state Commissioner Borein will pledge
his vote to Pensacola when claims
OF the rival cities are heard in jack

swing the tide towards Pensacola as
there is almost absolute certainty that
George w. Allen, OF Key West, will
offer his support to this city as the

Committees are agreed that in or

The city and county can bond. as orig

vote appropriations and the burden
of financing would be shared by for

make the celebration international.

noon Several bad wash-outs occurred
on the Bayshore line. the worst ones
being near Olivia street. where both
the electric and q. r. a A. tracks were
undermined.
On the Belt line the trolley wire was
down. due largely to the early morn
ing wind. There was also wash-out
and service was not resumed for
nearly five hours
AT Goulden the electrical disturb
ance early in the morning burned out
the transformers at the fertilizer plant
and it is said that repairs Will require
more than a week.
Lighting circuits were out OF COM
mission In nearly every part OF the
city, due also to the electrical storm
rather than to the rain and wind
Despite the heavy rainfall there was
little other damage in the city. Some
wood block paving was washed out
on Gregory, Guillemardc, Spring and
Government streets, but the extent OF
the damage was not nearly 30 grcat
as during the heavy rain in April.
Probably the greatest loss. due TO
the storm. will fall on the farmers
who already have been complaining
Of the unusual amount of rain. The
cotton growers, especially. Will be
hard hit. Corn, peanuts and peas
also will suffer. 1t Is not believed
that what fruit remains ungathered
will be damaged
