A PROSPEROUS YEAR.

The year of grace, 1921, promises to
be a prosperous one for Pensacola and
Escambia county, seven though the
general lines OF business on which
prosperity has in the past depended
may be below the normal level
Throughout the country there is a
movement on foot to increase the
amount of public construction being
done in order that employment may
be given to many who might other
wise be unemployed. The argument
is advanced that the time is auspi-
cious when building materials are
falling and labor is available at rea-
sonable wages.
Many cities and towns have decided
to float bond issues FOR needed public
construction and will do so as quick
ly as the legal formalities can be car
ried out.
Pensacola and Escambia county,
however, have a marked advantage in
this respect because their bond issues
are already authorized, and in some
cases sold, so that actual construc-
ton work here can proceed much
sooner than in other cities which are
just initiating their programs.
The construction of a fine new
school building In the city VIII give
employment to a large number of
men and will turn much money into
the Golfers of the merchants, building
supply dealers, etc.
The municipal docks will be built
this year and work on them will call
for a class of labor different from that
which will be employed at the school
building. This construction work viii
provide employment for number of
men for a considerable period.
These two important public i'm
provements in the city will be aug
mented by the county good roads pro-
gram which will provide for the con-
struction of about 102 miles of perma-
nent hard roads in the county in adj
dition to several important bridges,
among them being that commonly
called the Ferry Pass bridge.
All in all, Escambia county and
Pensacola can look forward TO a year
Of prosperity, inasmuch as business
conditions in general are almost sure
TO improve from day to day. now that
the peak has been passed.

FAREWELL TO ASAkIAH.
Dec. 2Sth, 1920.

ACt. @clil, A1-o'
Four long years in sack cloth and
ashes. Verify, poor Florida has been
punished enough, especially the fish
ermen of the state, who really brought
it upon themselves by giving Cats
that ten thousand majority. The dawn
of another and brighter day is upon us
and we now hope that we may forget
the past as a bad dream after January
4th.
The Florida fishermen have been
harrfed for nearly four years by the
ridiculous and arbitrary construction
placed on provisions of the fish law
by J. Asakiah Williams, whom Cats
appointed as state shell fish commits
missioner. Recently he gave to the
press a notice that the closed season
on fish known as mullet included alt
nluliet, which of course made anyone
having a salt mullet in his possession
liable &c arrest. He came to Cedar
Key and seized thousands of salt null
let. which We're caught and packed in
the open season. and threatened to
prosecute anyone who shipped any
salt mulIet before January 20th
The law does not deal with salt
muIlet but specifies that no fresh"
or freshly sailed mullet or roe shall
be shipped or be in the possession Of
anyone.
In constituting a law the intention OF
the legislature is always taken into
consideration and the words fresh
and freshly sailed" are used seyeral
times in connection with the closed
season provision. There is absolutely
no provision against the shipment or
possession of salt mullet that were
caught In the open season.
There is a good demand for salt
mullet during the closed season and
the fishermen have been deharred
from shipping them for the past four
years on account of this ridiculous
and arbitrary ruling.
A citizen of Cedar Key was IN a
Georgia city a few days ago and saw
a larga motor truck. loaded with fresh
