ESCAMBIA GETS
LITTLE COMFORT
Chairman Smith of State Road
Department Says S13O,OOO
Is All Money Available
'J. d. STARTS ARGUMENT
Smith of Mariana Wanted to
''SpiIl Beans" About Dis
tributiOn of Funds

Chairman NJ. NJ. Smith of the state
road department gave Escamb1a
county good road boosters little en-
couragement at yesterday afternoons
meeting at the county courthouse. Mr..
Smith said that about $50 900 of auto
mobile maintenance money would be
available, provided it was matched
with $4,000 by the county, and that
500 900 had been appropriated for
the bridge across Escambia bay, that
amount also to be matched by Escam-
bia and Santa Rosa counties on a $3.50
basis. Aside from this he said no
more money would be available until
the end of 1921.
J. ID. Smith of Mariana, q mem
ber of the state board, drew fire from
Chairman Smith when he alluded to
tremendous amounts of free money
spent around Jacksonville" and Chair
man Smith denied the allegations.
IN. NJ said that -. DIS" county
failed to meet its appropriation and
lost out.
-. D." admitted that his county
didn't meet the appropriation and de-
clared it shouldn't have been expected
to do so, but that over in the east large
sums were appropriated without any
meeting" proposition asked.
y. D." didn't get all the opportunity
he wanted, to explain how the state
road money was apportioned, but de-
clared that the best thing for Escam-
bia county to do if it wanted roads
and bridges was to build them itself.
Chairman Smith said the state road
department would consider the $4,000
to be spent on the Pine Barren bridge
a
would appropriate $4,000 to equal it..
He also said he would urge the depart
ment TO designate the Flomaton road
as a state road. He suggested that
the money be spent in constructing
permanent road as far as possible and
leaving the remainder of the road in
its present condition, except for MAIN
tenance until more money was avail
able.
Major Brown, engineer for the state
department urged the same course and
J. H. Cross spoke favorably on the sug-
gestion.
Lee G. Register, a member of the
state board, spoke briefly and said he
was strongly in favor of the construc-
ton of road No. l from the Alabama
boundary through Pensacola to Jack
sonville as the first piece of work for
the road department to do but that
he had been frequently overruled.
Chairman Smith said that because
some counties had failed to meet their
appropriations, it might be possible
that Escambia would receive a little
more money on the e-apportionment.
He wasn't very enthusiastic over the
prospects, however
Secretary Marsh of the Escambia
Con- -
briefly and urged the board to do all
possible for west Florida and Escam-
bia county.
Chairman Smith urged that a dele
cation of two from Escambia county
attend the open meeting of the state
board on January 2S, and Major Brown
asked that the original Ferry Pass
bridge map be presented for consider
alton.

shaded electric lights. And If per-
chance you live in some out-ofthe-
way corner of the world where there
is no electricity. then there are stin
interesting lamps. illuminated by
kerosine, which are worth while.
These are sometimes made in bark.
sometimes in wicker. sometimes in
metal. The metal ones are, prob
ably. most suitable. because they are
safest.
For the light that is used for read
ing in bed there are some very clever
small electric lamps fitted with a
looped portion to hang over a hook
screwed into the bed or into the wall
by its side These are very CON
vepient. They come in gilt and green
finish.
Men. as well as women, like con-
venient lights for their hours of
recreation and leisure. There are ad-
mirable little smoking stands and
reading lights combined. Some of
them have small claim to artistic
merit, but all of them are suggestive
of peace and comfort, and some of
them are goc looking, too.
These lamps re usually made of
brass, sometimes in a duh 1ish.
They consist of a substantial stand
ard, on which little racks and trays
for the smokers paraphernalia are
fastened. The standard is topped
with a light. Adjustable, and pleasant

For an an-night light, where such

called nursery candle-a squat. thick
candle that will burn for eight. ten
or a dozen hours. This candle IS
safe If it is properly shielded from
