Progress Of Pensacola

The contrast Of Pensacola's present
with its past will best demonstrate
Its progress. Our population now Is
over $4,000. In 1850 1t was 2,164. and
6.845 In 1880. In the latter year, it
had seven miles Of streets all unpaved.
no sewers, water works. gas or cleo
trio lights. street railroads or omnibus
line. The streets were lighted with
Oil lamps and the supply was obtain
In diameter driven into the ground
to the depth OF SO or 60 feet with
suction pumps at the top.
It's fire department consisted of five
volunteer companies having a mem
bership Of $50 and equipped with
1 steam fire engine, two hose carts
and a hook and ladder truck and a
hand engine. 1t was well organized
and efficient There were two public
schools. one each for white and colored
children. The Catholic convent had
four schools, one each for white and
colored, boys and girls, and the Epis-
copal church also had a school under
the direction of it's rector.
This year was the beginning of a
new era of prosperity for Pensacola,
as the result of the destructive fire
of incendiary origin which at IL: 80
"a. m. on the 18th day OF December
started in building on Palafox street
between Romano and Intendencia
streets and swept by strong north
east gale down both sides of a,=fox
street to Main street and east on Gov
eminent street beyond the old Catholic
church which was located on the lot
in the rear o. the present opera house
The buildings in the fires path were
most inf1amable, and as the only steam
fire engine was in the repair shop
the destruction in this area was COM
plete and included the loss of many
valuable public records in the city's
archives.
After this fire all the brick buildings
on PalafOX street south of Garden
were erected and many brick buildings
were erected in other sections. al
though as late as 1907 there were only
five fire-proof buildings in the city,
two were of reinforced concrete.
The fire-proof city Jail and bank build
ing were then in the course of con-
struction. There were eleven three
story buildings. one five story and one
seven story building.
During the period from 1895 to
1905 fierce contest between the two
factions into which our citizens di-
vided, mainly along lines that exist
ed in our state politics, resulted in
placing the deciding votes in the city
This condition became demofalizing,
and the evil was eradicated by the

extending from Main street to Gar
den street. The sidewalks through
out the city were mostly of wood, ex-
cept within the limits south of Gar
den street and between Baylen and
Tarragonna streets. The sewers, in
Guiding private lines, and those con-
structed by the government and the
county board OF health did not exceed
five miles in length, and it was a great
privilege to be able to connect with
them. Surface drainage was by means
of open bitches or drains( but much OF
the rainfall was quickly absorbed by
the pOrus soil of our unpaved streets.
The thickly settled and favored
sections of the city were Illuminated
by gas lights furnished by the Pen
sacola Gas Company, which has oper-
ated it's works in this city since 1888.
In the same year the horse drawn
street car system was established. This
line extended originally to Friscatti
at the eastern terminus of Gregory
street, and to Kupfrian's Park just
outside the northwest limits of the
city. These two places were pleasure
resorts. The Pensacola Water Works
established in 1886 were privately own
ed and furnished the chemically whole
some water with which nature favors
us. This company was doing a flour
ishing t-lsiness, although residents in
a small area. only We're served. On
the lot at~the corner of PalafOx and
Cervantesi streets the Water Company
erected it's stand-pipe. the top being
1919 feet above the intersection of Pala-
fox and Government streets, and fur
nished hydraulic pressure for fire pro-
lection. This stand-pipe was removed
by the city commissioners in 1913 to
fnr. 10 ha1 if1I1
and modernly equipped laboratory of
the State Board of Health.
The passenger depot of the L. & n.
railroad companies was a large well
built, but poorly equipped, unsanitary
and misera bly, kept building at the
northeast corner of Tarragonna and
Wright streets. Some of the changes
in the conditions existing in 1899 that
might interest the reader are men,
toned.
The horse cars were superseded by
electric cars in 1896. This electric
line was extended via PalafoX. Wright,
Alcaniz to Ninth street, now Brainard.
In it was further extended from
Brainard street via Sixth avenue and
Thirteenth street to it's eastern termi-
nus at Twelfth avenue.
On the west side of town it was
extended via Gregory, DeVilliers and
LaRua streets to st. Johns cemetery
and Kupfrian's park, ais, north on
Palafox via DeSoto, Spring, Gadsden,
DeVilliers to connect with the exist
ing lines to establish the North Hill
belt. The extension of the lines to
form the East Hill belt was made I'M
der ordinances passed in 1905.
These improvements of the street
car system indicated that the city was
growing and would continue to pro-
gress. And most of the residences

The modern city jail and beautiful

A small portion of the sewer and
paving work was completed after the
advent Of the commission government
in 1913 under the supervision and di-
rection of Commissioners Adolph
Greenhut, Thos. II. Johnson and F. r.
Pou, who also with an additional bond
issue in 1915 further improved and
beautified the waterwork plant, and
erected the handsome building on
Spring street south of Garden for the
use OF the fire department
The many and great improvements
noted would have been impossible had
it not been for the economical pro-
gres of the city. which during the last
mentioned -eriod is indicated by the

ments of it's wharves and terminal ia

Improvement of jefferson street wharf
and also it's coaling facilities On Mus

The advent of the laval stores in

yard just north of the city: the en-
largement and improvement OF the fer
tilizing factory: establishment Of the
cotton oil mill and of the whiting fac
tory, all occurred during this period
and then followed the building Of the

tending far into Alabama with Birm-

structfon by it of the magnificent

north of Gadsden street and west of
Palafox, and on East Hill east of Ninth
avenue and north of Belmont street
were constructed after the electric car
system was established.
In 1900 and 1901 there was great de-
mand for public improvement. This
was voiced by mas meeting of citi-
zens held at Cutters Music Hall. up
stairs in a building on the same site
as the building In which Cutters
music store is now located. The most
influential citizens and largest prop
erty towners were conspicuous by
their absence from this meeting. But
the meeting inaugurated the campaign
for a municipal bond issue for public
improvements. This resulted in the
passage of a law by the legislature of
1901, empowering the city to make its
own valuation of property for NUM-
cipal taxation, independent of the
state and county assessments, and
also of a law authorizing the issu-
ance of bonds. All preliminaries for
the issuance of these bonds were per-
fected. r. C. Brent, William Fisher
and J. NJ. Pfeiffer GALL of whom are
numbered among our worthy depart
ed citizens). constituted the board of
bond trustees, but financiers and bond
experts of New York advised against
the issuance of the bonds at the time
and in the manner proposed, and in
tervening local conditions. postponed
their issuance until 1906, after the leg
islature of 1905 passed the enabling act
which it was my privilege as city at
torney to draw. Because of Mr..
Fishers death and the voluntary re-
tirement of Mr.. Brent the new board
of bond trustees was composed of l..
Hilton Green, w. X. Hyer. Jr., and J.
NJ. Pfeiffer, any they with the city
council committee on finance con-
trolled this first real large financial
venture of the city.
From 1906 to 1912 the city issued
improvement bonds amounting to ST.
100000. In 1911 other bonds to re-
fund old bonds amounting to S254.000
that had been issued in 1881 to take up
bonds that were issued to aid the
