Spends Restful Night.

On board President Harding's spe-
cial train, March 9-Refreshed by
good nights rest, President Harding
was looking forward enthusiastically
to the first day of his vacation when
he arose this morning aboard the spe-
cial train which is carrying the ex-
ecutive and his party to Florida for
a weeks rest and relaxation. Since
leaving Washington late yesterday
the special had made good time and
early today was skirting the lower
South Carolina. coast. It is scheduled
to arrive at st. Augustine, which will
be the Presidents vacation headquar-
ters, at o'clock this afternoon. The
run through Virginia and the Carroll
mas was without incident.
President Harding and the members
of his party, which in addition to Mrs.
Harding, Secretary Christian and
Brigadier General Sawyer, his per-
sonal physician, includes Attorney
General Daugherty, Speaker Gillett of
the House, and Under-Secretary of
State Fletcher all appeared to be en-
joying the trip immensely. The Pre-
sident intended to go out for round
of golf when he reached st. Angus
tine this afternoon.
While his vacation plans for the
week had not been announced early
today, it was understood Mr.. Hard
ing might take trip down the Flor
ida coast as the guest Of Edward B.
Mclean, publisher of the Washington
Post, on the latter's houseboat.
Elaborate precautions are being ta-
ken by the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road officials to protect the special
train on which the President is trav-
cling. Every yard of track is being
inspected by a pilot train running
ahead of the special, with the general
roadmaster of the line riding on the
rear of the pilot to make the inspec'
ton. No train is permitted to be
operated on any switch turned in the
track between the special and pilot
trains. A picked crew of conductors
{ and trainmen is operating the special
and the general road foreman Of en-
gieers is ridig in the engine cab.
One of the last things attended to
by President Harding before leaving
Washington yesterday was the pay
ment of his income tax. His check
included $4,000 as income tax on the
presidential salary.

between ironclads, which changed
the whole naval strategy of the
world, and which has been described
as the most momentous sea engage
ment ever fought.
Today the cities of New York and
Stockholm, Sweden, united in dong
honor to John Ericsson, who design
ed the Monitor.
A tablet was to be unveiled under
the auspices of the American Society
of Swedish Engineers at the house at
SO Beach street, where Ericsson llVed,

unveiled at 26O West street and the
site of the Phoenix foundry, where
the parts for the Monitor were turn

last active years. The latter cere-
mony was to be in charge of the
General Society of Mechanics and
Tradesmen. The Phoenix foundry

from the old Croton aqueduct to New

FORMAL TRANSFER
|0F WATERWORKS
|0CCURS TONIGHT
General Wheeler Here to
Deliver Plant to the
City
|gALL SPECIAL MEETING
Ordinance to Regulate
Rates of Water for
Both Plants

At special meeting of the city
council tonight the Palatka Water
works company will transfer to the
city its entire property holdings, in
cluding it's pumping station, stand
pipe, mains and real estate to the
city of Palatka in consideration of
$S5,0OO and an additional sum agreed
upon fo rfuel, oils and other stock
on hand.
General Ebert Wheeler, of Boston,
representing the owners of the COM
pany, arrived here yesterday for the
purpose of making the transfer, and
during yesterday afternoon and to-
day has been in conference with
members of council the city engineer
and the city attorney so that a COM
plete report may be rendered tonight
and the formal transfer made.
! As soon as the transfer is COM
pleted work of consolidating the two
plants will begin. Just when this
will start has not yet been deter
mined. There may be some delay
until satisfactory arrangements can
be made for capable engineer to
take charge of the work. City En-
gineer Randolph has sent in his res
ignation, but as yet it has not been
accepted, and it may be possible that
conditions under which he is under.
stood to have indicated he will re
main here may be met. If this SC
happens Captain Randolph will com.
Imence the work of consolidation i'm.
mediately.
Keep Waters Separate.
AS promised to the people wher
the bonds for the purchase of the
plant were voted, the waters will moi
be mixed, the present mains being
maintained and all services of the
old water will be kept just as they
are The new water will also b.
available to those who prefer it ant
at slightly lower cost. The onl!
change in conditions will be that al
persons having the old water servic,
will have to put in meter on thei
service pipes for lawn sprinklinl
and ornamental fountains. Their
will be no requirement of meters fo
the new water.
The capacity of the new water cal
be increased as desired and for thi
reason no restrictions are placed o.
its use. 1t will also be used mainl,
for fire purposes, although arrange
ments will be made so that the oil
water can also be used in case of a
emergency.
Details of the merging of the tw
plants have already been published
but so far as the consumers are con
cerned they will suffer no interrup
ton or change in their service.
- Will Pay for Itself.
Council figures that with tn
merging of the two plants, the in
crease of revenue and the cuttin,
down of the overhead expenses tn
plant will be- made to pay for itsel
within the next few years, so that i
will not be necessary to make tal
provisions for caring for the interes
and sinking fund.
Careful estimates have been mad
of the probable receipts and expendi
lures and the financing program i
considered sound, although no &C
counting is taken of the increase,
business as Palatka grows.
