other words, how foolish 1t would have
been of the commissioners to have
given any consideration whatever to
the economic features of the matter
in the face OF an approaching election
in which they are all candidates for re-
election
Then too there is another angle Of
consideration Of the matter The fed
eral government, you know. doesn't
lend its aid to highway construction
in any subdivision of a state unless
the work is done under the supervision
Of the state highway authorities; and
it isn't beyond the pale Of possibility
that the Escambia county commission
ers, or rather the quartette OF the
board who are acting together in the
present sacrifice of $4,000 Of the
peoples money, didn't desire state
highwas commission supervision of
the construction Of these scattered
fra gments Of road; preferring instead.
to do the job themselves for expert
mental purposes.
In conclusion. 10 my way of think
ing. the four commissioners responsible
for this proposed $4,000 waste of
money. have forfeited their usefulness
to the citizens and taxpayers of the
county and should be retired to the
shades of private life. And the people
Of the county owe it to themselves to
effect a clean sweep Of the board of
commissioners on June sth, with the
exception OF course. of Commissioner
Wentworth who, as stated above, has
strenuously and consistently battled
for the people in his unyielding OPP
position to the program of Commits

Candy to construct these IL miles
of highway without avai1ing the county

Pensacola in It's location and

That Pensacola is building north
ward and eastward is daily evidenced,
and the new buildings erected by the
Levy brothers on the corner of Wright

the street, in which several automobile
companies viii be located, are suffi-
cient guarantee of the growth of the
town.
Already the Federal Bakery is fully
domiciled in its new location. and r.
H. Escott, manager, stated yesterday
afternoon that the location on the
corner of Palafox and Wright is the
best in the city.

Mr.. Escott. 81 gave careful study to

because business took them past these

But here it is the home going

$4,000 per mile, so it IS manifestly fair

BAR ASSOCIATION REPORT

This afternoon the sub-conl-

to make their final report as to
their investigation into alleged II
regularities in the obtaining OF
divorces III Alexandria. We TN
derstand that they have completed
their tabulation of the divorce
cases filed in the Corporation
Court from May /, 1920, to the
present time. Their report, SO we
are informed, includes the names
of the attorneys represented in the
suits and the names of the witness
ses upon whose testimony the de-
crees were rendered. Probably no
recommendation will be made by
the subcommittee, that being lett
to the whole committee appointed
by the Bar Association.
On Wednesday next, I'D in
slant, the examination of witness
ses will be begun by the main conf
nittee, and upon the testimony
therein developed, we presume,
will depend the recommendations
that may be made to the Assocla-
ton. The Gazette, in common
with all good citizens, desires only
a fair and impartial hearing. 1t
this developes the fact that laws
have been violated or dishonorable
methods resorted to by practising
attorneys-as the Gazette has pre-
yiously stated in its editorial col
tms, the guilty ones should be
punished.
We have entire confidence Ill
the gentlemen composing the COM

investigation will be thorough
and conclusive.
