A dozen or more of Uncle Sam's battleships will spend several weeks in Pensacola this fall, likely during the fair. Florida receives 1 029 000 under the rivers and harbors bill, with all major river and harbor projects benefiting. State finances appear solid as Treasurer J C Luning reports 1 001 549 61 in funds at July 31. Voters will decide three constitutional amendments in November including a new circuit judge for Duval, bonds for special tax school districts, and the initiative and referendum.
