FINE QUESTION IS
RAISED BEFORE THE
CITY Commission

A fine question has been raised
before the city officials by an appli-
cation from the Pensacola Electric
Company to construct a spur track
about $50 IN length, on West Main
street. The company claims that, un-
der its franchise, it has the authority
to build the spur without further re-
course, while the city attorney holds
that said spur track must be built un-
der special franchise application, and
for that reason the company's appli-
cation has been temporarily held up.
In fact the application has been be-
fore the city commissioners for some
time, and under date of August 10 It
came up anew, when the company's
counsel wrote the commissioners that
they were shortly enclosing a plat
which would be filed as part of their
application for permission to put IN
the desired spur.
The Pensacola Electric company Is
handling an enormous lot of material
to the Pensacola navy yard and the
Barrancas post within the past few
weeks, and tfrfs traffic gives promise
to keep up for some time. In fact
there is a promise that such will
show an increase rather than a de-
crease, in the very near future, for
considerable work is being PINNED at
various points and of various kinds.

SPLIT LOG DRAG
QUESTION BEFORE
co. BOARD TODAY

This morning at nine o'clock the
board of county commissioners will
hold their second regular meeting for
August. The only matter of i'm
portance to come before the board
is the plan to use a split log drag on
the bayshore road between the Little
and Big Bayous.
The movement has received tre-
mendous support among many prom
inent Pensacolians, and a petition
which was circulated last week by F.
c. Brent, carries on it some of the
most influential men in the county.
A demonstration was held Friday,
in the presence of Chairman J. George
White, and commissioners Hardy and
Candy, and all of the officials eN-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the results. With the support
of the plan, presented by the petition
to the board, and the results OBJ
tanned at the trial, it is expected that
favorable action will result.
The movement is not intended ia
conflict in any way with the plan to
make permanent improvements on the
roadway.
