TEN CENT SUGAR FoR PENSACOLA.

With the municipal sale of sugar. which opens
Monday at the city hall. Pensacola it's first
decisive step in checking profiteering. and house
will profit only in the lower price of the
commodity, but through the psychological effect
which this sale viii have. Arrests which have al
ready been made in a number of communities have
already been most salutary and real punch has
been given to the campaign instituted by the gov
ernment in the arrests which have already been
made
Pensacola is fortunate in getting the only car
load assigned Florida by the equalization board
which has divided the country into three districts,
with headquarters at New Orleans San Francisco
and New York. The distribution which will be
handled Monday will take place at the city hall.
Sugar. which has been purchased for less than nine
cents. will be sold for ten. slight increase in
price having been made in order to freight
and other Incidental expenses. Any surplus fund
which may remain hand after the distribution
IL any, will be turned to local charitable
organization.
The fact that the wholesalers of the country,
through their president. have sent lengthy COM
munication to the government. proffering their
operation. indicates that the merchants themselves
realize that the hour has prices

as those which may readily be brought about by a
real cooperation between the merchant and rep

NOT A STATE FAIR.

The state press is almost unanimous in COM
menting ON the centennial celebration if it were
designed to be state exposition. Perhaps that
may partially due to the recent brochure sent
out through the by Mr.. Couchman. president
of the centennial exposition, which named him as
president of the State Fair and Exposition the
designation always given Florida's annual fair held
n Jacksonville.
The Ocala Star. referring to the centennial
says:
II will have to be held either Tampa

Many attended the worlds fair In Chicago. the St
Louis exposition, the Frisco and San Diego fairs.
over here in West Florida think nothing Of
running UP to New York Chicago. And Pensa-
cola hold the centennial on such scale
as will make IL well worth the while of the gen
tIeman from ocala and others to make the trip.
Ii In estimated that 100000 tourists visited Cali
fornia 1915, many of whom were from Pensa-
and other Florida cities. To do so they trav-
eled over thousand miles in one direction San
Francisco had attendance of 100000 and san
Diego about 100000. million passed through
San Francisco gates at least fifteen times The
same proportion holds for San Diego. With Pensa-
cola the exposition city it has been pointed out
by those who aided in making the California ex-
positions successful. Pensacola can figure on a
large percentage of the population south OF the
north line of Georgia and Alabama and east of the
line of Louisiana, nothing of the states
north and than thousand miles away. Pen
sacoia is figuring an attendance from New Eng
land and from the states north of the Cumberlands
and OF the Missouri
There is nothing that render Pensacola an
unadvantageous location for the centennial-not

tions.

COMMISSION MANAGER PLAN.

A mass meeting has been called for this eve
ming determine steps to be taken in forcing an
the of putting it to the vot-
ers of Pensacola to whether this city shall re-
main under the commission plan shall revert to
the adermanic form of government.
In lieu of the interest that has aroused.
and suggestions to various city plans of
government which might be satisfactorily worked
attention is called to the fact that the capital
city contemplating change of government and
has under consideration the commission manager
form. which has proven satisfactory in ST. Au-
gustne.
The differences, a s pointed by the ITALIA
hassee Democrat. in commission government and
the commission manager plan. is that in the COM
mission form, all the power Is distributed among
the several commissioners handle the details of
city affairs by men who not know anything
about running city affairs efficiently economi-
cally. In commission manager form of govern
ment the people elect three commissioners from the
city large, of whom will be paid. They.
in turn elect of their number mayor. who also
acts without pay and is merely the ttular head of
the city with of the usual powers and duties
of mayor. The commission of three appoints five
officers, viz city manager. municipal Judge. city
attorney, city auditor and clerk. and treasurer
and collector. The city manager appoints all other
officers and employees.
St. Augustine had a commission ma ger
form of government since 1915. When ST. Angus
tine first voted for adoption of their charter IT
was adopted by just three majority. In November
1915. after the people had had opportunity TO
observe the way this form of government had
worked out, they voted TO continue 1t by vote of
6S3 in favor and 345 against.

was overtaxed with u~nfortunates taken

thus it came to pass that a refuge for
the suffocated firemen was sought for
at Mr.. Coles house.
A communication from Messrs. Har-
rs and Harris, attorneys, of 315 Mar
ket street, Camden, was now read.
This letter stated that the law firm re-
ferred to represented a number of eli
ents owning lots east of the boardwalk
and south of Schellenger avenue, who
are ready and anxious to improve them.
These clients contend that the board
walk was built and is maintained il
legally in its present location. The
city is urged to remove this alleged
obstruction and open the streets
through to the beach from Schellenger
avenue southwark. The lots in ques-
ton were qualified as "ripe for i'm
provement" by the clients attorneys.
One almost fancied they were talking
about fruit fit for p%lucking. 1--WE do
not wish to involve the city in a law
suit, but must insist upon immediate
steps being taken for the removal Of
this boardwalk obstruction illegally

Of this remarkable mandatory letter.
The general impression produced by
the reading of the letter was not favor
able to the scheme of the new board
walk propogandists. 1t sounded like
a game of bluff, to frighten the timid.
As the names of the clients were eau
tiously omitted, little attention was
paid to the communication, and 1t was
referred to the solicitor. A clash &C.

Mrs. Wood wards little talk was di-
rected mainly 10 the Cleanup" sub
ject which is now uppermOst in every
mind. She spoke of the great danger
from fire on account of the accumula-
tion of waste paper in many places,
and told of the apprehension felt by
many persons living on Piue avenue In
the n~eighborhood of the Miller apart
ments. In the rear of this property
she said there is a stable stuffed with
waste paper, constituting a serious
menace all summer. Acting upon the
the suggestions given by the ex-Presi-
dent of the Civic Club an ordinance
will be passed compelling all dwellers
to bale or bundle all waste paper. This
method will prevent paper from being
blown or scattered around, and will
greatly facilitate the removal thereof.
