BOARD VISITS
LAGOON ROAD
New County Commissioners
Inspect Gulf Beach High
way With Committee.

Returning yesterday afternoon aft
ef an all day visit to the Gulf Beach
Highway the Board of County Com
missioners expressed great pleasure
with the work that has been done IN
building the magnificent boulevard
and praised highly the road itself as
model of construction.
The visit was made at the request
of the Gulf Beach Highway commit
tee so that the members of the new
board could acquaint themselves with
the work and to Judge its value in
disbursing the appropriation of $4,000
made by the old board
The party left the city by motor
cars shortly after the special meeting
called at nine o'clock and besides the
Board of County Commissioners was
County Superintendent Macarthur,
Engineer ]. B. CASTOR in charge of
the work on the road, County Attor-
ney R. Pope Reese, Ben. S. Hancock,
Ben. E. Clutter, Harry R. Cook, C. E.
Dobson and Howard Mayes.
Reaching the point where construc-
ton work is now underway, the MEM
bers of the party walked around the
end of the lagoon, over the right of :
way, which has been stalzed, to the
terminus of the road on the outer
beach where the Mexican gulf pounds
ceaselessly, affording the finest surf
bathing of any resort in the south.
1t is this spot, the terminus of the
road, that is so rich in possibilities
of development, which has inspired
those behind the project to carry it
to the present point of success. 1t
is truly called the beauty spot of
West Florida, and offers almost un-
limited possibilities as a resort.
Connected directly with Pensacola
! by the modern thoroughfare, it al
once brings water sports within easy
reach and overcomes the necessity OF
going by water The inclosed lagoon
offers all facilities for Water sports
as light racing events, and the coun.
try around presents an excellent site
for golfng.
/ The party went completely into tn,
detail of the work and returned t.
Gaston's camp by water. Members o.
the board expressed themselves as de
lighted with the road and ire posi-
bilities of development of one of Pen
sacola's and West Florida's creates

eide to Place 30-Day
Prisoners to Work.

All prisoners in the county jail
serving terms of thirty days will be
placed at work on the county roads
Immediately, under the provisions of
a resolution passed at the special

pointed out for the county to receive
some benefit from these short term
prisoners.

bids for two weeks and it is expected
that it will be three weeks before

cided that two rooms in the county
jail be equipped as hospital wards

LARGE SCHOONER
LATE in ARRIVING

Late last night the arrival was re-
ported of the four-masted American
schooner Woodward Abrahams, which
will load here for the west coast of
Italy. This vessel was sighted off the
bar early in the afternoon, but it was
at first thought, as she ''stood away
to sea-" as one man reported, that
she was bound to another port, and
had sailed up to Pensacola bar
through mistake.
Later in the afternoon, however
the schooner came on up to the bar
and was brought inside the bay when
a tug was available. The schooner is
from Turks Island, and will probably
be this morning ordered to quarantine
station for fumigation.
