present charter and the Jones char
ter.
Mr. Merritt discussed the various
clauses in detail, and was given close
attention.
VIM. Fisher Talks.
VIM. Fisher was called upon to ex-
plain certain features of the charter,
which he did. Mr.. Fisher began by
saying that he wished to refute the
report that had gained circulation to
the effect that he and the charter
board had framed up to adopt sys-
tenn whereby he (Fisher) could be
elected mayor. He said he had no
ambition to be mayor of Pensacola,
and would not dignity the charge by
refuting it except that it had gained
SO wide a circulation that he feared
it might work against the adoption
of the charter.
Mr.. Fisher discussed nearly every
section of the proposed charter, and
answered a number of questions
which were asked him in regard to
it.
Robert II. Anderson Favors It.
Robert H Anderson, after compli-
menting the board highly, entered
upon a discussion of the charter, de-
claring himself heartily in favor OF
its adoption. He took up the various
arguments which he said he had
heard against it, and replied to them
He urged the Importance of organi.
cation, and said the city commission
ers would probably organize to fight
the charter.
Others who addressed the meeting
and expressed themselves as favor,
ing the adoption of the proposed
charter were: R. w. Goodhart, E

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
MAY BE COMING
INTO PENSACOLA

Although definite information is
not obtainable, the filing for record in
the Office of the clerk of the circuit
court yesterday of a deed has given
rise to the belief that the Illinois
Central Railroad, or the Central of
Georgia Railway, may be contemplate
ing entering Pensacola in the near fu-
ture.
The deed is to small tract of land
and gives within fifty feet of the
new survey of the Pensacola & Anda-
lusia Railroad" as one of the boundar-
les. The fact that this survey had
been made is news in Pensacola. Sig
nificance has been attached to the fact
that the survey referred to would be
within two and a half miles of the
Memphis & Pensacola survey. This
taken together with the fact that the
Bagdad Land & Lumber Company's
road, Is now in twenty-five miles of
Andalusia, and the fact that W. w.
Hayden, chief engineer of the Mem
phis & Pensacola, was formerly. en-
ployed by the I. c., the easy access
to Pensacola's waterfront through
that survey and other facts, said to
be significant, lead those who are
posted on such matters to believe that
the l. c. is figuring on coming here.
