Final preparations for an extensive

passed, on the last reading, the ordi-
nance authorizing the bond issue of
S2f0,0OO, with which the cost of the
enterprise is to be betrayed.
The passage OF the ordinance also
carried with it an order for the imme-
diate engraving of the issue
The action of the commissioners
came simultaneously with the instruc-
tion from Washington directing that
several cities, owing to their lack OF
housing facilities, have their indus
ing facilities. have their industrial
war orders cut down hard. Pensacola
is included in the order, but 1t is
thought that the projected improve
ment, which means a provision of
dwellings on a large scale, may pos
sibly result in Pensacola being ex-
cluded from the list affected by the
drastic order.
1t is the intention Of the Gommis-
sioners to speed up the project at
once, and coincident with the erection
of the dwellings, water, sewerage. and
other public services mains Will De ex-
tended to the property.
Preparatory to taking this step. the
commissioners had a conference with
City Engineer Frank Gearrette. with
reference to what progress could be
made in carrying all city oonveniences
to the subdivision. After the confer
ence he was duly chosen to take the
work in charge, for
which he is to have fee OF $50 4
month.
The commissioners also voted the
purchase for 81, 400 of a t-ton truck
for use in the sewer department.
Work or Fight Ordinance.
The proposed work or fight ordinance
also was taken up by the commission
ers and discussed at length. After
it from every angle. they
decided to refer it back to Its author,
City Attorney Jones, who drew it at
the instigation of the Escambia County
Loyalty League,
with the request that he examine a
of proposed amendments to
determine their legality.
The proposed ordinance probably
will be considered at the next meet
ng of the commissioners.
