GADsDEN COUNTY
REJECTS BRIDGE
BOND OFFERS

Tallahassee, Aug. 22.-(Special.)-
Governor Sidney j. Cats attended the
opening OF bids on tho bridge bonds
OF Gadsden county at Quincy, going
over with Commissioner w. F. Cooke
of the state highway department, by
automobile.
The board of county commissioners of
Gadsden county received three bids,
but only one of them-that of A. c.
Drummon, of Bombay, Fla, was le-
gal bid; all of them were below par
and none fully complied with the re-
quirement that the interest on said
bonds be payable at Quincy.
Commissioner Cooke stated that ar
rangements have been made whereby
the war department Wit issue priority
orders for materials entering into the
construction of this important bridge,
and now only the sale of tho Gadsden
county bonds stands as a barrier TO
advertising the contract Mr.. Cooke
said if the county commissioners de-
cided to recess for forty-eight hours.
to give him time to take the matter
up with the members of the state road
department, he was sure that the high
way officials consent 20 provide any
necessary additional sum to make up
the amount for Gadsden county, which
ting par for the bonds. After some
discussion, Commissioner Sylvester
moved that all bids be rejected and the
bonds readvertiSed. The motion was
carried. No bids were received from
any of the Quincy banks.
Governor Cats spoke briefly, calling
the boards attention to the fact that
the State Council of Defense, of which
he is chairman, adopted a resolution,
only last week, asking the United
states government to provide, as a
war measure, the necessary steel AMI
concrete to construct the bridge over
the ,Apalachicola river on the Old
Spanish Trail. as this bridge is mulch
needed in the program for coast de-
Tense. The governor said this matter
will be carried to Washington by him,
personally, if necessary, and he offered
the board any assistance in his power
to speed the building of tse bridge.
Mrs. F. r. S. Phillips, assistant sec
rotary of the Old Spa14ssh Trail asso-
citation for the east, and secretary of
the Tallahassee Boosters club and the
North Florida Chamber of Commerce
presented number of letters, received
in reply TO letters sent by Governor
Cats to all OF the governors of the
states through which the ocean-to-
ocean highway passes, urging the com
pletion of this border highway ana
promising cordial assistance. These
letters were read by County Clerk
Morgan at the request of the chair
man of the board, S. V. Hough
The bonds will be readvertised at
once, and it is believed the local banks
will make bids.

NATIONAL wHEEzE BOARD

The government of the United States is taking
charge of so many functions and public utilities
that it will, perhaps, occasion no surprise that
1t is to venture upon the supervision of humor.
This according to government bulletin, is
to be accomplished with ruthless and heavy
hand, but only incidentally, as an accessory of
the soldiers pleasure in foreign fields
The government is calling for jokes, wheezes,
funny stories, and any well-planned literary
fights that may induce Taught, to be used by
the war departments commission training
camp activities, with the general purpose of
keeping the boys in good humor.
Seven citizens who are supposed to know
joke when they see it are to form joke COM
mission, and accept or reject the offerings.
The wheezes that pass the board will be sent
to France, to Italy, and to the men of the army
and navy wherever they may be. 1t should
not be difficult task humor it the natural at
mosphere of America.
We are close enought to things as they are to
look through superfcialities, and most Ameri-
they may be.
But there is no hard and fast rule for the
construction of wheeze.
The commission must just put them through
the mill, and get the local effect
Some people make fun of the wheeze board
which is not as it should be. It's mission is to
make fun for the fighting soldiers and sailors
across the seas and in camps, waiting to go
across-a difficult and more vitality i'm
portant job than most people realize.

.LIGHTLEss NIGHTS. COAL SAVING

Records kept by representatives of the United
States Administration show saving of more
than 10000 kowatt-hours, which is equal to
about 100 tons of coal, for the first night of the
lightless nights in the Borough of Manhattan,
New York City. A much larger saving will be
made during the winter when the daylight saw
ing hour is restored and darkness begins earlier.
From the data now on hand the Fuel Admin
istration Bureau of Conservation estimates a
national saving through the operation of the
'lightless-night' order of more than 100000
tons of coal a year.

NO LIMITATION ON SALE OF OIL AND
GASOLINE

To correct an erroneous impression that has
been given circulation, the war industries board
and the United States fuel administration join
in the announcement that no regulations have
been issued with respect to the sale of oil and
gasoline. The fuel administration has urged that
wasteful practices in the of oil and gasoline
be stopped and all reasonable and proper meas
ures of conservation be observed. No limitation
however, has thus far been placed on the sale
of these products.

DISTRIBUTION OF DOMESTIC COKE

1t has become necessary for the United States
fuel administration to control the distribution
of domestic coke in harmony with other fuels
for household uuse
Accordingly system of weekly reports is
now required from all jobbers of coke in carload
lots for household use for general distribution
by retail dealers. Since coke has taken the
place of anthracite coal in some sections it has
become necessary to keep closer record of its
distribution. Hereafter coke for domestic uses
will be supplied through the local coal dealers
thus giving the fuel administration the advan-
tage of close observation over distribution.
