La few years ago Pensacola had nothing to depend
upon but it's lumber and timber. 1t was great
port for pine products but outside OF this

The commissioners have been requested to call
an election OF the voters to determine whsther or

There has been . great deal of criticism of the
present administration of city affairs but because
this Is true. does by any argue that the

The main thing that is the matter with city at

enough to vote at that time.
Unless the voters put the men in nomi-

ineffective.
The commission form Of government has been
found to work out well in other cities. those
