Four Fires on Saturday.

Business was good with the fire de-
paltment on Saturday, for the alarm
was sounded on four different occa-
sions that day. The first was about
, o'clock when a building on Carr
street owned by Mr.. Windisch was
burning. The fire company was
promptly on the ground and little
damage resulted.
Within a half hour another alarm
was sounded from north Seventh
street; a house occupied by colored
people caught fire. This was put out
with slight damage. At little after
/ o'clock and when the boys had just
returned from the second fire, the
third alarm was sounded, this COM
ing from Selden's factory, where the
main drive belt was found on fire.
The fire was put out, but the belt
which is an expensive thing was Sc
verely damaged, possible rendered
useless. Such belt costs in the
reighborhood of $500. The fourth
alarm sounded a little before mid
night and came from Lemon and
Eleventh streets. The house on that
corner was occupied by negroes and
rs the alarm was not sent in until
the blaze had a good start, the loss
was great. The building was ruin
ed. On Sunday evening about 5
o'clock there was another alarm
from upper Lemon street, but this
house was saved. The fire boys were
prompt as usual in responding to all
calls and are to be commended for
their brilliant work.

WILL SELL RAILROAD
TO JUNK DEALERS.
Ocklawaha Valley Railway
Co. Serves Notice of
DiScOntinuance.

The Ocklawaha Valley Railway
Company running between this city
and Ocala, via Rodman and Orange
Springs, has posted notices at all sta
tons along the line that the service
VIII be discontinued on November
Goth.
Perhaps a way will be found to pre-
vent the carrying out of this scheme
Of abandonment.
The Ocklawaha Valley Railway is
owned, or at least controlled, by the
Assets Realization Company of New
York The road is not bloomin'
success as a money getter, but it pen
etrates a section that depends much
upon the service the road has been
giving. Many people have bought
lands along the line who would not
have bought were it not for the rail-
way.
The Assets Realization Company
can sell the line for junk-scrap it
and realize six times as much as the
property cost them.
Will they be allowed to do it?
Not without a protest.
The State of Florida may have
something to say concerning the mat
ter.
Protests have already began to cir
culate at stations along the line. The
matter will be carried before the
State Railroad Commission.
Asked concerning the company's
right to scrap the road at its pleas
ure, Col. S. J. Hilburn was emphatic
in his answer, "NO," The News
didn't wait to hear more; Col. Hilburn
was busy and so was the interviewer.
But this eminent lawyer knew what
he was talking about
The News doesn't know whether
there is any organized protest or le-
p2l measures being taken to prevent
the abandonment of this road. But
il not somebody who has interests in
the matter should get busy. New
York capitalists and financial tail
twisters ought not to be allowed to
pxnloit this section and make monkeys
Of rs at pleasure.
The News believes the business men
Of Palatko should rise up on their
hind legs and send forth shrieking
nectest against the "scrapping" of
his railroad. It has come to pret-
tv pass if railway companies, or the
New York capitalists controlling them,
can build and operate through sec
ti0n of country, inducing emmigra-
ton and securing farmers for settle
ment and then without more than 80

of Importance to the club, which must

thoHght best to postpone the public

will He the regular meeting of the

o'clock and the officers are hoping for

postponment and on whose pleasure
the club will now wait. Mrs. Jen-

ORANGE SPRINGS FAIR
HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Until February Because of
Failure to Complete Pa
latka Road.

At a meeting of the Colonists Fair
Association at Orange Springs on
Monday it was decided to postpone
the fair until the Palatka- Orange
Springs good road is completed which
will probably be in February. Work
on the road has been going forward
very rapidly for the last two weeks
especially. Several miles have been
laid with Interlachen gravel and the
asphalt top dressing is being receiv-
ed
If the present rate of progress is
maintained it is very probable that
the road from Peniel to a point some
distance beyond Rodman will be open
ed to traffic before the first of Janu-
ary. 1t is very likely that it will be
completed almost if not up to the viii
lage of Kenwood.
Kenwood is making strong bid
for the fair on the ground that the
road will be completed to that village
any way by February and a definite
date should be set as early as posi-
BILE for the fair. The people all
along the line of the Ocklawaha Val
ley railroad are preparing to file 4
strong protest against the discontin-
uance of the operation of that line,
notice of which has been posted at all
the stations, effective November 30.
In any event this will not effect the
determination of the colonists to hold
their fair as they feel confident of win
ming their fight and the good road is
such big factor in stimulating the
development of their territory and
putting it on the shortest highway be-
tween Jacksonville and Tampa that
their progress cannot be retarded.

lOta % mills


In order to make this millage cover
the expenses Of the city for the COM
ing year the council did some cut
ting Of expenses.
The assessors office was cut out
and the work turned over to the city
clerk. The assessors job has been a
graft that paid $500 a year for copy
ing the former years assessment
roll. Then the band was cut to $50
a month. Not enough for a good
band, but it is a luxury and the coun-
ell thought luXuries could be dis
pensed with or economized in rather
than to 90 without necessities. A
special police officer was dispensed
with and the gardener at the city hall
was cut.
Alderman McNally said that the
council had cut out about 81 400 or
81 500 Of expense and would proba-
bly, find a way to make a still furth-
er cut. Ii was the motion of this al
derman that brought about the elimi-
nation Of the assessorShip. The fol-
lowing is the budget as finally APP
proved subject to a still further cut:
