Pensacola, I'la.: Your Tallahassee correspondent in bhis article appearing in The News of yesterday, speaks of Trammell’s bill to bond the State for six mil- Hon dollars to «rain the Everglades. Why he should so refer to the bill I cannot understand. The bill is not Trammeli's but is ameasure prepared and’ recommended by the drainage board. The bill shows plainly and unequivocally that it is not a meas~ lure to bond the State, but that it only provides for bons upon the Ev- erglades drainage district that the interest on the bonds and the funds for their retirement are to be raised exclusively by the drainage tax on the lands within the drainage dis- trict and only by a tax on said lands, \The bonds would not be State honds and the State would in no wise be liable for them. When I explained the bill to the House, I stated plainly | and positively that the bonds pro- rosed would not be State bonds or a State obligation, but that they would be drainage district bonds secured cnly by the drainage tax levied on lund in the drainage district only. Your reporter evidently has not read the bill and certainly did not hear the explanation of the measure made by Attorney General West and my. clf, or else he could not bave made the report which appears in your pa- per, It \was also explained by Mr. West and myself thag the drainage beard had employed Dillon, Thomson and Clay of New York, the most emi. nent bondd attorneys in America, to assist In the preparation of the menn-‘ tre and that they had given us a written opinion that the proposed bonds constituted only an obligation on the drainage district and wuld in no wise create a State debt or obligae tion. PARK TRAMMELL, Governor, BARACAS ENTERTAIN, Last evening in spite of the threat- ening appearance of the weather, seventy-five young people assembled in the Annex of the First Baptist church as guests of the Young Men’s | Baraca class, and enjoyed the un- usual evening's entertainment. From the time the young people arrived until 11 p. m. not a dull mo- | ment passed. Games of fun that were novel in their character, were played and in between times the guests enjoyed punch and dainty wafers. The punch was In charge of Mrs. Angell and was pronounced unexcelled and com- Plimentary thanks were voted to her for her kind assistance. This social I8 only one of the many which the young men are going to give to awaken the social life in the church. The Philathea classes which were in- vited as guests were made more than happy by the royal welcome they re- celved as were the young men who ‘were there as guests also, and it is ! safe to say that the class of young men will more than double its pres- ent record as the largest in Lake- land.
