and Mrs. Guy Rizzotto, 8723 Larkhall Place. With loving care, Gay has nursed her feathered friends, named Pete and Charlie, for about two weeks. One was apparently hurt by the fall but both will soon be ready to go on their carefree way. Car Demolished, Driver Fair third congressional district, paid his $15.80 city sewer and water bill under protest Feb.

5, 1969, and challenged having to pay it at all. In a class suit demanding that all revenue collected under three city ordinances be returned to the payee on the grounds the ordinances were illegally agreed upon at a meeting at the Deerwood Country Club during Thanksgiving week in 1968. THE MEETING, Jones said, was attended by Jacksonville Mayor Hans Tanzler, five members of the city council who comprise the finance committee and one. councilman not a member of the committee. Although the committee can only recommend to the council, Jones contends that the enactment was perfunctory and automatic after the "secret agreement" at a meeting of the committee from which the public allegedly was barred.

Jones said the meeting was discovered by a Jacksonville television station. He said the delegation of authority to "committees" resulted in a "devious way" of depriving the public of the right to be heard at a time when ordinances are being framed and a major phase of the route to becoming law is taking place. IN PUSHING this point, he recites two parts of the landmark Supreme Court decision upholding the open meeting law: "Regardless of their good intentions boards and commissions through devious ways should not be allowed to deprive the public of this inalienable right to be heard at all deliberations wherein decisions affecting the general public are being made," that decision said. The court also asserted the public's right "to be present during all phases of enactments by boards and commissions is a source of strength in our country." The law was enacted, the court decision said, "to cover any gathering of the members when the members deal with matters where foreseeable action will be taken JONES CLAIMS this covers the finance committee meeting even though it could not officially adopt ordinances. Attorneys for Tanzler and the commmttee disagreed, pointing out that not only was no action taken, but that whereas only six council members were present, the law requires 14 of the 19 members to be present for a quorum.

The Duval County Circuit Court and North Florida District Court of Appeals refused relief to Jones, finding the alleged meeting was not in conflict with the law. Tanzler's lawyers said the mayor and finance committee do not make up a board of any agency with power to act. is listed in fair condition at Tampa General Hospital.

Adds 9 New Faculty Members istory Written In Stone The University of Tampa has announced the addition of nine full-time faculty members, who will join the staff in the fall semester. Additionally, one instructor At Fellowship Cemetery By CAROL NEEF Tribune Staff Writer THE FIRST grave that of a Mrs.

Nancy Young was placed there in 1878. The little cemetery is interesting not just because of its early history but because of the variety of gravestones found there. They range from small and insignificant to some which border on the ostentatious and a few of the graves in the oldest part of the cemetery are unmarked. Twice a year in November and May descendants and friends of the pioneers buried in Friendship Cemetery bring rakes and hoes and put the cemetery Please See Page 8, Col. 3 Many of the persons who wrote the early history of the southeastern part of Hillsborough County rest beneath the headstones of Fellowship Cemetery midway between Fort Lonesome and Wimauma.

A walk through the small, fence-enclosed cemetery reveals the names of Kickliter, Sweat, Stanaland, Alderman, Wadsworth, Carlton, Saffold, Lee, Lynn, and Simmons and some of their descendants. The first minister of Fellowship Primitive Baptist Church, Andrew Kickliter, deeded the land as a free cemetery for people of the community, and it is still free today to descendants of those early settlers. Human Head Found At 'Haunted House' JACKSONVILLE (UPI) A human head found in the back yard of an abandoned "haunted house" in downtown Jacksonville was stolen from a body at Duval Medical Center last November, police said yesterday. Police said the head was taken by an orderly at the hospital, who buried it in the yard and occasionally took friends to show it to them. "THIS fellow in one way is a genius and in another way is a nut," said Detective Sgt.

Paul Short. Short said an informant had told him that the orderly had taken him to the back yard to see the head once and had said he occasionally made visits by himself. Short said police were still looking for the orderly and declined to release his name. The detective said the head, of a man in his 50s," was kept in an airtight germicidal bag which prevented it from decomposing. THE HEAD was discovered by two youngsters Saturday afternoon.

They ran to the street and told Ronald Russ and Eddie Price, both 14, who called police. Police said the bag was laying at the bottom of an 18-inch deep hole that was 18 inches across. They speculated that overnight rain had washed away dirt that had been covering it. The three-story stone masonry house has been abandoned for several years, and residents have taken to calling it "the haunted house." "Every town has its haunted house, and I guess that one is ours," an officer said. I The additions at UT this fall are Gilbert DeMeza, William J.

Resisted Outbreak officers had arrived." After the suspects had escaped, Haynes said, the patrolmen were ordered to leave the area and as one officer walked through the crowd he was pushed to the ground. A NEARBY patrolman aided the officer in arresting Kenneth Lee Williams, 21,2111 Cherry after a brief struggle that resulted in the shirt being torn off one policeman and the other receiving a small laceration near the eye, he said.
