ATTEMPTED EXPLANATION

The Marion County Chamber of
Commerce has received a letter from
Mr.. Lewis G. Thompson, secretary of
the state railroad commission, ex-
planning why on Feb. 28th the rail-
road commission wrote the Chamber
of Commerce that the commissioners
were on that date writing the labor
board in regard to the jurisdiction of
the board as to crews on single gaso-
line cars, although the commission at
the hearing in Gainesville on Feb.
10th stated that the labor board re-
quired full crew on the single cars.
In his letter Mr.. Thomas states that
the commission had been informed
that the labor board required full
crews on single cars but that there
may have been change in the rules
of the labor board and the commits
sion was writing to find out if such
was the case.
Mr.. Thompson's letter is as follows:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of March End. When i stated
in my letter of Feb. 28th that the
commissioners have for some time
been investigating the possibility OF
operating gasoline motor cars on
routes where the revenue is not suff-
cient to warrant the operation OF
steam trains l had particular refer
ence to the physical operation OF
motor cars.
Some roads have had trouble in
operating these cars on account of the
difficulty in separating the races oc'
casioned by the limited amount OF
space involved, and other roads have
found them impractical on account ot
motive power difficulties. / recall al
this time only one road which is ope
rating gasoline motor cars over it!
tracks successfully; but with the in
creased highway traffic new types O.
cars are being put out, which vii
eliminate some of the dificultiel
which have heretofore been experienc
ed
However, the railroad commission
ers were informed that the labo
board required these cars to be operat
ed with full crew. In our letter o
February 25th you stated that yo1
are informed that the labor boar
had no jurisdiction as to the crew o.
these gasoline cars. 1t is possible tina
the rules of the labor board have bee
changed, and it was to find out def
nitely whether or not they assum
jurisdiction over gasoline cars ope
rated over railroads that the com
missioners wrote to that board t
ascertain definitely their position"

SOME BEARING ON
THE OCALA SITUATION

Tallahassee, March THE supreme
court has declared unconstitutional
provisions of a charter granted by the
legislature to the city of Gainesville
which in effect permitted the city to
assess the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road for a proportionate share of the
entire expense of paving streets ira
versed by the railroad.
In reaching its decision the higher
court reversed the action of the circuit
court for Alachua county in rendering
judgment against the carrier for
$4,000 for the paving of portion OF
Main street.
The carriers tracks extend longi-
tudinally along the street. The rail-
road voluntarily paid the expense OF
paving between its tracks and fol
two feet on each side, but the city
under the provisions of its charter
sought to have it pay a share of the
expense for paving the entire width OF
the street.
The supreme court declared these
provisions to be "wholly unwarranted'
and an "unwarranted exercise" of leg.
islative power.
This decision may have some bear.
ing on the situation in Ocala, wher.
it is desired that the A. C. L. railway
and the city join forces in paving Os
ceola avenue.
