On Palafox street it was about six

1906. When, as / said before, the
people finally woke up, they voted
bonds for $750,000 and began the
work of changing town into a city.
The results are too self evident to
dwell upon here but it will not be
out of place to enumerate some of tho
improvements made by this and sew

brought the total 60 more than q

Since that time the city has bought
the waterworks system, greatly ex-

and beautiful city hall.
The volunteer fire department has
been replaced by an enlarged paid
fire department, housed in city
owned truck houses of modern con-
struction and is rapidly being motor
lied. However, let me say right
here, that this change was not made
on account of any inefficiency on the
part of the volunteer firemen, but
rather to keep up with the march of
progress and to promptly provide
necessary additions of apparatus as
needed, for there never was more
public spirited body of men than
these old fire fighters. They were
always ready, willing and able to do
their part in their self imposed task

Drainage and Paving R' p Fss.sss1s
BY EARLE THORNTON, city Engineer.

A little more than zen years ago
the people of Pensacola suddenly
seemed to realize that if this was
ever to be more than small town
it would be necessary for them to
wake up and make a start to build
city. They seemed to realize for
theh first time the truth of the
saying, "Cities don't grow; they
have to be built"
Nature, by providing beautiful
landlocked harbor with plenty of
deep anchorage, high, well drained
land for the town site, excellent
water, a balmy climate had done a
great deal toward making this the
possible site of large and prosper
GUS city. The people themselves had
done very little for up to that time
(1906) Pensacola had been content
with three blocks of paved streets,
about mile (adding up the lengths
of all the walks in town. of side
walks of brick or concrete, about two
miles of sanitary sewers and no mod
ern storm. drains. The major portion
of town had the old plank walks, built
of 1 by 8 boards on 2 by a stringers,
which were not only unpleasant to
walk on but often in dangerous
condition.
The surface drainage system" as
near as ! can recollect, consisted OF
one fifteen inch pipe from the va
cant lot on the east SIDE of Palafox
street opposite the present site OF
the Brent building and "the big
