Mr.. Plants Funeral

Funeral services of the late
Henry b. Plant took place at the
residence on Fifth avenue, New
York, at p. m. today, and TO-
morrow afternoon the interrment
will take place in the family
burial ground in the cemetery at
New Branford, Conn, where the
deceased was born.
The board of trade of Tampa
and the city council have issued
resolutions Of respect, and the
mayor has issued a proclamation
calling on all business men to
close their doors for an hour this
afternoon while the funeral SER
vices are being held.
Mr.. Plant was closely connect
ed with over twenty different en-
terprises, mostly all bearing on
the welfare of Florida, and he
gave each the same close atten-
tion that merchant would give
his individual business, which
seems almost impossible when his
age was taken into consldera-
ton.
He was president of the follow
ing corporations: The Southern
Express Company, one of the
largest and wealthiest concerns
Of it's kind in the world; the
Texas Express Company; the
Plant System of railways, en-
bracing over 1000 miles of road,
consisting of sixteen separate
railroads; the various Pant
steamship lines; the Associated
Railway Land Department; the
Plant Investment Co., owning
the large west coast winter re-
sorts, among which IS the won
derful and magnificent Tampa
Bay, and our own Ocala House.
Mr.. Plant began his railroad
career III 1879, when he purchas-
ed the Atlantic & Gulf, then rum
ming from Savannah via Way
cross and Dupont to Live Oak,
and subsequently adding the
Jacksonville branch and Dupont
to Bainbridge, Climax to Chatta-
hoochee and Live Oak to Gaines
vile. The road, about this time,
was reorganized as the Savan-
nah, Florida & Western. In
1882 the Plant System was
formed, absorbing the Charles
ton & Savannah, Brunswick e
Western, and Ala bama Midland,
and building besides what was
formerly known as the South
Florida, but now division of the
$. F. & w. from Sanford to Port
Tampa and a branch from Lake
land to Inverness. Later the S.
S., o. & @. was purchased and a
line built from High Springs to
Juliettc, making a new through
line to Tampa. SINCE then the
Florida Southern, Sanford and
ST. Petersburg, Jacksonville,
Tampa & Key West, and nu-
merous other smaller lines were
absorbed, making it one of the
largest and most important sys-
TENS in this country.
Shortly before his death he had
concluded arrangements for the
erection Of a magnificent hotel in
Havana, to cost s., 100000, and
several fine steamships are now
in the course Of construction, to
be used between Port Tampa and
the West Indies, which, when
completed, will be the finest pas
senger ships IN the coastwise SER

THE 'SQUIRES' SALARIES.
Township Trustee Will OWE Them
New Quarters.

Now that the fees collected by the justices
of the peace do not go into their pockets,
but into the township treasury, and they
must look TO the trustee for their salaries,
the 'squires are wondering whether the
trustee has the money to pay them, they
having the general impression that the office
of township trustee is of little Importance
financially.
'They needn't worry said Township
Trustee Makepeaee yesterday. IF there isn't
enough money in the treasury the township
can borrow some"
He said this so sarcastically that he was
asked to be really serious, and, complying,
said he did not think he would be greatly
inconvenienced when the time came to pay
off the justices. They will be paid every
three months and will turn in the fees col
lected at the same periods. trustee Make
peace said thai he was not asked to con-
bill for township reform. He said he be-
lieved he could make some valuable sugges-
lions that were not made.
The County Commissioners are consider
ing a suggestion of the Marion County Bar
Association that the justices have their
offices III the large empty rooms on the top
floor of the courthouse. Under the new
law the commissioners have the right to
say where the offices shall be located. Now
that the justices do not have to depend on
catching business, it does not matter to
them where they are located, and Justice
Lockman has notified the commissioners
that he will give up his Office. 1.-THE rent be-
ing too high" and is considering having his
court at his house The ounty would charge
the township rent for the rooms in the
courthouse, and the commissioners under
of the justices salaries should be spent in
rent and fixtures.

$4,000 FOR DRILLS
WAY THE GOVERNOR FIGURES ON
FL STATE MILITIA BILL.
Doesn't Like to Have Supervision of
Expenditures Taken Away
from Him.

The more Governor Mount considers the
bill for the reorganization OF the Indiana
National Guard, carrying with it an appro-
p~riation of $100, 600 a year. the less he likes
it. He found yesterday, for instance. on Il
careful consideration of the bill, that it APP
propriates over $4,000 a year for each regi-
ment in the militia, making the adjutant
general of the State the disbursing officer,
without requiring that his expenditures
shall be approved by the Governor, as are
those of the State, while the adiutant gem
erals office, at the same time, is made up
of appointees of the Governor. Under this
bill he would have no supervision over them.
1t makes various annual appropriations for
expenses of regimental, battalion and COM
pany headquarters of each regiment
amounting to 81, $50 a year. But the great
leak is in paying for company drills, he
says. The bill provides for at least forty
eight drills a year of one hour each, for
each of which it is stipulated captains or
other company commanders shall receive 81
each, first lieutenants IS cents, second lieu
tenants 60 cents, first sergeant and quarter
master sergeants so cents, sergeants 50
cents, corporals 50 cents and p~rivates 70
cents. Counting eighty-fOur priVates to the
company, this allowance, the Governor fig
ured out with a reporter, on the basis OF
twelve companies to a regiment, would be
$11, $40 a year for company drills in each
regiment, or, with the allowances of head
quarters expenses, $13,370 a year for each
regiment, or $5S, $50 for drill expenses of a
brigade. This is not taking into account
expenses OF arms, requirements, state en-
campments, etc. In the present condition
of the State finances, when so many urgent
demands are being made for the charitable
and correctional institutions, the Governor
believes that $4,000 a year is a sufficient APP
preparation.
with this amount he believes that 1t will
be possible to reorganize the National
Guard with two full regiments and three
batteries, and this, he believes, is sufficient
to meet all the requirements OF the State
for the present. He called the attention of
some of the leaders of the Legislature to
these conditions yesterday, and expressed
hope that a simpler bill, with a smaller APP
preparation and providing for supervision by
the executive department of military eXpen-
ditures, would be passed. The Governor IS
fully impressed with the necessity Tor Il re-
organization of the militia, but does not
want it plunged into extravaganza.

WILL OFFER A SUBSTITUTE.
Governor Proposes a New Road Tax
Bill TO LeEiaIature.

Governor a new EaOau IdA
Bill TO Legislature.
To-day Governor Mount will offer to the
Legislature a substitute bill concerning the
of road axes. The bill now pend
ing simply provides that corporations shall
be required TO pay road taxes in cash and
that persons may continue to work out
what is due them on the Dad This, the
Governor fears, is in ~contravention OF the
Constitution, which provides that all taxes
shall apply to all citizens alike 1t is the
opinion of the Governor that all taxpayers,
corporations or persons should pay their
taxes in cash. He would provide that such
taxpayers might afterward have the option
of working on the 70 ds where the super
visor might designate at a legal rate for a
bona fde days work, to be designated by
law, say $125 or $1.50 for eight hours, or
such hours and prices as may be designated.
The Governor has before him data showing
that one railroad corporation in a single
county farmed out it's road tax at So per
cent. of what was due the county. b
what right" the Governor asks, shall a
corporation pay only Go per cent, placing
the other 80 per cent, more than one-third,
in it's own pocket? Some law prohibiting
such practices should be adopted. This
reprehensible practice of farming out the
road taxes should be stopped. and / expect
to call especial attention of the Legislature
to this subject"
