No Provision is Made For
Filling Place of Supt. of
Water Department.
CHARTER BOARD
IS DISSOLVED
Prescribed Duties of Office.
But Failed to Specify Man
ner of Selecting Head.

Superintendent J. L. Sweeney, of
the Pensacola water plant, does not
know whether the man to fill his of
fee will be named by the mayor or
the council, should the charter, to be
voted on October 10, be adopted by
the people. His office is not filed by
appointment from the mayor, nor is it
filed by the council, but there is
provision for the superintendent of
the water works. How he is chosen
remains to be worked out.
The charter as proposed provides
that the mayor shall appoint all Off
GERS, with the exception of the comp
troller, who is named by the council.
! The clerk, tax assessor and collector,
chiefs of police and fire departments,
electrician, building inspector, treas
urer, recorder, etc. are all to be named
by the mayor should the new charter
become effective.
Don't Know Who To Apply To.
Further down in the ordinance there
! is a provision setting forth the duties
of the superintendent of the water
plant, but how that department head
is elected, appointed, chosen, etc, is
not made clear. The mayor does not
appoint, the council does not select,
and applicants for the position are
wondering to lust what source to go
to present their respective claims for
appointment to the office
Students of the charter discovered
this condition while reading the docu-
ment yesterday and wanted inforna-
ton on the question when they visit
ed the city hall.
As the charter board has been dis
solved, it seems that there is no way
to amend the charter adopted by that
body, and which is to be accepted or
rejected by the people Therefore,
there is more or less speculation as to
how this pro- osition will be handled
| if the charter is adopted.

ROBERTS GONZALEZ
FARMERS TO MEET

The regular bi-monthly meeting Of
the Roberts Gonzalez Farmers Asso-
citation will be held at the Roberts
school house tomorrow at o'clock.
This association was organized sew
eral weeks aro for the purpose of
making car lot shipments of fall
crops.
The work Of arranging for the car
lot shipments has progressed finely,
although there are at present only
twelve members, and total acreage
of fifty acres planted.
In the early part Of the season, the
many rains impeded progress, in some
cases delaying the sowing Of ~
seed, yet it is reported that the crops
are now in splendid condition, and the
recent fair and warm weather has
made the conditions ideal.
Much interest is manifested in the
work, and it is considered probable
that the car lot shipment plan viii
be great success. All members are
urged to attend the meeting tonor-
row, as there are many important
matters scheduled for discussion.
Anyone who is not yet member is
urged to attend the meetings.

county, to Cummings Point, in Bald
win county, Alabama, and it is ex-

stressed on account of the intimate
commercial relations which are ex-
pected to result between Escambia
and Baldwin counties, and with the
opening of a market in Pensacola for
produce is expected to develop this
city, and open up the country using
this as an outlet.
