioa
last night.

SAVED MONEY TO THE CITY

Objections having been made by Il.
w Tucker, council, with the consent
of Robert Elmer, to whom the contract
was let two weeks ago without bids,
last night received bids for laying the
water mains to the two septic tanks
of the sewerage system It was ex-
planned that the contract had been
given to Mr.. Elmer two weeks ago, be-
cause at the time it was thought that
the city had the necessary pipe on
hand and the Importance of having
the necessary work done Immediately
was stressed. Later the city found
that It did not have the necessary pipe,
and the decision to call for bids was
made. Mr.. Elmer, having the lowest
bid, was again awarded the contract.
Mr.. Tucker was the lowest bidder on
one item. He called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Ebner,s new bid was
much below his bid of two weeks ago.
and contended that the city had been
saved about $3.50 in the matter. With
this in view, Mr.. Tucker asked that
council consider his bid. Council.
however, thought that the work should
all go to one man.

A CITIZEN OF OcALA
Charles Cullen Has Incurred an In
ternational Reputation that He
Does Not Appreciate
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, July 19.-Charles Cullen of
Ocala, Fla, is included in the list of
Americans blackIisted under the trad
ing with the enemy act.
**s
Mr.. Cullen was interviewed by the
Star regarding this international
honor thrust upon him Immediately
after the above dispatch came in. Mr..
Cullen says that he has been for
years and is yet the Ocala represen-
tative of large phosphate dealing
firm in Germany. He has never had
and business relations with England,
and should therefore not be affected.
Mr.. Cullen is an Englishman, and
came here about twenty years ago. He
has however been citizen of the
United States for several years. The
Star has been in communication with
him almost every day since the war
began, and has noticed that while he
did not show any bitterness toward
Germany that his sympathy with his
native country was too marked to be
doubted
All the firms put by the British
government on the black list are
American firms and have perfect
legal and moral right to trade with
Germany or any other country.
At $3.50 the Star received request
from the New York World for two
hundred word story regarding Mr..
Cullen.

BADLY BURNED
Two Firemen and q Member of Com
pany A Suffered from an Ac-
cident this Morning

Louis Keefe, captain of the fire de-
partment, was seriously and painful
~ burned about his body and on his
army and legs, and Guy Driggers, an
other fireman, had his hands and arms
burned, when the bottom of a gaso-
line blow torch blew out in the work
shop of the fire station this morning
about 10 o'clock. George Williams, of
Company A, Second Regiment, N. G.
f., on fur1ough Of several days, had
the fingers of both hands burned in
assisting with pulling the flaming
clothing off of Captain Keefe.
Captain Keefe and Driggers were
soldering part Of one motor fire
fighting machines. The two men were
doing the soldering on a work bench
and were leaning against the bench
when the blow torch burst, Captain
Keefe receiving the brunt of the fam
ing gas against his abdomen, Orig
gers getting the flames on his hands.
and arms.
Immediately the explosion had oc-
CURED, Captain Keefe rushed out of
the work shop to the porch In the rear
Of the fire station, leaped off the
porch into the yard and ran into the
flower garden. Driggers rushed to
Captain Keefe's assistance, but his,
burned hands made him helpless. BY
this time, George London, negro,
appeared at the rear of the pressing
club next to the fire station. London
came up as Captain Keefe got caught
on the garden fence. The negro jerk
led Captain Keefe's blazing shirt of, ,
and picked the fireman up and threw
him over the fence into the grass.
Men.had hurried from the fire sta
|tion, City Clerk Sistrunk from the
city hall, and others from the Star Of
fee and Temple theater, to the assist
ance of Keefe. They pulled off his
clothes as quickly as possible, and put
out the fire. Keefe was all this time
suffering intensely. George Williams
burned his hands, and Fl. r. Clayton
was slightly burned in pulling off the
burning clothes.
Soda was applied to the burns Of
Captain Keefe, and seemd to increase
the intensity Of the pain. He was
taken into the fire station and ply
sicians called. Keefe and Driggers
were then placed in automobiles and
hurried TO the hospital
Driggers' wounds were dressed and
be returned to the. fire station dormi-
tory. The wounds Of George Will
| Jams were dressed at Gerig's drug
| store.
| Chief Chambers of the fire depart
ment had his right hand burned, and
City Clerk Sistrunk had his arm sing
led in assisting Keefe.
Driggers left this afternon for
Oklawaha, to be with his mother for
several days.
At 3:15 o'clock this afternoon Cap
tain Keefe was resting easily. The
burns were said to be very serious
just how serious could not be deter

