PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND IMPORTANT
INDUSTRIES WORK OF TWO SCORE YEARS

No comment on public improvements
would be adequate without mention of
the beautiful city plan and the Won
derful system of parkways, which are
not only a source of pride 20 the citi-.
zens but a constant reminder to the
romance and a future that beckons
with wonderful possibilities of devel-
opment
Long ago, when the city was laid out
under Spanish rule, the leaders of
civic affairs had an eye to beauty, as
was evidenced in the width of the
streets and the symetrical manner of
which they were laid out. When it was
decided to put. in a modern park
way system, and government land
scape artist came to Pensacola to draw
the wide city streets lent themselves
to the beautifying of Pensacola.
The civil league, composed of num-
ber of the more prominent and pro-
gressive women of Pensacola, took the
first steps in beautib

cola through it's public parks, and were
instrumental not only in bringing the
government expert to Pensacola, but
aided in financing the movement.
Recreation Center.
AS a recreation centre Pensacola is
hardly to be rivalled, as far out

does it afford deep-sea and fresh wa

gulf and in the bayous, but also fine
sport for the huntsmen. In Bayview

the Gulf Beach highway makes a won

modern design, and will enable the
handling of freight at even greater
dispatch than is now obtained. There
are two coal docks, and vessels can
be supplied with cargo or bunker coal
from both electrically operated and
gravity chutes. This equipment en-
ables them to supply vessels with the
quickest possible despatch. There is
also a modern oil bunkering station
and In addition, there is under pro-
cess of construction, a five thousand
ton dry dock, which will be able to ac-
commodate any ordinary size vessel.
With the resumption of foreign
trade, resulting from cessation of hos
tilities, the Pensacola Shipping COM
pany was the first to realize the won
derful opportunities presented, and
Immediately set to work developing
and building up an organization with
view towards getting for Pensacola,
her share of the export business which
would naturally result.
Having once reached this decision,
they Immediately directed their ef-
forts towards interesting shippers from
the interior, for which Pensacola
would be the natural outlet. Their
advances met with an enthusiastic
and hearty response in Memphis,
and as result, 1.-The Memphis Line"

Pensacola has, without a doubt, the
finest harbor in the south. and with
the entry of the United States ship
ping board into the worlds commerce
field, Pensacola has been given the
opportunity of making for herself, a
prominent place in maritime activities.
Her railroad facilities are excellent
and sufficient, precluding any posi-
bility of congestion. and are of a flex-
ible nature so that they may be en-
larged to keep pace with the develop
ment of the port. At the present time
there are five warehouse and platform
docks, each of which has a minimum
depth at mean low tide of from % to
80 feet. Plans have also been made
for the construction of a municipal
dock with all necessary railroad con-
nections. This dock will be Of the most

of an alignment of this kind.
However, the company's activities
were not limited to The Memphis

1t is the duty of every loyal Pensa-
colian to advertise these and any 9TH

located to Pensacola, and bring to the
attention of every exporter, the Won

With the establishment of the above
sailings, the Pensa cola Shipping COM
pany are now ready to entertain Of
fers for practically any good foreign
port. In the regular sailings to Liv-
erpool, they can make advance book
ings up to and including March 1920,
at regular shipping board rates.
For the convenience of shippers, they
have organized a complete forwarding
department. This department is thor
oughly equipped to handle all manner
of shipments, and will apply for neces-
sary permits, make up export declara-
tions and bills of lading, and in every
respect, look after the interests of the
shipper.
The Pensacola Shipping company be-
lieves that this is only a start towards
making Pensacola the largest port Of
expectation in the south, but it will
require the earnest efforts of Pensa-

What Is claimed to be a new world s
record was made recently at the yard
of the Pensacola Shipbuilding Com
pany when eight men drove 1924 rivets

The record was made on hull go.
The average is 81 1-19 rivets per
gang per hour, an average of 600 rivets

sisted by Louis Pistner Morton's.

an Independent count of the rivets to
make sure that the check lists were
correct.
Some excellent work has been done
during the last months at the Pensa-
cola Shipbuilding plant and much riv-

Gus gangs. John Kurr. superintendent
Of hull 973. said yesterday that he
would make an attempt to break Nor

