Lennon ATTACKS
GAFFNEy'S STAND
Draws Parallel Between Police
Pay Loan Suggestion and
Attitude 3 Years Ago
SUBJECT OF OLD COUNCIL

a councilmanic chicken was dragged
home to roost and thrown at the feet
of Councilman Joseph =. Gaffncy today
py James Il. Lennon. who was prcsi
dent of the old Select Council.
Lennon drew parallel between Gaff .
ncy's suggestion yesterday for a loan
to pay increased salaries for police and
hrcmen and Gaffney's attitude three
years ago toward loan for higher
municipal salaries.
Gaffncy's suggestion to the Moore
majority came during the debate on
Charles +. Halls discovery" of surplus
funds tucked away in appropriations
made by the old councils.
Gaffney described the need for higher
police and fremcn's pay as an
emergency measure that could be met
by an emergency loan and declared that
u the members on "our side OF tho
chamber would vote for such loan.
"Gafrncy was reading the riot act to
tho Moore administration. declared
Lennon today. ''but what action did
ne take when 7 rcId the riot act to the
smith administration three years age
on this very question of increased mu
iicipal salaries?
con February :. 1917. while GafTney
as finance chairman, and Thomas II
smith. then Mayor were comforting on
city finances. I declared my desire tc

g"nnrics and 81 900 900 or more fol
living salaries.
asserted then that to delay Longer
was little short of criminal. I declared
that obtaining money for living salaries
was 10000 times more commcndabl,
than obtaining IL for art museums. park
ways and convention halls.
but now the tables are turned. Mr.
Gaffney no longer heads the finance
committee. and is now what has beer
termed minority member of tho new
Council. lis new attitude certainly il
an interesting one.

HOLD BIG MEETING
AT GAINESVILLE

Gainesville, Oct. At the meet =
ing of the State Beekeepers' Associa
ticn Just closed here some interesting
facts regarding honey production in
Florida were brought out 1t was as
certained that there are upwards OF
9OOO bee keepers in the state, the
great majority of them operating less
than twenty colonies of bees Approx
imately 60 per cent of the honey pro-
duced in the state is made by these
smaller beekeepers rather than by
the commercial apiaries. The mum
her of colonies of bees in the state Is
estimated at 1888.
All the discussion pointed to the
conclusion that beekeeplng on a
small scale is very profitable, and the
amount of honey produced in Flor
ida could be increased many fold.
About one hundred members were
present at the meeting. They elected
W. Barney, of Palma Sola, presi
dent. J. X. Isbell, of Wewahitchka
vice president; X. E. Bragden, o.
