Which is merely a somewhat in volved way of saying that if the com mission chooses to transact the city's business behind closed doors it may do so. Tossibly the drawer of the bill did not intend to give the commission power to exclude the public from its meetings, but he has most effectively done that very thing. SPECIAL TAX SCHOOL DISTRICT DILL NOV DEFORE LEGISLATURE In the lower hose of the Florida leg islature was introduced last Saturday a bill providing that the territory now embraced within the corporate limits of the city of Daytona be "created special tax school district number 6 of the county of Volusia and state of Florida." The measure was introduc ed by Representatives II. G. Putnam and J. G. Cade, and Senator Terrell will present it in the upper house Tuesday. W M. Hankins, president of the mu nicipal school board, and Attorney E. F'. Oates, who went to Tallahassee last week to see about getting legis lative action on the special tax school district bill, returned to Daytona Sun day afternoon.' As it is legislation af fecting only local people and has the endorsement or the county s repre sentatives, there is little probability that the bill will not be passed by the house and senate and approved by the governor within the next two or three weeks. This done, the city will then be in shape to issue school im provement bonds about the validity of which there will be no question. It is probable that action will be taken soon looking to the calling and hold ing of another election to decide whether or not the city shall issue $80,000 more of bonds-for school pur poses.. mm um ITALY NOT 2:00 O'CLOCK TOK honrid disaster, but practically r r.favomble to the adoption of any election that might be characterized y.

SIX HUNDRED CAR K LLED AND A THOUSAND MORE WERE WOUNDED Mrs. II. II. Knappe had an experi ence last Saturday at her home in Blake which she thought It would be well to let the public know about, as it might put others on their guard and she therefore telephoned the in cident to the office of the Dally News and Gazette-News. Mrs. Knappe opened a can of a well-known brand of roach poison for the purpose of putting some of the poison out for these insects which be come more troublesome in warm weather. - She inserted a spoon into the can to get some of the poison and was amazed to see the stuff burst into a blaze. At the same time the con tents of the can also ignited as did also what had arhered to the lid which she had laid to one side, all three blazing away merrily. Mrs. Knappe says there was no fire of any kind about at the time and it was evidently a clear case of spontaneous combustion. She says she has been using this brand of roach poison for many years and never met with any- trouble of this kind before, but thinks that others who are using it should be -warned by her experience and take no chances with it.

Hamilton, who had been located at 315 Volusia ave nue through the season, left Saturday for Orlando where they will spend a short time with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. C. It.
