OUR TRANSPORTATION LINES.
Palatka has always felt a warm
interest in the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railway, and we have
always looked toward the country
southwark about to be opened up by
the extension of this road as the
natural field for the development of
our commercial interests. With
this idea Palatka has done all that
lay in her power to foster the broad
guage road; she considered the en-
terprise as one promising as much
in the near future for the advance
ment of her best interests as the
Florida Southern which was more
peculiarly her own as being the first
! born of her prosperity. We have
now two railroads and the immedi-
| ate promise of three more, and the
| different lines of river steamers have
ceased to discriminate against 10 or
make of our city ':a way station"
Why then, just at this time, is
there among our most thoughtful
merchants feeling that their part
! in the territory on the east coast
| southwark has been bartered away?
Why is there feeling that Palatka
will be allowed no fair deal by rea-
son of discrimination in favor of
Jacksonville? Why do some who
have confidently looked forward to
the rich fields TO the east of the st.
Johns and along the Halifax and
Indian rivers as the basis on which
the future greatness Of Palatka
would safely rest, begin to distrust
the future?
We ask of our transportation lines
only fair play and nothing else. We
only ask that freight from other
towns be required to pay the same
rate as our own in proportion to dis
tance. We do not ask kindness
even from those corporations which
have received kindness from us, be-
cause we made the gifts with. the
| full belief that our own greatness
must grow with the prosperity of
our lines of transportation. The
Florida Southern has always
shown a proper appreciation
of Palatka's trade-the river
steamers no longer give us the
cold shoulder, and we would only
ask why the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railway should dis
crimiuate against US in the fond
hope that the Lew freight tariff of
that road may be explained or rec
tilted. In this matter every mer-
chant In Palatka 10 concerned; the
future growth of our city is in great
measure unsolved, it may be neces.
sary to invoke the united action of
our business men to insist on a
change of policy which, if continued,
would work great harm to our city.
Most of us can recall the time when
freight was carried to points south
of US as cheaply from Jacksonville
rs from Palatka while our merchants
were required tc pay IN addition the
freight between Jacksonville and
this city. Here, other things being
equal, we must lose the freight be-
tween ue and Jacksonville. IF the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railroad begins q similar policy it
willclose the country along that line,
and it is to the interest of our mer-
chants that the worst Be known At
