Former Bemidji Gentleman
Extensively Interested
In Florida.
ONE OF A COMPANY WHO HAVE
ACQUIRED LARGE HOLDINGS.
Cruisers From This City to Go to
Florida to Estimate the Newly
Acquired Tracts.

Frank Snyder, a former we'll
known Bemidji gentleman who is
spending the winter at the coy
little resort of Mary Esther,
Florida. has been writing some
very interesting letters to his
Bemidji friends since his So
journ in the land of flowers and
Eintasrecent letter he tells Of hav-
ling become interested in a
Florida Lumber Company, who
have acquired large tracts of
pine and are to get it out as soon
as possible.
Bemidji was Mr.. Snyder's
first love and he rememb ers the
city with the keenest pleasure
and says that Of all the towns he
has visited since he left here
with his family some time ago
there are none to compare with
it. Like every northern man
who goes south Mr.. Snyder sees
opportunities which only await
we'll directed energy to develop
and among these are the virgin
pine forests of the land of
flowers. Some of the most mag
nifcent growths of white pine
anywhere on the continent are
to be found in Florida and the
northern man who goes south on
a pleasure trip in the winter and
realizes that the pine forests OF
this section are disappearing
rapidly has been taking more
than a passing interest in them
lately with the result that a num-
Der of companies are formed to
cut the timber.
Successful numbering does not
have the natural advantages any
where in the country says Mr..
Snyder that it does in the south.
J Magnifc cent waterway are every
where, labor may be had at a
nominal figure and the pine log
can be gotten out and converted
into lumber at nominal costand
will find a ready market at home.
The southerner has most of his
lumber shipped in nevertheless.
Mr.. Snyder is extensively
interested in a company backed
by northern capital which has
recently acquired $4,000 acres of
pine land in Florida. Cruisers
from this city and vicinity will be
employed to estimate the timber
and will do the work this winter.
Next year the work of cutting
will be begun and Mr.. Snyder
and the gentlemen interested
with him are confident that they
will find their venture paying

mission and the residents and the prop erty.llolders of the county in position to act further in protecting life and prop erty value Here at last seems present. ed a great public question on which all interests can unite Manufacturers, cor porations, as well as private citizens, let 1t be handled quickly, broadly and in jus tice to all. But handle it; send letters to the chairman; don't delay. As to the ad- visibility, the actual necessity of Birm- ingham owning and operating It's own water works plant, my mind was clearly made up several years ago, when l inves- tigated this mater as a city official. The question of the health and life of peo- pie is toe important to be left to the con- trol and volition of private, non-resi- dent corporation Much interesting data can be obtained for the committee which very wisely has at last been appointed by the mayor and board of aldermen to handle this vital question.
 Trusting that the suggestions herein made will provoke further discussion, and that the ultimate results will be not only for the best interests or Jefferson county and of Alabama. but also for the whole country, l am. very respectfully,

I urge the necessity Of prompt action in this matter Of more water TOT all, The various municipalities, coun- cils hoard of revenue.

 Prompt Action.
 As gentlemen and as citizens they will naturally shrink from asking of their own volition this increased power. We must do it for them Prompt action is absolute ly necessary The legislature will meet on January 13. and it will probably re- ouire three weeks publication to secure these enlarged powers. Delay will. there- fore, be fatal. Each father. each mother of every family in the district, every phy- s,cian, every board of health, every own CT, president. manager or superintendent of every manufacturing plant in the dis trict, every mayor. every property-holder and citizen interested should at once sit down and in writing ask the chairman of the Jefferson county sanitary commission to rigidly investigate without a days de- lay this water supply: and if that in- vestigaticn confirms even in a less meas ure the truth of tho facts I havo cn- deavored to set forth in this communi- catp h. to at onco ask tho legislature for such amended powers as will put the com

As to Waste Water.

 As to Waste Water.
 It will not do to say that the waste water from private residences, manufac- turing establishments. or public build ings will furnish an adequate or regular supply. Any checking of the present use- less waste will diminish that flow. The use of meters will, and should. greatly reduce 1t. Even in Birmingham it was deemed necessary by Colonel waring to supplement the, flow from houses by the construction Of special flush tanks empty ing directly into the main sewers.
 : The need of additional flushing will be more emphasized in the hot and more sickly season of the year on account of there being no open hydrants running. large numbers of people being out of town especially from the South and North Highlands from whence this waste water runs down into the lower and larger sewers. But how much more is the necessity of having their own water sup ply demonstrated in the case of Wood lawn or of North Birmingham. The Jeff ferson county sanitary commission has no present right or power to compel the Birmingham Water Works company to lay pipes or furnish those municipalities with water for either house connections or trunk line flushing. If these munich palities do not elect to put in a sewer system, or to take water from the water company, or if the company does not choose to put in water at either the re- quest or demand of either the commission or of the municipalities: or if the rrice cannot be agreed upon, of what use is the costly system of brick arches and pipes which the taxpayers of the county have caused to be built to Woodlawn or to North Birmingham
 Marked Illustrations.
 More marked is the illustration when applied to Smithfield, East Birmingham or West End. or to any other of the crowded suburban settlements where no municipality exists, with which the com mission or the water company could deal Still more emphatic, if not actually startling, is the situation as illustrated at Ellyton, where the people have to vote declined to incorporate. The com mission. and the ability to supply, the use of water as well as of pipes. With this addition, the situation. simplifies it. self into easy and just working condi- tions. Without it.
