of Mrs. Allis on my bed, tied down by

ouIJA BOARD TELEGRAPH.

b The afternoon paper evidently wants
to create the impression that it has
a cinch on the news. but from some of
the stories printed the news must come
via the ouija board route. In Mon
days edition there appears an item
with a Panama City date line telling
of an explosion on a launch in the bay
late Sunday night. yet the afternoon
paper claims to have received a special
report of the occurrence on Sunday
forenoon. twelve hours before il
happened.
This story was printed in Pensacola
for the first time in Monday morning $

THINKS COMMISSIONERS
HAVE ACTED WISELY

Editor Pensacola Journal:
] notice for the past three or four
weeks, through the Evening News and
Pensacola Journal a considerable con-
fusion in regard to the proposed muni-
cipaI dock, which by a. small group Of
men has brought the matter into the
courts by filing an injunction against
our city commissioners, prohibiting
them at present from purchasing the
site they agreed on after duly consid-
ering all sites placed before them.
AS citizen of Pensacola. believing
in her present and future development
as do, in fairness to all, j. feel that
our city commissioners have acted
wise and used good judgment in Sc
lecting Palafox wharf as the proper
place for said dock
Ny reason for approving the action
of our city commissioners is this: ID,
Tt is centrally located; (2), 1t is self
supporting from the day the transfer
is made; 80, there is ample room to
take care of all coastwise trade, also
the ocean trade we will get for some
time to come; "a. there is ample room
for all local tradei (5). there is ample
room for railroad connections with the
u. & u. railroad and the G. r. & A.
railroad, and all of these connections
can be on easy curves and at a close
distance from the main municipal
dock; co, there is ample room to ex-
pand this dock in width and in length,
as business demands; %, the depth
OF water that is at this dock at pres
ent no other site has, that was before
our city commissioners; go SPalafoz

greater depth without caying or mo-
testing said pier.
As citizen of Pensacola have
gone over this site and carefully stud
led this proposition and from my ex-
perience / find the above correct.
believe that our city commission
ers are honest in their convictions as
to their decision on selecting Palafox
wharf for municipal dock as there
is no doubt in my mind but what it
is a plain paying business proposition
and to the interest of the taxpayers
of the city of Pensacola.
Thanking you for the space, in fair
ness to all concerned, 1 may have more
to say later. Yours,

THE PALAFOx DOCK

Here are a few figures on the Pala-
lox dock which may set you to think
ing:
The price Of the dock ls..... $3.50 ,ooo
The price of the McIlwaine
property .........s..... 1850
The rental value amounts, for
five years, to .......... 10000
The insurance for five years
amounts to ............. 10000
The loss in taxes for five years $4,000
1851, 500
1t will be seen that by the time the
site is turned back to the city, the site
alone win have cost more than the en-
tire sum which the city has at hand
to spend on municipal dock develop
ment
In the original contract with the r.
e. Saunders Company, it is specifical-
ly mentioned that for five years, at
$4,000 a year, the z. E. Saunders Co.
is to get free rental, BUT that in the
event that the city wishes to take over
this property at any time in the in
terval the city must pay the Nelles
interests at the rate Of $4,000 a year,
showing the valuation to be 100000 for
the five years.
During that five year period, the
contract specifically states that the z.
e. Saunders CO. is to have the entire
west half of the wharf at its disposal
and also ingress and egress at all times
over the east side Of the wharf. No
mention is made in this contract OF any
insurance.
But following the signing Of the con-
tract, and on conveyance Of the deed.
an insurance clause is written in,
which makes the city responsible for
the insurance not only for the wharf.

 Ignoring anything bearing on pomp or ceremony while governor of the state, the former governor is being called upon to observe court formal ity in the position he now holds.
 His greeting to the cousin Of the King of Denmark was just one of the courtesies he extended during the stay of the prince and princess, as the Amer ican minister attended functions in their homer every evening during their stay in Siam.
 This information was contained m a letter from the former governor to Mrs. Edna Corbett. secretary to Jus tice Baker, in which he touched upon many matters of interest relative to conditions in Siam It follows in part:
