COMMISSIONER SANDERS AN
NOUNCES PLAN TO WARRANT
SAVING OF AT LEAST $4,000
PER YEAR.

At meeting of the city commits
sioners, which. was held yesterday
afternoon, the question of disposing
of the question of the election of a
man to hold the position of building
and plumbing inspector, was brought
UP by Commissioner Hinrichs, who
moved that the board go into the
election of officers to hold such
places. The election was not held,
for the motion by Mr.. Hinrichs
brought out an interesting discussion
and the statement from Commission
er Sanders that, while he was per-
sonally favorable to the election Of
the present officers, he wanted to
say that he had prepared plan for
the saving, he said, OF about $4,000
annually. He intimated that all de-
partments would feel the effect of
this retrenchment policy, and sug-
gested that, before action is taken
on the reelection of the officers, the
commissioners get together and go
over his memorandum. Under this
showing, the settlement of questions
as to who will HI the several posi-
! tons was put off for another time.
Commissioner Sanders, in explain
| ing his position, said that he Wished
to state that all personalities were
out of the question. and that the re-
trenchment which he had mapped
out was solely for the purpose of
/ saving money for the city. He said
that, so far as the present building
and plula5ing inspectors were con-
cerned, each of them were perfectly
agreeable to him.
Nothing was done at the meeting
to fill several other Offices but it is
/ expected the registration officer, the
engineer, etc, will be elected within
a few days.

German, Intrigue Comes
to Light In Unnamed City

Washington, July 2-That German
intrigues against property and sta
lions of the United States Navy in
this country must still be carefully
guarded against is shown by case
which is now before the Department
of Justice, says a statement issued
here today at Navy League head
quarters. 50
In southern city with popula-
ton of about 10000 people, says this
statement, there is a colony of Ger
man subjects who recently petitioned
the government, through the Depart
ment of Justice, to waive certain of
the restrictions placed upon them as
to their residence in fixed zones.
These restrictions prevent alien
enemies from living or going within
a certain dis..ss~s of any naval sta
ton or ship. "a

When the course in drying vege-

class than the first was in attendance

completion of the course was shown,
the students returning from other
classes to witness the final steps.
This is the second demonstration by
Miss Landrum to be given in the
school, the third to be given nexk
Monday. The subject for the lecture
IS "Pickling and Ketchup," and in
stead of 1920, will commence at teA
o'clock. This will probably be more

Ordinances Before Cofnm;s-
sioners to Allow Modern
Shops to Be Built
WILL MEAN LARGE
EXPENDITURES
More Than $4,000 to Be
Spent in Changes in Sys-
tenn; More to Come.

Application for permit to close GER
tam streets preparatory to making
extensive improvements in the railS
road was made to the city commits
sloners yesterday afternoon by F. E.
Dewey and Philip Beall, receivers for
the G. F. & A. railroad. 1t is est.
mated that more than $4,000 win be
spent if authority is given to Gloss
the street necessary to erect the
buildings. The application took The
form of five ordinances, which passed
second reading, and in the ordinary
course OF procedure will come up for
final action next Monday.
The improvements contemplated nv
the receivers will consist chiefly in
modern shops to be erected in block
SO, which is bounded by Romano,
Chipley, "A" and "B" streets. The
structure will occupy the entire block,
but does not allow for switching spacs
and connection with the main line. As
the company owns the adjoining block
just across "A" street, ad the change
would affect no other property, it is
planned to close "a" street between
Romano and Chipley.
Much work has already been zone
toward the establishment of the new
shops, modern equipment has been
secured and everything ready toward
actual construction work, which is
pending the passage of the ordi-
nances.
Other recent improvements by the
receivers in the road was the con
struction of a "Y" near the NewDovt
Tar and Turpentine Plant which per-
nlits the turning of cars vgithout so.
ing to Muscogee, as the turntabIo "a
now inadequate for the needs of tn
road.
Another ordinance seeks permis-
sion to straighten the tracks of the
G. F. & A. running along Main street,
to that instead of switching into the
Electric Company's tracks, the rail
road can lay its own track, leading to
the piers and coal chute.
The whole operation is but a small
part of the promised improvements
which are being planned.

MAY Ply TAXES
TO UNCLE SAM
DEPUTY COLLECTOR OF IN
TERNAL REVENUE BE HERE
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF
LOCAL PEOPLE.

United States Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue Paul Long arrived
in the city yesterday morning and
has opened offices in the marshals
office, second floor federal building,
where he will remain tomorrow and
next day, receiving the tax payments
of those who wish to pay now.
The stay here is not imperative,
but is done merely for the convent
ence of the taxpayers, as it saves
notary fees, and stamps, and delay
in making application. All taxes
must be paid by August 1st, under
penalty of so per cent increase. Those
who do not pay while the deputy IS
in the city may do so by mail to
headquarters.

the southern city, .rsntioned above,
was so phrased on its face that it
appeared to~be an entirely harmless
request. Federal officials in the South
were inclined to grant lit. The petit
tion was, however, referred to Wash
ington. An investigation proved that
there was on foot a scheme to place
certain German agents close to the
navy yard where considerable mis-
chief might then be done. 1t has
now been decided that, not only will
the areas from which these Germans
are barred not be limited or reduced,
but that increased surveillance over
every move.sent will be maintained.
The belief is expressed here that
had this request been granted, it was
the intention of alien enemies in
other cities to make a similar re-
quest, and that in the end serious
harm might have resulted.

Within half hour many more than

ANNOUNCEMENT WAS RECEIV-

WORK - VIRGINIA COMPANY
LANDS JOB.

Announcement was received in
Pensacola yesterday morning that the
navy department had awarded con-
tract to the Wise Granite and Con-
struction Company, of Richmond,
Virginia, for the construction of a
mine storage building at the aero
nautic station at cost of $4,000.
Though Pensacola firms were bid
ders the winning company was the
lowest by several hundred dollars.
The announcement is considered of
particular interest, as announcement
was made last December that such
action would probably be taken, in
the development of the yard as a
destroyer base.
