NO MORE JEWELS TO BE
1sxPoKTED IsisT5M ITHnx

Rome, June 10. The expectation Of
diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls,
end other precious stones has been
prohibited. The reason for this action
is that the deprecated value Of Italian
money has made it possible for deal-
ers in Switzerland, France, or Spain
10 buy these stones in Italy at the
market price in lire and yet get a
handsome bargain, really paying for
set of diamonds worth 100000 lire
not more than $4,000 or 10000 lire. AS
there has been accumulated in Italy
for many centuries past large quanti-
ties Of valuable stones, many of which
since The war have been put on the
market by needy owners, the fear has
been expressed that Italy has been
/, ...01n of this form of her ma
tional wealth, through expectations.

when we refer to the council we refer
to Messrs. West and Durrance, as
they have controlled the council from

Since Messrs. West and Durrance
took charge of the city three mem
bers Of the council have resigned, and
three times have they been successful
in securing the appointment of new
members who would fall in line with
their plans for running the city.
At present they are paying their
Tampa attorneys rs cents on the dol

a preposterous rate to pay for this

Tarpon Springs is fortunate in hav-

been for Mr.. Albaugh's positively re-
fusing to falsify the records the min

would not be correctly recorded but
something entirely different would be

(Durrance) was continually trying to
have the records changed and that he
(Albaugh) would not change them

rect form and Mr.. Albaugh refused to
falsify them, so they were not zap