In the past 40 days the Pensacola
Shipbuilding company has delivered
the Cushnoc and Escambia, launched

constructed in 1915 at a cost OF s400,-

GRATED, is conducted entirely under the
direction of the Sisters of Charity who
own the property, and who by their
wise and able supervision are making

cy and alienation of suffering are
known. Elsewhere In these pages will
be found a story relating to the Pen
sacola hospital and the Sisters who

Another building erected IN 1915 was
the state board of health building, or
state laboratory. The laboratory was
first established IN the city hall, June.
1910, with DIR. F. A. Brink In charge.
The lots for the handsome building
on Palafox hill were donated TO the
public health board by the city, and
the building was erected at cost OF

beautiful residences in the south, both

for the home seeker.
And nothing could exceed In beauty
the homes on the Bayshore. Not only
does a summer colony find rest and
recreation here, but the palatial resi-
dences of a number OF Pensacola IS
prominent citizens add to the beauty
of a scene that nature has painted In
wonderful colors.
From time immemoria1 men have

Pensacola, but only in recent years has
the conquest of the air been among
Pensacola's assets, for the Pensacola
naval air station is a great business
asset, as well as marvellous gov
ernment training school. Perhaps
nothing has done more towards adver-
tising Pensacola to the world than
has this great training station, where
thousands of men have graduated in
air maneuvers. The naval air station
and the coast defense furnish no mean
publicity for this section, if we wish to
compute these advantages in a COM
mercial way.
Wholesale Trade.
Perhaps nothing could better indi-
cate Pensacola's progress than the
wholesale trade of this section, which
has increased from a business of s3,-
10000 in 1898 to approximately $780,
10000 at the present time.
In 1897, there was only one Pensa-
cola jobber who did business out of
Pensacola, and these operations were
confined principally to Milton, and oc-
casionally as far as Milligan; the en-
tire business done from Crestview was
by Mobile and New Orleans merchants.
Today 95 per cent. of the business in
this section is handled by Pensacola
wholesale merchants and packing
houses
In the past twenty years the busi-
ness has grown until there are now
seventeen wholesale merchants and

Pensacola's Population.
In 1899 the population Of Pensacola
totalled 1900: today the population
is estimated at 10000.
Public improvements.
Important among the accomplish
ments of the past twenty years are the
public improvements. Pensacola Is to-
day one of the best paved cities in
walks in every section, covering an
area of more than 25 miles.
In addition to the public improve
ments, the private building in the
past twenty years indicates not only
progress but civic pride. Twenty years
ago there was not an office building In
the city. Today there are four of the
most modern construction, which rep
resent a cost of several million dol
lars.
The half million dollar hotel of the
San Carlos Hotel company would be
a credit to any city. 1t is one of the
most beautiful as well as one of the
most commodIous hotels in the south,
and is the subject OF a favorable COM
ment from all visitors to the city.

 A late casualty list shows that 50,- 15O soldiers, sailors and marines died on the battlefields of France and in action against submarines on the high seas during the nineteen months of our participation in the war with the German nation.
 During that same period, back here in peaceful America, approxi- mately 1860 men, women and chil- dren died as the result of accidents, and approximately 2,OOO,Oo0 persons were injured in accidents

WANTS MILITARY PAGEANT STAGED
 IN WASHINGTON
Exponent of Universal Milf tary Training Desires
 Pershing's Presence.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Rlepresen- tative Kahn, chairman of the Housa military affairs committee, does not want to see the advent of peace with out a suitable celebration in the way of a great military pageant in the ma tional capital.
 He desires to see the entire 1st Division of the overseas army, with Gen. Pershing at its head, march down Pennsylvania avenue and re- ceive from the President in front of the White House the formal approval of the American people.
 Mir. Kahn says he will urge upon the War department the advisab bility of such a demonstration and hopes to have his idea adopted. He said yes te-day:
 The 1st Division was the first to go overseas. It was there throughou; the period of American participation It was the last to leave. It covered l itself with glory. It was an outfit o, | regulars In the beginning. 1 ''Of course It's losses have been re placed in part with drafted men. but
