New Council Organizes.
The new city council was organized
last f nrtay night by the election of Aid.
Ben. 1. Gay to the presidency in nlace
of Frank D. Wattles whose term on the
council had expired and who will again
enter upon the joys of private citizen
ship conscious of having served the city
faithfully and well.
Mr. Gay the new president, is the
oldest member of the council in point of
continuous service. The honor was
well bestowed.
The mayor's annual message was
read by City Clerk Triay and was close
ly listened to. It was a paper somewhat
out of the ordinary. It is published in
full on the second page of this paper.
As a recent act of the legislature per
mits the combining of the offices of
clerk, assessor and collector in one per
son, the election of a man to fill them
was deferred until an ordinance could
be passed to that effect.
Mr. A. T. Triay will probably be
elected to this 3-cornered office, being
efficient in all particulars and no known
opposition having been announced.
A chief of police will also be elected
at the next meeting, and that man will
probably be Koan am, the present in
cumbent. And why not? He knows
the job, is a gentleman at all times,
even when making an arrest, and wants
to hold on to it.

MAYOR DAVIS
IS OFF ON FACTS
Geo. E. Gay Says Mayor Dis
plays Ignorance of Condi
tions. Editor Palatka News:
Mayor Davis' message to the City
Council, in which he so severely criti
cises the Board of Bond Trustees, dis
plays such an ignorance of the condi
tions that it is hard to credit, consider
ing the knowledge he should have of
the city's affairs and the access he has
to the records of the City Council.
Mr. Davis has in the past made public
statements regarding the Board of Bond
Trustees, which when uttered, I firmly
believe he considered correct; but in
vestigation proved they were not in ac
cordance with facts.
While, with the balance of our citi
zens, J regret the delay in the matter of
lurtuer pavement of our city s streets, I
respectfully submit the following, which
are matters ot public record and nol
statements based upon impressions, un
reliable information, or a desire to mis
lead the public.

"Resolved, that the Secretary of the

funding five per cent bonds had been
sold, and that the Board recommended
to the City Council that North Third
Street from Ga. Southern and Fla. R. R.
to Lemon Street be paved with vitrified
brick."
The Board of Bond Trustees are more
than willing to do everything possible
to complete the improvements of our
city and I submit the foregoing, so that
our citizens can judge for themselves as
to where the blame lies.
The unexpended balance of funds for
paving has only been available since
Jan. 13th, 1909.
Yours very truly,
GEO. E. GAY.

Notwithstanding the fact that our pop
ulation has been greatly depleted by the
exodus of northern tourists, services
were held on Sunday morning in all
of the three churches, and each denomi
nation was well represented. A change
has been made from the third to the sec
ond Sunday in each month for the ap
pointed service at the M. E. church, the
Cong'l church will hereafter have no
preaching service on the second Sunday,
and on that day Rev. Mr. Townsend will
fill his appointment at Grove Park.
