COMES
BACK AT REESE
Could Sign Warrants All Day Long If
He Listened At 'Em-AlWays
Paid Out of General Fund

James Macgibbon, clerk of the cir
cult court, who has so far failed to
sign the warrants for the five thous-
and dollars for the county bond trus-
tees, believing 1t to be misapplica-
ton of funds, to take this money for
the trustees out of the bond money.
and having been informed by state
comptroller Ernest Amos, said yester-
day:
1.-THE bond trustees commissions
have always been paid out of the gen.
eral fund and according to statute,
three or four county attorneys have
ruled accordingly and until now, the
bond trustees have not been represent
ed by the same lawyer. 1t takes money
to pay these commissions whatever
fund they're paid from or extracted
from. 1t would be an impairment of
the bond fund or the sinking fund ac-
cumulated for these bonds If token
out of that fund. Even if legal it
would be necessary to put the money
back.
Cor It would be an impairment of
the county's credit not to put it back.
Further it does not take mill or even
a half mill to settle the bond trustees
bill which was lately ordered paid.
''The basic statute governing this
proposition in the past and from
which the present statute was revised
provided that these commissions
should be paid as were the county
treasurers' commissions. .
81 will advise the board whenever
the time comes that It does not take
one mill, but less than one-haR mill,
and the board can either take my fig
ures, or those advanced by their at
torney, namely-one mill.
81 believe that the board money
should be spent on the roads, where it
belongs. I could sign these warrants

A modern apartment house will, in
the near future, be erected on the
northeast corner Of Spring and Greg

old high school site. according to an
announcement yesterday afternoon. A
picture Of the proposed structure and
a placard announcing the intention

"a modern apartment house" on this
valuable property is now in the show
Fisher Rental Agency has the propo-
sition in charge and anyone who cares
to see the plans or to inquire as to
rates may call at their office.
AS the photograph indicates the new
building is to be one Of the most beau
tiful and attractive in the city when
1t is completed and to erect such a
structure will require the expenditure
OF a considerable amount of money.
1t is to be, built of solid brick and
stucco and the type Of architecture is
such as one would see in the better
residential sections of Southern Call
fornia cities, famous the world over
for modern homes of attractive archi
tectural design.
There will be four separate and
complete apartments in the building,
and each apartment will consist of six
rooms sleeping porch and garage. The.
interior finished viii be in the best

ture If the present plans are carried

SCHOOL FUND SHORT
NEARLY $4,000.
HiIlsborough County Had Like Ex-
perience With Escambia But County
Commissioners Made Up Deficit.

Unless something definite and con-
structive Is done within the next few
days, the city school will have to close
their doors, and the efforts which have
been put forward to maintain the
proven fruitless.
In spite OF the extension OF the cam
patgn, the fund is short about $4,000,
and it was stated last night by one
Of the committee Of twenty which has
been making the canvass for the past
week that unless the full amount is
subscribed. that which was raised by
this committee will probably be turned
back to the subscribers.
In speaking Of the situation which
has been faced ell over the state, at
tention was called to the fact yes
terday afternoon that Hillsborough
county In its recent drive for it's schools
was short five thousand dollars, this
amount having been made up by the
county commissioners. One rich Cuban
in Ybor City, in this drive, paid the
tuition for the pupils Of one entire
school.
In Palatlxa they made up the sum
og $4,000, which was their school
shortage. in one evening, at public
meeting.
From press reports 1t would sceem
that about the only counties in the
state that are not badly behind on
the school question are Duval and
Gadsden. However, that may be, Pen
sacola Is short $4,000 in going over the
top, and unless something is done and
done quickly, the schools must neces-
sarily be closed.

MANY ACTIVITIES
AT THE Y. M. c. A.
Pensacola "Y" Building Is Mecca
for the Hundreds of Young
Fellows Of City.

Notwithstanding the fact that spring
is on, and the heat is beginning to be
felt, the Y NJ G. A. continues to be
very popular with the young men and
boys, as we'll as with many of the
young business men.
The lobby and game room and also
the gymnasium are crowded practical
ly every afternoon and evening with
the members using the various priv
ileges. The building is also the center
of many OF the community activities
and meeting place for many of the
tions. The Y. M. c. A. is the one
place in Pensacola where all fell free
to hold their meetings and the secre-
taries are always glad to make place
and comfortable meetings places for
those who wish to meet in the building.
To give an idea of an afternoon and
evenings activities. even this far into
the spring Secretary Moore relates
the following as being one OF the days
OF the past week:
In the afternoon the Junior Boys
Gymnasium class, early veening the
Employed Boys class. while in another
part Of the building the HI Y Club is
meeting. The Twilight Base Ball
Meeting, the Young Mems Gymnasium
class on the gym floor, and still in an
other part Of the building the Tennis
Tournament Committee were holding
meeting.
This is a fair sample Of one OF the
days through which the men in charge
of the work go through, and are glad
OF the services they can render.
To those not In close touch with the
activities of the association, and yet
Interested in its place in the COM
munity the above facts will be OF In
terest and will give to many clearer
conception of what is really being ac-
complished in the work of this worthy
organization.
Some OF the plans for the summer
are the Tennis Tournament for SEN
Tors, a Boys Camp for the boys, i'm
mediately following the closing of
school Swimming Campaign. city
wide; Junior Twilight Baseball League,
Billiard Tournament for Senior Mem
bers. These activities viii be con-
Quoted in addition to the regular