ORDINANCE HELD
IN ABEYANCE
Considerable Dispute About Plumbing
at Last Nights Meeting of
the Council

The new plumbing ordinance, pass
ed by council at its meeting two weeks
ago, has been returned unsigned by
the mayor, and opposition to certain
provisions of the measure has de-
veloped. For this reason council will
hold the ordinance in allegiance until
its next regular session, and in the
meantime it has been referred back to
the judiciary committee, which COM
mittee will have special meeting to
hear any and all objections. Council
is not disposed to make the ordinance
work hardship on any one.
Col. R. F. Rogers, L. n. Green and
r. c. Loveridge appeared before coun-
Gil last night and protested very vig-
orously against provisions of the
measure. These men did not apepar
jointly, but as individuals, each with a
complaint. Col. Rogers contended that
it would be unreasonable and prac-
tlcal impossibility to have negro tene-
ment houses provided with sanitary
IdCl1ibicS SiiitildIs W tliS 4dSihtISS pIo-
vided for the better class of houses in
the city. He said he owned large
number of negro houses, which he
would have to abandon unless an ex-
ception be made in the case. Col.
Rogers also thought the plumbing in
spection fees high, and thought the
ordinance should be made clearer in
some of its sections. He suggested
that the regulations be made accord
ing to districts or blocks. Mr.. Green,
also an owner of numerous negro
houses, contended that it would be i'm
possible to comply with the provisions
Of the ordinance so far as negro
houses were concerned. He thought
there was no need for connecting ne
gro houses with the sewerage system,
taking the position that properly car
ed for cesspools could do. Mr.. Love-
ridge said that the demands of the or
dinance would work a hardship on
people of small means.
Mr.. Green, Col. Rogers and Council
man McIver thought that the costs of
plumbing inspection should be covered
by taxes. Councilman Gerig stoutly
maintained that the costs of the
plumbing inspection should fall on all
alike, proportioned according to the
nature of the inspection.
Councilman Gerig protested in the
name of the Judiciary committee that
there was no intention of working a
hardship on any one. He said that
the committee had examined numer-
Gus plumbing measures, obtained from
other cities. Mr. Gerig said that the
fees provided for Ocala, for example,
were lighter than in any of the ordi-
nances considered. At his instance
council decided to hold the measure in
allegiance and give citizens further op-
portunity to make objections.
Those who have objections are ask
ed to draft amendments and submit
them for consideration.

CITY HAS ALREADY LOST
A CONSIDERABLE sum
SAY THE ENGINEERS, ON ACCOUNT OF DELAY IN
BUILDING THE LIGHT AND WATER PLANT

That the city has already lost at
least $4,000 because of the blocking
of the construction of the new light
and water plant, is the advice given by
the engineers, according to the ans
wer of the city to the bill of complaint
just filed by those who would cause
further delay.
The council adjourned at a late
hours last night to meet again this
afternoon at o'clock for the pur-
pose of considering the city's answer
to the bill of complaint filed by the
applicants for the injunction to re-
strain the city from making any pay
ment to the contractor for the light
and water plant. Immediately follow
ing the notice given on Saturday of
the intention to ask for an injunc-
ton, Frederick Hooker, city attorney,
went to work on the answer. He die
tated it yesterday afternoon, and last
night asked that the council meet
this afternoon to hear the answer
read, in order that every member of
the body mighty swear to and sign
the same.
The answer dictated by the city at
torney is voluminous, as is the bill of
complaint. That the city council is
acting without its rights in the con-
struction of combined light and wa
ter plant is denied. It is pointed out
that the 1911 ordinance gives the city
the option of either purchasing and
equipping water works already in
operation, or of constructing and
equipping new water works. A COM
bined water and light plant was rec
commended by the engineers, who urg-
ed it because of economy. In build
ing the combined plant all water works
items and all electric light items are
kept separate, the answer of the city
sets forth, and there is no indiscrimi-
nate commingling or mixing of
charges" 1t is pointed out that the
cost of the water works portion of the
combined plant viii not exceed the
funds available for water works pur-
poses, and that the cost of the cleo
trio light portion will not exceed the
funds for electric light purposes.
The electric light bond ordinance
specifically states that the funds are
to be used for a paint in connection
with the water works.
The answer states that the city has
been advised by its engineers that the
plant now under construction will cost
at least $4,000 more than it would
have cost had the city been allowed
to construct the plant at the time first
intended. Further delay will cost the
city more money.
Tomorrow at o'clock is the time
set by the complaintants for making
application to Judge Bullock for the
injunction.
