| AUTHORIZE NEW. BUILDINGS

To provide quarters for their en-
ployes, the Pensacola Shipbuilding
Company is planning to take over all
unoccupied houses in the city.
The Company has Tor the past SIX
months been in constant touch with
the United States Shipping Board,
Emergency Fleet Corporation, Housing
Division. The government has had a
number Of representatives investigate
housing conditions in Pensacola, and
after survey of the houses available,
nave come to the conclusion that no
houses will be built by the govern
ment here until all available property
has been put in use.
The survey indicated that many old
buildings throughout the city now in
bad repair can be remodeled and used
to house shipyard workers. The PEN
sacola Shipbuilding Company will
take over on a two-year lease at a fair
rental any buildings which can be
converted into living quarters, and the
property owners Of the city are asked
TO be patriotic enough to meet the
governments needs at this time by
Offering these places to the company.
Citizens having vacant rooms suit

The government will not allow any

Escambia and West Florida O.
KS School and Dry
Amendments.

James Largue was defeated by Com
missioner J. G. White for the office
of county commissioner by about two
to one on the face OF incomplete re-
turns from Escambia county precincts
last night, very light vote having
been cast throughout the county. Both
The prohibition and the 10-mill school
tax amendments to the state constitu-
tion were carried IN Escambia county
by an overwhelming majority. In
complete returns from West Florida
and other points indicate that Flori-
dians favored the dry and school tax
measures.
The lack of more than one contest
among local men and the fact that
many men working at the ship yard
and on the reservation found it m
expedient to take time to vote is blam
ed by politicians for the light vote
polled yesterday. 1t was apparent that
those who went to the polls were the
men interested in the prohibition and
school tax amendments, since both
propositions received a wholesome
backing.
AT Tallahassee, where one of the
sharpest contests in the state was look
ed for over the prohibition question
the drys carried the contest by about
f1ve to one, press reports indicated.
The school tax amendment received
the same backing in the capital city
and tick eradication, a pertinent ques-
ton in Leon county was expected to
carry twosto one on the face of incom-
plete returns. Less than half the vot
ers of Leon county participated in the
election.
Some surprise was evinced at the
light vote polled by Mr.. Largue in his
candidacy for county commissioner,
many having predicted a more even
contest for the county office between
Largue and the present chairman of
the county board.
Many of the county precincts failed
to make returns to Judge Bellingers

LOCAL DOCKS IN PERIOD OF
YEARS SOUGHT BY BOARD

Further evidence that the govern
ment intends to use the port of Pen
saeola in after the war shipping to an
extent never before experienced here,
is shown in the request for the dockage
facilities utilized here in The past four
years. The request has come to the
Chamber of Commerce from the Port
and Harbor Commission of the u. S.
Shipping Board at Washington.
The request asks that a survey OF
the total lineal feet of dock utilized in
1913 be made. by Secretary Beck and
reported to the authorities at once.
Other requests made are for a report
on the 1ineal feet Of dockage assigned
to various trades vessels in 1913; a
survey of the total lineal feet of dock
age of all the piers in Pensacola.
The Port and Harbor Commission
also asks Secretary Beck to furnish the
total amount of cargo handled in Pen
sacola at all the piers between the
years 1913 and 1917. The request
states that it is of vital Importance
that the data regarding the cargo tom
mage handled be sent to Washington
at the earliest possible time.
Auth critics here view the numerous
requests regarding the city's doekage
and harbor facilities as indicative of
the future use which will be made
of this port, if the authorities show
the ability to handle the business here
