MACCIBBON ANSWERS
MANDAMUS TODAY

An answer to the petition for a
writ of mandamus against James
Macgibbon, clerk of the Circuit court,
filed by the Gulf Beach Highway
committee, as Ben s. Hancock, ct. al,
was filed with the court yesterday
morning by Robert H. Anderson, at
torney for the RESPONDENT, and viii be
heard this morning at $3.50. The case
was postponed from yesterday after
noon because of the crowded docket.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton, not only beause Of the import
ance in its local application, but be-
cause it is felt that a ruling on the
new law which went into effect on
January l, will assist materially in
governing future action of county of
ficials under the enactment.
With the abolishment of the office
of county treasurer, and the division
of county funds in certain designated
repositories, together with the install
lation of other rules and regulations,
the law has had no legal definition,
and it is expected that this case will
determine the limits and powers of
the county clerk operating under the
new law.

turned its attention to the interna

the administration bill TO curtail ar

many references to the situation with
Germany and drawing from Chairman

lnittee, a bitter denunciation of the
newspapers which circulate false
statements in order to create SEN

SPANISH TRAIL. TAKES
UP ROAD QUESTIONABLE
MEETING FEB. %

The following call has been issued
by the committee:
"The directors of the Spanish Trail
Association are obliged to officially
designate only those pieces of road
as Portions of the trail which have
been built or arranged to be built
for satisfactory auto and tourist
travel.
Neither Pensacola nor the south
ern, portion Of Escambia county,
Florida, have made any arrangements
to build or provide satisfactory road
accommodations across the county to
include Pensacola or to bridge the
Perdido or the Escambia rivers, which
omission, if not corrected, will result
in Pensacola and Southern Escambia
being left off the highway map of
the country.
'The designation of a northern
route would not affect Pensacola in
the least, ia satisfactory road is
built in the southern portion of the
county, because Pensacola's natural
attractions will pull the tourist here,
but unless the road is built, the at
fractions will not overcome the diff
ficulty of travel.
"a meeting is hereby called Friday,
February 29rd, at 7:30 p. m, of the
citizens of Pensacola for the purpose
of discussing. ways and means Of
overcoming the handicap which now
exists and keeps Pensacola off the

tended by a number of enthusiastic
and interested PensacoEans.
1t was shown that since the call of

did automobile trails in the country
and though II showed Mobile and
Montgomery, the space between Mo
bile and Escambia county in West
Florida was absolutely blank.
