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

Chairman NJ. NJ. Smith of the state
road department gave Escampla
county good road boosters little en-
uragement at yesterday afternoons $
meeting at the county courthouse. Mr..
Smith said that about 100000 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 $3.50
basis. Aside from this he said no
more money would be available until
the end of 1921.
j. d. Smith of Mariana, 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 u. D.'s'' county
failed to meet its appropriation and
lost out.
u. 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 We're appropriated without any
u. 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
as having been spent on roads and
would appropriate $4,000 to equal it.
he also said he would urge the depart
ment to designate the FIomaton 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 c. Register, a member of the
state board, spoke briefly and said he
was strongly in favor of the construc-
ton of road No. 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 -apportionment

prospects, however

Expression From Mr.. Hancock.

Mr.. Hancock when interviewed last
night following receipt of the forego-
ing special dispatch from the Journals
Washington correspondent, stated that
the postoffice department had not no
titled him of the nomination of his
successor, nor did he expect to receive
any notice until after the senate's con-
firmation at which time he would have
something to nnounce not only to his
many friends in Pensacola but to those
throughout the Third Congressional
district.
Mr.. Hancock added that in any event
he sincerely hoped that his successor
would prove to be as efficient q post
master and as useful a citizen of Pen
sacola as he had earnestly endeavored
to be, and he bespeaks for his sUcces-
sor the same splendid spirit Of co-Op-
GRAFTON as received by him in his va
rious activities for the eountry's good.
1t is an undeniable fact that Mr..
Hancoek,s record of achievements now
established becomes standard by
which future postmasters in Pensacola
may be judged. Mr. Hancock has lived
up to his conceptions of the unofficial
functions. of a postmaster for he has
been truly a leader in the community.
Notwithstanding the strenuousness
of the past few years in maintaining
skilled organizations 0ue 10 war COLI
ditions. the flu epidemic and general
instability in industry. Mr.. Hancock
believes the organization. at the local
postoffice to be second to none in the
service. and his only recently express
ed regret of giving way to his success
sor has been the necessity occasioned
thereby of separating from this organ
iZatiOn.
It has been known for the past sew
eral months by Mr.. Hancock's friends,
in fact since his recommendation by
President Wilson for reappOintment
was lost in the filIibuster in which the
gixty-fifth congress ended last fall.
that his plans were being laid Tor
future outside, in fact it is known that
he had expected TO have been relieved
at an earlier date than this. However.
his devotion to the duties Of the office
and TO the functions of the postmas-
tership have shown no laxity.

Thrift in Industry"
"l.Thrift Day should be everyday

can safely say that the packing house
industry success has been made by
the practicing of thrift as a ground

being educated that thrift is an es-

success. When they have thrift in

their work, they Immediately become
an asset not only to themselves but
to their company.
"As a sideline illustration, all
hackers carry a pension fund, deduct

every employees salary-same is for
their benefit at all times. After serv-
ing their company Loyalty for speci-
fled number of years, they are pen
stoned and retired. This thrift move
exemplifies thrift to their advantage

Are FOR PLUMB
Grand Chief of Locomotive En-
gineers Says Leary Story
Was Absolutely False.

Some weeks ago a special story from
John J. Leary, Jr., at Washington said
only the radicals were true to Plumb
That the plan was dead the railroad
brotherhoods refusing to have any
things to do with it" S. c. Donaldson,
chief engineer of division 275. Pensa-
cola, clipped the story and forwarded
it to w. S Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
for information.
In answer to Mr.. Donaldson's letter
the grand chief replied as follows:-

The statement embodied in this
clipping is absolutely false. Further
more the railroad brotherhoods are
doing everything in their power to
have the Plumb plan for the public
we believe that it will be adopted.
Thousands of men are joining the
Plumb Plan league every month and
the men joining the Plumb Plan league

only the railroad men, but business
men, farmers and others are taking
an interest in the Plumb Plan league,
