II. Daey, in Dearborn Indepen dent. Three decades ago, a citizen of De troit and a Russian nobleman on a tishing trip along the western coast "f Florida decided 'a most extraordi nary dispute by the flip of a coin. It so happend that these two gentlemen J jointly owned the land which today lli the site of the city of St. Peters burg, known popularly from coast to -oast as the sunshine city of the South. These capitalists agreed in ( 'heir selection of a location for the city which they proposed to build and develop. They could not agree, how- ' t-vi-r, on the name. Finally, the Amor nan who wished to fall the city Detroit, Florida, suggested to his companion who wanted to christen the embryonic municipality St. Petersburg, after his beloved birth- j place, that they toss a coin to decide the controversy. The nobleman ac- 1 ? luiesced. A dime was flipped into the air and when it foil to the deck of the boat the head of the coin was ex posed. The Russian had won and St. Petersburg became the name of the resort which during the winter of 1022-1923 entertained approximate! v '.'0,000 visitors. The town of York was in darkness for two hours last Thursday as a re sult of a col'ision between an auto mobile of a v. i I known make and a power line pole.
