If a commission firm makes a price with a grower to take his croy straight through at a certain price f. 0. b. Sanford and the mnr!;c;l should go down the commission firm i3 bound to pay the contract price whether the agreement is in writing or is an oral one, provided there are witnesses to the agreement. The decision has been made by the court in New York in the case of L. A. Bruley vs. the G. B, Fish Co., oi New York city and will be of great interest to every grower in the Celery Delta and in other parts of Florida. Early last season the representa- tive of Fish & Co., wanted celery and wanted it badly and at that time there was little to be had except that of Mr. Brumley, and having prime stuff Mr. Brumley wantel a good price for the same and the rep- resentative made a contract for the entire crop at a good figure. The parties made the contract ver- bally but in the presence of witness- es and the inspector of the pack de- cided upon was agreeable to both parties. The first shipments were all right and then the high market dropped and n#turally the commis- sion firm tried to cover by refusing any more shipments. The celery was ir good order and the pack perfect, yet following the usual tactics of the man in the northern market and the grower way down in Florda the firm We are surprised to know that)Lansingburg, and from 1896 to 1900 | thought they could refuse the ship- there is any one who has hean living as commisgion of jurors for Rensse-|™ent and there would be - nothiny in Lakeland since that bond issue w8 voted who does nai know the tistory of it. For tae lnl’armallou! of any such, however, we will gtate that a proposition to issue honds in| the sum of $25,000 for new school | buildings was carried by a large ma- Jerity of the voters of the city. It developed, howaver, that no such is-| gue could be legally made, the courts' having held that municipalities could noa issue bonds for school pur-, poses, The matter has rested ever [ Bince, awaiting the election on an amendment to the Constitution, em- powering school districts to issue bonds, which amendment was vg&ed‘ by the peopie last November. ’I‘he? amendment was ratified by the Leg-i islature during the last session, a.n(lI immediately thereafter electivns were called in numerous districts all over the State, the Lakeland district among them. No bonds have ever been issued for school purposes except an fssue of $10,000 about ten years ago to rrovide the present building. In other words, while the city has gone alead and progressed and .developed along all other i it has dong; nothing to adva 1 wchool inter- eets during the past ten years. It i3 true that this wonld not have been the case had the municipality been cmpowered to issue bonds for school purposes; but the opportunity to re- lieve a very distressing situation i3 row presented, and we believe that the patriotic and public-spirited citi- zens of the district will respond to, it as they should.
