Measure For Adjustment /
OF Fee System In Florida
Adopted By Commissioners
Convention In Tampa
Favors Manager Be Sc
Iected To Direct Affairs
In Each County

Abolishing the fee system
and having the affairs of the
counties in Florida placed
under direction of a man
ager are two of the out
standing measures adopted
at the convention of Florida
County Commissioners at
Tampa last week.
William v. Albury, attorney for
the Monroe county commissioners
who attended the convention, was
q returning passenger over the
highway last night.
Commenting on the plans of
the convention Mr.. Albury said
that it is proposed to amend the
constitution of the state of Flor
ida in order that the affairs Of
counties may be handled by a
manager, who viii be responsible
for the conduct of his office to
the board Of county commissioners
of each county.
It is also proposed, said Mr.. AL
bury. to abolish the fee system, to
allow the manager to fix the
salaries of county officials and his
actions to be subject to the APP
prevail Of the board. Several coun-
ties are now trying this system
and pronounce it a successful ex-
pertinent.
One Of the other proposed
amendments TO the constitution
that was endorsed by the conven-
tion IS the proposal to appoint an
other judge to the supreme court,
making seven instead of six. This
viii abolish the three commission
ers and save thousands of dollars
to the state annually.
Many other matters were coA-
sidered by the convention, said Mr..
Albury, but those mentioned are
the ones that will have the great
est effect on the affairs Of Mon
roe county.
Practically every county in the
state was represented, Mr.. Albury
and Commissioner Roy Fulford
representing Monroe.
Final action on these proposed
changes in the constitution will be
taken at the annual convention in
1888 which is to be held some time
prior to the session Of the legis-
lature.
Visiting members were guests of
the Tampa body at q luncheon FRI
day and at night an elaborate BAN
quet was sponsored By the Tampa
board.
The following day all of the vis-
itors were taken to the Tampa
Portland Cement company mills
which, said Mr.. Albury. was q
highly interesting as well as edu-
eational experience.

By United Press
SEATTLE, June 9.-Prohibition
may play but a minor part in the
convention of the general Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, it was in
dicated today.
Mrs. John F. Sippel, Washington,
president, said it was probable no
resolution concerning prohibition
will reach the floor this year. She
said she is a dry, but favors a ref
erendum and more liberal planks
in both party platforms.
There was some speculation that
a move for a resubmission resolu-
ton would be formulated.
Formal opening of the conven-
ton here tonight was the cause of
much preparation today as 1000
delegates arrived for the ten-day
meeting.
