From the Glole-Trotter.
The oldest permanent settlement by
Europeans in the United States Is that
of st. Augustine, In the northeastern
part of Florida. It was settled by Pedro
Menendez de Aviles on st. AuguStine's
day. August IS. 1868. Hence the name
OF the city still standing on the eastern
seaboard of the State Of Florida.
The house pictured was built shortly
after the Spanish settlers landed and Is
in a fine state OF preservation. Three
flags, displayed from small balcony,
indicate the three nations under whose
sovereignty the State has been ruled:
Spain, France and the United States.
Visitors by the thousands come here
every year to see the quaint interior OF
this old structure and the exhibits ON

WILL
FIGHT PROPOSED
RATE, REDUCTION;
By United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. %,
Farmers Of California plan to fight
against proposed electric rate re
ductions of the Pacific Gas and
Electric company and the great
Western Power company, which are
declared to offer little relief to the
rural residents of the state.
The farming sections were expect
cd to line up against the city of
san Francisco as we'll as the power
companies in a three cornered fight
that was developing.
Postponcment of hearings on the
new rate schedule followed announ
cement bv City Attorney John j.
Q 'Toolc that San Francisco would
seek greater reductions.
j. J. Duell, chairman of the Farm
Bureau Federation S Utility com
mittee, today described the propos-
Cd schedule as unfair to the farmers.
He said the new rates apply only
to commercial and residential light
ing and therefore the farmers, WHO
use agricultural power, will receive
no reductions.
Ducn declared the farmers face
bankruptcy and should be given re
lief in the form Of rate reductions.
."Ncvcr in the history of Calf
ornia agriculture have we faced Sc
serious a situation as the one we
face today, owing to the certainty
of still greater ovcr-productlon for
the next two or three years, he
said.
Duell urged that of the $2,0o0,000
rate reduction proposed in the new
schedule, at least 81, 100000 be given
to the farmers.
"We intend to investigate the
new rates thoroughly in the belief
that further reductions should be
crdercd,'' WAS O 'Toole S statement.
